Clash of the Olympians

I came looking for the titles in this particular collection. Of course, amazon doesn't list them.

After a bit of looking around I came up with this:

Disc 1:
Hercules and The Captive Women
Hercules and The Tyrants of Babylon
The Giants of Rome
Herod The Great

Disc 2:
Hercules Unchained
Hercules and The Princess of Troy
Hercules and The Masked Rider
Spartacus and Ten Gladiators

Disc 3:
Hercules Against The Moon Men
The Giants of Thessaly
Ali Baba and The Seven Saracens
The Giant of Marathon

Disc 4:
Goliath and The Sins of Babylon
The Avenger
Hercules Against The Mongols
Kindar The Invulnerable

At least now I can compare to what I already own and make a informed decision as to a purchase. Star rating based solely on the quality of prior Mill Creek releases with some of these titles.

More or less a condensed version of the 50 sword and sandal movie pack previously released from Mill Creek Entertainment, the picture quality ranges from watchable to annoying but at this price it is still worth buying.
For fans only with this set, all others stay out of the arena.

That's what these blurred out movies are like; Mill Creek is notorious for such stuff.

HERCULES UNCHAINED (with special effects by mario bava), and HERCULES AND THE PRINCESS OF TROY (which was a pilot for an american series, and has diana highland, John Travolta's 1970s girlfriend in it) are the only 2 of these 16 films that remotely look good---AMC channel showed mint prints of both about 10 years ago.

HERCULES AND THE CAPITVE WOMAN has the most fantasy elements, with a better print elsewhere. HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN is another good fantasy---though a one dollar Walmart print was also better.

THE AVENGER is shown bw---though it's a color movie, from Albert Band, who later made usa horror cheapies. Jaques Tourner, of val lewton fame, directed GIANT OF MARATHON. GIANTS OF THESALY is about jason & the argonauts.

Even in the '60s, some of this junk went right to usa tv, with "aip television" in credits as proof of that. WOR, channel 9 nyc, showed this stuff on Saturdays.

These movies could only be profitable if old sets and costumes were reused, so there's HERCULES AGAINST THE MONGOLS, with stuff leftover from asian epic.

I only paid $1.50, and shipping, for this---now there's a 22 cents copy on Amazon.
