(1963) Maciste, the World's Greatest Hero/ Maciste, l'eroe più grande del mondo/ Goliath And the Sins of Babylon DUBBED MYTHICAL HISTORICAL FICTION

Saw this movie as the alternative title "Goliath And the Sins of Babylon" that has Mark Forest as Goliath joining rebels against a tyrant king King Rukus (Paul Muller) and his right hand man Morakeg (Erno Crisa) kidnapping young women (supposedly virgins) to be used as pawns.

I don't quite remember why I liked this movie for it has been awhile since I last saw this. All I know is that it was better than the average Italian/ Spanish co production sword and sandals movie. It was on one of those cheapo sword and sandals DVD sets cramming so many movies onto a single disc with no bonus features.

Trivia
Although the American International Pictures end title gives sole music credit to staff composer Les Baxter, he actually scored just a few scenes (opening narration, love scene, etc) that AIP felt needed re-scoring. The bulk of the score, including the main and end titles, retained the original tracks by Francesco De Masi. This was proven when CAM released the original De Masi score on CD (CSE 111) in 1993. Most of the tracks therein found their way into the AIP release.

Quotes
Morakeb: [supervising the torture of Goliath] I know of only one thing worse than physical pain, and that's waiting to be killed. Yes, he might suffer badly waiting for the mortal blow, or he might be lucky and receive it from the first spear.
