The Secret 7
23 January 2024
Greece is under the power of the tyrant Rabirius, against whom rise a few patriots led by Axel. But he is taken prisoner and condemned to die of hunger and thirst. His brother Leslio engages the services of a group of prisoners who know what it is to fight and do not fear anyone, and together they release Axel. Leslio wants to dissolve the group, without listening to his brother that begs him to join the fight for freedom.

The Secret 7 - or the Invincible seven - is a mix of the dirty Dozen and Magnificent 7 and the heist films. It's a spirited peplum adventure that leans towards Errol Flynn/Crimson Pirate with its humour and inventiveness than the usual serious ones with a well-muscled hero. The heroes here have normal physiques, two are Brothers and the other five are middle-aged prisoners. It moves at a fair clip, has plenty of action, a western-style horse stampede, and an interesting ancient Gatling gun spitting arrows. Helga Line adds some glamor quotient when she appears, which, unfortunately, is limited. Definitely one of the better peplums.
