Erik the Viking (1965)

Original title: Erik, Il Vichingo

Peplum/Vikings. Italy. Starring Giuliano Gemma, Gordon Mitchell, Eleonora Bianchi, Eduardo Fajardo & Carla Calò. Directed by Mario Caiano.

Parade (Italy). Italian language. Fullscreen.

This is what happened when the vikings first discovered America according to the folks at Cinecittà. Their guess is as good as anybody's I guess... If you can accept Gemma as a viking chieftain (I have no objections!) this is a fun, minor viking peplum. Gordon Mitchell clearly enjoys himself in another villanois role. One of few italian viking films NOT to star Cameron Mitchell. 3/5

Peplum. Italy. Starring Gordon Mitchell, Massimo Serato, Tony Kendall ,Ursula Davis, Carla Calò & Andrea Aureli. Directed by Giacomo Gentilomo.

Venus Video (Greece). English dubbed. Widescreen. Nice print!

Wonderful peplum that really showcases Gordon Mitchell strenghts in roles like "ruthless warrior chief"! Very well made, very entertaining... and surprisingly violent and dark in tone for a sword and sandal flick (even the kid hero dies!). One of my personal favorites, highly recommended! 4/5

Somebody here obviously liked the 1930s Flash Gordon serials when they were kids... A wonderful sci-fi peplum! Deserves a much better release than this crap DVD. 4/5

Peplum/Historical. Italy/France. Starring John Drew Barrymore, Geneviève Grad, Gianna Maria Canale, Gordon Mitchell & Jacques Sernas. Directed by Mario Costa.

Original title: Vulcano, Figlio di Giove

Peplum. Italy. Starring Rod Flash, Gordon Mitchell, Bella Cortez & Roger Browne . Directed by Emimmo Salvi.

Eagle 6 (Holland). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

Not a good film by a stretch, but it has enough fantastic ingredients, gods and monsters too be entertaining. Rod Flash gives one of the worst performances in the history of beefcake actors, which is something of an achievement. What can I say, i'm a sucker for fantasy in peplums... 3/5

Original title: L'ira di Achille

Peplum. Italy. Starring Gordon Mitchell, Pierro Lulli, Mario Petri, Gloria Milland & Cristina Gaioni. Directed by Marino Girolami.

One of my alltime favorite peplas! Gordon Mitchell is always reliable but I have never seen him better than here, as the tormented warrior Achilles. A must-see! 5/5
