Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This 'peplum' wave flooded 1960s Italy with cheap mythological epics, often recycling the same four actors under different hero names for different markets.

Trivia

Sergio Ciani played Hercules so often he was credited as 'Alan Steel' in English dubs to sound more American.
