(DVD, Wild East)
Effective blend of the horror and sword and sandal genres, with Gordon Scott fresh off the Tarzan series as Goliath. When his village is pillaged and the women taken away as slaves, Goliath vows revenge on the perpetrators. Kobrak is some kind of mystical creature that feeds on blood and commands an army of faceless robots. Goliath teams up with a local sultan whose got an underground laboratory where he keeps preserved bodies which he hopes to bring back to life with a secret element possessed by Kobrak. He's also got an army of blue men, which Goliath leads into battle against the faceless robots in an interesting finale. The Wild East DVD, while widescreen, is a washed-out, brown muck. The included trailer has much better color and gives some indication of what this might have looked like in it's original theatrical run.
