Compare Prices on The Film Crew: The Giant of Marathon
A Film Crew movie with an genuine budget, “The Giant of Marathon” stars the well-oiled Steve “I’m not Hercules in this one” Reeves. Unlike most Italian sand `n sandal epics, you can actually follow the situation of this one…most of the time…as Steve wins the Olympics, tries to bag a blond hottie, wrestles a bit, gets hit on by a Vulcan hottie, throws things, runs a lot, and finally wins the day, I deem. It helps that the film is well produced even if some of the dubbing is unpleasant.

The riffs by The Film Crew are top notch from the get-go and perhaps the best of all four DVD releases. Some of the references are a bit exciting for the kiddies, but that’s to be expected I direct.The skits are fairly edifying, although I must admit that the describe of Bob Honcho (which is different from the other DVDs) is unbiased too amusing for words.
The Bonus Features include a trusty apology from Mike who calm manages to insult a lot of people. And “commentary” from a Walter S. Ferguson who sounds suspiciously like Mike Nelsen as he describes different roles he played in the film. It’s better than the feature in “Hollywood After Dim” and that’s about it.

This is the final DVD of “The Film Crew” experiment, we’ll contemplate if they sell well enough for more of the DVDs to be produced.
Tidbits:
- This film is presented in the “widescreen” format.
- The exact title appears to be “The Battle of Marathon” which makes more sense since Steve Reeves is comely substantial but hardly a giant.
- Although no one wears a bra, perhaps some of the men in this flick should…
Like many other MiSTies out there, I was gloomy to scrutinize Mike and the ‘Bots descend to earth in the last ever episode of MST3K and while I kept up with Mike’s work with Record Films (he provided hilarious commentary tracks) I held out hope that one day the present would be revived in some fashion, perhaps hitting the live college circuit. I was thrilled to leer that Mike, Bill and Kevin would once again be wait on in front of the cameras (or at least in the bottom suitable corner of your veil) doing what they do best, shredding the worst B-movie drek to scuttle from Hollywood. Of the four DVD’s the Film Crew have released The Giant Of Marathon is by far the best. Oh…by the best I of course mean the WORST, The film itself could be described as a bunch of lunkheads stumbling around outmoded Greece for 90 minutes. You could easily compare it to the very best episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (not an unfair comparison given the pedigree here) . While it’s fair you no longer have those sillouhettes to maintain you company throughout these cinamatic travesties, the warped sense of humor is smooth there. I’ve even grown fond of the wraparound host segments now that the “characters” of Mike, Bill and Kevin have been established over the four Film Crew DVD’s. I hope they can continue to fabricate these as each DVD is certainly reliable of several viewings. I’ve bought ‘em all and I’ll line up for the next one.
Now the interrogate remains: What’s Joel doing these days?
