History Film / The7thVoyageOfSinbad

* AlasPoorVillain: The dragon's dying is treated as a sad moment with the creature slowly and painfully bleeding out from the giant crossbow bolt in its neck while the main characters leave, appearing to feel said that they killed a poor creature who was abused by its master.

''The 7th Voyage of Sinbad'' is a 1958 film featuring Kerwin Mathews as Literature/SinbadTheSailor, but ''[[SpotlightStealingSquad starring]]'' Creator/RayHarryhausen's stop-motion monsters. Despite the title, the story is actually based off of the ''5th'' voyage of Sinbad.

* {{Cyclops}}: There is a cyclops that looks like a giant one-eyed satyr with a horn on its head. A second one also in that film is easy to spot -- it has two horns. Reportedly, Harryhausen gave them goat legs so audiences would know they weren't played by men in costume.

* EvilIsHammy: Sokurah, at times.

* FatBastard: Karim is pretty fat.

* GenieInABottle: Or lamp, rather.
* GiantFlyer: The roc.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Sinbad’s face pretty much reads this when his last two remaining crew members kill the baby Roc. He’s right as the baby’s mother shows up after and she is pissed.

** The Baby Roc also counts. It was only a hatching and it was killed by the two hungry crew members.

* TragicMonster: 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.

* AssholeVictim: Karim, the captain of the mutineers falls to his death in a storm.

* FatBastard: Karim is Sinbad is pretty fat.

* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: because not enough of his old crew will risk returning to Colossa, Sinbad decides to recruit criminals who had been sentenced to be hanged instead. [[spoiler: They almost immediately mutiny and attempt to use Sinbad's ship to become pirates.]]
* AssholeVictim: The captain of the mutineers falls to his death in a storm.

* FatBastard: The captain of the thieves who mutinies against Sinbad is pretty fat.

* ApothecaryAlligator: There is a stuffed alligator mounted on the walls of the Sokurah's workshop.

* GratuitousLaboratoryFlasks: Sokurah has a lot of (slightly anachronistic) chemistry (alchemical?) equipment in his lab in his castle, including a really fancy CrystalBall. The only thing he's seen using, however is a mortar and pestle.

Legendary adventurer Sinbad the Sailor and his crew discover the fantastic island of Colossa. There they encounter Sokurah the magician, who is desperate to obtain a magic lamp. When he fails to entice Sinbad into helping him fight the Cyclops, Sokurah then concocts an evil potion to shrink Princess Parisa (and Sinbad's fiancée) down to the size of a mouse. With the only know cure for the princess on the island of Colossa, Sinbad has no choice but to go back with Sokurah to the island if he is to save Parisa.

* AlasPoorVillain: The baby Roc and its [[MamaBear mother]] (if you can even call them villains), and [[TragicMonster Sokurah's dragon]].
