John Richardson (born 19 January 1934 in Worthing, Sussex) is an English actor, who appeared in movies from the 1950s until the 1990s.

He appeared in many Italian films, including Mario Bava's Black Sunday (1960). His best-known role was perhaps in One Million Years B.C. (1966), in which he played the hero who fell in love with Raquel Welch. Another notable role was Killikrates/Leo Vincey in the fantasy/adventure film She alongside Ursula Andress, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Bernard Cribbins. Richardson was the only actor to reprise his role in the sequel The Vengeance of She.

He had small roles in the remake of The 39 Steps (1959); Tender is the Night (1962) as a young man, uncredited; and in On A Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970) with Barbra Streisand.

He was, at one point, considered for the role of James Bond, when Sean Connery first left but lost out to George Lazenby.

In medieval Germany, the Teutonic Knights massacre a village of supposed "witches" and build the titular structure over their dead bodies. In the present day, the church's new librarian (Tomas Arana) breaks the seal of the crypt out of curiosity and releases the evil spirits contained beneath it. At the same time, the church's automated mechanisms, which were set up by the architect who built the church, are triggered, causing the doors to close and trapping everyone inside, including a group of visitors. Father Gus (Hugh Quarshie), the only person not affected by the demons, eventually finds the way to make the church collapse on itself but dies in the process of doing so. Before the movie ends, Lotte (Asia Argento), the sacristan's daughter and the sole survivor of the incident, is seen walking towards the ruins of the church. She finds the seal of the crypt, opens it and peers inside. Blue light emits from within, just like when the librarian first opened it, and she smiles.

Après dix ans de vie commune, émaillés de nombreuses tromperies mutuellement convenues, un couple bourgeois semble au bord de la séparation. À vrai dire, c'est plutôt Livio (Ugo Tognazzi) qui se sent sérieusement menacé. Jean-Claude, le nouvel amant de sa femme Liza (Monica Vitti), a effectivement tout pour plaire : jeune, beau, sportif et... milliardaire. Feignant d'être un mari compréhensif et moderne, Livio invite son rival pour un week-end entre amis... où justement on déjeunera autour du ponctuel anatra all'arancia (canard à l'orange). Toutefois, et à seule fin d'attiser la jalousie de Liza, Livio a également convié son éblouissante secrétaire, Patty (Barbara Bouchet). De cette façon, peut-être, la jalousie et le courroux changeront de côté.

A beautiful young European girl, Carol, is drawn through mental telepathy to the ancient lost city of Kuma, there to become the reincarnation of its lost former ruler, Ayesha, and consort of her predecessor's lover, Kallikrates. In return, Men-Hari, a member of the Magi, the ancient Chaldean race of wise men, will also be allowed to enter the sacred flame and become immortal, which will expand his already formidable mental powers to the point where he will be able to take over the entire world. To achieve this, however, he must bring Carol to Kallikrates before the sacred flame is ignited during a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical alignment. Men-Hari therefore uses his powers ruthlessly to compel Carol to come to Kuma.
