    The Battle of the Damned
    The plot is a simple combination of two decent American war films, namely "Play Dirty", and also "Tobruk". A small band of misfit American commandos are assigned to head across the North African desert to blow up a huge German fuel depot. Why this fuel depot is important is explained in an overly long introduction, comprised of narrated black and white stock footage. That introduction is just a time-killer, but once it's out of the way, the fun begins. (imdb)

    Brennus, Enemy of Rome
    Brennus, Enemy of Rome (Brenno, il nemicodi Roma) is what it says it is. The loinclothed hero battles sinister forces that would destroy his home, his friends, and his honor. The action sequences are expertly handled, which is more than we can say for the English dubbing. The stars are Maciste flick veteran Gordon Mitchell, Ursula Davis, and Tony Kendall (aka Luciano Stella). (allrovi.com)
