La vendetta di Ercole (literally Revenge of Hercules), better known as Goliath and the Dragon, is a 1960 Italian film starring Mark Forest and Broderick Crawford. The identity of the title character was changed from Hercules to Goliath for release in the United States.
The film was distributed in North America by American International Pictures. This version, the most widely seen today, was produced by James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff, with Lee Kresel serving as dubbing director. This version was significantly re-edited and contains a stop-motion dragon sequence by Jim Danforth and Wah Chang, which was not part of the original release.[1] This version was remastered and distributed by Something Weird Video.
