Tragic Hunt
7/10
Set amongst the Italian peasantry of WW2, Caccia Tragica (Tragic Chase) is set in motion when a truck loaded with money targetted for farming projects is stolen by bandits. The local villagers set aside their petty political and personal differences, banding together to capture the outlaws and recover the loot. The story takes a romantic detour by concentrating on the romance between two young people caught in the middle between the pursuers and the pursued. At the time of its release, Caccia Tragica was perceived as a Communist tract (it was produced by the left-leaning National Association of Italian Partisans). This didn't prevent the film from winning an award at the 1947 Venice Film Festival, quite a coup for first-time director Giueseppe De Santis.
Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!
6.3/10
A Mexican outlaw known as "The Stranger" is part of a band of thieves that steal a cargo of gold from a stagecoach. However, the Americans in the band betray him, and shoot all the Mexicans. The Stranger is not completely dead though, and crawls his way out of his shallow grave, continuing his pursuit of the gold, and exacting a bloody vengeance.
Duel of the Titans
5.8/10
Twin brothers were raised by wolves, revolt against tyranny in pre-Roman Italy and then come to a parting of the ways as they lead their people toward the founding of a new city, the founders of Rome.
The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe
5.7/10
A Chinese immigrant, recently arrived in America, fights to free Mexican slaves from their cruel master.
The Conqueror of Atlantis
4.7/10
Curious noises in the Arabian desert signal an attack by bizarre phantom-like raiders of gold who are in search of their Queen. A relocated Hercules (KIRK MORRIS of The Witch's Curse) arrives on the scene and sets off to find a kidnapped Nomad princess. He follows her abductors past the Mountain of the Dead, through the City of the Phantoms, to a mysterious castle which turn out to be Atlantis. As if all this wasn't strange enough, Hercules will encounter gold-painted, blue body stocking-wearing, reanimated dead guys; female guards (who are killed if they taste the love of a man); a dying evil queen and her Ming the Merciless wanna-be sorcerer-scientist; and a torturous climax.
Goliath at the Conquest of Damascus
4.4/10
Goliath may be a villain in the Bible, but he's a good guy so far as the makers of this sword-and-sandal epic are concerned. Played by Rock Stevens (we'll just bet) that's his real name, Goliath comes to the aid of one King Selim. The villains have appropriated Selim's throne, and the Big One endeavors to get it back. Mario Petri costars in this Eastmancolor extravaganza. Goliath at the Conquest of Damascus was issued to television as part of the "Sons of Hercules" package.
