This had by far the dumbest and most abrupt ending but up until then I thought it was the best of the three (which I realize is a bold statement, because from what I can glean it’s generally considered the worst). They're all OK to good movies but none of them blew me away. Just fun (and relatively short ) films you can turn your mind off to, though I can see their appeal both now and especially when they came out as alternative entertainment to what Hollywood was offering at the time. My favorite parts were the flashbacks to ancient Egypt despite Christopher Lee’s very cringe brown face… |
He’s a fairly wooden presence with what is by far the most dialogue he’s been afforded, but I loved the cheesy, ornate sets and plentiful use (abuse?) of real animals: cows with fake gold horns, real falcons, etc. Also, the framing of this shot is CHEF’s KISS…
