the peplum
peplum = greek for short tunic, worn by women
peplum films = italian films with 'strong men' like hercules, samson, maciste, where men are bare-chested and wear REALLY short skirts, fight 10 soldiers at one go, lift rocks, pull heavy ships with chains...
watched Hercules Conquers Atlantis today. imagine a class of 55 students being tickled at the mention of the name 'Uranus' in a film about GREEK MYTHOLOGY. that equates to a lot of laughs in one film.
it also didnt help that it was dubbed with funny american accents and they were saying stuff like 'son of Uranus' and 'red blood that flows from Uranus'.
*giggle*
