I was watching the intro to an old movie called 'hands of the ripper' and it featured a common old movie introduction. Half naked oily muscleman swinging an enormous mallet to strike a 10' diameter gong.
I was wondering something: if that was real wouldn't that guy's eardrums explode? :D
That is a 70s Hammer classic. I quite liked it. I don't consider a film 'old' unless it is from the 40s or earlier. :D
