I used to have a friend at school who drooled relentlessly over Miles O'Keeffe back in the day; and with whom I saw this at a time of "He-Man" and "Conan the Barbarian" - both of which this could be described of as a poor relation. "Ator" has to rescue his sister (and wife - yes, very Ptolemaic) from the evil clutches of the "Spider King". There really isn't anything much more to write about the shockingly shallow performances; the stodgy (Italian) dialogue and the plot (?) - along with a valiant effort from Carlo Cordio to create some sort of excitement with a heavily drum-oriented score - it just all falls rather flat. The costume designer has had some fun though, and there must have been some serious fire safety concerns given the lashings of hairspray and fake tan involved... It's cheesy tosh - fit for a very late night outing on telly once you've emptied the Malbec bottle... There's even a song from a wannabe Sheena Easton at the end!
