The Sinbad Collection (7th Voyage / Golden Voyage / Eye of the Tiger) [DVD]

My kids and I enjoyed the video. There was alot of monsters . They don't make movies like this.

Truly awesome.These films are a must have for fansof the legendary effects wizard Ray Harryhausen.Absolutely glorious.

THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD;is an axcellent movie with a great director.I've watched the movie before since when I was a child together with My Dad.I loved it and as an adult, I wanted to see it again.I now understood it and would like to watch it over and over again.THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD; This another great movie of how Sinbad and his crew were able to help conquer the evil wizard Koura.SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER;is another great movie when Sinbad and his crew helped to crown Prince Kassim to his throne when his step mother Zenobia a witch transformed Kassim into A baboon.I can't help watching it again.Excellent movie.THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD; thou tha story was good, but the graphics were like a catoon character and if you watch it it"s full of fake characters.Didn't really enjoy it that much

This set collects all three of the Ray Harryhausen/Charles H. Schneer Sinbad films on DVD, for better or worse. The cast and crew may have changed over the years, but one thing remained constant, that being a genuine sense of fun and excitement inherent within all three films, assisted by Ray Harryhausen's dedication to his craft of bringing to life fantastic, mythical and imaginative creatures through his process of Dynamation. All in all a highly enjoyable set at a decent price.The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)Co-written by Ken Kolb ("The Wild Wild West") and Ray Harryhausen, and directed by Nathan Juran (The Brain from Planet Arous, 20 Million Miles to Earth, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman), the film stars Kerwin Mathews (The 3 Worlds of Gulliver, Octaman) and Kathryn Grant (The Night the World Exploded, Operation Mad Ball), who would later be known as Kathryn Crosby, after her marriage to Bing `Der Bingle' Crosby. Also appearing is Richard Eyer (The Invisible Boy), Torin Thatcher (The Crimson Pirate, Jack the Giant Killer), Alec Mango (The Strange World of Planet X), Harold Kasket (Moulin Rouge - the original, not the popular remake), and Alfred Brown (Crack in the World).Sinbad (Mathews) must rescue the fair Princess Parisa (Grant) from the spell of an evil magician named Sokurah (Thatcher), who looks a lot like Albert Finney playing Daddy Oliver Warbucks in the 1982 film Annie. Along the way he encounters a giant Cyclops (perhaps more than one), a snake woman, an overgrown, two-headed, eagle-like bird and her two-headed offspring, a sword fighting skeleton, a ginormous fire-breathing dragon, and a genie named Baronni (Eyer).The anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) looks sharp and clean, and the Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio comes through clear and defined. There's a healthy assortment of extras including an image display of an original theatrical poster, two interview segments with special effects creator Ray Harryhausen titled `A Look Behind the Voyage' (11:45) and `Jason and the Argonauts' (11:47), two featurettes titled `This is Dynamation' (3:26) and `The Ray Harryhausen Chronicles' (57:53), talent files, and a whole mess of trailers, including one for this film, along with 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957), Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956), The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), and It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955). 5 stars.The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974)Co-written by Brian Clemens ("The Avengers") and Ray Harryhausen, and directed by Gordon Hessler (Scream and Scream Again, `KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park'), the film stars John Phillip Law (Danger: Diabolik), Caroline Munro (At the Earth's Core, Maniac), and Tom Baker, who would find his niche in his next role as the lead character (played by many over the years) in the long running BBC television series "Doctor Who". Also appearing is Douglas `Nayland Smith' Wilmer (The Brides of Fu Manchu), Kurt Christian (Horror Hospital, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger), and Robert Shaw (From Russia with Love, Jaws) as the floating, larger than life, gangrenous, disembodied, riddle speaking, horned head of The Oracle of all knowledge...seriously, you have to see, fizzy bubbles and all, it to believe it...Sinbad (Law) races against an evil wizard (Baker) to collect the most fabulous prize in the world and save the Kingdom of Marabia, encountering such fantastic creatures as a homunculus (a tiny, winged demon looking creature), a lively ship's masthead, a six-armed statue of Kali a sickly cycloptic Minotaur (half humanoid, half bull), and a griffon (wings and head of an eagle, body of a lion), with slave girl Caroline Munro and her heaving cleavage in tow. The film is presented in both widescreen anamorphic (1.85:1) and fullscreen format, both looking very clean and clear. The Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio comes through well enough to satisfy most. There's a good amount of special features available, including three featurettes titled `Mysterious Island' (9:04), `The 3 Worlds of Gulliver' (5:21), and `Earth vs. the Flying Saucer" (8:37), vintage advertising, an original theatrical trailer, and production notes in a insert booklet. 4 stars.Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977)The third and final Sinbad outing co-produced by Ray Harryhausen and Charles H. Schneer, co-written by Beverley Cross (Clash of the Titans) and Ray Harryhausen, the film was directed by actor/sometimes director Sam Wanamaker (Irreconcilable Differences, Raw Deal). Starring is Patrick Wayne (Beyond Atlantis, The People That Time Forgot), son of The Duke, and Jane Seymour ("Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman"). Also appearing is Taryn Power ("The Count of Monte-Cristo"), Margaret Whiting ("Shroud for a Nightingale"), Patrick Troughton (Scars of Dracula, The Omen), and Kurt Christian (Horror Hospital, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad). An interesting note...the actor credited as playing the Minoton (the robotic Minotaur) is Peter Mayhew, who's probably most famous for his role as that big, hairy, lovable wookie Chewbacca in the Star Wars films.Sinbad (Wayne) must rescue a prince from the evil spell of a scheming witch, encountering along the way some emaciated demons, a bronze colossus, a larger than average bee, a ginormous prehistoric walrus, a giant troglodyte, and a vicious sabretooth tiger. The luscious Jane Seymour and Taryn Power tag along for the ride.The DVD presents an excellent looking widescreen (1.85:1) anapmorphic print, and features a decent Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio track. There are some special features available, including two featurettes titled `This is Dynamation' (3:26) and `The Ray Harryhausen Chronicles' (57:53), along with production notes within an included booklet, and a trailer for this film, along with ones for other Harryhausen works like The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958), 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957), Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956), The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960), and Jason and the Argonauts (1963). The special features here are nothing new, especially if you own other releases in the Ray Harryhausen collection. 3 stars.Cookieman108By the way, if you really want to go hog wild on Harryhausen, there's a five DVD set entitled The Fantastic Films of Ray Harryhausen - Legendary Monster Series that contains not only these three films, but also includes Jason and the Argonauts (1963), one of his best films, and 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960).

Will someone please tell me why Ray Harryhousen has not won an Oscar for lifetime achevement in special effects?There are great films. They are the kind of films that you used to go to see for the pure enjoyment of them. They had heroes, villians and cool looking monsters.They were creative. They were not carbon copies of whatever was the "current trend in movies". They were fun films that you remembered long after you saw them.Unlike the "family fare" of today, they were not preachy. There were no morals rammed down your throat. And they were never boring.I won't spoil the plots. If you are looking for good fantasy fare, these are the films you are looking for.They should have made this a four pack with "Jason and the Argonauts". (One of the other memorable Harryhausen fantasy films.)

Thank you!! Really enjoy these movies!!

If you are buying this collection for your children, be forewarned that the '70s "Eye of the Tiger" contains a shot of the naked princess sitting on a rock combing her hair after a bath in the nearby pond (knowing that Sinbad's scruffy sailors are in the vicinity). Had I known about this scene, I would have purchased the 7th Voyage and the Golden Voyage separately. The Eye of the Tiger has no redeeming qualities. As per the pacifist political correctness of its day, all of the film's conflict melts away before anyone has to use any force to defend themselves, so the plot plods along from one non-event to another. Harryhausen's effects were wasted on this film that my kids enjoyed less than the Popeye cartoon version of Sinbad.

Referring to the critical review titled "Eye of the Tiger marred by nudity":Just to help clarify the "adult content" in the Eye of the Tiger, there is no nudity in this film. There is partial nudity, consisting of brief flashes of female skin, but at no time is there any frontal nudity and there is nothing remotely sexual in nature. The film is rated "G", after all.The critical review in question, however, suggests that there is a reason to protect your children from this film. There isn't. There is, on the other hand, reason to protect your children from reviews like that one.

Toll, dass es die drei Filme in einer Box gibt. Auch wenn man es nicht erkennt, ist die Deutsche Sprache dabei. Es handelt sich um Klassiker mit "Kreaturen" von Ray Harryhausen. Die Effekte sind immer noch sehr spannend, insbesondere wenn man denkt zu welcher Zeit diese entstanden sind. Und die Filme machen heute auch noch Spass!

Very entertaining films. Thank you.

I've always enjoyed the Sinbad series and now I always will(when I want).Thx. Amazon..JDS
