This poster for illustrates many people's expectations from films of this genre.Sword-and-sandal, also known as peplum ( pepla plural), is a genre of largely Italian-made historical or Biblical epics mostly set in the or medieval period. These films attempted to emulate the big-budget Hollywood historical epics of the time, such as,.
These films dominated the Italian film industry from 1958 to 1965, eventually being replaced in 1965 by the and films.The term 'peplum' (a Latin word referring to the Ancient Greek garment ), was introduced by French film critics in the 1960s. The terms ' and 'sword-and-sandal' were used in a condescending way by film critics. Later, the terms were embraced by fans of the films, similar to the terms 'spaghetti western' or 'shoot-'em-ups'. In their English versions, peplum films can be immediately differentiated from their Hollywood counterparts by their use of 'clumsy and inadequate' English language.
A 100 minute documentary on the history of Italy's peplum genre was produced and directed by Antonio Avati in 1977 entitled Kolossal: i magnifici Maciste (aka Kino Kolossal).Italian epic films set in antiquity that were produced before the peplum wave proper started in 1958, such as (1949) and (1954), have been called proto-peplum. And recent films set in such Greco-Roman times (made after the peplum wave ended in 1965) have been called neo-peplum.The terms 'sword-and-sandal' and 'peplum' have sometimes been used by critics to refer to any film, regardless of whether it was Italian-made or not, from the silent era to the present, if the film was set in antiquity or medieval times, but the pepla actually attempted to emulate the big-budget Hollywood historical epics of the time. Contents.Genre characteristics Sword-and-sandal films are a specific class of Italian or fantasy films that have subjects set in Biblical or, often with plots based more or less loosely on, history or the other contemporary cultures of the time, such as the, and, as well as medieval times. Not all of the films were fantasy-based by any means. Many of the plots featured actual historical personalities such as, and, although great liberties were taken with the storylines., and rebelling against tyrannical rulers were also popular subjects.As Robert Rushing defines it, peplum, 'in its most stereotypical form,. depicts muscle-bound heroes (professional bodybuilders, athletes, wrestlers, or brawny actors) in mythological antiquity, fighting fantastic monsters and saving scantily clad beauties.
Rather than lavish epics set in the classical world, they are low-budget films that focus on the hero's extraordinary body.' Thus, most sword-and-sandal films featured a superhumanly strong man as the protagonist, such as, or Italy's own popular folk hero. In addition, the plots typically involved two women vying for the affection of the bodybuilder hero: the good love interest (a needing rescue), and an evil femme fatale queen who sought to dominate the hero.Also, the films typically featured an ambitious ruler who would ascend the throne by murdering whomever stood in his path, and often it was only the muscular hero who could depose him.
Thus, Maria Elena D'Amelio points out the hero's often political goal: 'to restore a legitimate sovereign against an evil dictator.' A poster for starringA series of 19 Hercules movies were made in Italy in the late '50s and early '60s. The films were all sequels to the successful Steve Reeves peplum (1958), and each film was a stand-alone story not connected to the others.

In a 1997 interview Reeves said he felt his two Hercules films couldn't be topped by another sequel, so he declined to do any more Hercules films.The films are listed below by their American release titles, and the titles in parentheses are their original Italian titles with an approximate English translation.
