Herkules - Rächer von Rom

A childhood friend enlists Hercules to protect the Roman Emperor Gordiano, who is in danger from his own mutinous Praetorian Guards. By the time the hero reaches Italy and the temporary Roman capital of Ravenna, the guards have already murdered the mild and scholarly Emperor, replacing him with their chief officer Filippo Afro. Gordiano's daughter Ulpia faces the prospect of marrying Filippo's worthless son Rezio, linking the usurper to the imperial family. Hercules undertakes to set the situation right, rescuing Ulpia and helping the great Roman general Lucio Trajano Decio seize the throne.

Alan Steel stars as Hercules, tackling crooked emperor who usurped the previous one who was a good guy. It's decent enough, though a little routine and complicated in parts. But some spirited action - Steel is quite physical in the sword fighting stakes - keeps thing bubbling. Plus there's some nice looking women. There's a bit of humour in the form of the idiotic son of the villain who wants him to marry the emperor's daughter.
