Goliath has been celebrated as an "action hero" in [[Italy|Italian]] [[motion picture|cinema]], and in this regard continues to illustrate the Biblical statement that certain giant-sized men, called [[Nephilim]], were "the mighty men that were of old, men of renown."<ref>{{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=6|verses=1-4|version=NASB}}</ref>
