Sword & Sandal Trailers Vol. 1

I love this genre and these trailers are a blast. Loaded with adventure and plenty of action, you're catapulted back to a simpler time when there were a myriad of beasts and demons to vanquish, princesses to rescue and armies to slay. Ahhhhh, the good ole days.

It's too bad that most of these will never see a proper DVD release and that it's likely I'll never see any S&S films on the big screen (btw, you'll notice that a few of these are not S&S films but period adventure - for ex., Sinbad films are not S&S). The closest I've ever come is seeing a beautiful 70 mm print of Spartacus on a gigantic screen in New Orleans nearly twenty years ago. THAT was amazing. Except for the first one on the list, ATLAS, I think I've got all of them. There are two more volumes of these trailers that I converted to DVD from the Sinister Cinema VHS tapes I had. Oh, to be a kid in the late 50s/early 60s seeing these larger-than-life adventures in the theater with a big-ass tub of corn and Coke...
