Top Gap. The bouncing Maciste helps the youngster Kenamun and reunites an army of rebels to take on the Smedes troops. Our protagonist unhesitatingly goes into action and must use his strength to save the successor from villain Smedes and against the pharaoh's former counselor.

Then Maciste becomes inextricably involved in a war between usurpers under the command the Egyptian troops against an army of helpless rebels. Along the way Maciste or Hercules or Goliath frees slaves , moves rocks and fights a lion and Crocs.

This is a good spaghetti , myth-opera with action , love , battles and luxurious landscapes. The movie has not mythological accuracy neither expecting historical. Breathtaking scenes when is elevated an Egyptian column and overwhelming final battle with surprisingly gory scenes. In the picture turns up Peplum ordinaries as Vira Silenti , the veteran Carlo Tamberlani and Andrea Fantasia who along with his brother Franco Fantasia worked much as maestros of weapons in this genre.

This spectacular Sword and Sandal movie displays a colorful and glimmer cinematography by Riccardo Pallotini , filmed on location in Egypt including the pyramids and temples of Hatsetsup , Karnak , Luxor , among others.

Atmospheric and evocative musical score by Carlo Innocenzi. The motion picture is well directed by Carlo Campogalliani who made many tales of this kind. He along with Vittorio Cottafavi and Giorgio Ferroni continued to realize films in the historical-spectacular style , at which he developed a considerable skill and mastery. Mark Forest , in his first film, is perfect as the mythical hero who encounters many dangerous situations while trying to save a pharaoh of numerous odds.

Forest who played the mythic Maciste in great number of movies was randomly assigned the identity of Hercules , Goliath , Samson or Aron for U. Bouncing and strong Forest was the second American actor bodybuilder , after Steve Reeves , to be recruited by Italian producers to star in Peplum films.

The muscle-man Forest left allegedly the sword and sandals genre for the Opera. He used the amount of money he made acting as hero and gladiator films in Italy to study Opera , he currently teaches in the Los Angeles zone. Rating : Above average muscle-men fodder and better than most muscles operas-spaghetti,thanks to Mark Forest and by Peplum specialist as is the director Carlo Campogalliani.

Could be a good time to Maciste if the producers adjust some ridiculous scenes along the picture, the screenplay is terrible to start and the storyline is lack of creativity apart all this, the greatest sets ever done weren't enough this time, also my copy from VHS was dubbed to english version became worst the whole thing, l'm a great fan of those semi-gods of greek mitology, I have a lot of these good movies of the Hercules, Sansom, Goliah and Maciste, they are amazing characters who deserves an appropiate good productions to make those magnificents movies, further Chelo alonso overcame all this mess and share us your glorious beauty!!!

Italian titles translate into English as "Maciste in the Valley of the Kings" and it's aka "Maciste the Mighty" It's a film that barely kept me interested in it at times, other times was looking up more information on the internet about the film which was more interesting than the film itself. Maciste who despite him being a Hebrew one of their mortal enemies the grateful Egyptians will take any kind of help they can get to have themselves freed from the evil Persian installed Queen Smedes, Chelo Alonso.

This, freeing the Egyptians, was at first no concern of his but with Maciste by falling in love with the beautiful Egyptian slave girl Nofret, Federica Ranchi, he now decided to become a biblical Abraham Linclon and free the slaves Maciste-style by beating the crap of their enslavers. Using his super strength and military expertise Maciste starts up a slave rebellion that almost fizzles out when he falls under the spell of Queen Smedes and goes soft in both the head and muscle. Finally getting down to business in realizing what his job is Maciste gets his act together and starts up a major uprising not just among the slaves but entire Egyptian people against the hated Persians.

Maciste with his job done now goes into the desert to get some well needed rest as well as sleep from all the action he went through in the movie. Squonkamatic 17 November Good gracious, what a movie. Been watching my Peplums again after a need to better understand the character of Hercules came up. Here he comes upon another Peplum Egyptian Pharaonic era royal court beset by all sorts of fascinating evils furthered by the attention-riveting Chelo Alonso, perfectly as the intelligent yet bloodthirsty slave girl come to be Queen of an Empire.

Humans torched alive on top of elaborate towers is a favored method of dispatching the unworthy, but our favorite will always be the Crocodile Pool into which assorted cast members are tossed to suffer hideously as they are devoured alive. And you know, something tells me we're missing a proper introduction to the plot device, as a key character is dispatched fairly early into proceedings, later appearing in a manner in which their identity cannot be confirmed and is supposed to be of bother to the story.

Because, I suspect, he was devoured whole by crocodiles in a scene removed from the surviving print, which only mentions the Crocodile Pool towards the end of the proceedings. This totally defies how Pepla are usually structured and in a manner which can only be the result of external meddling. Much like a James Bond film the best Peplum thrillers establish an elaborately horrifying execution or torture device for its crazed villain's inept underlings fairly early on.

The threat of ending up thrown into its workings then hangs over the rest of the plot, indeed driving its plot once the Hero has come into the story. And sure enough Mark Forrest's very capable Maciste is indeed thrown bodily into the Crocodile Pool at what would have been exactly the right moment — If we had known about the Crocodile Pool previously.

Since we do not my suspicions were raised upon a 2nd viewing when going back to make sure the movie really was as cool as I'd thought it was. And "Son of Samson" is, just off-balanced by not having the Crocodile Pool established in the mind's eye of the viewer prior to Maciste being tossed into it. And a 3rd viewing established the likely place where our introduction to its horrors should have been cemented.

The good news is that even after three viewings the film remains of fascination and deserves a restoration. Alonso is nothing shy of a revelation and her final doom is perhaps the most disturbing moment in Peplum history since Kirk Douglas had his run-in with the Lepers. I'll even forgive the movie for not having a rampaging monster for a big showdown match. Trust me: Maciste has his hands full in this one just contending with all the evil scheming afoot.

Most peplums with a Yugoslavian partner in the international co-production tend to have interesting location photography and a different visual style, and this one is no exception. The setting is the 11th century BC Egypt, where the nation is controlled by Persian occupiers who have enslaved the people. A well-intentioned pharoah who tries to defend the people is killed and his evil, manipulative wife well-played by Chelo Alonso, in the tradition of over-the-top female villains in old Republic serials!

On his return home to straighten things out, the pharoah's son, Kenamun, runs into Mark Forest as Maciste, the Son of Samson and the plot kicks into action.

The plot also includes a mystical necklace that makes the wearer a zombie ready to be ordered around shades of old serials once again! Mark Forest is as handsome as, say, James Darren, his physique is well-used in a number of difficult "tasks", and he is believable in the romantic scenes as well as the fights.

I've seen 11 of his 12 s films and enjoy all of them. Interesting visuals, a unique setting, a fine female antagonist, Mark Forest's exciting presence--definitely an above-average sword-and-sandal opus for fans of the genre.

Check some of them out. A copy of this film was shown at UCLA recently at a peplum festival-- if there's a copy good enough quality to be screened there, it needs to be transferred to DVD now! One of many imported muscleman epics from the sixties, but with the extraordinary participation of the delicious Chelo Alonso. TheVid 12 March Mark Forest bodybuilder Lou Degni provides the beef in this relatively lavish Egyptian-style muscleman movie, whose production design is quite good for a low-budget, Italian potboiler.
