Cult filmmaker Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust) tones down the gore and leans hard into glorious camp for this Cannon Films co-production that delivers sword-and-sorcery thrills with a hefty dose of muscle-bound absurdity. When the evil warlord Kadar massacres the nomadic Ragnick tribe, kidnaps their queen Canary, and enslaves the twin boys who dared bite off his fingers, he plants the seeds of his own destruction. Separated and raised apart, the twins — Gore and Kutchek (Peter and David Paul) — grow into the ultimate barbarian warriors, and reunite with a burning desire for vengeance. Packed with spectacular set pieces, lavish Italian production design, magnificent oiled biceps, and the kind of deliriously entertaining nonsense that only a Cannon-backed production could deliver.
