Quote:

In The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973), animation/special effects genius Ray Harryhausen gives us another installment in the adventures of Sinbad (John Phillip Law), the swashbuckling sailor here pitted against the nefarious master of the black arts, Koura (Tom Baker). As the two race to find a magical treasure trove, Sinbad must confront a host of astonishing creatures, including a wee winged homunculus, a one-eyed centaur, and a six-armed, scimitar-wielding deity, the dreaded Kali. Featuring a spectacular score by the inimitable Miklos Rozsa (Ben-Hur), available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.

I really hope they use those posters, but they'll probably be relegated to the booklet.

Talyn · 08-07-2013, 05:01 PM

I'm....potentially....game for this. Loved this whenever it ran on tv as a kid.

Sony

They could have easily released a trilogy of the Harryhausen Sinbad films, and it would have sold just fine in a wide release. The first is already widely released, so now anyone who wants the whole thing will have to pay up. What a terrible studio.

Until you made this comment, I never realized that the 1958 Sinbad film was on blu ray already, and has been for like 5 years now....thanks! I might have to check it out. I've never actually seen the film, but I like the score Bernard Herrmann did for it.

Aw, crap! And it IS, too!

(More Arabian atmosphere than the squeaky-clean 50's Seventh Voyage, and better actors than the goofy 70's-ishness of Eye of the Tiger.
Not to mention Tom Baker originally getting the Doctor Who gig BECAUSE of playing the evil wizard in the movie.)

At this point, just wish TT would realize that their name was a bit prematurely pessimistic over nothing, and use the "limited edition" stunt as simply testing title awareness for future scaled-down mass-market re-dips.
Then we might get Christine and Birdie back again.

My favorite Sinbad movie! Caroline Munro and John Phillip Law.. Can't wait for this one!

Page14 · 08-07-2013, 06:46 PM

Wow ... I wasn't expecting that. I know a lot of people have trouble with TT. But what they do pick from what's offered to them seem to be great transfers, for the most part. Hopefully this is another one. I'm thrilled!

Mrlovkim · 08-07-2013, 06:49 PM

This I might get.

Amen, brotha...

Great! Now how about The Valley Of Gwangi.

isn't that a Warner Archive Classic DV-R release?

Now I have to spend $35 on this. My favorite Sinbad after Eye of the Tiger.

Hypnosifl · 08-07-2013, 07:25 PM

Definitely getting this, I haven't seen it since I was a kid but I love Harryhausen and the scene with the living Kali statue stuck in my memory. How far in advance of the release date does Twilight Time usually do preorders? This could potentially sell out pretty fast...

Assuming you mean Bye Bye Birdie (not sure what other TT "Birdie" would refer to), it is still in print with about 500 remaining.

3-4 weeks.

It will literally make me sick to my stomach to pay what this is going to cost coming from TT but I dearly love this film and will have to have it. It just bugs me that the only bonus feature will be the isolated score because I don't give 2 square poops about the score. Parden my language.
