I saw this film at the movies and I still remember many folks in the audience scream "Kill the f****t!" during this scene. But the fact that this was included in the final cut shows how the filmmakers perceived PEPLUM movies and how they tried to joke on their focus of male physiques. Character actor Jack Taylor has an insanely long list of roles to his credit (123!) and this role is certainly one of his most famous one even if it's very brief. Taylor is still working today. As for Ahnuld, well, his comeback film, THE LAST STAND, was a flop at the movies, making it only at no 10 for the weekend it was released. This might spell doom for his upcoming Conan sequel THE LEGEND OF CONAN.

That's depressing and scary what was shouted in the crowd. Sadly I don't think it would be any different today what people would say.
