Wissenswertes
The production had to shut down when the money ran out. American-International Pictures' executives James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff were shown rushes from the film and agreed to buy the US distribution rights, which gave the film's producers the money to continue production. With their own Steve Reeves movie (retitled Herkules, der Schrecken der Hunnen (1959)) in theaters only five months after the box-office sensation Die unglaublichen Abenteuer des Herkules (1958), American-International had one of its biggest hits up to that time.

Zitate
Londo: You're very strong, but you don't look like a woodcutter.
Emiliano: Appearances are deceiving.

Alternative Versionen
For its release in the United States under the title "Goliath and the Barbarians," American International trimmed almost 15 minutes of film, replaced the English language dubbing with their own English dubbed track and replaced the score with one recorded by Les Baxter. It became American International's biggest hit up to that time. It set a precedent for American International's handling of later foreign negative pick-ups.

Gave me courage for Puberty!!

In 1960 I was a 13-year-old boy, undergoing the initial fires of puberty, pimply and awkward and ugly (well, STILL ugly), when I saw this movie. BONG!! Immediately wanted to BE Steve Reeves. Thought if I saw the movie enough times, I might metamorphose. Sigh. For me, this was THE Steve Reeves movie - didn't see "Hercules" till much later. Thrilled with the music, too, I wrote a letter to the studio (amateurishly addressed to "Hollywood") asking if an album was available. A few weeks later, a copy of the soundtrack album arrived, gratis! That album was damaged in a house fire, but the cover, a photo of the lead actress in arms-raised dancing pose (underarm hair!?!) is still largely intact. I dream of seeing this movie again before I die!!!! Pleeeeese, powers that be, DVD it for me!!
