The 26 Greatest Sword & Sandal Adventures posted here has many of his movies on the list. I'm anxious to check out his pirate movie, THE LION OF ST. MARK (1963).venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-10061444882443860112010-02-15T05:41:59.189-08:002010-02-15T05:41:59.189-08:00Watched this fot the first time yesterday and it&#...Watched this fot the first time yesterday and it's already an instant favourite of mine from this genre.I love the fusion of horror elements with the village menfolk being turned into waxworks by the superbly creepy Kobrak monster who also drains the women of their blood.I fondly remember Gordon Scott from the Tarzan films and for me he is the best and most charismatic hero i've seen in these films so far.Despite the poor quality of the Wildeast print it's still a visual delight with expensive looking colourful sets.The action scenes are very impressive and the scenes Brian mentioned are all memorable.<br /><br />A very highly recommended 9 out of 10.Sean Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695535929871620460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-86254415455031743772009-01-03T16:32:00.000-08:002009-01-03T16:32:00.000-08:00It is a great, fun movie, Elliot.

I can only imagine how terrible your VHS copy must have looked considering the WE version isn't exactly sparkling with color, lol. At least it's better than nothing at all. <BR/><BR/>IMO, Gordon Scott is quite possibly the best actor in the peplum/fusto movies.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-54499716656356054052009-01-03T15:39:00.000-08:002009-01-03T15:39:00.000-08:00Goliath & The Vampires is my all time fav pepl...Goliath & The Vampires is my all time fav peplum. The imagination of art directors is fantastic. I bought the Wild East DVD, finally replacing the terrible VHS copy I taped off TV years ago.Elliot Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964519903027517480noreply@blogger.com
