This is one of the most violent, cruel Italian films ever made during the sword and sandal era. To compare this disaster to "Hercules" is just plain stupid. I can't see any 11 year old kid enjoying this trash unless he has a personality disorder. The brutal murder of innocent women and children during the battle scenes is disturbing and completely unnecessary. And how many times has someone's father been killed and the daring hero goes seeking revenge? This film should have never been picked up by American International for American distribution. In fact, it should never have been distributed at all. There are many well made sword and sandal films available. Just avoid this one.
