Lou Ferrigno stars as Sinbad in this Italian made adventure film that really does not take itself too seriously.
The plot is very simple. Sinbad must battle evil to save a Kingdom and the life of a Princess. That's it in a nutshell. There is some comedy thrown in and it doesn't really work at all.
The movie has a wrap around story involving a woman played by Daria Nicoldi telling this tale to her young daughter before bedtime. Nicoldi also narrates the tale.
Ferrigno is ok as Sinbad, but he really reminded me of Hercules. In this movie Sonbad must fight ghost warriors, Amazons and even an evil twin of himself!!
It's all hokey as hell, but it's fun. I find too many people take this stuff too seriously and of course it's going to be bad if you watch it with high expectations.
It's not perfect, the acting is ok except for a few moments of overacting which will make you laugh, and the effects are what you'd expect from a production like this.
The rest of the cast includes John Steiner, Roland Wybenga, Teagan, Alessandra Martines and Melonee Rodgers.
Yes, this was a VERY troubled production that took 3 years to finally get done and then was only released here in the US on VHS.
