Reception


In a retrospective review, Jeremy Wheeler (AllMovie) stated described the film as "Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off that did its homework" noting that it directly stole dialogue and scenes from the film including the snake pit scene and a kidnapping in an open market with laundry baskets. The review concluded to not "expect much else from this cheap Italian knock-off."[2]
