In this last go-round for the Sinbad series, Patrick Wayne plays the legendary sailor. He is betrothed to Farah (Jayne Seymour) and seeks her hand in marriage, but her brother Kassim has been turned into a baboon by the evil Zenobia (Margaret Whiting). Before he can break Zenobia's spell, Sinbad must contend with the Minoton, a bronze statue brought back to life to do her bidding; a trio of flaming skeletons wielding swords; a 9-foot-tall troglodyte; and a saber-toothed tiger. Wayne is the film's weakest point, making a rather wooden Sinbad. Whiting's performance smells strongly of ham, but it's a brand of ham that fits the movie perfectly. As always, though, Harryhausen's work is outstanding. He instills more personality and character into his creatures in this outing, especially for Kassim and his relationship to his sister. The prolonged battle between the troglodyte and saber-toothed tiger is a violent one, generating some real suspense. At times it's difficult to remember that it's not live action with guidance from a director. Though this is an uneven effort for the Sinbad series, it still has its moments. --Jerry Renshaw

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Suspend everything
Especially any inclination to find fault. If you're going to start complaining about anything at all in this movie, you're not going to get far. It is brilliant, and edge-of-your-seat exciting. The acting is fantastic, particularly by the minotaurathon, and the use of telepatheiaia is awesome. There is some absolutely riveting, shocking, positively indecent nudity. The plotting is highly logical, linear and makes total sense. You can't say it doesn't have twists. One of the villains has an eye-patch, but you can't be sure which eye it's covering. Perhaps there are two of them. The eye of the tiger is actually two eyes of the wicked witch of the East, who is also a step-mother --- now there's evil for you! There's also a uni-horned troglodyte (means dweller under the earth) who's a real pussy-cat. Never judge by appearances. Make no mistake: this is a let 'em rip, no-holds-barred, stop-at-nothing tale, which will ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Fun Adventure Romp
While it's definitely not the best Ray Harryhausen "Sinbad" adventure, it's sure does stand tall against a lot of its modern competition. Flip on any SciFi Channel or network television remake of any of the wonderful Sinbad adventures, and you'll find that "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" is a whole lot more fun. It features wonderful, over-the-top acting and camp from Margaret Whiting as the evil Zenobia and the always excellent Patrick Troughton (the classic "Doctor Who") as the wise and wiley Melanthius. It also features excellent stop-motion animation from the godfather of modern special effects, Ray Harryhausen.

In this adventure, Sinbad (Patrick Wayne, the Duke's boy) and company take port in Charak, where Princess Farah (Jane Seymour) is distressed over the condition of her brother, Kassim, who has been turned into a baboon by stepmother and local witch (in more ways than one) Zenobia.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun Sinbad Adventure with Patrick Wayne, Jane Seymour & Taryn Power
I don't get why so many people pan this 1977 Sinbad adventure film, the third in a trilogy featuring Ray Harryhausen's special effects creations.

I've only seen the first in the trilogy, "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" (1958), once about a decade ago, but I've seen "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" (1974) numerous times. So, whereas I can't properly compare "Eye of the Tiger" with the first film, since I barely remember anything about it, I can certainly compare it to the latter; and -- let me tell ya -- even though "Golden Voyage" is a great Sinbad adventure, I actually prefer "Eye of the Tiger" over it.

THE PLOT: Princess Farah's (Jane Seymour) brother, who's about to be crowned Caliph of the kingdom, is turned into a baboon by the envious sorceress Zenobia (Margaret Whiting) who wants her son to be Caliph instead. Sinbad (Patrick Wayne) escorts Farah and her baboon brother on a grand adventure to ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Jane Seymour - Nude
I like the way the movie flows - my favorite part was of course seeing Jane and the other lady partially nude. This had alot of great special effects -- the movie overall was pretty good. I have watched it more than twice -- more to see Jane nude than anything else... Smile
