Ex-Tarzan Gordon Scott plays Goliath, not Hercules (though the film was part of the Sons of Hercules TV package). Ancient Babylonian emperor Balthasar, who was the "good guy" in D.W. Griffith's Intolerance, is here described as the Tyrant of Babylon. He lives up to his title by sacrificing selected citizens of Assyria to the goddess Istar. Scott, the rightful heir to Babylonian throne, is consigned to a life of slavery, but by film's end he does a "Spartacus" and saves everybody. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The three sibling rulers of Babylon search for the queen of the Hellenes, who's disguised among the city's slaves, but will Hercules find her first and usher her to safety? The plot of this sword-and-sandal cheapie, with its ancient political intrigues and backstabbing factions, is more ambitious and has more potential than usual, but the movie is undone by action/battle scenes that are subpar even by Italian peplum standards. "Rock Stevens" isn't fit to wield Herc's plastic club.

As Far as the Hercules Movies go this is one of the Better Ones. Peter Lupus should have been able to do more Herc Movies as he had the build. This movie was filmed in Italy. Its a Okay sword & sandal epic. Filmed in 1964. I found this ine the Mill Creek 50 Pack Warriors, I beleive its in more then one of the Mill Creek 50 Packs. Thats the only way I would add it to my collection. You may also find it from Alpha Video.
