(1961) Ed Fury, Luciana Gilli, Adriano Micantoni, Claudia Mori, Nando Tamberlani. An evil general murders his king, then wages war on a peaceful neighboring tribe, killing the women and enslaving the men. Ursus attempts to intercede but is captured and put under the lash. He also faces five giants; is caught in an earthquake; lives through his cruel imprisonment; then ends up in a stunning battle to rescue a king's princess. The big tournament scene is perhaps the best sequence in the film. Probably Fury’s finest film. Aka Son of Hercules in the Land of Fire. Great color, from 35mm.
