Hercules Against the Mongols (Italian: Maciste contro i mongoli/ Maciste Against the Mongols) is a 1963 Italian peplum film directed by Domenico Paolella.[1][2] Filmed in Eastmancolor.

Plot

The heirs of Genghis Khan conquered the city of Tudela and took prisoner Bianca (José Greci), the daughter of the king. Hercules (Maciste (Mark Forest) in the original version of the film) is sent to the rescue.

Cast

Referenced multiple times in John Green's Crash Course World History Series on YouTube. He commonly exemplifies how the Mongols are the exception to many generalizations about civilization. Afterwards, a three-second clip of a village raid from this movie is shown.
