No, The Terror of the Steppes is not a Slinky toy. We said "steppes", not "steps". Musclebound Kirk Morris trades his usual sword 'n' sandal accoutrements for Russian garb and samovar. Supposedly the film is based on historical fact, but the staging of the action sequences are pure speculation. Terror of the Steppes made it to the US in the early 1960s, riding on the crest of the Sons of Hercules wave. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
