Technically, this is at the better end of the genre as both the production standards and - mercifully - the dubbing hold up quite well. Mark Forest could hardly be described as versatile, or good - really - but here, he is also quite decent as the eponymous hero who steps in to stop the annual tribute of thirty young virgins being sent from his Nefer homeland to Babylon. Certainly, the plot offers nothing new - we have seen the same story time and time again with the hero being "Hercules" or "Maciste", but the costumes and sets are colourful and vibrant, there is plenty of strong-man action and although it is a bit heavy on the dialogue side from time to-time, it's still quite an entertaining sword and sandals caper full of the usual court intrigues, gladiatorial sword fights and quite a fun contribution from Arnaldo Fabrizio ("Ninneto") too. You won't remember it afterwards, but it passes eighty-odd minutes amiably enough.
