Steve Reeves, muscoli mitologici: i segreti di Ercole - Boomerissimo

Molti muscoli, niente forza e scarsa abilità recitativa. Il mix perfetto per il cinema peplum

⚔️ I was Today-Years_old when I learned that Sword-and-sandal,aka, #peplum (pl.: pepla), is a subgenre of largely #Italian-made #historical, #mythological, or #biblical epics mostly set in the Greco-Roman antiquity or the Middle Ages.

Sergio Corbucci's The Slave is a 1962 peplum with a Roman Empire setting. It's about the son of Spartacus. The Romans are definitely the bad guys. Steve Reeves makes a fine hero. Visually impressive and entertaining despite the flawed ending.

A ★★★½ review of Hercules Unchained (1959)

Follow up to 1958's HERCULES (listed of Letterboxd as LABORS OF HERCULES) is a better film than it's predecessor but still full of cheesy goodness. The honeymooning Hercules (Steve Reeves) gets stuck in a civil war between two scheming brothers, winds up with amnesia, is seduced by an evil queen (Sylvia Lopez), and fights what seems to be an endless bunch of tigers. Features a fight between Reeves and past his prime boxing and wrestling legend Primo Carnera.

A ★★★ review of Hercules (1958)

The film that really led the way for the 1960s peplum craze. Steve Reeves is the definitive, never equaled Hercules. The story deals with the Labors of Hercules and the quest for the Golden Fleece. Cheesy fun. Just don't compare it with the far superior JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS.
