Known Biblical episode, being here decently narrated with some nice scenes and other ones extremely absurd and disconcerting. Spectacularly horny as well as corny tale that uses the habitual landscapes from Ouarzazate, Morocco . Regularly starred by Eric Thal as the corpulent Samson, and gorgeous, charming Elizabeth Hurley playing the tempter , vindictive vixen Delilah. The movie boasts a good support cast, such as : Michael Gambon as the mean and powerful Re Hamun , Dennis Hopper who steals the show as a nefarious villain, Jonathan Rhys Meyers as a very young Sansone , Alessandro Gassman, Daniel Massey, Paul Freeman, Diana Rigg ,Debora Caprioglio , Sebastian Knapp , Pinkas Braun , among others . The motion picture was middlingly directed by Nicolas Roeg . Nicolas was an expert cameraman and filmmaker , he went to Australia for his solo debut as director Walkabout (1971) , which was also his last film as cinematographer, and throughout the next decade he produced a world-class body of work Don't look now (1973); The man who fell to Earth (1976); Bad timing (1980)) that revealed his uniquely off-kilter view of the world, expressed through fragmented, dislocated images and a highly original yet strangely accessible approach to narrative .
