Actors: Rod Taylor, Ed Fury, Dorian
Gray, Daniela Rocca, Gianna Maria Canale
Rating: 1 out of 10, The latest in my
journey through 100 bad sci fi films was a very silly sand and sandal comedy.
At least I think that’s what they were going for, maybe it was unintentional. I
was surprised to see Rod Taylor in this Italian dubbed Hercules type flick and
he acted circles around everyone and seemed to be poking fun at himself
throughout. He and his Hercules buddy are kidnapped and dumped off on the
Amazons’ island where all gender roles are reversed. The typically well-endowed
Italian actresses playing the amazons only need the virile men for one night of
fun before sentencing them to the salt mines. The regular house duties are
taken up by obviously and very over the top, gay men. It all seemed very weird for
an early 1960s movie – someone had a lot of sneaky fun putting this together.
MVP: Dorian Gray as Antiope, the most
Italian of the endowment
