Hordes of sadistic Mongol warriors descend upon China, enslaving its people and plotting to assassinate the beautiful young princess (Yôko Tani) -until a musclebound hero (Gordon Scott) rises up and rouses the people to drive the Mongols from their nation's majestic mountainscapes.
Gordon Scott, my favourite Tarzan, once again dons the toga, brandishes the enemy with red pillars, flings them around like they are pillows and also gets to sprouts some sage dialogue like "justice doesn't know race or creed." It's actually a well-made Peplum with great photography and grand action - chariot-charging action where our hero goes under and clings on to it, a fearless tiger-wrestling stunts and an earthshaking climax is quite impressive. No CGI! Real stunts. Definitely one of the better peplums - Sets are big and spectacular to watch. The only gripe is that it's a bit overlong.
