Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger Movie Review

Sinbad (Patrick Wayne replacing John Phillip Law) sails to Charnak to ask Prince Kassim for the hand of his sister, Farah (Jane Seymour). Unfortunately, the prince has been baboonified by their evil stepmother Zenobia (Margaret Whiting). To break the spell, Sinbad must once again hit the road, er sea, and face a myriad of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion creatures, including the Minaton, a giant troglodyte (originally planned to be played by an actor), a saber-toothed tiger, and a giant walrus. Even the baboon is animated. The locations are great – like the rock tombs of ancient Petra or the glaciers of the Pyrenees. Harryhausen's second-to-last film. Eye of the Tiger was intended to be Sinbad at the World's End, with Law reprising his Sinbad role, but budget constrictions limited the production.
