History Film / TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad

Not to be confused with the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]-featured ''The Magic Voyage of Sinbad'' (actually the film ''{{Film/Sadko}}'').

* OfferedTheCrown: 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. [[ChainsOfCommanding A king is never truly free]]. Why, he is even told who he must marry."

* FacialHorror: 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.

%%* GiveMeASword

* SadlyMythtaken: Kali. Lemuria too, if mistaking a failed biogeographic hypothesis from 1864 for an "ancient myth" counts.

* GoodScarsEvilScars / TheGrotesque: 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 [[spoiler:regains his face when Sinbad crowns him Sultan]].

--> ''SINBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!''

* MsFanservice: Margiana, played by Caroline Munro. Lord have mercy. Essentially her only role in the story is to look pretty in not very much clothing-- even her significant birthmark turns out [[spoiler:to just mean that she's supposed to be a sacrifice to the Centaur]].

* NeutralFemale: 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 TheLoad - ends up coming through on several occasions.

''The Golden Voyage of Sinbad'' is a 1974 fantasy film directed by Gordon Hessler and starring John Philip Law, Creator/TomBaker, Creator/RayHarryhausen's [[StarringSpecialEffects special effects]] and [[MsFanservice Caroline Munro's Cleavage]]. Music/MiklosRozsa (who scored ''Film/{{The Thief of Bagdad|1940}}'' in the same vein) composed the soundtrack. It is the second Literature/SinbadTheSailor film on which Harryhausen worked after ''Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad'', and has a different cast and crew.

Harryhausen worked on a third Sinbad film, ''Film/SinbadAndTheEyeOfTheTiger'', which had a completely different cast and crew once again.

Literature/SinbadTheSailor 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.

** It's Tom Baker, what do you expect? This is especially true when he's controlling the figurehead and when he swordfights with Sinbad near the end. It's true from his very first scene:

* LivingStatue: Famously, the statue of Kali, the most iconic scene in the whole movie. Less well known is the figurehead of Sinbad's ship that Koura animates remotley to steal the map for him.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Sinbad's RagtagBunchOfMisfits are all conventionally gorgeous [[PrettyBoy young men]] and [[MsFanservice 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 CreepyBlueEyes and a huge, hooked nose, and becomes visibly older and uglier (with crackled 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.

%%* BirthmarkOfDestiny: Margiana.
* BishounenLine: Koura starts off middle-aged, becomes increasingly elderly and twisted-looking as he starts throwing around more and more magic power, and then finally becomes younger looking than we've yet seen him for the final confrontation. Shortly followed by turning invisible, which may be considered a further increase in prettiness depending on your opinion of Tom Baker's appearance.
%%* BloodIsSquickerInWater: Prince Koura in the Fountain of Destiny.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Kali.
* NeutralFemale: Margiana, so much.
* OccultBlueEyes / CreepyBlueEyes: Koura has strangely-colored, unearthly blue eyes 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 Wipe}}s 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.

* OurGryphonsAreDifferent

* ThePowerOfBlood
** BloodMagic: Prince Koura uses his own blood to create the bat-homonculus.
* PowerDegeneration: See CastFromLifespan.

* SavedByThePhlebotinum: Prince Koura's youth is restored by one of the fountain.
* SlaveLiberation: Sinbad values freedom and doesn't like slavery, so he frees Margiana as soon as she's brought to his ship. Later, [[spoiler: he does this for himself by refusing the Crown of Many Riches. As he puts it, "A king is never truly free."]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: 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.
** So presumably they lived happily ever after.

*** For that matter, what happened to the (unnamed) other 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?

-> ''SINBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!''
