If you think that Ator is a Conan rip-off and nothing else, you should read my new blog entry on the subject. Unfortunately it's in German. So here's a quick synopsis for my non-german speaking readers: Ator's roots are the Sword and Sandal movies (also Pepla) from the 60s. Its origins lie within Italy, not Hollywood. D'Amato once said, that his intention was to make a "Hercules with a sword" movie. That's why Barbarian Fantasy movies from Italy are also called "Neo-Pepla". /// Und für meine Krauts, neuer Eintrag auf barbarenschinken.tumblr.com!
