An Italian sword and sandal action film directed by Domenico Paolella.
A princess is captured by the Babylonians and hides her identity as a common slave. She sends for Hercules to come save her and the people of her kingdom from the Babylonian royalty who conspire against one another.
...and another one. Political intrigue, feats of strength, nobles in hiding, whatever. I don't even care anymore. It all just blends together so much that I can barely tell it's a different movie. Sometimes Hercules has a beard, but he never EVER wears a shirt. Before I go on another rant (saving that for the last sword and sandal debacle), I'll rate it bad.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.
