Movie Info

The second of special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen's three Sinbad epics, this film finds the titular hero played by John Philip Law, while the principal villain, Koura, is portrayed by future Dr. Who Tom Baker. The plot sends Sinbad and his crew on a quest for a valuable and magical golden tablet. Harryhausen's "Dynamation" highlights include a six-armed statue, a one-eyed centaur and a flying griffin. Caroline Munro also stars. Golden Voyage of Sinbad was followed by Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1979). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Harryhausen's most touching work is done in the quiet, beguiling scene in which the villainous wizard patiently breathes life into a tiny gargoyle, a concise ode to the divine qualities of the craftsman's art

Definitely one of the best Ray Harryhausen extravaganzas, with John Phillip Law running the show.

Totally fascinating stop-motion animation effects. It's an interesting voyage. The characters aren't fleshed out much. It's very Saturday-afternoon matinee in feel.
