Director

Domenico Paolella

Storyline

Queen Esperia of the Hellenes is held prisoner by the three bickering rulers of Babylon who wish her dead, but her identity among the many female prisoners is unknown. King Malik of Assyria also seeks Esperia to be his bride to gain control of her lands. Esperia's old friend Hercules comes to her rescue, but first he must overcome the schemes of the four rulers who all have their own competing agendas.

bottari.jpg
Adriano Vitale

This is a probable identification. This actor somewhat resembles Vitale, who is a familiar dancer / stuntman from peplums, but I'm not 100% certain it's him. IMDb lists a certain Eugenio Bottari in this role, with no role given for Vitale, saying he should be credited (he isn't), but then they also mis-identify several other roles. ANICA also lists Bottari, but with no role and also no role for Vitale. If this isn't Vitale then he does not appear in the film.

The 4th Henchman of Malik. The other 3 are played by high-profile stuntmen (Borgese, Cameron, Galimberti), but this one is unfamiliar (to me anyhow).

Yes, I wondered if it might be him, so if you think the same then it probably is

I thought the same, but decided that the man in the pic is too tall to be him.

You can see in the second pic I posted in his topic that he's standing on a higher level than the actors in front of him
