* AnnoyingArrows: Maciste is hit with an arrow just below his collarbone. He feigns death, then sits up and just yanks the arrow from his flesh. Afterwards, the wound seems nothing more than a minor annoyance and barely bleeds, although a faint mark can be seen on his chest throughout the film.

unheroic; indeed, at first he refuses to get involved in the local conflict. Admittedly, it's because he feels a responsibility to the refugees he's shepherding, and he does voice a desire to return and help the locals once the refugees are safe. However, he doesn't actually tell Amoa this, leaving her to think he's just a coward.
