hercules against the barbarians (1964)

aka Maciste nell'inferno di Gengis Khan.
"That's what you wanted wasn't it!"
In the 12th century Kubilai (Ken Clark) is defeated trying to take Cracow, by an army led by Hercules (Mark Forest). So Kubukai hatches a plan to find and kidnap the heir to the throne, Armina (José Greci). Can Hercules save her and defeats Khan again?
At this point in the franchise, anything can happen, so why not have Hercules battling the Mongols in Poland, and why not throw in some crocodiles for good measure!!!

operation atlantis (1965)

aka Agente S 03: Operazione Atlantide.
"You are the only man who can save us."
George Steele (John Ericson) is en route to Japan for a well earned holiday, but as an American agent, his lot is not a happy one, and he is diverted and given a mission to uncover a city full of Uranium.
Mildly diverting spy flick, with the usual mix of dames, booze and espionage, but with added sci-fi elements.

hercules and the tyrants of babylon (1964)

aka Ercole contro i tiranni di Babilonia.
"Employing an army to destroy one man? I've never heard anything so foolish."
Hercules takes on the three tyrants ruling Babylonia, to free their slaves and the captured Queen of the Helenes, Asparia. There follows much political intrigue and some throwing of rocks!
A run of the mill peplum with Rock Stevens (Peter Lupus) in the role of Hercules. Unfortunately he has none of the charisma of Steve Reeves or Mark Forest, but Helga Line and Anna Maria Polani make up for such dificiencies as eye candy. By no means an essential watch unless you are a peplum completist.
