This movie needs its own documentary.
I would honestly love to see that.
ah, this is the 2nd movie where a villain with the last name Kahn/Khan is shot in Petra.
You can’t convince me this wasn’t a zen-filmmaking movie based on The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen/Time Bandits/Princess Bride
Also, I thought you were playing up your laughter at the end of that, but then I witnessed it. It’s a good thing you put in that disclaimer about not editing the ending shots of the movie.
Words don’t really describe this movie do they? It’s like movie decoupage.
The laughter was genuine, that ending cracks my shit up!
I think the production of this movie should have been permanently shutdown, because if you can’t bring back a majority of the cast back to finish the last half of the movie, just stop making your damn movie.
The “Dark Knight” in this movie is obviously no Batman.
9:25- You could call it offensively stupid.
All the characters coming out of the book instantly reminds me of a shitty version of Jumanji.
12:32- He sounds like a rejected Middle-earth villain.
15:07- WORST. ZEN RIDDLE. EVER.
19:30- Oh, for the love of cheese, YOU ARE NO BATMAN, DICKWAD!
20:40- Please, movie, just stop.
26:18- You mean it hasn’t fallen apart already?
I’m surprised that Dean Stockwell’s character never called anyone an “eesshole.”
30:06- …What the fuck was that all about? I was also thinking of the ending t A Nightmare on Elm Street (both the original and the 2010 reimagining).
No wonder this movie is rated 2.2 out of 10 on IMDB. Thanks, Lupa, for this review of one of the worst of the worst, which are your best reviews in my eyes.
Precisely. And if you already have trouble finishing the movie, what with the majority of the cast buggering off, don’t end on a f-ing cliffhanger.
I don’t know Lupa, I saw that Russian Sinbad movie that MST3K Riffed, that was a lot of white people.
Never is a dull time when you review such hilarious train wrecks like this movie. I have seen some bad Sinbad movies, but this was a the worst and in the best possible way so. Although it may not help I have gotten into the habit of watching Asylum movies again on SyFy, so its great to enjoy the cheapness and sometimes lack of effort.
I dont know if you ever will again, but it would be great if you could review more Asylum movies again like Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf or Zombie Shark. What can I say, I recently go my old Asylum addiction back again.
You can beat the cruel wizard; can’t you?
He’s called “the cruelest wizard,” not “the cruelest good wizard.” He could be the equivalent of a yellow belt in wizardry.

Wait wait wait, not so fast movie. I saw that boom mic.

You weren’t kidding Lupa. I must have rewatched that thing at least 5 times and it’s still hysterical. I wasn’t ready for that the first time and my soda went all over the place.
Words… hell, onomatopoeias signifying confusion fail me.
I think you’re right. This is a thing that needs to be experienced in full.
I thought for sure you were going to end it on a triple zoom-in freeze frame of your face!
I saw this movie once not really realizing I had seen this. I was rather drunk and it was on in the background at a friend house. I had no idea what movie it was until now.
This…is amazing….its like merlin’s mystical shop of wonders bad…holy shit. That ending.
At least Dean Stockwell had BSG to look forward to after this movie. He went from swept under the run train wreck back to quality again!
Merlin’s Mystical Shop of Wonders was pretty bad, but not in a memorable hilarious way. This is more like a bad dub that was Bruno Mattei’d into another unrelated movie, with Master of Disguise levels of bad.
PFFFFTT aaahahahahahaaa XD
Those ending zooms, what the hell where they thinking X’D
There could not possibly be a more comedically timed series of cuts and edits than the awful silent slo-mo, and a freeze frame on that hilarious face. I thought for sure that the second zoom would be the funniest, but then it just goes right into his face and I lost it.
Thank you, this was amazing to behold.
The DVD cover looks like it said Sinead, as in Sinead O’Connor.
I hear Blip is getting the axe. I imagine you’ve either already ported all your stuff to Youtube or are in the process of it.
Dante Bosco…I’ve only ever seen him in Hook, but he is immediately recognizable as Rufio from Hook.
Murky Khan looks like the love child of Murky Dismal & Queen Amidala.
It’s got all the comedy of a bad dubb without the mismatched lip count.
Was the lamp soaked in water?
Dean Stockwell…. I haven’t laughed this much at a villain since Warriors of Virtue.
Can the human body handle Sinbad back-to-back with The Incredible Bulk before the laughter explodes the heart?
The ocean is a desert with its life underground and the perfect disguise above
At first, I thought that you were overselling the ending… until I saw it. I was laughing hard, too. I’m still coughing from all that laughing. What really got me was the zooming. Why that much zooming? LOL. 😀 😀 😀
isn’t Richard Greco basically… just a dude who likes appearing in film? AFAIK he is not even a professional actor. 🙂
You should review Almighty Thor someday, Greco is amazing in that – he chews the scenery as much as Murki Khan.
And LOL, yeah the main villain is silly. 🙂
Dean Stockwell reminds me of Brian’s mom in the Life of Brian. Only high as a kite.
Obviously Sinbad is in a desert because the desert is an ocean with its life underground, and the perfect disguise above
