        • Trivia
          The US distributor used the English-language track that was recorded in Italy. This resulted in this film being one of the few in which the hero's name, Maciste, was used in the English-dubbed version. For other films involving Maciste, when the English-language track was recorded in the US, his name would usually be changed to a more familiar name such as "Goliath" or "Samson."
        • Goofs
          When Maciste begins to regain his memory and has flashbacks of an earlier adventure in China, he suddenly looks like Gordon Scott.
        • Quotes

          Maciste: Don't discourage me. I've always fought against evil and I've always won. I'll win this time too. And I'll find that cursed witch.

        Very entertaining "hybrid"

        There's no way I could NOT like a combination Italian horror film (of the traditional kind) AND Italian "spear and sandal" film, including this one, which I never saw till two years ago. The "hell" scenes were worthy of "Hercules in the Haunted World," which I also never saw till recently. It seems to be a direct sequel to another "peplum" film (I don't know which), because of flashbacks and little references. As much as I like these movies AS movies, instead of as "camp," even I found it funny when the "Maciste" character arrived in this 17th (?) century Scottish town (and yes, in his loincloth), without anyone wondering anything about him.
