- TriviaAlthough the American International Pictures end title gives sole music credit to staff composer Les Baxter, he actually scored just a few scenes (opening narration, love scene, etc) that AIP felt needed re-scoring. The bulk of the score, including the main and end titles, retained the original tracks by Francesco De Masi. This was proven when CAM released the original De Masi score on CD (CSE 111) in 1993. Most of the tracks therein found their way into the AIP release.

Featured review
Goliath returns to his home land to help stop the flow of 30 virgins a year to Babylon.
As Sword and Sandal films go this is pretty good. Its not the worst its not the best. Its just a good, light entertaining film that makes you smile as things go along. Filled with interesting set pieces, a chariot race, a sea battle, dungeon torture, this movie attempts to give you more than the usual film of this nature.
The trouble is that the film seems to have been done before. Its not even so much that the film has the same plot as the vast majority of this type of film, its that the sets, the tortures and perhaps whole sequences show up elsewhere. Even allowing for the fact that the trailer has shown up on various other taps and DVDs, this film seems overly familiar, especially to anyone who has ever watched more than a handful of these films.
Still as these things go its not a bad movie. See it.
