Richard Harrison, as the Red Wolf, causes mayhem in REVOLT OF THE PRAETORIANS (1964)

The Hero hiding behind a 'scary' mask to cause chaos amongst the evil rulers is pretty much a PEPLUM cliché. In my opinion, the Red Wolf should have been used more in the movie but it serves its purpose. Richard Harrison is pretty good in this movie. It's a solid production but the movie does tend to veer from serious action to slapstick style. This is pretty common in Italian productions but it's always a bit odd to witness. The movie has one of the most crowded casts with over a dozen major characters.
