Did you know
- TriviaPeter Lupus (a.k.a. Rock Stevens) shaved his chest for this movie in order to achieve the expected "Hercules" look.
- GoofsAt ~6:00 Hercules, Rock Stevens, lifts two rocks to throw them at the enemy soldiers. Both of them, likely the same rock twice, have an obvious straight parting line seam where the two halves of the hollow "rock" are joined.

Featured review
Saturday matinée
Okay sword & sandal epic. Lupus isn't really that bad; this film portrays the strong man as smarter than usual, which is a plus.
The hero of the film is really the Biblical Samson (the slaves are quite obviously Hebrew, the promised land obvious Isreal). God knows why they bothered to reference Hercules on release - maybe they were afraid of being accused of blasphemy for making a cheap B-movie about the Old Testament hero.
As noted by others, the best scenes in the film are actually borrowed from other films. But the action sequences filmed for this movie itself are pretty much par for the course, but nothing special.
Dull in spots, but not without its occasional flashes of Saturday matinée fun.
