the gods of mars and the warlord of mars

Check above, if you want to know where Maurice is today. The week numbers don’t correspond with the actual week numbers it’s just counting up the number of times the Black Market has moved its location. No question about it, if you love this genre, Mars God Of War is one of the best in the series.Here you can find an overview of all the previous Black Market Locations. The fact that he doesn't make an appearance until 15 minutes into the film, and doesn't take off that face covering, huge clunky helmet until 30 minutes in and still manages to dominate the picture, speaks volumes.

He actually looks like he can not only whip the villain's ass, but outwit him as well. For me, the reason he shines in this genre is that while he definitely looks like he can handle himself in a fight, he doesn't come across as some muscle bound clod. Produced by Jim Morris, Colin Wilson and Lindsey Collins, it stars Taylor Kitsch in the title role, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciarán Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy and Willem Dafoe. Here, he gets a chance to show off his buff physique. No question he was my favorite Euro-spy actor as there aren't any films from that category that I don't really enjoy. Browne has been a favorite of mine no matter what genre he was called to appear in. John Kitzmiller as Afros is suitably nasty and his fate at the thirty minute mark is well deserved. At the finale, when she mordaciously regains the powers of speech and hearing, he gets real depressed. He does fall in love with her, fights to protect her and the two end up together at the conclusion of the movie. He falls in love with the deaf and dumb Maia (In the original Italian version They clearly say MAYA.) You see he feels she is the ideal woman because she can't talk back. Dante di Paolo as Mars' sidekick Frixos makes his part believable and quite sympathetic. If ever someone deserved to be eaten alive by a plant, he fills the bill. Massimo Serrato as Antaurus, could play villains in his sleep,and his performance here is no exception. Veteran actress Linda Sini is effective as both a villain and sympathetic victim of her emotions As Ecuba. Jocelyn Lane is a delight and provides all the eye candy needed for the role Of Daphne.

The cast is also perfect for each part they play. Huge battle sequences, ( Afro leads his hoards of sldiers from Africa to raid Ancient Greece), a charismatic hero who isn't bulked up to look superhuman, a monster named The Great Pagondo, the usual dance sequence involving colorful veils, a rapid 94 minute pace aided by editor (and future director) Maurizio Lucidi, and beautiful cinematography by Marcello Masciocchi. It has all the elements of the Sword & Sandal genre that makes this film a winner. The US release as The Son of Hercules Vs Venus didn't do the film any favors, as much of the splendor and film's originality was lost to fit the mold of a series it was never meant to be a part of. I watched all of the Son of Hercules movies when they firt aired on tV.
