The Barbarians (1987)

Fantasy. Italy/USA. Starring Peter Paul, David Paul, Richard Lynch, Eva La Rue & Michael Berryman. Directed by Ruggero Deodato.

DVD: Stormovie (Italy). English or italian language. Widescreen. A very dissapointing DVD release, looks like it was sourced from VHS. Well, at least we can finally see it in full widescreen...

Without the darling bodybuilder twins Peter and David Paul (the barbarian brothers!) this movie would have been pure shit, but since they're in most scenes and steals all of them, I really like it! Still, hardly one of Deodato's most inspired moments as a director. 3/5

Jane and the Lost City (1987)

Adventure. UK/USA. Starring Kirsten Hughes, Sam J. Jones, Maud Adams & Jasper Carrott. Directed by Terry Marcel.

DVD: Anchor Bay (USA). English language. Widescreen. Nice quality.

Iron Warrior (1987)

Fantasy. Italy. Starring Miles O'Keeffe, Savina Gersak & Jon Rosser. Directed by Alfonso Brescia.

Orion (Greece). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

This "Al Bradley"-signed unofficial third entry in the Ator series is silly but immensely fun! Complete with that artsy/kitschy late 80s aestethic we all love. 4/5
