Brennus, Enemy of Rome (1963)

Original title: Brenno il Nemico di Roma

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

They Were Called Three Musketeers But They Were Four (1973)

Original title: Li Chiamavano i Tre Moschettieri... Invece Erano Quattro

Sowrd/Comedy. Italy. Starring Tony Kendall, Ettore Manni, Stan Cooper &
Seyna Seyn. Directed by Silvio Amadio.

Videoklubben (Sweden). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

From the director of the great gialli Amuck and Smile Before Death comes this bizzarre costume slapstick with nudity, toilet humor, swashbuckling and even some (bad) kung fu! I know i've expressed praise for such daft adventure/slapstick atrocities such as Ricci's Robin Hood, Arrows, Beans and Karate, but this is where I draw the line. 2/5

The Masked Man Against the Pirates (1964)

Original title: L'uomo Mascherato contro i Pirati

Pirate yarn. Italy. Starring George Hilton & Tony Kendall. Directed by Vertunnio De Angelis.

Cartoon Video (Sweden). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

A pretty cheap and shoddy pirate film. Future giallo stalwart George Hilton has an early role as the masked hero. 2/5
