!!''Sinbad of the Seven Seas'' provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Kyra ends up kicking some {{Mook}} ass during the final assault on Jaffar's palace.
* AndShowItToYou: Sinbad defeats the leader of the demonic ghouls who attack his ship by ripping out its heart and crushing it in front of it.
* AnimatedArmor: The ghost warriors of the Isle of the Dead appear as empty suits of plate armor, moving about like living men. Fortunately for the crew they are not very difficult to "kill".
* BarehandedBladeBlock: Sinbad stops the Ghost King's sword (which, to be fair, was moving pretty slowly) with his bare hands and turns it back on him.
* BetaCouple: Although Princess Alina is an important character, her romance is with Sinbad's [[TheLancer Lancer]] Prince Ali.
* BigBad: Jaffar, the evil [[EvilChancellor vizier]] and [[EvilSorcerer sorcerer]], starts off the movie by usurping the throne of Basra.
* BoisterousBruiser: The unnamed viking member of Sinbad's crew is both strong and mirthful.
* DarkActionGirl: Queen Farida and her Amazons manage to capture and round up Sinbad's crew both by trickery and by force.
* DeadpanSnarker: Soukra makes a few digs at her boss Jaffar's eccentricities during the course of the story.
-->"Have you taken your medication this morning?"
* DoubleWeapon: The viking fights with a long-hafted weapon that has a morningstar on one end and a hammer on the other.
* EasilyForgiven: Both Soukra and Jaffar's captain of the guard are among the people cheering for Sinbad at the end, seemingly having avoided any punishment despite supporting the BigBad up until that point.
* EvilChancellor: Jaffar is the caliph's grand vizier, and also the movie's BigBad.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Jaffar's chief torturer amuses himself with some horrible puns as he has Sinbad's crew brought into the dungeon.
* EvilIsHammy: Jaffar is up there with [[Film/DungeonsAndDragons Profion]] and [[Film/StreetFighter M. Bison]], and he especially stands out compared to the rather wooden acting throughout the rest of the film.
* EvilIsSexy: The two main female protagonists are reasonably dressed, while the evil side has the seductive Amazons and the {{Dominatrix}}-looking Soukra.
* EvilKnockoff: As a last resort Jaffar conjures up a magical doppelganger of Sinbad to fight the hero for him.
* EvilSorcerer: Jaffar uses his vast powers to seize control of Basra and attempt to kill Sinbad and his crew. Soukra is also described as a powerful sorceress, but that ends up being an InformedAbility.
* FanDisservice: Once Sinbad takes her gem, the beautiful and scantily-clad [[MsFanservice Amazon Queen]] is revealed to be [[spoiler:a wizened old woman]].
* ForceFieldCage: Jaffar traps Sinbad in a cage made from magical lightning, which takes quite some effort to break free from.
* FramingDevice: The story is being told to us in the form of a mother reading it to her daughter before bedtime in the modern day.
* TheGoodKing: Caliph Pahn is said to be a kind and wise ruler. Too bad he's no good at recognizing an EvilChancellor when he sees one.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Jaffar invokes an unnamed force of evil, likely {{Satan}}, who serves no purpose in the story other than to grant him his dark powers.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Caliph Pahn feels Jaffar is a completely loyal and reliable servant, even after being released from his spell at the end.
* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: Both Skull Island and the Isle of the Dead (on which is the Cavern of Nothingness) are places Sinbad has to visit on his quest. They are about as pleasant as their names would suggest.
* InNameOnly: The opening proclaims the story to be based on Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's "The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade", but it has little in common with it other than the character of Sinbad and the appearance of a hot-air balloon.
* InterchangeableAsianCultures: Cantu, who liberally quotes Confucius and is described by the narrator as a Chinese soldier of fortune, is played by the Japanese Creator/HaruhikoYamanouchi and credited simply as "Samurai".
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Kyra, daughter of CloudCuckooLander "magician" Nadir, ends up being Sinbad's LoveInterest.
* MagicKnight: Soukra, while described as a sorceress, is easily one of the most muscular characters in the movie (comes from being played by bodybuilder Teagan Clive) and states that she prefers to keep her faith in her sword.
* MineralMacGuffin: Most of the plot is about Sinbad hunting for the four magical gems of Basra that Jaffar scattered across the world.
* MirrorMatch: Sinbad's final battle is against a magically-created EvilKnockoff of himself.
* MultinationalTeam: Sinbad's crew includes a [[HornyVikings Norse warrior]], a Chinese martial artist, and an apparently Turkish cook.
* NoNameGiven: The viking is only referred to as such both by the narration and the credits.
* NoodleIncident: Soukra has some kind of rivalry with Ali, saying they have "a duel to finish" (with Jaffar responding that she's obsessed with finding out who's stronger). This was never brought up before and is never brought up again, and the only time they appear in the same scene they don't acknowledge each other.
* PiranhaProblem: Jaffar's torturers have a piranha pit, which they almost lower Sinbad's cook into. When Sinbad arrives to liberate his crew a {{Mook}} is thrown into it instead.
* PluckyComicRelief: Ahmed the cook and Poochie the "dwarf" are mostly in this movie to be wacky, often staying behind when the others go off to fight.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Jaffar's chief torturer calls Cantu "slant-eyes".
* PutOffTheirFood: Nadir loses his appetite for fish couscous when Kyra starts telling Sinbad about how the ghouls on the island are "slimy, and squishy, and all full of sores".
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] and [[DefiedTrope defied]] when Sinbad is trapped in the palace snake pit and convinces the snakes to help him instead of attack him.
--> "I need your help. C’mere. Nervous, huh? I know where you’re coming from. People hating you and all that? As far as I’m concerned, it all started with that story of Eve. And when they want dirty work done, they really take advantage of you. Like that evil, slimy wizard up there!"
* RockMonster: One of the gems Sinbad has to retrieve is guarded by a giant creature made of stone.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Sinbad convinces a pit full of snakes to help him escape (by letting him tie them into a rope) simply by reasoning with them.
* TranslatorBuddy: Kyra has to translate her father's gibberish for a confounded Sinbad.
* TrapDoor: Sinbad is dropped into the palace's snake pit by Jaffar triggering a trap door in the throne room. [[spoiler:At the end of the movie, Sinbad gets his revenge by making the defeated villain "resign" this way]].
* TheUnintelligible: Most of what the "wizard" Nadir says is complete gibberish to everyone but his daughter.
