The Mongols (I mongoli) is a 1961 Italian/French co-production historical adventure film directed by Andre DeToth and Leopoldo Savona. It starred Jack Palance, Anita Ekberg, Antonella Lualdi, Franco Silva, Gianni Garko and Roldano Lupi. Mario Nascimbene composed the soundtrack.During the invasion of Poland by Mongol hordes in 1240 as the latter lay siege to the city of Kraków, a conflict between Emperor Genghis Khan (Roldano Lupi) and his oldest son, the cruel Ögedei (Jack Palance), ensues when the former aims for peace and the latter itches for war and conquest.Not to be confused with Mongol, a more recent and overall more accurate portrayal of Genghis Khan and his conquests. | |

The Dreaded: The Mongols are feared throughout Europe. Doesn't prevent the Poles from trying to stop them when there's no other choice. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Ögedei would never stoop so low as to kill his own father Genghis Khan, and when Hulina does it, he vows to execute her once he'll be done with Poland. | |

Toppled Statue: A Virgin Mary statue is seen being dragged behind a horse by the Mongols in the first Polish town they invade, to show that they're clearly not there to respect Christianity. | |

Yellowface | |
| The Mongols / int_4a875876 | comment |
Yellowface: As with The Conqueror a few years prior (though less infamously due to the film not being as well known), none of the actors playing Mongols, starting with Jack Palance, was of Mongol or East Asian descent. The film surely capitalized on Palance's unusual face that was made to look Asian-ish (it resulted from reconstructive surgery after a war injury). | |

Artistic License – History | |
| The Mongols / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Genghis Khan died in 1227 (not 1240) while besieging the rebellious Western Xia in China, he never went to Poland. And the exact cause of his death remains a mystery, attributed to either illness, being killed in action or from wounds sustained in hunting or battle, while here he's stabbed In the Back by Ögedei's paramour. In Real Life, Ögedei was Genghis' third son, not his first son. Although historically disregarded in comparison to his father, especially on account of his alcoholism, he was known to be good-natured, something his portrayal as a cruel Blood Knight and Warhawk here clearly isn't. One of Genghis Khan's sons here is named Temüjin. Temüjin was Genghis Khan himself (his birth name), not one of his sons. | |
