Eye of the Tiger is IMO the WORST Sinbad flick!! Or at least the worst of the three that I have seen.
The problem is PATRICK WAYNE. Dude CANNOT act his way out of a paper bag! He delivered his lines in a flat monotone throughout the film. GAWD he is awful!!
7th Voyage is the best Sinbad movie that I have seen, followed by Golden Voyage. Eye of the Tiger just SUCKS!!!

Don't agree. Though I also feel that this is probably the least of the three films, it's not bad. I sure liked it when I saw it at the age of five, and it still has kind of a magical feel to it.
shareSure while it's not as good as the other two it's still pretty good. After all one of the three has to be the best or worse.. lol
Doubt if anyone was looking at Patrick Wayne, as Jane Seymour was there in scanty attire at her youthful beauty peak, and Margaret Whiting was fascinating and alluring as an aging yet hot Zenobia! Something for everyone!
sharebothpartiessuck,
I've gotta totally disagree with you. While you can make some decent comparisons to The Golden Voyage (because it directly preceded Eye of the Tiger), you can't really compare it to the one made in 1958. That's almost a 20 year gap. Clearly, Eye of the Tiger has the best effects of the three and the cast was really good. Patrick Wayne was a great Sinbad and his acting was just fine. John Philip Law actually looked better and sounded better, but each man played him differently. Kerwin Mathews was probably my least favorite, due to his acting and ethnicity (he was pretty white for Sinbad, but just a minor nitpick). The Golden Voyage felt awkward in places, especially with the film quality and the "studio feel" of the sets. But let's be fair and just judge them individually. They really were three distinct movies and each have merit for bringing the story of Sinbad to life.

I'd say it's the weakest, but it's still an exciting movie.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you on the general suckitude of "Sinbad & The Eye of the Tiger". I had just recorded it on my dvr & am just rewatching it now after having watched the previous two ("7Th Voyage of Sinbad" & "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad") & maybe the fact that it's the only one of the three without "Voyage" in the title should have warned us because while the first two films are excellent examples of fantasy with equally superb writing, acting, directing, music, & production design, THIS (Eye of the Tiger)just lays there with bad writing, bad directing, bad acting, bad EVERYTHING with the singular exception of the always great Ray Harryhausen. It's definitely not hard to see why this is the last of the Sinbad films that he did because it sucked so badly that no doubt everyone's enthusiasm for another one was completely evaporated when all was said & done. Patrick Wayne IS awful as you say having positively NONE of the dashing charisma of the prior two Sinbads but blaming him solely for this film blowing is like blaming one ember in a forest fire. It was practically ALL crap so Patrick Wayne can claim as much innocence as any other individual snowflake in an avalanche can, he was only part of the problem nothing more. I hate to see a great franchise end on a bad note like this but more often than not that's the case because as long as people are buying what they're (The film makers) are selling then they'll keep on supplying it. The reason that films like this, "Halloween:Resurrection", "Smokey & The Bandit 3", or "Jaws 4: The Revenge" are the last ones in those film series is because they're the worst of the worst, & aren't just the last of that series but the LEAST of them as well. They left a bad taste in many people's mouths & so they (The movie going public) try to forget about the whole film series, wrongly throwing out the baby with the bath water by retroactively blaming the great entries (Like the first 2 Sinbad flicks) for the sins of the really bad one rather than seeing the awful entry as the abomination that needs a follow up which returns said franchise to its previous glory. I see it time & again as a lover of film. Hopefully, in this reboot & remake crazy culture of today someone will make a new Sinbad feature more in line with the first two Sinbad films that were great & perhaps they'll even pay an homage to the tremendous work of Harryhausen without whom none of these films would have even been made much less became the classics that the (At least the first two) Sinbad films did.
