#monsterdon At the beginning of the film, the adventure started when they found that medallion and went way off course.
I wonder what their original course was. Are people still waiting for them at their original destination?
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974) - 2/5
A canonical "not for me" movie that was still bearable
This ending is some Game of Thrones King Bran energy
"...and I completely forgot the way to the Fountain of Youth so we don't live for hundreds of years like decadent vampires"
Ladies and gentlemen, ALEC GUINNESS!
The Helmet of Plastic Surgery.
@SnoopJ Yeah these riches seem pretty told.
Get a bag of flour!
A tin of paint!
Throw paint on him, Sinbad! It's your only hope!
#monsterdon Feel like this shield of darkness could be defeated by a splash of mud
congratulations: god is dead and we killed him
Either this is oddly romantic or I've spent too much time at Deviantart
Koura, who turned water into piss
Don't try to drink from it, you have to have a tricorder to disable the forcefield. #monsterdon
I really thought Vizier was only gonna have one eye and that was gonna be the thing that wigged out the islanders. But nope, just fugly.
(damn, this thunderstorm straight up louder than the movie. fingers crossed for my power. π€ )
Oh, he's got his Shenmue amulet assembled
Big "dropped my phone down a ravine" energy
I love these multi-monster movies where #Monsterdon is losing its mind for the Creatures and just when I think it's crested, a new Creature emerges
DANGIT! am late to #monsterdon but am gonna watch anyways. didnβt know it has the creepy Doctorβ¦
This is all very 'Temple Of Doom'
is it IN the statue?
Kali is like, "...Bitch."
The Lemurians are gamma-irradiated. Don't make them angry. You wouldn't like them when they're angry.
tfw the thief kills your homunculus twice
Ha! Tie up your camel. Okay that was both a solid joke AND a good callback. Sinbad's got my vote.
"Come on, men, trust in Allah!"
[pants fall down, men burst into laughter]
"β¦but tie up your camel"
"Kiiiiirk! Captain Kiiiiirk!"
"No, wrong set."
"Sorry, sorry, my bad."
Remake of this movie purely from the POV of the homunculi
I think if a figurehead had ever come alive and attacked the crew of a ship, sales of figureheads on boats would decline in the near future.
Holding a gigantic bong
"Master, would you like some Pedialyte?"
Boy this magic stuff really takes a lot out of Koura, huh?
the light of the fire reflecting on the creature, top work!
You can rely on Tom Baker to emote "jacking into a wooden figurehead and causing a ruckus" , can't you?
Harryhausen Creature!
"Once before. And we crashed. And most of the other guys died."
Itβs a map!
Please, enter our stone vagina.
Every black art. Black macrame. Black watercolors. You name it.
a random website tells me the average film budget in 1978 was about $5M, and Wikipedia points out that this movie coming in just shy of $1M was a small budget for the time
in light of this, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much value they're getting on their money. really effective filmmaking tbh
the budget was $982,351 dollars (1973 dollars) according to Wikipedia
ETA: that's about $7M today.
see, this is what happens when you don't set your phone to Boat Mode
OMG just as i thought the TinTin factor couldnβt get worse in this movie, they give us green weirdos with every asian symbol imaginable screaming in tongues before a metal Kali busts out a move for the creepy Doctor.
zoom meetings would burn you out in ancient times
Meanwhile my cat just carried an ice cube from one end of the house down to my computer room so she could show me how she plays with it.
#Monsterdon
the orientalism⦠it burns
"Hey. Hey! Hold your camels." -Shaq
Tie up your camels!!
#Monsterdon #Kazaam
Okay, this one was actually watchable, if a bit slow to get going. Kalimation sequence was very choice. #Monsterdon #Sinbad1973 #GoldenVoyage1973
Yeah I think I'm taking my camel outta here. Good job, people, just one last task as always;
Was THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1974) the WORST #MONSTERDON MOVIE of the year?
"But tie up your camel!" Hahaha they brought it back. πͺ π«
#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyageofSinbad
The crew fucks off into the ocean with one last "Trust in Allah (but tie up your camel)"
That was a lot of fun!
A tie up your camel comedic rule of thirds
She has a huge wardrobe, and I donβt remember seeing her luggage come aboard.
PISS FOUNTAIN
So... are they just gonna leave the Fountain of Youth there without takin a sip?

What was the point of this voyage again? I forgot
#monsterdon Ok, I've got my hat, we're done here.
I didn't have a Griffin vs Cyclops Centaur on my bingo card.
@bryanhowell Lawful Neutral
Harryhausen Sinbad!
Are we clear on which monster is "good" and "evil" in this equation? I don't think i'd invite either out for a drink.
Help a Gryphon out?!
Wow man Caroline's tits steal the fucking show
I regret nothing
β¦yeah, but what about the casual racism and slavery?
Boom and now her outfit is different. Oops. Continuity!
ohhh he wasn't worried about getting his vital life-force drained because the treasure at the end of the mcguffin path was the fountain of youth
huh
Cyclops _and_ a centaur?! #monsterdon
@crowbriarhexe this whole movie is just a really elaborate alka-seltzer commercial
"Shall receive in turn....a Β£50 gift voucher to Argos"
I've already "tied my camel", does that count?
"I will take this back to the British Museum!"
#Monsterdon
Achmed... go now. GET TO THE CHOPPA!
guy was packing the vial of sunny D #monsterdon
Can you be racist towards a mythical race? Feeling the Lemurians are getting a rough portrayal here!
Okay is it racist if the islanders are GREEN? I need a ruling on the field for this one.
awww, lost another little fella!
"Perhaps it is our destiny to be buried alive."
"Perhaps it's YOUR destiny to shut the hell up, Debbie Downer."
Okay guys we're going to that Wicca shop upstate
Holy crap they summoned Tim the Sorcerer.
"Look, everything going forward is going to be dangerous. Okay?" #monsterdon
and the definitely-not-slave followed, breasting boobily
Find you a man who loves you like Achmed.
"Master, what is this?"
"It's Grape Kool-Aid. I must summon... the Kool-Aid Man."
"ohhh oh no!"
"OH YEAH!"
Both the wooden creature and Tom Baker are great in this battle! #Monsterdon
"Return! Return!"
*It goes back to its spot under the mast"
"Not like that!"
Quick! Throw termites at it! It's our only hope!
@crowbriarhexe legal issues /j
Mask guy: [mumbling] Wcnntslntthsfgwllbsmshdtbts
Sinbad: What?
Mask guy: [mumbling] Wcnntslntthsfgwllbsmshdtbts!!!
Sinbad: β¦
kid understands what's up, he doesn't want to get Harryhausen-ed and promptly splits
Meanwhile, #Monsterdon roaring with approval as the big wooden lady kills a guy
Sinbad's new exSlave cabinmate (Caroline Munro) was also in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) with Roger Moore.
