Colossus and the Headhunters (1963)


American International Pictures
Directed by Guido Malatesta
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

Muscleman Kirk Morris is Maciste. He rescues a lucky few survivors from a volcanic eruption which destroys their city. They sail across the sea on a raft, ending up on an island where headhunters are terrorizing a rival tribe. The power hungry king of the tribe kidnaps a queen and enslaves her people. Maciste helps them defeat the king, and falls in love with the queen along the way. Ridiculous peplum costume drama with exotic dancing, beheadings and lots and lots of hand-to-hand fighting.
