(themoviedatabase)MEDUSA AGAINST THE SON OF HERCULES-1963-The son of Hercules, Perseo the invincible (Richard Harrison) (not a blood relative; just appointed to the role) gets involved in a spat between two city-states (one good, one evil) over one of the king's daughters, Princess Andromeda. She sets up a tournament and whoever wins, gets her. The bad king's son is in the tourney as is Perseo, who wins, becomes a soldier and falls for Andromeda. The evil son kidnaps her. Then his father declares war and Perseo fights and slays a sea serpent singlehandedly. While the bad king's troops besiege the good king's castle, Perseo goes to fight Medusa (created by Carlo Rambaldi) who he kills. All its victims who were turned to stone come back to life and join Perseo in vanquishing the bad guys.
Director Alberto De Martino made THE BLANCHEVILLE MONSTER the same year and later made OPERATION KID BROTHER (1967) and THE PUMAMAN (1980). American lead Richard Harrison later made a lot of films with the word “ninja” in the titles.
Thanks for reading!
