they literally have a flying monkey watching them and they don't notice the freak of nature?!?!?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 𓇼 ⋆.˚ 𓆉 𓆝 𓆡⋆.˚ 𓇼🏴‍☠️🦜💰🧟🐉🐙😱

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 👏👏

#Monsterdon

That’s a bad astigmatism

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad1973

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.

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

@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

#Monsterdon

Oh I see. They're exes.

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyageOfSinbad

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!

#monsterdon

They finally rinsed all that crepe makeup off of wassisface. #Monsterdon

I do want to know why the fountain looked to be a model

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

this secret cave is actually under stonehenge
#monsterdon

Sindownbad

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

Remember guys, the real prize the is friends you made along the way. #monsterdon

"do you trust me?"

#monsterdon

who put green floodlights in the sacred cave

#monsterdon

And you just know that kids have peed in that fountain

#Monsterdon

Good news! The cyclops centaur lives in a cave, so we can reuse our cool cave set!

#monsterdon

Bones mean I have bingo!

#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

An ancient race of... Druids

#Monsterdon

I bet the change at the bottom of that fountain is bananas

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

the fountain of stonehenge?

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

That guy DOES look like he could use a drink

#Monsterdon

I have not seen this film before. #Monsterdon

Jesus Koura you should have brought a hiking pole or something.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

You know, I'm beginning to think Lucas ripped off this film a little.

#monsterdon #thegoldenvoyageofsinbad

@bryanhowell he did not heed the warning of the Fresh Prince

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

See, Korra? That's why you always use The Buddy System.

#monsterdon

Look, just admit it's day and shoot like it. We all know it's not night out there.

#Monsterdon

@ProcessParsnip so like that guy on the ship earlier then

#Monsterdon

I'm really not sure what's going on but the centaur is cool

#monsterdon

oh wow, hello sir. (^^)

#monsterdon

I think it's time for the one-eyed minotaur.
Oh - there's a goof here apparently.
Notice her outfit is red...

#monsterdon

....so you become young enough that people doubt you, you get some shield of darkness? and a crown of untold riches—not 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

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

GONDOR CALLS FOR AID #monsterdon

ooo, is it another Harryhausen creature?

#Monsterdon

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?
#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyageofSinbad

this girl's really had a rough life.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#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.

#monsterdon

Have the crew sobered up?

#Monsterdon

@GramrgednAngel @jivens

I thought shiva was male. Not really my wheelhouse though so I’ll defer.

#Monsterdon

“Mighty Kali Linux, mightier than thou am I. Make obeisance to me.”

"A shame the Hovitos don't know you like I do, Belloc." #Monsterdon

this cannot *possibly* end well

#Monsterdon

This is Tom's religious training coming through
#monsterdon

Naturally a boss fight drops the loot you needed

#Monsterdon #GoldenVotageOfSinabd

okay that was the best part of the movie

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

@diazona i read that as "you're a gooner" and honestly i'm not sure which one is worse

#Monsterdon

Teamwork makes the dream work, people.

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

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

#Monsterdon #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

Don't worry Sinbad, just hit the iron statue in its weak spot!

#Monsterdon
#TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

@bryanhowell missed opportunity to say "sinigo montoya"

#Monsterdon

Bingo!

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

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

#Monsterdon

Bah! Gold, jewels - useless crap!

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

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

Nothing like subduing temple worshipers by a statue belly dance 🤣

#Monsterdon

You guys can go, lemmie have a heart to heart with your multiarmed god statue. It's chill. #monsterdon

Harryhausen freaking showing off. That was just amazing.
#monsterdon

Okay, damn, Harry. We get it. You're the shit, you're the OG, we get it. #Monsterdon

That is an actual dance.

#Monsterdon

If I were India I would be launching nuclear weapons at this....

...still though, impressive Harryhausen work

⁉️ GOLDEN VOYAGE OF TRIVIA ⛵🌊

Ray Harryhausen made tonight's feature a tribute to one of his inspirations, The Thief of Bagdad (1940).

One similarity: Kali's dance copies many of the moves of the six-armed 'robot' in the earlier film.

#GoldenVoyageOfSinbad1973

#Monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974 #TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

I'm claiming a bingo!

Look at all this greenface. Disgusting. #monsterdon

@Taweret Naahhh
#monsterdon

Maybe they have frozen vegetables, or Marvel comics

#Monsterdon

And then the tribe roasted them on a spit the end

#Monsterdon

What a... suspenseful scene

😏

#Monsterdon

After telling Sinbad and friends to "go north" in as many words as possible, the oracle disappears, but outside Koura is using his magic exploding acid to trap the main characters in the cave temple. For some reason destroying the door also blows up the temple on top of it, because it was a very load bearing door.

RIP cool cave temple building things, RIP.

#monsterdon

Y'know, Lost Osmond doesn't seem any more useless than the rest of this crew

#monsterdon #GoldenVoyage1974

Not gonna lie, "Tie up your camel" is a pretty good euphemism for "put your dick away"

#Monsterdon⁩ ⁨#GoldenVoyage1973

Your turbans and sashes! Everyone.
And… er… plunging-neckline halter tops, everyone wearing one of those.

#monsterdon

We should have gone to the Oracle at Delphi. #Monsterdon

Some call me.... Tim.

#monsterdon

I think they should at least throw a tip in the well
#monsterdon
#goldenvoyage1974

"hello i am the oracle, i have tiny hands. i know everything but must first spaz out and turn into a grumpy fireball hologram to explain things. thank you for your consideration."

#monsterdon

Actually, since they’ve been playing pretty fast and loose with cultures, I guess it DOES make sense that the lovechild of Kali and Ymir is pulling a Wizard of Oz.
#Monsterdon

Lemme guess. Destiny is the friends you made along the way, right?

#monsterdon

Knows all, speaks in riddles. Dick. #monsterdon

*starts ranting like a drunk god nobody believes in anymore
