The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is a 1974 fantasy film directed by Gordon Hessler and starring John Philip Law, Tom Baker, Ray Harryhausen's special effects and Caroline Munro. Miklos Rozsa (who scored The Thief of Bagdad in the same vein) composed the soundtrack. It is the second Sinbad the Sailor film on which Harryhausen worked after The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, and has a different cast and crew.Sinbad the Sailor searches for the lost continent of Lemuria with the help of his trusty crew along with the disfigured Grand Vizier of Marabia and the perpetually under-dressed ex-slavegirl Margiana. Along the way they will battle the evil sorcerer Prince Koura and encounter fantastic creatures such as the griffin and — in the film's most technically stunning moment — a six-armed statue of Kali brought to life through Koura's magic.Harryhausen worked on a third and final Sinbad film, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger , which had a completely different cast and crew once again.Not to be confused with the MST3K-featured The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (actually the Russian film Sadko). | |

Slave Liberation | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_15d8e4f5 | comment |
Slave Liberation: Sinbad values freedom and doesn't like slavery, so he frees Margiana as soon as she's brought to his ship. Later, he does this for himself by refusing the Crown of Many Riches. As he puts it, "A king is never truly free." | |

Villains Act, Heroes React | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_2064626a | comment |
Villains Act, Heroes React: The second half of the movie is just Koura overdoing the magic and variously attacking Sinbad's crew with possessed statues, magic exploding temples, green-skinned savages and so on, hoovering up the Plot Coupons as he goes. The only thing Sinbad's crew is really capable of is fighting off whatever he throws at them and chasing after him. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_2a015a74 | comment |
Beauty Equals Goodness: Sinbad's Ragtag Bunch of Misfits are all conventionally gorgeous young men and women, except for the character whose disfigurement is part of the plot (and even he hides his face under a beautifully-designed metal mask except for one significant scene). Koura has a striking but not remotely pretty appearance, with Creepy Blue Eyes and a huge, hooked nose, and becomes visibly older and uglier (with cracked skin and red-rimmed eyes) from the effects of his magic overuse. His allies consist of sailors with more asymmetrical faces than Sinbad's crew, heavily painted tribespeople, and monsters. | |

Occult Blue Eyes | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_41ec06f | comment |
Occult Blue Eyes: Koura has strangely-colored, unearthly blue eyes (courtesy of Tom Baker, whose eyes naturally looked like that) that receive a lot of camera and color-contrast attention whenever he uses his magic. Played up with copious Eyedscreen and some truly stunning Idiosyncratic Wipes where the scene transitions from a shot of his face around his eyes, leaving them staring disembodied over the emerging scene for a very unsettling effect. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars: The Grand Vizier (who, as mentioned above, is a good guy, unusual for these sorts of stories) had his entire face burned off thanks to the mischief of Prince Koura, and so now wears a golden mask. He takes it off to scare some hostile tribesmen away, and later regains his face when Sinbad crowns him Sultan. | |

Facial Horror: Below his golden mask, the Vizier's face is horrifically scarred, stemming from Koura setting fire to it after the Sultan of Marabia died naming the Vizier his heir. His face is healed by the end of the film after Sinbad puts the crown of untold riches on his head. | |

Neutral Female: Margiana stands by idly during most fights. Sinbad's entire quest would probably be a lot easier if he hadn't brought her along. Ironically, Haroun — whom he only accepted as a companion because it would mean Margiana could come too, and initially views as The Load — ends up coming through on several occasions. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: What happened to Koura's second-in-command and the ship he came on? Koura sends the sailors who row him to Lemuria and later his second back to the ship, and that's the last we hear of it. Also, what exactly happened to Omar, the sailor in Sinbad's crew with a shaved head? He just disappears halfway through the battle with the centaur. We can see his legs sticking out from behind a rock but what happened to him? How did he die? What happened to the other unnamed men in Sinbad's island expedition? They apparently disappeared right after the battle with Kali. One of them did get injured in the battle, but it was uncertain whether or not it was fatal. As for the others, were they captured like their comrades by the Lemurians but failed to escape? If so, what was their fate? | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_a9de87d2 | comment |
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Haroun starts off as an idle, womanizing drunkard and hashish-smoker whose father makes Sinbad hire him in an attempt to whip him into shape. Towards the end of the film, however, he saves Sinbad's life twice, once by shooting down Koura's homunculus when it attacks Sinbad whilst he's climbing a rope out of the Oracle's temple, then again when Sinbad is pinned down by the statue of Kali, and he tackles it over a ledge, shattering it. | |

Masking the Deformity | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_af8cc2e9 | comment |
Masking the Deformity: The Grand Vizier of Marabia, named heir to the throne after the sultan died without a son, wears a solid golden mask that covers his entire head. Below it, his face is nightmarishly scarred, with hairless, waxy skin, thanks to Koura the Black Prince setting fire to it, just to prevent the Vizier from becoming an obstacle to the throne he wants for himself. Towards the climax of the film, the Vizier takes off his mask to reveal his face and scare away the green men who are threatening to kill Sinbad and his crew, and at the end of the film, once Sinbad puts the "crown of untold riches" gained from the Fountain of Destiny onto the Vizier's head, the mask melts away into thin air, revealing that the Vizier's face is now magically restored back to its full healthier glory, along with a full head of hair and a nice beard. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Margiana, played by Caroline Munro. Essentially her only role in the story is to look pretty in not very much clothing and her cleavage is oiled up to attract the eye. Even her significant birthmark turns out to just mean that she's supposed to be a sacrifice to the Centaur. | |

Genre Throwback: To an earlier era of swashbuckling adventure movies, including Harryhausen's own The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, released back in the '50s, and the even earlier The Thief of Bagdad (1940), whose influence on this movie is very clear. | |

Offered the Crown | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_e6fa475c | comment |
Offered the Crown: After he kills Koura, Sinbad sees the third and final treasure that emerges from the Fountain of Destiny, a golden crown. Despite seeing himself reflected with the crown on his head and royal robes on his body, Sinbad refuses the crown and gives it to the Vizier instead. As he tells Margiana later, "I value freedom. A king is never truly free. Why, he is even told who he must marry." | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| The Golden Voyage of Sinbad / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: Sinbad and his crew have no chance against the statue of Kali. Not only is it surprisingly fast and skilled with its swords, but since the statue is made of stone, their swords are useless against it. They only win because Haroun manages to knock it off a ledge while it's busy fighting Sinbad, shattering it on the ground below. | |

Evil Is Hammy: Sinbad's crew lives in a world of Dull Surprise and Eye Takes. Koura, however, is a universe unto himself, thanks in part to being played by Tom Baker. Koura is marked by copious Chewing the Scenery, evil laughter, wailing, trembling, moaning magic words in an ecstatic sort of way and shouting people's names really loudly. | |

Pet the Dog: As evil as Koura is, he has a surprisingly close relationship with his minion, Achmed. For one, he never grows angry with Achmed when the latter expresses concern about the negative effects Koura's magic has upon him. Second, Koura takes care to send Achmed back to their ship near the climax, so he won't be in danger if Koura is defeated by Sinbad. | |
