roflmao what a bitchslap.

you should never treat a woman like that.

fist her! ;P

[piankhy123]

My goodness the woman was slapped so hard repeatedly from 07:21 to 07:26, I hope they were only acting.

[oschvelez]

@everynamesgone i have to agree the slaps to the face had me in stitches but not because of the slap itself but mostly because of her facial expressions both times her face doesnt change! i love it!! lol!!!

[GeorgeSamson6922]

Gotta agree. That fight scene with the wrestler is incredible. I got the impression that the wrestler suffered worse than just some broken ribs. I didnt see the movie but I think that character did not appear agin. Maybe it was his back that collapsed and not just a few ribs!

[ronwelker8]

steve reeves still looks good without the bulkiness of his hercules roles -- contrary to the modern bodybuilding notion that huge size is what matters above all instead of symmetry

[LVSWTZ]

@ronwelker8 True but Size is great when you have the symmetry to carry it and Steve did he looked better as Hercules with the added muscle and that beard lol.

[ronwelker8]

@LVSWTZ i do agree that he had almost perfect proportions slimmer or heavier and yes since he was originally playing the role of hercules, he did need the added muscle and one of the world's most perfect movie beards i have ever seen to go with his saphire blue eyes

[LVSWTZ]

@ronwelker8 yep lol!

[ronwelker8]

@LVSWTZ the thing is that he looked almost god-like even when lighter in weight and filming LAST DAYS OF POMPEII or THE THEIF OF BAGHDAD or other non-super strength type roles because he had such an incredibly small waist that his shoulders always looked huge even when he was not in his Hercules or Mr. Universe physique condition.

[LVSWTZ]

@ronwelker8 it's steves god given genetics that made him stand out from everyone else Billions have lifted weights but very few had the structure like he did and NO ONE had that face lol The closest Steroid Era Bodybuilder to Steves Reeves beauty would be Bob Paris cute face, Reeves was Gorgeous. Christopher Reeve as Superman one of the most handsome men ever, but never had the bod Steve stopped traffic walking down the street Prime Reeves would put Pitt Clooney and Damon all out work lol.

[ronwelker8]

@LVSWTZ YES....he DID have incredible god-given genetics and he should have beenf in a "major film' before an italian director's daughter saw steeve reeves in the film ATHENA.. I do think that Reg Park was equally handsome and he had a gigantically muscular physique -- also being one of the strongest men in the world at the time .. but i suppose devoted steve reeves fans would disagree that LOU DEGNI and REG PARK are equally deserving of film stardom with STEVE REEVES

[mrkmuscle]

Yeah muscle61. I blow a load when he squeezes the guy every time.

[Muscle61]

Love it when he sqeezes the muscleman wrestler until his ribs crack and break...wow.

[upperkkut]

Yeah, that's awesome--the wrestler thinks Reeves is just a pushover and goes to flatten him and gets a big surprise when Reeves crushes HIM.

[bamboompow]

LOL. You might say he "crumbles under pressure."

[osotoron]

Ponme como un sello sobre tu corazòn, como una marca sobre tu brazo, porque fuerte es como la muerte el amor.

[everynamesgone]

hahaa the slaps to the face HILARIOUS at 7:29 amazing! LONG LIVE STEVE REEEVES!
