THE ABSURDLY SUCCSFUL ACTN MOVI, MA PRIMARILY BY ITALIAN STUDS, BEME CULT HS AMONG A VERY PARTICULAR AND THEN-IGNORED SEGMENT OF THE DIENCE. NONE OF THE ORIGAL “HERCUL” SERI PRENTED AN EROTICIZED PROTAGONIST AS SUCH, BUT THEY WERE EROTICIZED ANYWAY BY THE GAY MUNY THAT TOOK THEM , A MUNY THAT AT THAT TIME WAS STILL VERY MUCH A CLOSETED AND ABED MORY THE UNED STAT. THE PEPLUM BOOM WAS SET OFF BY THE SUCCS OF THE 1958 “HERCUL,” JT OVER A BEFORE THE STONEWALL {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}NONE OF THE OLD PEPLUM FILMS EMBRACE THE POTENTIAL OF THEIR PROTAGONISTS TO BE SEXUAL OBJECTS.

NOT THAT THE DOMANCE OF THE STRAIGHT MALE GAZE IS GONE, BUT THE EXISTENCE OF BOTH GAY MALE AND FEMALE SIRE IS REGNIZED BY MOVI. SO, HERE’S THE QUTN: WHILE THE OLD PEPLUM FILMS ACCINTALLY STUMBLED TO GAY SIRE, IS POSSIBLE THAT THE NEW BATCH OF BIGGER-BUDGET HOLLYWOOD SWORD AND SANDAL MOVI ARE VG ?{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}BELIEVE OR NOT, ’S HAS A LOT TO DO WH SPECIAL EFFECTS. THE BODY OF HERCUL (OR SAMSON, OR MACISTE, OR GOLIATH OR WHOEVER) WAS THE PRIMARY VISUAL DRAW OF THE ITALIAN PEPLUM FLICK, THE SOURCE OF THE ACTN. LOOK NO FURTHER THAN MY PERSONAL FAVORE ANACHRONISTIC MS, 1963’S “HERCUL AND THE MASKED RIR.” THE FILM IS SET SPA THE 16TH CENTURY, BEE WHY NOT? HERCUL IS A BLON, HULKG GYPSY PLAYED BY ALAN STEEL, BUT THE PLOT IS MOSTLY ABOUT DON JUAN (THE ALMOST-AS-BEEFY MIMMO PALMARA). ACTUALLY, HERCUL HAS VERY LTLE TO DO EXCEPT ACT AS DON JUAN’S SUPPORT, SHOWG UP TO THROW THGS AROUND AND FLEX FOR THE MERA. ALAN STEEL, AS HERCUL, PLAYS THE ROLE OF THE SPECIAL EFFECTS AN ACTN MOVIE ABOUT SOMEONE {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}THERE ARE PLENTY OF MOVI WHICH HERCUL IS MORE CENTRAL TO THE PLOT, BUT THE ATHETICS ARE THE SAME. THE MERA IS OBSSED WH THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF THE MCLEMAN, AND THE WAY THAT HE MOV, BUT ’S DONE WHOUT EVEN A HT OF SELF-AWARENS. IN “THE FURY OF HERCUL” (1962), BRAD HARRIS AS HERCUL ACTUALLY SHOWS UP TO EVERY FIGHT SCENE WH AN EXTRA LAYER OF BODY OIL. THIS IS EVEN TE OF THE STEVE REEV FILMS, CLUDG THE 1958 ORIGAL. HIS MCL UPSTAGE THE ACTUAL SPECIAL EFFECTS, NOT LEAST OF WHICH IS AN ENORMO MAKHIFT DRAGON THAT FALLS OVER AFTER A VERY SHORT FIGHT WH THE YOUNG {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}THE LEGACY OF THE OLD FILMS IS THEREFORE ONE OF GIDDY, NOCENT OBSSN WH THE MALE FORM.

THE RULT IS A GROUP OF SPARTANS THAT PHYSILLY OVERWHELM, A FEVERISH FANTASY OF MASCULY. THE STUM REVEAL FAR MORE SK THAN ALMOST ANYTHG AN OLD HERCUL MOVIE, AND SNYR TOSS A FEW MOMENTS OF ACTUAL NUDY JT TO MAKE SURE YOU’VE NOTICED . IN A SENSE, “300”IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A MORN SWORD AND SANDAL FILM THAT BOTH MATAS THE ACTN POTENTIAL OF THE EXCSIVELY BUILT MALE FORM AND RPORAT A NSCNS OF S EROTIC {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}THEN AGA, THE SNYR’S EPIC OF WEIRD VLENCE ALSO HAS SOME OTHER IAS.

WHEN EPHIALT, MA REPULSIVE BY THE FILM WH PALPABLE GLEE, FALLY ENTERS THE PERSIAN ROYAL TENT TO BETRAY THE SPARTANS, HE IS MET BY A SICKLY Y THAT SEEMS TO INTIFY TRANSGRSIVE SEXUAL AND GENR IAS WH EVERYTHG DISGTG ABOUT PERSIA.

THE TRAILER HTS AT ELEMENTS OF THE “300” STYLE, EXAGGERATED FIGHTG MECHANICS TO PLEMENT THE EXAGGERATED PHYSIL PRENCE OF KELLAN LUTZ. BUT THIS IS ALSO GOG TO BE A LOVE STORY, AND ONE BUILT AROUND A MAN OM THE “TWILIGHT” STABLE OF BEEFK.

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN MY PERSONAL FAVORE ANACHRONISTIC MS, 1963’S “HERCUL AND THE MASKED RIR.” THE FILM IS SET SPA THE 16TH CENTURY, BEE WHY NOT? HERCUL IS A BLON, HULKG GYPSY PLAYED BY ALAN STEEL, BUT THE PLOT IS MOSTLY ABOUT DON JUAN (THE ALMOST-AS-BEEFY MIMMO PALMARA). ACTUALLY, HERCUL HAS VERY LTLE TO DO EXCEPT ACT AS DON JUAN’S SUPPORT, SHOWG UP TO THROW THGS AROUND AND FLEX FOR THE MERA.
