Goliath and the Dragon (1960) + Conqueror of Atlantis (1965)



Original title: La Vendetta di Ercole

Peplum. Italy/France. Starring Mark Forest, Wandisa Guida, Gaby André & Broderick Crawford. Directed by Vittorio Cottafavi.

DVD: Something Weird (USA). English dubbed. Widescreen. Nice quality. Edited US version. This DVD also includes Alfonso Brescia's highly entertaining 1965 peplum Conqueror of Atlantis in which Kirk Morris romances a princess and fights a mad sorcerer, robot-men and a bunch of arabs! Conqueror is presented in a watchable fullscreen print. (4/5)

Good, clean Cottafavi fun with Mark Forest! 4/5

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

Amazons and Supermen (1975)



Original title: Superuomini, Superdonne, Superbotte

Adventure/Amazons/Comedy. Italy/Hong Kong/Mexico. Starring Malisa Longo, Nick Jordan & Hua Yueh. Directed by Alfonso Brescia.

Videotower (Finland). English dubbed. Widescreen.

Against all odds this silly amazon/masked hero/slapstick Italian-Hong Kong co-production by schlock-mesister Alfonso "Al Bradley" Brescia came out as a ton of fun! It's exentric and all over there, but not badly made. Way superior to Brescia's earlier fur-bikini opus Battle of the Amazons. In fact, it gets my vote for the most shamefully entertaining slice of amazon mayhem ever made! 4/5

The Magnificent Gladiator (1964)



Original title: Il Magnifico Gladiatore

Peplum. Starring Mark Forest & Marilù Tolo. Directed by Alfonso Brescia.

Delta Video (Holland). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Another one of those not worthless, but unremarkable peplas you have to sit through to discover the hidden jewels. But look at the homoerotic cover art! Amazing! 2/5

Adventure/Amazons/Comedy. Italy/Hong Kong/Mexico. Starring Malisa Longo, Nick Jordan & Hua Yueh. Directed by Alfonso Brescia.

DVD: Cinefil/Gaga (Japan). English dubbed. Widescreen (16:9). Very nice quality for such an obscure film, blows all the other DVD:s away!
