action
Mars falls out with Jupiter and goes to earth with Venus, where he wants to build a castle with the Thracians that puts Olympus in the shade. Jupiter then sends Vulcanus down, who is also in love with Venus, and goes with the beautiful Etna on the trail of the god of war. After a series of adventures, including against lizard-like creatures and underground monsters, Etna is captured and tortured by the Thracians; Vulcan can just prevent her death. Mars and Venus return to Olympus; angry now Jupiter banishes Mars back to earth.
criticism
Ronald M. Hahn , Volker Jansen, Norbert Stresau see in Vulcanus, the Titan an "undemanding bully film, which in places (voluntarily or involuntarily) tries to satirize the genre." The lexicon of international films judges similarly : "An unsuccessful attempt to to satirize the Greek legends of the gods with the means of the Italian antique film. Rather flat and sometimes more vulgar than entertaining. "
Remarks
The exterior shots were shot in Iran .
There are versions that have been enriched with some erotic scenes.
