Sinbad must recover five magical stones to free the city of Basra from the evil spell cast by a wizard.
His journey takes him to the isle of the Amazons where the queen tries to capture him, to a battle with ghost warriors on the isle of the dead, and ultimately to a battle with his own double.....
You know your in good company when the Cannon group logo appears for a film, and much like every film released by them, good or bad, you know what you are going to get, thanks to the title, and knowing that the only actor in this film you have heard of is Ferrigno.
Yes, the film is all kinds if bad, from the script, to the choreography, the awful acting and overacting of the cast, its a poor film.
But it's never boring, not for one minute.
When Sinbad escapes from a dungeon using deadly snakes as a rope, you give up all hope of watching a movie in the vein of the Harryhausen classics, and settle for men in very bad costumes.
Ferrigno, buff as he is, has no screen presence whatsoever. His lines are delivered flatly, and he has the same look on his face throughout the whole movie. His little speech to the animatronic, or finger puppet reptiles, is the single most funniest part of the film.
And I've not even mentioned the rock monster who tries to kill our hero by hugging him.
So, now we know, and probably the studio also knew that Ferrigno is the cheap Schwarzeneggar, who's great idea was it to have him fight himself at the end?
Even though I hadn't eaten all day, I felt stuffed at the end of this epic battle because of all the ham on screen.
Jafar has to be seen to be believed, he is brilliant because he is so over the top, but its impossible to describe his part.
All in all its a terrible film, but any aspiring filmmaker needs to see it, so you never make the same mistake..
