Adventure/Comedy. Sweden/Denmark/Yugoslavia. Starring Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt, Dirch Passer, Åke Söderblom & Loredana Nusciak. Directed by Arne Mattsson.

Arena (Sweden). Swedish language. Widescreen.

Beyond awful slapstick viking "comedy". Mattson at his worst. 1/5

Original title: All'ombra delle Aquile

Peplum. Italy/West Germany/Yugoslavia. Starring Cameron Mitchell & Beba Loncar. Directed by Ferdinando Baldi.

DVD: Minerva (Greece). English dubbed. Widescreen. Surprisingly good quality for a budget newsstand DVD.

Niebelungen Part 1: Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy (1966)

Original title: Die Nibelungen, Teil 1 - Siegfried

Fantasy. West Germany/Yugoslavia. Starring Uwe Beyer, Rolf Henniger, Maria Marlow, Terence Hill, Hans von Borsody, Samson Burke & Fred Williams. Directed by Harald Reinl.

Video Alsen (Greece). English dubbed. Widescreen.

Visually imaginative and quite good Niebelungen adaption. But of course it's no match for the more poetic Fritz Lang silent version which, despite being made 40 years ealier, is better in every aspect, even in the special-FX department. Anyway, does anyone have part 2 of this thing? 3/5

Original title: Volshebnaya Lampa Aladdina

Arabian fantasy. Soviet Union. Starring Boris Bystrov, Dodo Chogovadze & Yuri Chekulayev. Directed by Boris Rytsarev.

Frekvensia GeTe (Sweden). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

This Soviet made kiddie fantasy film has some imaginative sets and special-FX but is marred by bad dubbing. Entertaining enough but nothing too special. 3/5

Knives of the Avenger (1966)

Original title: I Coltelli del Vendicatore

Peplum/Vikings. Italy. Starring Cameron Mitchell, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart & Fausto Tozzi. Directed by Mario Bava.

Magna Filmi Oy (Finland). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Western disguised as viking peplum. Never really cared for this film, watch the much better Erik the Conqueror instead if you Bava in viking mood. 2/5

Tarzan and the Valley of Gold (1966)

Jungle adventure (sort of). USA/Switzerland/Mexico. Starring Mike Henry, David Opatoshu, Nancy Kovack & Manuel Padilla Jr. Directed by Robert Day.

Silver Video Productions (Greece). English language. Letterboxed. Very battered print with lots of jumps and scratches.

The kind of movie that would make Tarzan nostalgics go crazy, this trashy flick has Tarzan entering civlization as a James Bond-type hero, he even uses firearms! You can say a lot of things about this film but it's not boring... 3/5
