Anybody like this?

I haven't seen Equinox, what is it? Like you, I recall segment of this film, but not very coherently. I remember the wizard fairly well, he was comic relief. He made his arm grow really long in one scene, going down the hall and where ever else you can think of, to the evil villian in an attempt to steal his amulet. Of course, the villian caught him and burned his hand, making for a hilariously panicked retread in fast motion! I remember Guy Williams leading his men into the treacherous jungle for some reason. There was a captive princess too, of course. I also recall the evil wizard falling to his death at the end and shattering into pieces. I would love to see ity again. I know it isn't an effects extravaganza like the great Harryhausen films, but I like Guy Williams! Thanks for replying!

"Sinbad and his crew had to climb this giant rope to get to the top of the tower where the villain's heart was kept" ... I remember that quite well now that you post it! El Kerim was rather cool due to the fact that he was separate from his heart. A remake...I don't know. I think I prefer the originals to remakes these days. I don't know as the one and only man capable of making a remake (Jackson) would be interested in something like Captain Sinbad.

Yes, the imagery stays with me as well, though the plotting is what is so fuzzy. Everything we recall seems to be correct, even if it isn't quite right, LOL! Thanks for clarifying about the giant rope and gong! Really, I have no clue as to why the film has completely disappeared. I recall seeing it on television on numerous occasions as a child.

Saw the final parts of it on TCM the other day. It looks great, really captures the spirit of a fantastic fairytale - of course some of the effects come out dated and the idea that this evil Prince would keep his heart openly like that (no human guards nearby?) is a bit iffy, but the Hydra monster on the cliff is really scary and the whole ambience is right.

That pillar stands out in everyone's mind...even if we did originally remember it as a giant rope, LOL! Was the magic formula you refer to the one the silly wizard used to grow his arm long?? I always loved that scene, but I am not sure if that is what you are talking about or not. It is kind of fun trying so hard to remember this film and getting to discuss it with others. I hate that it isn't available to us, but perhaps one day...

I love this film and wish I had it on tape.
It was on one Christmas morning, way back in the late 60s early 70s in the UK and it has such happy memories for me. Wow, it would have been quite a new film then!
I loved that huge fist that he battles in the Wizard's tower!

One day I shall see it again.

I loved it. Back then we didn't know the special effects were cheesy. The characters and situations were most interesting ... I grew up in the seventies and was a Star Wars kid, so I had been sort of spoiled on special effects. I recall being very critical of this film and hating some of the effects and such back when I first saw it...yet for some reason I retained fond memories of a fun adventure. Weird, isn't it? For all my criticism when I was young, I never forgot it and look back fondly on it!

I loved it. I *still* love it. I was six when it came out. That was a better time. I'm sorry I don't have a good copy of it. Maybe someday I will.

And I stood where I did be; for there was no more use to run; And again I lookt with my hope gone.
