Wissenswertes
Throughout most of the film's fight sequences, Sam Pasco was doubled by fellow bodybuilder (and star of numerous Italian 'Peplum' films) Pietro Torrisi who also has a small part as one of the evil henchmen. Note that the two never appear onscreen together.

Lenzi Pulls out all the stops.

Set at the dawn of history, a tribe's discovery of iron weapons sparks a struggle for survival and control over this newfound power.

Director Umberto Lenzi crafts a raw, prehistoric adventure that tries to cash-in on Quest for Fire (1981) with its sparse landscapes and gritty tone. It leans more toward Thor the Conqueror (1983), Sword of the Barbarians (1982) (with Peter McCoy AKA Pietro Torrisi) and Conquest (1983) rather than Conan the Barbarian (1982).

The Invincible Barbarian (1982) and Throne of Fire (1983) star Torrisi secretly body doubles for lead Sam Pasco. George Eastman commands the screen with his intense presence. The score, partly recycled from Slave of the Cannibal God (1978), adds to its exploitation charm.

Lenzi's resourceful direction gives the film a grander feel than expected, with clever use of matte paintings, puppetry, and forced perspective.

Overall, of course the poster art is cooler than the movie, still, it's a solid mix of survival drama and tribal power plays, Ironmaster is a primal treat for fans of Lenzi and the genre.
