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?

Chekovs eyeball painting.
#Monsterdon

I'm wondering if the Marilith demons from D&D might have been inspired by the Kali statue in this film - since they also do the multi-armed sword thing (except that they have the lower body of snakes).

But that might be wrong... maybe they're directly based on some religious/mythological character.

#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

@jonny my thoughts exactly

#Monsterdon

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

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

#Monsterdon

Don't worry, Lara Croft can handle this. #monsterdon

Only my vial of Mountain Dew can save us now

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

This is probably the clearest information anyone has ever gotten from an oracle in history

#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

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

#monsterdon

"Shit, didn't mean for the whole thing to come down.....sorry!"

#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

@rdm as villainous masterminds, he's really one of the best to work for. He also offers dental, parental leave, and a 401k.

#Monsterdon⁩ ⁨#GoldenVoyage1973

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

Cool caverns 👁️👄👁️

#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.”

#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1973

"....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.

A homunculus is a small artificial human or human-like being.[1] Popularized in 16th-century alchemy and 19th-century fiction, it has historically been referred to as the creation of a miniature, fully formed human or humanoid being. The concept has roots in preformationism as well as earlier folklore and alchemic traditions.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Land ho, versus Watery Tart…

The exposure and depth of field are really good. #monsterdon

Can't you summon anything bigger, Koura? I'm not trying to imply anything, but... okay I am trying to imply something.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Yikes, bit Self Harm'y

Listen to Achmed, he's your friend

#Monsterdon

"Mandrake root and a few chemicals is all that is needed"

is a real "and now, MAXIMUM ENERGY" type line IMO

#Monsterdon

"drink the bongwater Achmed, drink it!"

#Monsterdon

@cd0 In a Harryhausen film, the point of the whole film is we get to see some badass stop motion creatures. Never a surprise to have a weird random scene with a weird little clay thing.

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad1973

Slave Girl, slavin' away 😬

#Monsterdon

Lute strumming? In this economy?

#monsterdon

@cd0

Koura is losing his asphyx

#Monsterdon

YET ANOTHER LIFE FORCE TROPE
THEYRE INESCAPABLE YALL
#monsterdon

@moira Tom returned for many seasons!

#monsterdon

To resolve our boat chase, Koura opens his spellbook and does a spooky chant.

Meanwhile the hot son is drinking on the deck to show again how irresponsible he is and hanging out near the figurehead, when the later is animated by Koura's evil magic. The hot son runs away then the figurehead yeets a nameless sailor into the sea.

The other sailors try to fight it with harpoons, which seems like an okay idea, but it doesn't work because the figurehead is wood.

#monsterdon

Once again, the compositing! THE COMPOSITING!

A New Hope didn’t look this good!

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad1973

I was really expecting Sinbad to reason with it

#monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

Good lord how long does it take to raise the alarm on this ship?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Just yeet that guy overboard.

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974 #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

Hey! That's my good rope! Strangle my guys if you must but I just spent all day coiling that rope!

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Oh good another haunted figurehead, MY FAVE.
#monsterdon

@cocaine_owlbear #Monsterdon loves a flappy little guy.

"Just hit the breaks, and he'll fly right by."

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

So we get to see the Evil Boat, which is chasing Sinbad's good boat. It seems like it's a little less colorful but fairly similar in configuration. Maybe a little lower on the stern castle.

#monsterdon

So far I am loving this #movie, primarily for the
- cheezy characters,
- goofy dialog, and
- fantastic costumes and setting!

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

@arrjay if you think about it, a P.A. is just an electronic loud person

#Monsterdon

@crowbriarhexe it's on his onlyfans

#Monsterdon

This is EXACTLY like Master and Commander!

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Sinbad has sent more pirates to the bottom of the sea than I can count... so like five.
#monsterdon

DAY POSING AS NIGHT!

#Monsterdon

have you ever gotten so stoned you got sold to a pirate ship going on a treasure voyage #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Every voyage has it's own flavor. This one is hot leather in bright sunshine rubbed with fenugreek.”

Erik Estrada realizes he's at sea

#Monsterdon

the name is misleading, lemuria does not have even a single lemur. food was good though. two stars

#Monsterdon

the crew feels pretty meh about Lemuria, best pick real places for a destination

#Monsterdon

How can we jam another proverb into the dialogue. Ah, here's a spot.

@katemarblez.bsky.social welp, you're just in time for #Monsterdon !

Today is that day of the week that the Mastos turn to Monsters.

:pika:

A palm tattoo fucking hurts I bet

#Monsterdon

Oh man this movie is about a boat race. That means there is not just one boat, but two boat. Awesome.

Very excited to see the evil boat in this movie.

#monsterdon

Isn't that the guy who just left?

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

Were you aware?

When you connect two round flat shiny things together, the translucent dancing girls that live inside them kiss.

Hrm, we have a Quest Item to be assembled

We are now one step closer to completing the mystic golden trivet. Soon our dishes will be powerless to scorch our fine tables and countertops.

I want a tony winged homunculus to do my bidding, is that so wrong? They don't have souls, it's fine....
