ahhh, that's why he wears the mask. I thought it was ceremonial.
YOGA FLAME
I like to think that the actor in that mask did all of his lines like "Mmmfmmf mfmmf mmmffmmmm" on set.
Check out the wall vagina...
The Man in the Bronze Mask by Alexander Dumbass
Cute little bat demon thing
What's wrong with his hand? His hand looks better than either of my hands.
So he ? Summoned the portcullis to come down ? With magic ?
I don't think I'm following this movie all that well.
#monsterdon
If I wanted to watch brownface I'd put in Short Circuit.
That Hiya was downright judo chop in its efficacy
I think I have learned that if a Russian actor tries to sound Arabic, he produces something closer to a Scottish accent. Interesting⦠#Monsterdon
Sinbad, it's the man of your dreams!
What accent is that they're all trying to do?
"That a wise man would follow his dream? His sexy, bellydancing dream?"
This movie starts with a colorful sailing ship sailing somewhere, with a captain named Sinbad. The ship is visited by a cool bat looking thing that the crew think is an albatross. Uh oh.
One of the crewman shoots it with an arrow causing it to drop the golden flat thing it was carrying. The crew want to throw it away because its evil. Sinbad picks it up and has a vision of a faceless woman doing a Spooky Sexy Dance, so he keeps it.
@JoeWynne The latter of which starred Sly Stallone. I hope.
the spinning prop treasure on a bit of string flying towards the camera while spinning is very cute, 70s core VFX for sure
Itβs the ghost of Catherine Monro
Illuminati confirmed
Weird unnecessary zoom on the necklace
Launching my #monsterdon thread for "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad", a movie that has a boat in it so I'll probably like it.
Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie each week and praise and or make fun of it. Mute the hash tag if that's not your jam, join us next week if that is your jam!
Look, if you give me a stop motion monster Iβll probably have a good time watching the film #Monsterdon
it's a hologram!
#monsterdon
fears this is going to be like Carry On Up The Khyber for ethnic representation....
#monsterdon We've got ostentatious persian rug action going on... I kinda find the "arabic serifs" to be a nice touch. I kinda wonder when the musical interludes for the start of movies stopped being a thing?
Schneer, we meet again....
No More Drama for Kali π
OMG Kali kinda looks like Mary J Blige
That means they're still in the dream, right?
@strangefour #monsterdon #WrongSinbad
Woah! That woulda made a better movie than this!
Shaq isn't a very good actor, but he's trying. Gotta appreciate that.
@paco #monsterdon #WrongSinbad
idk... I think the moms and stepdad are pretty well-balanced characters....
Shaq is obviously cool with Dolemite.
Genie was sleeping in an ancient boom box? Okay not the worst idea.
Is every one of his scenes gonna be sing talking?
#Monsterdon #Kazaam
In reality the kid fell on a stray heroin needle and the rest is just a hallucination.
No way this was the 90s and weren't any crackheads in the abandoned building....
Who indeed?
(watching #Kazaam1996 live on #Monsterdon at https://miru.miyaku.media/ for anyone wondering...)
He's comin over for MORE than ribs! nyuck nyuck....
Wtf? Oh there's the unneeded trans joke in a 90s movie for kids. Jeez.
#Monsterdon #Kazaam
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".
JusticeForAchmed
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.
-fin
#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.
And there they go... off into the sea to ...
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
Crown of Untold Reconstructive Surgery...
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!
A good and just vizier? Really?
#monsterdon
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
VFX continuing to flex all over this movie ππ
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.
@Binder Added fo4r no reason I'm afraid
#monsterdon
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.
Deus ex winged lion bird. #monsterdon
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
