They have uncovered an underground pyramid, and just as they find the entrance, the expedition is told to leave, but before they do, they send a robot camera down to see what is inside, then follow the camera down when something wrecks it...
Mildly shocking entertainment, featuring characters that you just don't care about.

crooks tour (1940)

aka Night Train To Munich.
"All night in the desert. No bed, no bath."
Charters and Caldicott (Basil Radford & Naunton Wayne) return and inadvertantly get involved in a spy plot to prevent oil being sent to the British war effort by Saudi Arabia.
Mildly amusing spin-off characters from The Lady Vanishes.

war gods of babylon (1962)

aka Le sette folgori di Assur. 7th Thunderbolt.
"...you can belong to no one else, not even a God."
Mirra (Jocelyn Lane), has her village destroyed by the Asyrians, killing everyone but her. She is saved when a travelling holyman takes her to the capital. There she catches the eye of Shammash (Luciano Marin), the king's brother, who brings her to live in the palace. Unfortunately King Sardanapalo (Howard Duff), also takes a shine to her, and so the bickering begins.
To say that there are better epics, is not saying a lot.

hercules and the black pirates (1964)

aka Sansone contro il corsaro nero. Hercules vs Black Pirate.
"Good for you Hercules."
Hercules (Sergio Ciani) is engaged in ridding the seas of pirates, but unknown to all, Rodrigo Sanchez (Piero Lulli) is in league with the wicked Black Pirate (Andrea Aureli) and does all he can to frame Hercules.
The long lived Hercules tips up in the 18th C and leads a rip-roaring romp.

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!!!

The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)

aka Perché quelle strane gocce di sangue sul corpo di Jennifer? Erotic Blue.
"Don't be afraid."
Jennifer (Edwige Fenech), and Marilyn (Paola Quattrini) move into the flat of a recently murdered girl. Jennifer has recently fled a sex cult, and her husband Adam (Ben Carra), but she soon starts being stalked by the murderer herself.
Styalised crime drama. full of red herrings, and bizarre sub-plots, but just about pulls it off.

the church (1989)

aka La chiesa
"A stone with seven eyes." A gothic church is built over a mass grave of murdered pagans. Unfortunately a young librarian (Tomas Arana) manages to unleash the demons when he removes a cross that is imprisoning them. Prompting them to possess all in their path, leaving only Father Gus (Hugh Quarshie) left to fight them.
Visually stunning, plot slightly less so.
