THOR AND THE AMAZON WOMEN (1963) Joe Robinson, Suzy Andersen, Harry Baird, Maria Fiore. Thor takes on a bevy of Amazon women who have been enslaving men throughout the countryside (poor guys). A terrific “bad” sword & sandal epic with silly dialogue, poor sound effects, and endless, clumsily staged Amazon gladiator fights. In other words, a brilliantly-made schlockfest. Seriously, though, in spite of its shortcomings, Thor and the Amazon Women really is a great beer and popcorn movie. Beautiful color and print, 16mm.
HERCULES AGAINST THE BARBARIANS (1964) Mark Forest, Ken Clark, Gloria Milland. Forest, as Hercules, saves a girl from the stake; bends jail bars to escape; carries huge logs and rocks; and duels before Mongol nobles. But the best scene is where he battles an alligator. Forest tries to make it look good, but his foe is a big, limp rubber alligator, which rivals Ed Wood’s limp octopus in Bride of the Monster. Still, this is a fun, action-packed epic. Transferred from a beautiful color 16mm print.
