Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie was based on the Book of Judges.
- GoofsThis movie shows modern "ears" of what North Americans call "corn" and other places call "maize". The plant "maize" comes from the Americas and thus was never available in biblical times in any place mentioned in the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible (King James Version) does use the word "corn"; but that term referred to grains such as wheat or rye or barley. So, the use of maize in an Old Testament setting is an anachronism based upon a linguistic misinterpretation.

Samson the ... Maciste(?)
This is quite the throwback for me to movies I used to watch as a kid. I can only imagine that this was what the aim was from the filmmakers themselves. Maybe you are nostalgic to those times and movies and find something to love here ... something others couldn't see.
Having said that, there is a lot of "cheese" and there is a lot of unintentional comedy. Like when the bad guy kills of a main character and says "I may not be as strong as you ..." and so forth (he may have used different analogies) - basically saying, I am not worthy .. but at least I'm alive. By the way the expressions of the person killed are ... really good actually! Almost feel too good a "death scene" for such a cliche moment/movie.
Anyway some really funny things than, but overall you have to be a swords and sandals fan to even make it all the way through. It's not really bad, but will feal like torture for those unprepared and unwilling to suspend their disbelief.
