Quotes
King Zagro: We'll see if you can find your tongue after a hundred lashes with a horsewhip.

"I'm Not Going To Harm Him, I'm Going To Kill Him!"...

In THE VENGEANCE OF URSUS, the mountainous hero of the title (Samson Burke) rescues Princess Sira (Wandisa Guira) from a band of ne'er-do-wells, and becomes her Protector In Chief. It seems that a nefarious relative has vowed to kill the Princess by any means necessary! In fact, so much treachery occurs that it's difficult to keep track of it all!

Another of the zillion or so hero epics of its era, this movie has some fun scenes. Especially, Ursus' encounter in the tavern, when he tosses and twists his weak opponents into human pretzels!

There's also the typical "test of strength" for Ursus, that will either kill or exonerate him. Plus, the expected "battle royal" at the end. Burke holds his own in his muscular role, which is made easier by his being a walking industrial furnace! No kidding! This guy's a boulder!...
