Anyone else catch that. Marteetee's scenes, styled to like 'Satyricon'.

I don't know about that, but I did like the Hydra-Hand :)

No I didnt notice the homage to whatever Fellini sword and magic movies from the 1980s but the whole Marteetee arena and the ash naked women reminded me of the old Deathstalker movies

I didn't understand it at all. First I thought they were captured by a nude amazon colony, then barbarians showed up, then that wierdo Marteetee was the king, it was just way over the top and confusing.

I thought this movie was refrencing Fellini!
At first I thought it was coincendence but now that you've guys noticed it too i'm beginning to think otherwise.

The Fellini reference that I noticed right off the bat was the mechanical bird. This was taken right out of Casanova, as there is a mechanical bird (which looks very similiar to the one used in this movie) who comes and goes throughout the film

A minotaur was in Satyricon too.
