Also, it was interesting to note the the DP on this Mario Bava.

Few things make me as angry as that show. Trust me, you don’t want me to start on MST3K. Few things make me as angry as that show.

I agreed with ya'll on most of everything. I was bored really until the end and I thought that the battle scenes were impressive and very well done. I thought it was a great pay-off but watching this after Ali Baba and the Seven Saracens this was a bit of a buzz kill, nowhere near as much as Cleopatra's Daughter though. I was surprised that none of you caught ot mentioned Alan Steel in the movie. But then again he went by his real name and not his moniker. Overall I give this one 4 out of 9 hydra heads. I enjoyed your take on the Paganfest. I got to all of them a few days ago when they came here to San Antonio. They were fucking awesome. I have been a fan of Týr for a couple of years now and Ensiferum more recently. I had a blast and if it comes to your town, you have to go. I only wish Finntroll had been there and there are one of the best live acts I have seen in a while. Question for Wintle: Why do you hate mentioning MST3K? I loved that show. What did you not like about it? I just got a chance to listen to the podcast last night. I agreed with ya’ll on most of everything.

Don't listen to him, Haole. We're doing this to keep macho movie aficionados informed. Better to revisit an old favourite than watch Steve Reeves running. Unless you're into that.

This is a bigger budget that most of the other films (as Wintle pointed out) and it's interesting to see the differences (good and bad) a large production may bring to the genre You should see it for research purposes.

It's amazingly well done. If you've just checked that film out, check out their DVD commentary track. I laughed and laughed and laughed.
