Product Description Sinbad battles a man-eating cyclops, a fire-breathing dragon and a two-headed roc in this legendarytale of adventure and romance on the high seas. Set Contains: Given the stature of Ray Harryhausen and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad in the history of movie special effects, it's no surprise that the supplemental features on the film's 50th Anniversary DVD strike a deeply reverential tone. Phil Tippett and Randall Cook--both effects legends in their own right thanks to RoboCop and Lord of the Rings --pay homage to Harryhausen by joining him on the informative commentary track, which also features Bernard Herrmann biographer Steven Smith and Arnold Kunert. Harryhausen provides a wealth of information about the film's production on the track, and on a 20-minute interview featurette (produced by Kunert, which showcases some of his original production sketches and the skeleton model Kerwin Matthews battles in the film. More tributes pour in on The Harryhausen Legend , in which directors and effects creators ranging from John Landis and Joe Dante to Rick Baker and Dennis Muren recall how the awe they felt after seeing 7th Voyage helped to steer them towards their careers. Smith is front and center for an informative featurette about Herrmann's work on Harryhausen's films and fantasy features in general, while Landis hosts an agreeable 1995 interview with Harryhausen that focuses on his work in Jason and the Argonauts . Excerpts from the 1986 documentary Aliens, Dragons, Monsters and Me offers interviews with Harryhausen's longtime producer Charles Schneer and Matthews, while an eye-popping montage of international posters for the feature is showcased under the amusing novelty song "Sinbad May Have Been Bad, But He's Good To Me," a promotional single released in conjunction with the picture in 1958. Anyone who's ever been wowed by Harryhausen's groundbreaking effects in 7th Voyage or any of his fantasy-adventures will want to make room for this edition in their collection. -- Paul Gaita
