The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad 3

Pretty good. Dr. Who (Tom Baker) kept getting older every time he cast a spell or something, and "The Oracle" had a cool voice.

The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad 3

Not my favorite Sinbad movie (everybody wore turbans except him), but fun nevertheless. Every Sinbad movie has an obligatory fight between monsters at the end. The Dragon/cyclops battle is classic.

The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad 5

My earliest introduction to stop-motion animation, and still considered the grandaddy of the Sinbad flicks. Kerwin Mathews was plausible as the hero, Kathryn Grant was the prissiest of the love interests, Torin Thatcher was a riot as the befuddled magician, and Richard Eyer was the kid they paid scale to play the genie (here's forty bucks; get in the elf shoes and read your lines). But enough of them! The single-most life-altering event in my life has to be when the cyclops strides through the carved-stone mouth in the cliff. I was mesmerized from that point on! From there, it just gets better: more cyclopses, the frenetic, windy roc sequence, that fantastic dragon chained to the wall, a single skeleton battle (shades of greater things to come in JASON), and the beautiful cyclops/dragon battle in and out of the magician's fortress. Some shaky sights (the handmaiden's rubbery transformation into a half-woman/half snake), but nothing too objectionable. Best seen at the drive-in (which I did), but just as nice on the newly-reissued DVD collection. Iconic Americana.
