A Film Crew movie with an actual budget, “The Giant of Marathon” stars the well-oiled Steve “I’m not Hercules in this one” Reeves. Unlike most Italian sand `n sandal epics, you can actually follow the plot of this one…most of the time…as Steve wins the Olympics, tries to bag a blond hottie, wrestles a bit, gets hit on by a Vulcan hottie, throws things, runs a lot, and finally wins the day, I think. It helps that the film is well produced even if some of the dubbing is poor.

The riffs by The Film Crew are top notch from the get-go and perhaps the best of all four DVD releases. Some of the references are a bit racy for the kiddies, but that’s to be expected I suppose.The skits are fairly good, although I must admit that the picture of Bob Honcho (which is different from the other DVDs) is just too funny for words.
The Bonus Features include a sincere apology from Mike who still manages to insult a lot of people. And “commentary” from a Walter S. Ferguson who sounds suspiciously like Mike Nelsen as he describes different roles he played in the film. It’s better than the feature in “Hollywood After Dark” and that’s about it.

This is the final DVD of “The Film Crew” experiment, we’ll see if they sell well enough for more of the DVDs to be produced.
Tidbits:
- This film is presented in the “widescreen” format.
- The actual title appears to be “The Battle of Marathon” which makes more sense since Steve Reeves is pretty big but hardly a giant.
- Although no one wears a bra, perhaps some of the men in this flick should…
Like many other MiSTies out there, I was sad to see Mike and the ‘Bots fall to earth in the last ever episode of MST3K and while I kept up with Mike’s work with Legend Films (he provided hilarious commentary tracks) I held out hope that one day the show would be revived in some fashion, perhaps hitting the live college circuit. I was thrilled to discover that Mike, Bill and Kevin would once again be back in front of the cameras (or at least in the bottom right corner of your screen) doing what they do best, shredding the worst B-movie drek to crawl from Hollywood. Of the four DVD’s the Film Crew have released The Giant Of Marathon is by far the best. Oh…by the best I of course mean the WORST, The film itself could be described as a bunch of lunkheads stumbling around ancient Greece for 90 minutes. You could easily compare it to the very best episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (not an unfair comparison given the pedigree here). While it’s true you no longer have those sillouhettes to keep you company throughout these cinamatic travesties, the warped sense of humor is still there. I’ve even grown fond of the wraparound host segments now that the “characters” of Mike, Bill and Kevin have been established over the four Film Crew DVD’s. I hope they can continue to make these as each DVD is certainly worthy of several viewings. I’ve bought ‘em all and I’ll line up for the next one.
Now the question remains: What’s Joel doing these days?
