"Lou Ferrigno acted his heart out as Sinbad, representing not 1, nor 2 but all 7 seas in this feel good movie of the decade. Sinbad makes me love being a man. Especially when his man-boobs bounch Baywatch-esque as he inexplicably runs away from undead pirates on an isle of mystery and undead pirates. UNDEAD PIRATES! The CGI makes the Matrix look like finger puppets. I don't want to give away too much, but yes, there is some Sinbad on Sinbad action. Its hot and heavy, especially when Sinbad falls in the molten lava. And the princess is soooo hot pre-teen boys could so watch this at sleepovers after the parents fall asleep. And Sinbad is hot too. Everybody's happy. Gotta go...outside." - R. Diehl

"This is a classic bad movie - the best I've ever seen. The whole way through it I was on the floor busting my sides. Jaffar's insane overacting and the sock puppet piranhas have to be seen to be believed." Sam - Read more...

"Ferrigno is miscast, looking and acting too he-man for a literary hero that was written to have a preference to work with his wits and acrobatics. Here he lumbers around very awkwardly, almost visibly embarrassed by just being there. His fight scenes are frequently shot in (very) slow motion, and seeing his facial expressions in these scenes is unintentionally hilarious, for he seems to be struggling with a stubborn bowel movement. Almost all of his dialogue is unbelievably silly. Seeing him emoting to not just those lines above, but lines like, "You're losing your power Jaffar! (Looking into camera) And you know that!", "Gosh, you're beautiful!!", and "Go back where you came from...you evil, filthy spirit!" is twice as funny that any other actor could have done."

"About halfway through the movie I began to wonder exactly what the film's intended audience could have possibly been. The overacting and ridiculous dialogue could have been forgivable if it had clearly been made as a kids' movie, but then there were a couple of mild swears and some scantily-dressed Amazon women that earned the film a PG-13 rating. The only suitable audience for this amazing stinker is, really, the David J. Parkers of the world. Actually, you don't even have to be a bad movie lover per se to get a good evening's entertainment from Sinbad." Issachar - Read more...

"One of my favorite comedies, although it's not supposed to be one. So incredibly bad, it's amazing! Some of the stupidest dialogue ever, and some ridiculous fight scenes. Lou Ferrigno is a joy to watch, especially his hilarious facial expressions. Watch this movie with a bunch of friends, but do not drink milk while doing so, otherwise it'll come spewing out of your nose!" 2&2

Sinbad of the Seven Seas

"Set sail for a realm of magical adventure beyond your wildest dreams!"

"To win the hand of his belowed Princess, young Prince Ali is charged with recovering the egg of the mythical Roc. Joining forces with the swashbuckling Sinbad (FERRIGNO), the Prince embarks with the legendary sailor on his fabulous ship, crewed by such colorful characters as the Midget, the Viking and the Samurai. Unfortunately, the evil wizard Jaffar is also smitten with the fair Princess, and soon Sinbad and crew find tthemselves running a gauntlet of supernatural creatures and outlandish ordeals - thet ultimately end in a blazing final battle on the suface of the moon! Brimming with movie-making magic, it's a journey into sheer story-telling enchantment!" (From the video cover)

Comments

"This movie is one of the best bad movies I have ever seen, and it easily out-funnies the original Deathstalker movie for the title of best bad fantasy movie I have seen (so far). Considering how uproariously bad Deathstalker was, this is no small feat. Yet Sinbad accomplishes this and even makes it look easy. Lou Ferrigno plays the title role, and if that isn't inspired casting I don't know what is." It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Movie - Read more...

"Sinbad of the Seven Seas is a movie so terrible, it really deserves my lowest star rating, perhaps less - but it is crammed with so many and varied laughs at its own expense that I genuinely enjoyed it." At-A-Glance Film Reviews - Read more...

"Probably the most entertaining aspect of the film is Ferrigno's performance, which really is not much improved over when he played The Incredible Hulk. I don't know how I ended up watching this, since I start off watching sleazy Italian gore flicks, then went to post apoc flicks, cheesy action flicks, and now a children's story with zero-gore and Power Rangers-esque violence. Harmless, but still relatively a waste of time..." Aylmer's Reviews - Read more...

"This is a delicious movie. It deserves its own web site, really. No - its own domain! Think of it - people could have email addresses like Poochie@Sinbadofthe7Seas.com! I'm glad I got a copy. I wish it was a ten-tape mini-series." B. Simpson - Read more...

"This is one of the best bad movies ever made. Hilariously awful from start to finish. I can't begin to do justice to the "plot". If you ever have the urge to drink an entire six pack at one sitting, rent this movie instead. You'll thank me. You get the same effect and only kill half the brain cells." Scaarge

"An incredibly fun, incredibly bad movie. Definitely recommended for any fans of bad cinema, this movie has it all. Plastic props, horrendous dialogue, plot holes galore, sophomoric special effects. Lou Ferrigno (Hulk!) throws his sword away and wrestles with bad guys, in sloooooow motion action sequences that will have you yawning in anticipation." Kevin Smith - Read more...

"See this if you like Lou Ferrigno (he still looks great and has let his curly hair grow out Afro style) and/or sword and sandal pics - just don't expect to be riveted to your seat." mde2 - Read more...

"When suitable casting for a Sinbad comes to mind one would think producers would look for somebody lithe and acrobatic - an athlete - instead we get bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno and a Sinbad that doesn’t leap, bound and twirl with a scimitar but rather wades through melee combat. It is a Sinbad wholly lacking in grace. But then such lack of conviction extends to the rest of the film - like the Japanese samurai who drops Confucian quotes or the grating modern colloquialisms crash any attempt to create an atmosphere of Arabian fantasy." Richard Scheib - Read more...

"It takes talent to make a good movie. You have to have good everything to make it happen - actors, plot, script, directing, etc. It takes just as much talent to screw up every single aspect of a movie, while trying to do your best. This is exactly what "Sinbad" achieves. Cheesy fights; awful, unnatural (ie, hilarious) dialogue; and poor acting all combine to bring the word "appalling" to mind." jojoshthepi

"As for Ferrigno"s debacle, I can only agree that you need a barf-bag to witness this desecration of the Sinbad legend. I would have liked to have seen Ferrigno as Sinbad confronting the Old Man of the Sea, who mounts his shoulders and puts a stranglehold around his neck and forces him into servitude for a few days until Sinbad, near death and exhaustion, intoxicates the old man with wine fermented from grapes and finally escapes certain death. I would give anything to have a still/picture of that adventure - Ferrigno, bodybuilder - carrying an old, frail-looking creature on his shoulders!" Frank de laVina
