Anything Ray Harryhausen did was movie gold. "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" features more of his incredible stop-action creations. My favorite this time around is the six-armed statue of Indian goddess Kali. The way that it comes to life and dances for Prince Koura is magical. There's nothing about the creatures that isn't fun to watch, they creak and groan and roar as they slowly come to life.
John Phillip Law plays a cool Sinbad and Caroline Munro as the slave girl doesn't do much acting but is gorgeous to say the least. Tom Baker as Prince Koura is an acceptably sinister, moustache-twisting villain, as well. I think the actual story or "voyage" is a little too leisurely. Nothing that Sinbad or his crew do seems particularly pressing, even though they are trying to keep Prince Koura down.
