This review is from: Gladiators 9 Movie Pack (DVD)
ST. CLAIR DVD multi-packs are reasonably priced, and offer fine quality video/audio transfers of unrestored public domain material. Discs are single-side recorded, plastic storage cases fairly sturdy, movie liner notes appear on box's back cover and most DVDs include bonus items.
HIGHLIGHTS:
THE GIANT OF MARATHON-- A Greek soldier leads the fight against invading Persians during the Medic Wars.
GIANTS OF ROME-- Gladiators handpicked by Caesar himself are off on a secret suicide mission against the Druids.
THE GIANTS OF THESSALY-- Jason sails the Argo in search of the Golden Fleece (a winged ram).
THE REBEL GLADIATORS-- To spare his village from destruction, Ursus must arena fight the mightiest Roman
SPARTACUS AND THE TEN GLADIATORS-- Based on ancient lore. The Roman slave revolt begins with an uprising by Spartacus and several fellow slave-gladiators.
HISTORY AT THE MOVIES (also from St. Clair) includes another Spartacus film ("Sins of Rome"), plus "Constantine and the Cross," a story of the first Christian emperor.
