Wolfshead: The Legend of Robin Hood (1973)

Robin Hood adventure. UK. Starring David Warbeck, Kenneth Gilbert, Ciaran Madden & Sheraton Blount. Directed by John Hough.

S.T.V.P Video (Denmark). English language. Fullscreen.

This is the obscure pilot episode of a Hammer produced Robin Hood TV-series that never happened. It unsuccesfully tried to add a bit more realism to the formula. Pretty dire stuff, mostly of interest because a young David Warbeck played Robin (it's not hom on the cover though). 2/5

Herod the Great (1959)

Original title: Erode Il Grande

Historical. Italy/France. Starring Edmund Purdom, Sylvia Lopez, Massimo Girotti, Sandra Milo, Ettore Manni, Alberto Lupo & Sylva Koscina. Directed by Viktor Tourjansky.

Video King APS (Denmark). English dubbed. Widescreen.

This historical spectacle is noteworthy for the excellent performance by Purdom as the paranoid and half-mad king Herod. The dramatic ending have an almost Bava-esque gothic horror feel. Above average stuff by a director who've been around since the silent days. Appears to have had pretty high budget for an italian production. This 30 year old danish VHS looks like a blu-ray compared to pan-and-scanned, piss quality UK DVD I had earlier. 3/5

Esther and the King (1960)

Biblical/Historical. Italy/USA. Starring Joan Collins, Richard Egan, Denis O'Dea, Rik Battaglia, Gabriele Tinti, Rosalba Neri & Daniela Rocca. Directed by Raoul Walsh & Mario Bava.

Original title: Il Figlio di Zorro

Zorro adventure. Italy/Spain. Starring Robert Widmark, William Berger, Fernando Sancho & Elisa Ramírez. Directed by Gianfranco Baldanello.

Very entertaining Zorro flick, one of the best of the genre! 4/5

Battle of the Amazons (1973)

Original title: Le Amazzoni - Donne D'amore e di Guerra

Amazon adventure. Italy/Spain. Starring Lincoln Tate, Robert Widmark & Lucretia Love. Directed by Alfonso Brescia.

Metronome Video (Denmark). English dubbed. Widescreen.

Silly, but enjoyable amazon flick with sex on horseback and some mild whipping scenes. Another cheezy "Al Bradley" hit! 3/5

Original title: Zambo, il Dominatore della Foresta

Jungle adventure. Italy. Starring Brad Harris, Gisela Hahn, Daniele Vargas & Daniele Vargas. Directed by Bitto Albertini.

Very nice jungle adventure! 4/5

Here's the swedish video cover from Crown Video (don't know any collector who has the actual cassette):

The Invincible Gladiator (1962)

Original title: Il Gladiatore Invincibile

Peplum. Spain/Italy. Starring Richard Harrison & Luisella Boni. Directed by Alberto De Martino & Antonio Momplet

Club 4/Videoklubben (Denmark). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

A pretty bland gladiator film starring Richard Harison, not much to add... 2/5

Ursus in the Valley of the Lions (1961)

Original title: Ursus nella Valle dei Leoni

Peplum. Italy. Starring Ed Fury, Moira Orfei & Alberto Lupo. Directed by Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia.

Breien Video (Denmark). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Fun Ursus flick which might have inspired the legendary turkish trash-fest Lionman. 3/5

The Fury of Achilles (1962)

Original title: L'ira di Achille

Peplum. Italy. Starring Gordon Mitchell, Pierro Lulli, Mario Petri, Gloria Milland & Cristina Gaioni. Directed by Marino Girolami.

DVS (Denmark). English dubbed. Widescreen.

One of my alltime favorite peplas! Gordon Mitchell is always reliable but I have never seen him better than here, as the tormented warrior Achilles. A must-see! 5/5
