* PinnedToTheGround: When Sinbad finds himself being attacked by an angry [[RocBirds Roc Bird]], he suddenly sees [[GenieInABottle Baronni the genie's lamp]] fall over, and Sokurah make a move for it. Sinbad immediately alerts Harufa, who runs for the lamp as well. However, Sokurah proves that he's no slouch in physical combat by wrestling Harufa to the ground, pinning him down with his body to prevent him from reaching the lamp. In spite of this, Harufa does manage to reach the lamp, and throw it over towards Sinbad, ensuring that even when the Roc grabs him, he still has the genie on his side. Furious at being denied what he sees as rightfully being his, Sokurah furiously punches Harufa while he's still lying down, then gets up, grabs a spear, and impales him with it.

** Sokurah's dragon has apparently spent most of its life chained up in his cavern home. For all its time on screen it's abused, attacked, and later ordered around by its ''master'' to attack the very people who freed it from its chains, only for it to die moments after it's defeated the Cyclopes. The characters almost look sorry for it after killing it.
** The baby roc was only a newly born hatchling and is killed rather brutally by the two hungry crew members. Sinbad and Sokurah are both angry at them for this – not just because it was cruel, but it promptly brings the wrath of the mother roc down on them.

* WizardWorkshop: The wizard Sokurah's lair, located in his castle in a cave on the island of Colossa and guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, contains alchemical equipment, manacles, a hanging skeleton (which he animates to fight Sinbad), some weapons, a CrystalBall, and the inevitable ApothecaryAlligator.

No points for guessing what happens to them when the Mother Roc discovers them having her offspring for lunch.

* CookingTheLiveMeal: A [[ClassicalCyclops Cyclops]] has taken Sinbad's men captive and locked them in a cage, before returning to remove Sinbad's {{Lancer}} Harufa and tie him to a spit over a fire whilst he's still live and screaming. The Cyclops even pulls up a stool to sit while it turns the spit, [[ItCanThink proving that the mute, brutish giant is more intelligent than it looks]]. Sinbad meanwhile escapes from the cage and saves Harufa while the cyclops is distracted.

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: Happens twice, with both times involving the BigBad Sohkura's efforts at slaying a cyclops that's been causing trouble for him on his home island.
** First, after becoming aware of how Sohkura possesses a lamp containing a genie, Sinbad asks him why he can't just wish for the genie to get rid of the cyclops. Sohkura responds by explaining how the genie is explicitly forbidden from causing harm to other living beings.
** Later, Sinbad's love interest Princess Parisa asks Sohkura, who just so happens to be a reasonably powerful mage, why he can't just kill the cyclops himself with his magic. As Sohkura subsequently explains, he ''did'' try exactly that by brewing a potion designed to kill the cyclops, only for this plan to hit a snag when he proved unable to get the monster to actually ''drink'' the potion.
