a5c7b9f00b An evil desert bandit kidnaps the son of a sultan and raises himhis own. It turns out that the son has magic powers and is invincible. Years later,a young man, he falls in love with a woman and is preparing to raid a village–when he finds out that the woman is actually his brother&#39;s fiance and the village belongs to his real father. Mark Forest is Kindar this time. At least he&#39;s not named Hercules/Maciste or one of the many other strongman names this time. The character is basically the exact sameall of his other roles - a musclebound dude, star of the picture that kicks butt on screen while trying to flex all his muscles for the viewers. But this time he&#39;s in an Arabic flavored setting but still showing off his pecks. Oh he has magical powers this time.<br/><br/>Same routine stuff: our &quot;hero&quot; has a love interest, there is an evil bandit (sometimes a evil King or Queen), he has to save the day and battles happen. He kisses the girl. The End.<br/><br/>1/10 The son of a Sultan named Siro, Kindar is born justhis mother is hit and killed by lightning. The strange happenings at his birth make Kindar invulnerable to all human attacks, save one – the mysterious red rose. But soon after his birth, Kindar is kidnapped and taken to grow upthe the son of a desert warrior and bandit named Seymuth. Seymuth&#39;s one ambition in life is to destroy Kindar&#39;s real father and his city. And with an invulnerable son at his side, no one would dare stand in his way. But before Seymuth&#39;s grand day of glory, Kindar learns the truth of his birth. Which side will Kindar choose – Siro or Seymuth? And how will the discovery of the red rose affect the events to come? <br/><br/>Something of a rare peplum, Kindar the Invulnerable is also a bit different from the standard fare. Instead of ancient Athens or Rome or Sparta, Kindar the Invulnerable is set in the deserts of North Africa. I&#39;m not sure where the movie was filmed, but it looks wonderfully authentic. The vast, empty deserts, the lush oasis, and the walled city of Uthera – it&#39;s a nice change of pace from the normal scenes of coliseums and chariot races. Another plus for me was the acting. While Mark Forest is basically &quot;the body&quot; the role of Kindar calls for, he&#39;sgoodany of the muscle-bound would-be actors that populated these peplums. In fact, I was actually a bit impressed with his acting prowess. The rest of the cast includes the always welcome genre favorite Rosalba Neri in a small role and Mimmo Palmara chewing more scenery than one actor has a right to in his roleSeymuth. I must admit that I was also enjoyed the performance of Dea Flowers in her one and only listed credit. I&#39;m amazed she didn&#39;t do anything else. Finally, there are a couple of moments in Kindar the Invulnerable that really caught me off guard by how well they were shot. Two of my favorites that I&#39;ll mention are Kindar&#39;s nighttime trip into the walled city and the film&#39;s finale with Kindar back home holding his one true love. That last one may be hokey, but it&#39;s a wonderful shot nonetheless. You know, other than a slow patch in the film&#39;s second act, I&#39;ve got no complaints. I&#39;ll give Kindar the Invulnerable a strong 6/10. If you&#39;re a fan of the genre, this is one worth seeking out for its uniqueness if nothing else.
