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

Bizarre peplum in which dull beefcake actor Dan Vadis defends the people against a witch and some gold-painted musclemen. It may not be "good" but at least it's fun! 3/5
