Sinbad of the Seven Seas
A dazzling adventure of faraway lands and heroic spectacles, this heart-soaring epic follows the brave Sinbad the Sailor (Lou Ferrigno,

Sinbad sets forth on a journey to retrieve the five sacred gems of Basra that will defeat Jaffar, which Jaffar has dispatched to places of great evil. He must succeed before Jaffars spell saps the will of the Califs daughter Alina, the beloved of one of Sinbads crewmen, and forces her to marry him. Also starring John Steiner, Roland Wybenga, Hal Yamanouchi, Alessandra Martines, and Ennio Girolami.
