Zorro, the Navarra Marquis (1969)

Original title: Zorro Marchese di Navarra

Zorro adventure. Italy. Starring Nino Vingelli, Malisa Longo, Dada Gallotti, Daniele Vargas & Nadir Moretti. Directed by Franco Montemurro.

Video Screen (Holland). BETA. Italian language with dutch subtitles. Letterboxed.

Pretty dull, at least if you don't understand the language. Zorro's alter ego is a gay barberer in this one. 2/5

The Amazons (1973)

Amazons/Peplum. Italy. Starring Alena Johnston, Malisa Longo, Rosanna Yanni & Helga Liné. Directed by Terence Young.

DVD: Cinefilm Imagico (Japan). English dubbed. Widescreen. Excellent quality! (108 min version)

Lovely pulp amazon-peplum with cheezy dialouge, nude wrestling, dominant women etc... one for the guys. 4/5

Thor the Conqueror (1983)

Original title: Thor il Conquistatore

Fantasy. Italy. Starring Conrad Nichols, Malisa Longo, Maria Romano, Raf Baldassarre & Christopher Holm. Directed by Tonino Ricci.

VTC (Sweden). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

The dumbest, cheapest, crappiest, most moronic sword and sorcery flick imaginable. It's not without a certain Grade Z appeal though. Who could resist lines like "the woman is weak, Thor - take her!" (it's one of the most unashamedly sexist - even pro-rape- films in history and all the funnier for it) or "centuries from now this will be called a Horse". This swedish video release states that "Leading man Conrad Nichols has a disarming charm behind his muscles" on the cover, possibly the biggest lie in video cover history. While one of the worst films on this blog, Thor is not without its entertainment value and should be watched at least once. 2/5

The Invincible Barbarian (1982)

Original title: Gunan il Guerriero

Fantasy. Italy. Starring Peter McCoy, Malisa Longo & Sabrina Siani. Directed by Franco Prosperi.

Magnum Video (Finland). English dubbed. Widescreen.

Crappy and extremely low budget sword and sorcery nonsense. This film is noteworthy for being shot almost completely in slow motion (for budgetary reasons no doubt)! This finnish video seems to have this film mixed up with Brescia's Amazons and Supermen a.k.a Barbarian Women. 2/5

The Invincible Barbarian (1982)

Key Video (Greece). English dubbed. Fullscreen. This tape is no longer in my collection.

Amazons and Supermen (1975)

Original title: Superuomini, Superdonne, Superbotte

Adventure/Amazons/Comedy. Italy/Hong Kong/Mexico. Starring Malisa Longo, Nick Jordan & Hua Yueh. Directed by Alfonso Brescia.

Videotower (Finland). English dubbed. Widescreen.

Against all odds this silly amazon/masked hero/slapstick Italian-Hong Kong co-production by schlock-mesister Alfonso "Al Bradley" Brescia came out as a ton of fun! It's exentric and all over there, but not badly made. Way superior to Brescia's earlier fur-bikini opus Battle of the Amazons. In fact, it gets my vote for the most shamefully entertaining slice of amazon mayhem ever made! 4/5

The Amazons (1973)

Original title: Le Guerriere dal Seno Nudo

Amazons/Peplum. Starring Alena Johnston, Malisa Longo, Rosanna Yanni & Helga Liné. Directed by Terence Young.

Pony Video (Japan). English dubbed. Fullscreen. This is the original 108 minute version, unlike the crap Retromedia DVD which was cut by over half an hour!

Lovely pulp amazon-peplum with cheezy dialouge, nude wrestling, dominant women etc... one for the guys. Cover couldn't be removed from its weird, striped box, hence the funky-looking scan. 4/5

Amazons and Supermen (1975)

Original title: Superuomini, Superdonne, Superbotte

Adventure/Amazons/Comedy. Italy/Hong Kong/Mexico. Starring Malisa Longo, Nick Jordan & Hua Yueh. Directed by Alfonso Brescia.

DVD: Cinefil/Gaga (Japan). English dubbed. Widescreen (16:9). Very nice quality for such an obscure film, blows all the other DVD:s away!
