- TriviaAs was often the case with films of this kind, star Brad Harris did his own stunts and was dubbed by a different actor in post-production.
- GoofsWhen Menistus explains how he assures that a certain man will not reveal his secret plan, he has an arch open, and in it the said man lies dead, a sword through his stomach, and the eyes open. Just when the aids are closing the arch cover down, the dead man blinks.

Featured review
Routine and Predictable
This movie begins with "Hercules" (Brad Harris) riding in a chariot and suddenly being ambushed by a group of men. Upon defending himself the leader recognizes that it is Hercules that they are attacking and yells for his men to withdraw. Hercules then proceeds to his destination which is the city of Arpad to pay his respects to the king. However, when he gets there he is informed that the king and all of the other counselors he knew previously have all died. The new ruler is the king's daughter "Cnidia" (Mara Berni) who he knew when she was a child and who quickly falls in love with him when they meet again. Unfortunately, although she believes that she is in control of the city the fact of the matter is that her lead adviser "Menistus" (Sergi Gainsbourg) is actually calling the shots and nothing happens without his consent. That said the one thing he doesn't want is somebody like Hercules appearing out of nowhere and disturbing the status quo. Now rather than reveal any more of the movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that the entire movie seemed to be both routine and predictable which caused it seem rather dull. Likewise, the dialogue-which was initially in Italian and dubbed into English-seemed extremely basic which didn't necessarily help in that regard. Although it might appeal to die-hard "Sword and Sandal" fans I personally found it to be somewhat boring and therefore rate it as below average.
