Alan Steel tries to survive a sandstorm in HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN (1964)

In the current issue of BY THE GODS! I cover disasters in PEPLUM movies. This includes this movie which has the evil Moon Men try to destroy the earth and our Hero du jour tries to stop them. The disasters includes the infamous sandstorm which, at one point, became a meme. It was a point of ridicule by folks who trash PEPLUM movies in general. There's nothing bad about the sandstorm. It might be a bit long but overall, I like it. Steel stands out, literally, in this scene, which is one of the reasons why these film geeks hate it so much. The big difficulty writing the article for the magazine was decided what to cover and what to leave out. There's so much to write about. Volcanoes alone could have taken the entire length of the article. I included this movie because I like it. Nothing will make me not like it. And Alan Steel is one of the reasons why I give it thumbs up. Legend.
