Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was one of the many sword and sandal/mythological muscle man movies acquired by Joseph E. Levine's Embassy Pictures for release in the United States. Since there was a decline in the popularity of the genre, and many such films had been released to U.S. theaters, Embassy released it directly to television as part of their "Sons of Hercules" film package. The film was modified, pan and scanned, and re-titled "Devil of the Desert Against the Son of Hercules." Like other films in this film package, broadcasters could select versions which could be shown like a feature film, or shown in two one hour time frames as if it were a part of a television series.
- GoofsGainor has a chamber of mirrors millennia before the development of the technology to produce flat glass and silvering.
Featured review
In this adventure the plot moves along, it make sense, good color cinematography and music. I originally thought this was black and white because I saw the trailer on a dvd ago and it was in b&W, oddly so am surprised to find this in color. I would have liked to have monsters in here but for what it is is good. I like the monsters in Fire Monsters Against the Son of Hercules but this shows enough Kingdom intrigue without making it boring, but interesting. Now I do sense this is one of the very required for sword and sandal fans. The Devil of the title is just a guy with a Devilish face who invades kingdom making himself king but there's some hint of magic use about a room of 'magic glass' and he knows the 'secret of reflection' where he lures people into a hall of mirrors and the person gets lost and confused which is the real reflection until he annihilates them personally, this is a trope that's been used in other movies but interesting this movie does this first.Some parts is where did they get the rebel army to retake the kingdom, out of nowhere. Also when the hero sneaks with horse up to the kingdom gates, the horse is a decoy while he appears near the gates while guards inspect the wandering horse, how does Anthar get to the gates, I assume ehe is hiding behind the riding horse as shown he manuesavers behind, but must get off and goes up to the gates, probably this. The beginning for the first couple of minutes no one talks just action which is amusing.
