HERCULES AND THE TYRANTS OF BABYLON 1964 (MILL CREEK)

Peter Lupus stars as Hercules in this fun film.

Lupus used the name "Rock Stevens" for this peplum. In this tale Hercules swings a mighty but stick as he knocks soldiers off of their horses with ease.

Our hero finds himself fighting an evil ruler of Babylon and an evil but very sexy queen played by the gorgeous Helga Line. Helga is one of the main reasons for watching this film. Every scene she is in makes it all worthwhile.

This is a fast paced film and one that will hold your attention, and Lupus does a very good job in the title role. He starred in four sword and sandal films in his career before hitting it big with Mission Impossible.

The print from Mill Creek is ok but the usual TV pan and scan version. Recommended for sword and sandal fans.
