@Violinknitter poor little fella... #Monsterdon

"It's a race then, a duel!"

Oh, the drama! :blobfoxfloofcute:

I'm on-board with this.

#Monsterdon

Team Homunculus

#Monsterdon

Ooh, interesting use of planets and constellations. It might be legit navigation?

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

Damn stop motion spies. You put out traps but they're too smart to eat from them. #monsterdon

enjoying the map that centres the Indian Ocean, must have been quite progressive for the 70s, that and admitting there are OTHER religions on Earth as well.../s

#Monsterdon

OMG it's the other half of my fwendship amulet!!
#monsterdon

Also, our villain apparently casts from hp

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

Where's the part where he meets Princess Jasmine?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

It's amazing how the trees and beaches of ancient Arabia look nothing like Southern California.

@ohiofi #monsterdon #WrongSinbad

They're not as good as they were 3000 years ago.

Did the kid take Shaq to a concert to try and get him laid??
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

@paco OMG I DID HEAR IT RIGHT WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE ??
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

Can this kid find the Wishmaster instead of Shaq? I want to see his wishes turned into an ironic death.
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

Kazaam... Okay I guess I'm gonna hal watch this now. After I clean up a dish and get more juice. Or maybe alcohol. This movie might require alcohol
#Monsterdon #Kazaam

That was a legitimately enjoyable film, made all the better by watching it with all of you, fellow denizens of #Monsterdon.

Thank you for hosting, @Taweret, as always. Have a great week everyone!

Once more, thanks @Taweret for hosting, and to all the #Monsterdon -ians for making it 10x more amusing with your commentary!

Well praise be to Harryhausen and @Taweret we survived another one

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyageOfSinbad

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

🦖Exciting movie and hysterical Real-Time Film Analysis! Thank you everyone. Apologies to the many I was not able to acknowledge during intense scrolls. So much good stuff!

❤️ And thank you @Taweret for hosting this freaky fantasy! Your efforts are appreciated! Still getting used to 'Void Chicken'

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Monsterdon praises Harryhausen". Yes!

Kind of disappointing face, to be honest. I guess they couldn't afford Omar Sharif. #Monsterdon

"Hey how come MY reflection doesn't have a cool hat?"

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

"you see if you drop the golden thing in the fountain of youth, it will glow yellow if evil and purple if good. it's just quantum chromodynamics."

#monsterdon

the fountain of piss turns briefly to a fountain of blood, before reflecting an absolutely dripped-out version of Sinbad

#Monsterdon

correction: we get an explanation it just doesn't make sense. the centaur is evil and the gryphon is good and this is all a prophecy that the audience didn't pay attention too.

Anyway the centaur wins and then Sinbad jumps on top of it and starts stabbing it.

#monsterdon

that's a loooooot of blood

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

😄 this is a competent use of chroma-keying; I can give credit where due

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

"It just arrived! I've got him now...." #monsterdon

I bet Tom Baker is actually trained in swords

#Monsterdon

After being young again, Koura decides he's sick of Sinbad existing and summons the Cyclops-Centaur to whack him with a baseball bat while the One Girl Watches, unable to do stuff for unclear reasons.

Then we decide to have a bonus monster and a Fuzzy Gryphon comes through the second gate to challenge the Centaur because of some ancient enmity or something. This is not explained.

#monsterdon

if I was the mask guy I would run over to the magic fountain and heal my face while all this was going on

#monsterdon

boo hiss!

#Monsterdon

MOOOOOOM THEY’RE FIGHTING AT YOSEMITEHENGE AGAIN
#Monsterdon

Motaro DIDN'T use a Duraclub™

Now look at him

#Monsterdon

I too enjoy chanting at a good stonehenge fountain.

#monsterdon

The centaur is like "Uh, shit, Sinbad, you wanna go halfsies on this monster? A little truce? Trucey-truce?"

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

#monsterdon Okay, so now we have a real man/horse walk onto the scene.

The Cyclops Minotaur has a quality head of hair.

#monsterdon

MONOTAUR!

#Monsterdon

Always has to be the centaur of attention that one.

#Monsterdon

After tripping on things, Koura finds "The Fountain of Destiny" which is a geyser surrounded by a stonehenge in a cave. Which I guess is a nice water feature.

All the sorcery has made him weak, so he has to crawl toward the fountain and awkwardly push his flat golden things into it.

#monsterdon

Meanwhite at cyclops henge…

#monsterdon

Maybe don't sneak up on the nervous new guy while he's got a sword.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

That Sinbad, he's a class act.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Bring the whole family to Stonehenge's Waterpark and Lazer Tag

#Monsterdon

Ugh its the fountain from that star trek were picard and wesley were super thirsy for 45 minutes. #monsterdon

Ankh!

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

@SnoopJ i feel like Harryhausen plays a subtle trick where he makes the animation smoother as the movie progresses #monsterdon

Wow you made me expose my burned face as a distraction? I thought we were friends.
#Monsterdon

It's Davros!

#monsterdon

Who wore it better?
#monsterdon

Chekov's eye

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

this is gonna me like that scene in Jabba's palace huh?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

The green body paint budget alone ran into the thousands.
#Monsterdon

I love how everyone knows what's going on

#Monsterdon

She's the who and what now?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Chekovs eyeball painting.
#Monsterdon

okay I legit had to stop typing to watch that fight. That was badass.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

It's over Kali! II have the high---

DAMMIT!

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad

never bring a sword to a 6 handed swordfight with a magical bronze statue

#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 I'm calling them the Hindu Orions. #monsterdon

Sinbad took too long getting here and will have to try again with a quicker playthrough

#Monsterdon

Fortunately, the cave temple has a chimney that we can shoot a large arrow through, carrying a rope made out of clothes to escape. I like this scene... I feel like if a modern movie that recreated it would probably do so with very un-concrete CGI.

The bat friend tries to stop our escape, but then gets shot itself. RIP bat friend (again).

#monsterdon

I sincerely hope there was an outake of this where Kali is doing the hustle #monsterdon

Hah animating a statue of a god just to make it dance

This is some nonsense

#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

WOW

👏👏👏

#Monsterdon

This isn't racist it's very cultural
#monsterdon

The Hindu gods do look awesome though, gotta give them that...

#Monsterdon

Only my vial of Mountain Dew can save us now

#Monsterdon

A thousand years later Captain Kirk would discover the valley of the green dancing girls and retire from Starfleet.

#monsterdon #goldenvoyage1973 #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

@Blort "Their culture is strange and barbaric, their words are nonsense!" #Monsterdon

oh no we're about to do some racism aren't we

#monsterdon

and now for your federally-mandated racism interlude

#Monsterdon

Nice shot!

But also, awwwwww, little evil demon 👿

#monsterdon #goldenvoyage1973 #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

I forgor to check DoesTheDemonDie.com !!

#monsterdon

I aged after making that joke

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ It helps that he's not overwrought in eg: a Jar-Jar way

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

Awwwwe poor little abomination. #monsterdon

So far the only evil things we've seen Koura do are A) yeeting a sailor into the sea with a figurehead monster and B) destroy a cultural heritage to entomb some living people.

#monsterdon

@arrjay all your temple are belong to us

#Monsterdon

nice bit of teamwork and problem solving, well done everyone

#Monsterdon

Caroline: I'm wearing a g-string, will that help?
#monsterdon

lol "Tie up your camel!"

#Monsterdon

Glad Sinbad brought his multi-tool. It's in his everyday carry kit.

#monsterdon

Don't worry my compatriots! I'm sure the writers gave us some means of escape!
#Monsterdon

"Go north!"
*Kaboom* *Explosions and collapse*
"Okay, let's try south!"

#monsterdon

"I'll use my dynamite!"

"Magic dynamite, Master?"

"....Sure. Whatever."

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Umm, Oracle - I got the "go north" part, but could you run through all that again?

#monsterdon

"And death shall come for you all! With nasty big pointy teeth!"

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Exploring the islands we find "the temple of many faces" which has an oracle inside who knows everything.

Not sure why the Oracle is seemingly alone on this island. Maybe he got sick of people asking him questions so he just decided to be antisocial and hang out by himself in this cave temple.

#monsterdon

Is the guardian beatboxing...?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Both team good and team evil are exploring this island today, giving us an Island Exploration Sequence.

I would watch a movie that was all about exploring islands and uncovering ancient ocean mysteries.

#monsterdon

awww, there's the little fella, scuttling around on his evil mission...awwww

#Monsterdon

“Mandrake Linux and a few chemicals is all that is needed.”

"....had to lug this fucking box up a cliff...."

#Monsterdon

Dangerous?

Yes, but we won't leave anyone to guard the boat!

#monsterdon

"Dangerous? Dangerous?! You never told me it would be dangerous!"

[with shit-eating grin] "You didn't ask"

#Monsterdon

Lemuria is infested with Jawas. Got it.
