Cheap Italian 1960s sword & sandal "epic" about Greek God Jupiter tiring of his daughter Venus' wildchild promiscuous ways and decides it's time to marry her off. This leads to many potential suitors and much infighting among the gods. Badly dubbed, ridiculously cheap special effects, and generally poor production values make this a far cry from "Jason and the Argonauts" or "Clash of the Titans," but there is something endearing about these sorts of awful films and "Vulcan, Son of Giove" is a pretty respectable entry in the disreputable Italian muscle man sub genre (i.e. remember that SNL skit where Bill Murray played Hercules? "That boulder is too large. I could move a smaller one."). Although not a good film in the conventional sense, I was very much entertained.
Once again, blue-eyed blonde Venus (Annie Gorassini) has fled from the Olympus to Earth - to enjoy the company of a man. Jupiter sends a dart against Adonis, who falls dead at Venus' feet. Mars insinuates that Jupiter is afraid of Venus, "the most beautiful woman on Earth". Juno, Jupiter's wife and Mercury insist with Jupiter (Furio Meniconi) that Venus herself should be punished. But Jupiter hesitates about to whom Venus should be married. Jupiter decides she shall marry her soon to one of the candidates: Maciste (Iloosh Khoshabe as Rod Flash), a mortal working in Vulcano's cave, and Mars (Roger Browne), the god of War. But when the two get into a fight about this, Jupiter postpones the decision; first they are both to live without their divine powers for two months as punishment. Then Mars abducts Venus, allied with Pluto and Eris, and works out a plan involving a bamboo tower high enough for the soldiers of the Thracian King to attack Jupiter in the high Olympus.
The movie starts really fun: At the beginning Vulcan has to go through on Earth is to deal with "lizardmen" who are normal people in the cheapest costumes. But after that, unfortunately, it goes steeply downhill. Funny encounters and fights are also missing; it's just enough to beat up a few cavemen. The "plan" of the villains never makes any decisive progress, so that they are degraded to a completely static existence, and Vulcan's ramblings also seem senseless and aimless. Here is a real peplum fight between giants of strength and evil. Usually, in peplums, the gods tend to be background characters, influencing and directing the destinies of the heroes of ancient times. This time, it is the opposite; a story about battles between the most powerful in the universe. The leading role was by the hunk Iloosh Khoshabe was born in in Iran (1932-2012). He was a mediocre actor, known for The Seven Tasks of Ali Baba (1962), The Invincible Brothers Maciste (1964) and Hercules, Samson & Ulysses (1963). Costars by Sword and Sandals regular Roger Browne who was a popular as well as untalented player at the time, a mediocre actor who couldn't carry a rickety product like this. He starred some spy movies , such as: Rififi in Amsterdam, Operazione poker, Operation Mogador and 'Superseven chiama Cairo' that was the previous entry of Superseven also directed by Lenzi. And special mention for the foloowing: the ever gorgeous Bella Cortez who shows off in the usual dance, in fact the Cuban Chelo was a cabaret artist when she was discovered for the cinema; the very beautiful and erotic Annie Gorassini (8½ by Fellini) , the American actor and bodybuilder Gordon Mitchell (Maciste the Colossus,), who starred in many Speghetti Westerns, and comic relief is provided by the little guy Salvatore Fumari who played several Peplum in similar roles.
Vulcano, figlio di Giove(1962) stans out the brilliant and luminous cinematography by Mario Parapetti shot on location in Iran and Lacio, Rome, Italy. As well as the evocative and catching musical score by Marcello Giombini. The motion picture was average but professionally directed by italian filmmaker Emmimmo Salvi .This craftsman wrote and directed all kinds of genres , such as : Peplum/Adventures : Seven Adventures of Ali Baba or Le 7 fatiche di Alì Babà , Titan versus Vulcanus , david and Goliath , Giant of Metropolis or Il gigante di Metropolis , Treasure of the Petrified Forest , Sinbad and the seven Saracens ; Spaghetti : Wanted Johnny Texas , Three bullets for Ringo ; Monster movie : Un gangster venuto da Brooklyn ; Eurospy : None But the Lonely Spy . Rating : 5.5/10. Regular but acceptable Peplum , only for hardcore aficionados and completists. It remains an overall unfortunately mediocre overall impression.

Venus, the goddess of beauty (Annie Gorassini) is at it again, cavorting with the sons of mortal men. This causes great consternation for her father, Jupiter. One of Venus' toy-boy titan's, Vulcan (Iloosh Khoshabe aka: Rod Flash) finds himself hurled to Earth, and caught up in all sorts of conflict between gods, humans, and lizard men!
VULCAN, SON OF JUPITER is an utterly preposterous movie that is nonetheless extremely entertaining. From the laughable lizard men, to the world's most annoying "little person", this movie is a riot! The final battle features the god, Mars vs. Vulcan showdown, as well as Venus vs. Aetna! Oh my!
Fans of Hercules, Samson, etc. Will probably love this...

The Roman Gods take center stage in this one with an old fashioned Olympic triangle taking place at the home of the Gods. Venus, the God of beauty and love is making a play for Vulcan and she's got him panting hot and heavy after her. That upsets Mars and Jupiter banishes all three to earth to sort it all out.
Vulcan finds himself a nice earthly mortal who rivals Venus for her beauty, but he still doesn't like Mars. And Mars has got himself a Tower of Babel like scheme whereby he allies himself with some earthly despots to build a tower as tall as Olympus. Can Vulcan stop him in time from challenging Jupiter himself?
The Greeks and Romans did not believe in one all seeing and all pervasive spirit like Deity. They liked their immortals with all the, dare I say it, human frailties built in. The idea for the film is an interesting one, but the roles would require some classically trained actors, not people who are used to peplum spectacles.

This is one of those movies that is so bad it instantly becomes a classic fun film. This is a movie where so much happens you won't be bored, it just keeps moving onward throwing monsters, gods, and myths in every which way at such a rate that you have to keep watching because you simply can't believe whats been thrown into the stew. Watch the film, preferably on a rainy afternoon when its the perfect time for a movie.
