Gladiators 7 (1962)

A Spanish Italian sword and sandal action film directed by Pedro Lazaga.
A group of seven gladiators defend a small town from a tyrant and his soldiers.
Does this plot ring a bell? Maybe it's a little like Shichinin No Samurai (1954) or The Magnificent Seven (1960)? This makes me wonder if there's a wuxia/kung fu version around somewhere. When something is perfect the first time and still good the second, what would possess someone to try for #3 by using inferior tools and abilities? Anyway, the plot was stale as stale can be and the characters were shallow mockeries. The audio and video were bad and the style sucked. I would compare this to someone scribbling with crayons on their ceiling and calling it a sequel to the Sistine chapel. For making such a bad movie, based on such good movies, I rate this shit. This is another instance of "I watched it so you don't have to".
