The scene perfectly encapsulates the overtly kinky tone of these types of scenes. Just a couple weeks ago I uploaded such a scene from THE MIGHTY URSUS (below). In fact, it would probably be easier to list the few films that don't have such scenes. It would pointless to enumerate all the films which have some of these scenes. They are so common that they are, imo, synonymous with PEPLUM cinema. Practically every PEPLUM film has a torture scene, or whippings, or some extremely elaborate test of strength our hero has to endure to overcome the obstacles set up by evil villains. I explained this in great details during the past weeks, with HERCULES being the ultimate example of this trend.Īnother aspect that is primarily seen in films of the PEPLUM genre is the kinky overtones. This trend started back in the silent era and came to complete fruition during the Golden Era of the genre, between 19. One of the them is the prevalence of overly muscular men wearing as little as possible (left, a muscular extra seen in QUEEN OF SHEBA). There are many aspects of the PEPLUM genre which appear to be entirely innate to it, aspects rarely seen in other genres. Well, maybe not in movies released to theatres but the tradition is still on-going with cable TV shows such as SPARTACUS series or GAME OF THRONES. Continuing with the discussion of how the PEPLUM genre helped in disrobing the human body in the world of cinema that eventually led to more explicit productions in the late 1960s and 1970s, something which has lasted up to today.
