Fall of Rome (1963)



Original title: Il Crollo di Roma

Peplum. Italy. Starring Carl Möhner, Ida Galli, Andrea Aureli, Loredana Nusciak, Nando Tamberlani & Jim Dolen. Directed by Antonio Margheriti.

DVD: Odeon (Greece). English dubbed. Widescreen. Good quality.

Reasonable entertaining "meet and potatoes" peplum that gets the job without overachieving. Margheriti of course can't help to bring his modelkit along, and thank God for that! 3/5

Ark of the Sun God (1983)



Original title: I Sopravvissuti della Città Morta

Indiana Jones-ripp off. Italy/Turkey. Starring David Warbeck, John Steiner, Susie Sudlow & Alan Collins. Directed by Antonio Margheriti.

DVD: Pulp Video (Italy). English language options. Widescreen. Pretty good quality.

This Indiana Jones-copy is pretty slow and a little bit bit boring, but picks up considerable during the last half hour. Warbeck does his usual poor-mans-Bond thing. 2/5

Yor, the Hunter from the Future (1983)



Original title: Il Mondo di Yor

Fantasy/Sci-fi. Italy/Turkey. Starring Reb Brown, Corinne Clery, Luciano Pigozzi, Carole André & John Steiner. Directed by Antonio Margheriti.

Vestron Video (Sweden). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Wonderful slice of hokum that starts off as a stoneage fantasy flick and turns into a Star Wars/Mad Max-copy in the last 30 minutes. I love, love, LOVE Yor! It was shot in Turkey and was originally released as a TV mini-series in Italy and edited down to feature lenght for the international video release. I also have a DVD-R of the TV-series (in italian with no subs). 4/5
