You're Right! The trilogy of Charles H. Schneer/Ray Harryhausen Sinbad films came to a close with this 1977 installment, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. Patrick Wayne (son of John) took over duties as the mythical sailor, with Jane Seymour and Taryn Power providing the mandatory “babes in harem clothes” quotient. Our seafaring hero Sinbad pines for the lovely Princess Farah, but their marriage must be approved by the Princess’ brother and heir to the throne, Prince Kassim. This would be much easier to do had the Prince not recently been turned into a baboon. It seems an evil sorceress named Zenobia has her own ideas about who should ascend to the throne, and she’s taken steps to ensure her choice. To save the Prince and wed the Princess, Sinbad is forced to undertake a dangerous voyage to find the wizard Melanthius, the only mage capable of reversing the baboon spell. In classic Sinbad fashion, the journey is hindered by a bevy of Harryhausen’s “Dynamation” creations, including a giant walrus, three banshees, a minotaur-like Trog and a saber-toothed tiger. When Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger failed to reach the box-office heights of its two predecessors, the franchise was abandoned. Scheer and Harryhausen returned to Greek mythology (territory they had explored in 1963’s Jason and the Argonauts) for the 1981 gods and monsters epic Clash of the Titans. Too many stop-motion figures that have to move for no reason and just look confused; Jane Seymour in a belly-dancing outfit (saving point, but not enough); the minotaur that moves a rock and creates an archway entrance to the pyramid; stuffed animal with wires in it that is supposed to pass for a saber-toothed tiger; and please tell us, why didn’t they just use a real monkey? WHY?!?!??!
