Back to Sinbad. You made so many mythology movies Harryhausen. You even stuck a cyclops and a centaur and a griffin into this Arabian nights movie. But you never put a stop motion minotaur in a movie???
#Monsterdon
Sinbad: I see no shield.
Tom Selleck: β¦you will. And the company that will bring it to you: AT&T.
Der Gesit Aust ther Fleishe!!!!
Cutting room floor has 5 hours of wizard making faces
@lorgonumputz coulda been a _lot_ simworse
By standing very still, Sinbad gets the fountain to give him a cool crown. But he decides being a king is lame and so he gives the crown to Sumerian King Guy, who is probably better at kinging anyway.
For some reason, when he does this it heals the guy's face and also makes his cool mask go away. Sumerian King Guy is like "Praise be to Allah".

Hey, ya know what? That was a decent movie! #monsterdon
Denouement? Dey-sail-off!
It had Kung Fu! It had Titties! it had the Funny! It passed The Dolemite Test!
#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974 #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad
Thanks everyone, it has been a hoot!
Special thank-you to @miru for the stream.
Leaving us with the famous last words: βTie up your camel!β
Sinbad? Nah it was pretty good tbh #monsterdon
A valuable lesson was learned,
The king's face returned
And they fucked off into the sea.

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad
No brick wall ending on this one. Ends on a pratfall. #monsterdon
@OliviaVespera It should've been like USB-A, where you have to flip it around twice before it will go in
Always trust in Allah but tie up your camel.
ok got to agree with Sinbad here, I'd take Caroline over a kingdom any day #Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974
and they all fucked off into the sea #monsterdon
A fully fledged what now?
@crowbriarhexe π΅ it's the master, step in time π΅
aw, the pretty hat his friend gave him removed a bunch of doubtlessly painful scarring and helped restore his self-worth, just like their friendship itself
Allah's so happy with the guy, he gave him properly luxurious facial hair at the same time!
#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad
Ooh. It's a $100 Taco Bell giftcard! #monsterdon
And the fountain turns to piss
a real boy at last
Untold riches and melty-face cures. #Monsterdon #Sinbad1973 #GoldenVoyage1973
oh i guess so, sure why not, sinbad is just a good guy like that #monsterdon
Heyyyyy this crown fit my metal head perfectly!
Great, more metal on my head.

It's a tea hat
#monsterdon
This is the second time I watched this and the only thing I remembered was Catherine Munroβs cleavage
I wonder if Sam Raimi saw this before or after he stole all of his ideas from Hausu
#monsterdon so Sinbad can walk around in the fountain and not get youth or shield of darkness? I'm unclear on the rules here
Korra oughta go in for the choke hold.
@ottaross Pretty sure they had to keep watering her breasts too
#monsterdon
Good and Evil are both dead. True Neutral wins!
they literally have a flying monkey watching them and they don't notice the freak of nature?!?!?

oh no its the worst of all possible worlds we lost both cyclo-centaur AND griffin dangit
Thatβs a bad astigmatism
most ungulates are like herbivores right #monsterdon
One neat part of this is how they've managed to stack _so many layers_ of compositing without everything going muddy or grey. I mean, grey-er, given grey cave rocks, but still.
Rawr, and such.
Arrg, and so forth.
#monsterdon
Griffon. I knew it had a name. I did.
#monsterdon
Gryphon ex machina
Oh I see. They're exes.
Wait he can't be both a cyclops and a centaur. That's just silly. #monsterdon
One does not simply plead one must IMPLORE #Monsterdon
The centaur is back from his smoke break, and he's PISSED. #Monsterdon
Now I take two pieces of your pizza!
They finally rinsed all that crepe makeup off of wassisface. #Monsterdon
I do want to know why the fountain looked to be a model
this secret cave is actually under stonehenge
#monsterdon
Sindownbad
More dripping. The audience needs to know we are underground. #monsterdon
That would be a neat trick, if the Fountain of Youth were in something like a reverse black hole where you could only reach it after an infinite amount of time
"do you trust me?"
who put green floodlights in the sacred cave
Good news! The cyclops centaur lives in a cave, so we can reuse our cool cave set!
Bones mean I have bingo!
An ancient race of... Druids
I bet the change at the bottom of that fountain is bananas
the fountain of stonehenge?
To distract the Hindu Orions, Sinbad has Sumerian King Guy take off his cool mask to reveal his burnt face, which distracts the Hindu Orions so they can steal a rope elevator and pursue the Centaur Cyclops.
Meanwhile, Koura is wandering through the desert looking for the fountain of youth and also tripping on rocks.
That guy DOES look like he could use a drink
I have not seen this film before. #Monsterdon
Jesus Koura you should have brought a hiking pole or something.
You know, I'm beginning to think Lucas ripped off this film a little.
@bryanhowell he did not heed the warning of the Fresh Prince
This is anawesome fight sequence with a Kali statue, but, like, why? It's a statue, even if they hit it, it's a statue that can't hurt.
See, Korra? That's why you always use The Buddy System.
Look, just admit it's day and shoot like it. We all know it's not night out there.
@ProcessParsnip so like that guy on the ship earlier then
I'm really not sure what's going on but the centaur is cool
I think it's time for the one-eyed minotaur.
Oh - there's a goof here apparently.
Notice her outfit is red...
....so you become young enough that people doubt you, you get some shield of darkness? and a crown of untold richesβnot even an MSRP, and you gotta hope some auction house appraiser has the smarts to figure out a decent starting bid
this fountain thing is a real pig in a poke
GONDOR CALLS FOR AID #monsterdon
ooo, is it another Harryhausen creature?
Cool fight scene and cat in my lap kept me too distracted to comment, but that one smiling statue Sinbad sat his ass on looked cool. I guess it inspired that D&D cover?

#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973
Shiva is male, Kali is female. And it is a statue of Shiva that they are calling Kali. So all names and pronoun combos work here..
oh. no. the villain has betrayed us.
Have the crew sobered up?
I thought shiva was male. Not really my wheelhouse though so Iβll defer.
βMighty Kali Linux, mightier than thou am I. Make obeisance to me.β
"A shame the Hovitos don't know you like I do, Belloc." #Monsterdon
This is Tom's religious training coming through
#monsterdon
Naturally a boss fight drops the loot you needed
okay that was the best part of the movie
After tricking the Hindu Orions, Koura dismisses them so he can ransack their temple treasures looking for the third golden flat thing. Sinbad and friends arrive and Sinbad challenges him to a sword fight, but he decides to have the animated Kali statue do the fighting, because it has more arms and can thus hold more swords.
@diazona i read that as "you're a gooner" and honestly i'm not sure which one is worse
ok the six armed sword fighting is bad ass, as usual harryhausen just sort of gets what things that shouldn't move like statues should move like #monsterdon
Was this just a massive optical-printer flex? I have no clue how this was composited at this point in movie making history.
#monsterdon
@bryanhowell missed opportunity to say "sinigo montoya"
Dude chill you checked like 3 chests try harder. This is why our wives say we didn't look when we can't find the kielbasa in the fridge
Bah! Gold, jewels - useless crap!
Harryhausen just fucking stunting on us for like a solid minute 9_9 #Monsterdon
First a wooden golem. The gargoyles looked like rock. Now he commands a six armed iron golem. Koura is the master of all elemental summoning.
#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyageofSinbad
You guys can go, lemmie have a heart to heart with your multiarmed god statue. It's chill. #monsterdon
