* MaskingTheDeformity: [[TheGoodChancellor The Grand Vizier]] of Marabia, named heir to the throne after the sultan died without a son, wears a solid golden mask that covers his entire head. Below it, his face is nightmarishly scarred, with hairless, waxy skin, thanks to [[BigBad Koura]] the [[EvilSorcerer Black]] [[TheEvilPrince Prince]] [[KillItWithFire setting fire to it]], just to prevent the Vizier from becoming an obstacle to the throne he wants for himself. Towards the climax of the film, the Vizier [[DramaticUnmask takes off his mask]] to reveal his face and scare away the [[HollywoodNatives green men]] who are threatening to kill Sinbad and his crew, and at the end of the film, [[spoiler:once Sinbad puts the "crown of untold riches" gained from the Fountain of Destiny onto the Vizier's head, the mask melts away into thin air, revealing that the Vizier's face is now magically restored back to its full healthier glory, along with a full head of hair and a nice beard]].

* AbsoluteCleavage: Caroline Munro doesn't wear much on top and her cleavage is oiled up to attract the eye.



* MsFanservice: Margiana, played by Caroline Munro. Lord have mercy. Essentially her only role in the story is to look pretty in not very much clothing -- even her significant birthmark turns out [[spoiler:to just mean that she's supposed to be a sacrifice to the Centaur]].

Added DiffLines:

* NavelDeepNeckline: PlayedWith in regards to Margiana's outfit. It's open in such a way that it leaves most of her torso exposed, from cleavage to midriff, with only a tiny string of cloth holding it together beneath her breasts.

* EvilIsHammy: Sinbad's crew lives in a world of DullSurprise and {{Eye Take}}s. Koura, however, is a universe unto himself of ChewingTheScenery, the EvilLaugh, wailing, trembling, moaning magic words in an ecstatic sort of way and [[SayMyName shouting people's names really loudly]].

* EvilIsHammy: Sinbad's crew lives in a world of DullSurprise and {{Eye Take}}s. Koura, however, is a universe unto himself of himself, thanks in part to being played by Creator/TomBaker. Koura is marked by copious ChewingTheScenery, the EvilLaugh, [[EvilLaugh evil laughter]], wailing, trembling, moaning magic words in an ecstatic sort of way and [[SayMyName shouting people's names really loudly]].



* OccultBlueEyes: Koura has strangely-colored, unearthly blue eyes that receive a lot of camera and color-contrast attention whenever he uses his magic. Played up with copious {{Eyedscreen}} and some truly stunning {{Idiosyncratic Wipe}}s where the scene transitions from a shot of his face ''around'' his eyes, leaving them staring disembodied over the emerging scene for a very unsettling effect.

* TheGrotesque: The Vizier again, under that golden mask. Unusual for this type of character, he [[spoiler: gets a happy ending: his old face is restored and he becomes the next sultan!]]

* HopelessBossFight: Sinbad and his crew has no chance against the statue of Kali. Not only is it surprisingly fast and skilled with it's swords, but since the statue is made of stone, their swords are useless against it. They only win because Haroun manages to knock it off a ledge while it's busy fighting Sinbad, shattering it on the ground below.

* CatchPhrase: Sinbad's recurring piece of advice: "Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel."

* CatchPhrase: Sinbad's recurring piece of advice: "Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel." A somewhat more colourful version of the modern "Hope for the best, but plan for the worst."



* DeadpanSnarker: Sinbad. For example, when Haroun's father says Allah will smile upon Sinbad for taking on lazy Haroun, Sinbad quips, "More likely he will laugh in my face."
