A version of ancient Egypt is the setting for this sword-and-sandal flick, originally titled Il trionfo di Maciste. This time around, the hero, Maciste (Kirk Morris) tackles the forces of an evil queen (Ljubica Otasevic), who has usurped the throne of Thebes, but himself falls prey to the queen’s sorcerous power. There’s the expected test of strength, as well as a lengthy battle in a Mountain of Thunder against those who would sacrifice a captive to the fire god. Worth a look.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 428 for 2021.
