Did you know

U.S. fans regard this as the last of the big Italian sword and sandal/muscle-man epics. It was directed by Pietro Francisci, who had started the craze with his Hercules (1958).

The story has the three heroes meeting up in the Middle East. Richard Lloyd, the actor playing Samson, was actually from the Middle East. He was a bodybuilder from Iran whose real name was Iloosh Khoshabe.

The soldiers wear World War Two German helmets with a flower attached to the front.
