In this second Sinbad film, “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad,” John Phillip Law replaces Kerwin Mathews in the titular role of the legendary mariner for the first one, 1958’s “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.” This sequel feels a bit grander (it’s also a little longer than “7th Voyage”) and the locales, score, and pace seem to be ratcheted up.
This adventure begins with Sinbad and his crew sailing on the high seas. They encounter a mysterious flying creature known as a homunculus, carrying a glimmering object. One of the sailors shoots at the creature with a bow and arrow, which causes the object to fall from its claws and onto the deck of the vessel.
