Viewing Notes
Sadly the ‘74 Harryhausen flick doesn’t hold up so well today. at least not as i remember it. for those vaguely familiar w/this one (2nd of the Harryhausen Sinbad trilogy) Golden Voyage features the one-eyed centaur vs. griffin stop-motion climax. But the movie itself is a bore and the real “action” doesn’t begin until around 40 minutes into it! the 6-armed statue of Kali coming to life is pretty cool but even Harryhausen’s creatures cannot save a drag of a movie. However, I must say that the real high point of the flick is Caroline Munro whom I had forgotten was a b-movie siren in her own right from the 70s along the lines of Raquel Welch.
