Synopsis:
Ursus was a super-human Biblical/ Roman character who was used as the hero in a series of Italian adventure films made in the 1960's. They were later dubbed in English and shown on American TV, some of them as part of the "Sons Of Hercules" Saturday afternoon series. Ursus was referred to as a "Son of Hercules" in several of the films when they were dubbed in English (in an attempt to cash in on the then-popular Italian Hercules film series), although in the original Italian films, Ursus had no connection to Hercules whatsoever. In one film, Ursus was actually referred to throughout the film as "Hercules" in the English-dubbed version ("Hercules, Prisoner of Evil", 1964). There were a total of 9 Italian films that featured Ursus as the main character.
