Another of a seemingly inexhaustible back catalogue of films from the stop motion guru Ray Harryhausen.
Plot: On this occasion we follow Mr Sinbad-Patrick Wayne (in the third Harryhausen installment), he's a sailor and the prince of Baghdad. Turns out he fancies a Princess (Jane Seymour) and is all set to marry her, when the Princess's brother (about to be crowned Caliph) is turned into a baboon by their Wicked step mum. So, they hop on Sinbad's ship and head out to find a cure. Along the way they encounter ghouls, a very large killer wasp, a bronze minotaur, a giant walrus, a troglodyte and a saber toothed tiger.
All good clean fun here. Sinbad and the two films before it are a trilogy unlike any other we might see today and mores the pity. They are fun from beginning to end!
Budget: $3,500,000
Fun Fact: For all you Dr Who geeks out there, the 2nd Doctor- Patrick Troughton is also in this gem.
