This movie’s fine for a sword-and-sandal — the climax is pretty epic for the budget, so I’m guessing a ton of unpaid Italian boys are falling off the horses and whatnot

Sylvia Lopez gives a wild performance — it’s sad that she died of leukemia the same year this came out
I love that Letterboxd gives Sophocles and Aeschylus writing credits
