| MACISTE,
THE AVENGER OF THE MAYANS/RÄCHER DER MAYAS/IL
VENDICATORE DEI MAYAS (1965) Directed by Guido Malatesta, starring Kirk Morris, Andrea Aureli. Very weird (and no doubt rare) film consists mostly of footage from other pepla, including MACISTE AGAINST THE HEADHUNTERS, with some new linking material. Numerous continuity goofs, such as the arrow wound in Maciste's chest - now you see it, now you don't. (BTW he's called Hercules in the German print). I actually find this film more amusing than most of the 'genuine' pepla in my collection. Germany: Silwa Video (rental). LBX 1.78:1, 82m12s. Original Italian print. German language. The tape also contains a hilarous presentation film for Silwa Video! |
