“I first saw this movie when I was about 12. Most recently I saw it on MST3000 and was appalled that they were making fun of it. It has some laughable moments and the quality of the print and the dubbing was poor even when I was 12 (and the movie was only 7). But the movie has some truly incredible scenes in it (the bad guy riding his horse to the top of hill made of the living bodies of his soldiers) and has a lot of content for a serious student of cinematic techniques.”
