Interesting facts

Ator 2 – L'invincibile Orion, or The Blade Master, is a 1982 Italian sword and sorcery film directed by Joe D'Amato, and starring Miles O'Keeffe as Ator, Charles Borromel as Akronos, Lisa Foster as Mila, and David Brandon as Zor.

Production

In early 1983, a few months after Ator, the Fighting Eagle was a commercial success, D'Amato embarked on a new project, casting Miles O'Keeffe again as the lead and Lisa Foster as his partner. D'Amato and scriptwriter José Maria Sanchez, who had already worked on the first Ator film, prepared a prehistoric film in the vein of the successful Academy Award–winning French film Quest for Fire (1981). The working title was Adamo ed Eva.

O'Keeffe starred in Ator 2 instead. D'Amato commented that "Ator 2 was made in great haste and almost without a script," and includes footage from the first Ator film in the form of flashbacks. D'Amato said they made it to take advantage of a contract they had with Miles O'Keeffe.
