Rome Against Rome (1964)

Original title: Roma contro Roma

Peplum. Italy. Starring John Drew Barrymore, Susy Andersen, Ettore Manni, Ida Galli & Philippe Hersent. Directed by Giuseppe Vari.

Jef Films (UK). English dubbed. Fullscreen. OK quality.

Very good peplum with lots of horror overtones. They even throw in an army of zombies! Deserves a better DVD than this (the image is pretty clear and the colors are good but the fullscreen was a downer. Also it's the shortened version. The shitheads at Jef Films strike again...). 4/5

Women Gladiators (1963)

Original title: Le Gladiatrici

Amazons/Peplum. Italy. Susy Andersen, Joe Robinson, Janine Hendy & Harry Baird. Directed by Antonio Leonviola.

Inter-Ocean Video (UK). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

A band of amazons are enslaving the men of the region, but thankfully the dumb hero Tor steps up to show those "redsocks" their right place! The better follow-up to Tor: Mighty Warrior adding more action and amazons to the mix, thus adding a dose of misogynism to the already strong doses of racism (yes, Ubaratutu is back too...). 3/5
