Kirk Morris stars as the muscled offspring in The Devil of the Desert Against the Son of Hercules. This Sword and Sandal popcorn flick is shot in beautiful northern Africa. The picturesque settings go well with the beautiful and sparsely clothed stars. The story is classic: a princess gets sold into slavery after her wealthy father is killed, and it’s up to the robust hero to save her. But the plot and dubbed dialogue aren’t the features that make this film a joy to watch. The captivating scenery and action, the love and the bloodshed, are what send The Devil of the Desert Against the Son of Hercules to adventurous heights.
