Steve Reeves vs Mimmo Palmara

Steve Reeves and Mimmo Palmara made several films together and they were almost always pitted against each other, except for SANDOKAN THE PIRATE OF MALAYSIA. Steve would bitchslap Mimmo in his place but Mimmo was always a worthy opponent.

I'm always glad, as you know, to see Hercules get humbled. I like that last photo especially. In The Trojan Horse Herc got knocked out because he went blind, or something and ran into that pole. That must have hurt, a lot, but Herc acted like it was nothing, although today we know he probably had a concussion. He should really have been in a hospital for overnight observation, and then continued the fight the day after.
