The Falcon (1983)

Original title: Banovic Strahinja

Fantasy (sort of)/Historical (sort of). Yugoslavia/West Germany. Starring Franco Nero, Dragan Nikolic, Sanja Vejnovic, Rade Serbedzija & Gert Fröbe. Directed by Vatroslav Mimica.

Video Communication (Sweden). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Good, but somewhat problematic film based on a medieval serbian folktale. It's very much a child of it's time, riding the wave of serbian nationalism that exploded after Tito's death, and it certainly demonices muslims. We all know how well that ended. It's also very sexist. But Franco Nero is good as always and it's a violent and gritty film with attractive photography and a fairy tale/fantasy touch (even though there's no supernatural stuff going on as far as I remember) that I really enjoyed. Who can say no to that? 3/5

Three Supermen in the Jungle (1970)

Original title: Che Fanno i Nostri Supermen Tra le Vergini della Giungla?

Superhero/Jungle adventure/Comedy. Italy/Spain. Starring Brad Harris, George Martin, Salvatore Borghese & Frank Braña. Directed by Bitto Albertini.

Derann Video (UK). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

This time the three dandy supermen encounters amazons, cannibals and goofy communists in the jungle. A fun spoof comedy, but not in the same class as the best in the series. 3/5

Behind the Mask of Zorro (1965)

Original title: El Zorro Cabalga Otra Vez

Zorro. Spain/Italy. Starring Tony Russel, María José Alfonso, Jesús Puente & Ángela Rhu. Directed by Ricardo Blasco.

PM Video Galaxy (Greece). English dubbed. Letterboxed (slightly).

Naive and shoddy spanish Zorro flick. One for the completist. 2/5

Zambo (1972)

Original title: Zambo, il Dominatore della Foresta

Jungle adventure. Italy. Starring Brad Harris, Gisela Hahn, Daniele Vargas & Daniele Vargas. Directed by Bitto Albertini.

VCI (Greece). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

Very nice jungle adventure! 4/5

Warlords of Atlantis (1978)

Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Adventure. UK. Starring Doug McClure, Peter Gilmore, Cyd Charisse, Shane Rimmer & John Ratzenberger. Directed by Kevin Connor.

Thorn-Emi (UK). English language. Fullscreen.

Entertaining brittish fantasy flick. 3/5

Hot Nights of Caligula (1977)

Original title: Le Calde Notti di Caligola

Sex comedy/Peplum. Italy. Starring Carlo Colombo, Gastone Pescucci & Patrizia Webley. Directed by Roberto Bianchi Montero.

United Films (Finland). English dubbed. Letterboxed.

This silly sex comedy is a Caligula-ripp off in name only. The shrewd producers quickly changed the title when Tinto Brass' infamous (and very bad IMO) movie first started making trouble. As for the movie, I barely made it past the first 20 minutes, so don't expect any masterpieces here (as if!).

When Women Played Ding Dong (1971)

Original title: Quando gli Uomini Armarono la Clava e... Con le Donne Fecero Din-Don

Sex comedy/Fantasy. Italy. Starring Antonio Sabato, Gisela Hahn, Nadia Cassini, Howard Ross, Lucretia Love & Aldo Giuffrè. Directed by Bruno Corbucci (who else?).

Miracle Video (Holland). English dubbed. Fullscreen.

This downright retarded stoneage slapstick sex comedy is like When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth on horse tranquilizers. Proceed with extreme caution! The stoneage rock band and Antonio Sabata's Iron Maiden-wig has got to be seen though... 1/5
