Giants of Rome

Actors: Richard Harrison, Wandisa Guida, Rulph Hudson, Ettore Manni, Goffredo Unger, Philippe Hersent, Alberto Dell'Acqua
Rating: 3 out of 10, The next in my trek through bad cinema was actually not that bad, no giants though. It was probably the best film out of the trash I’ve forced myself to watch during this effort. There was actually some acting, a bit of a plot, a Sophia Loren knockoff, and some entertaining action. They even got some of the history right as we join Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars just before the siege of Alesia. He sends out a team of his best warriors to find the secret Gallic weapon. Along the way they acquire the Sophia lookalike and for a knockoff she was every bit a knockout as the original. Against all odds, I actually enjoyed this one and not just for the schlock quotient.
MVP: Richard Harrison as Claudius Marcellus
