Dan Vadis as Hercules in HERCULES THE INVINCIBLE (1964) 

Well, Dan Vadis can be considered a special effect to some, no, the effects is the one that's featured in the banner above with Vadis. It's a rocky drawbridge during the climax of the movie. The effects, made with practical models, is very seamless with the full size set. I really like it. There's more to it, including a river of lava and people running across the bridge. Effects work credited to Eros Bacciucchi.
