I love the Sandokan adventures but this one didn't do much for me. Also, Ray Danton is a lame Sandokan compared with Kabir Bedi, or even Steve Reeves. 2/5

Pirate/Exotic. Italy/France/West Germany/UK. Starring Kabir Bedi, Philippe Leroy, Carole André, Andrea Giordana & Adolfo Celi. Directed by Sergio Sollima.

The second and last part of the feature lenght edit of Sollima's classic Sandokan mini-series. 5/5

Sandokan 1 (1976)

Pirate/Exotic. Italy/France/West Germany/UK. Starring Kabir Bedi, Philippe Leroy, Carole André, Andrea Giordana & Adolfo Celi. Directed by Sergio Sollima.

Wahlters Video (Sweden). English dubbed. Letterboxed (slightly).

Sollima's beloved Sandokan mini-series was also edited down to two feature lengh films. This is the first part and it's a classic all the way: simply the best romantic swashbuckler I have seen in my life! Everything is class A in this film/series: the story, the camera work, the sets, the music, the cast - especially Kabir Bedi, who was born to play this type of swashbuckling hero! I've liked him in everything i've seen him in (even the awful The Archerer and the Sorceress) but as Sandokan he really shines, this is the one he'll be remembered for. My highest recommendation. 5/5

The follow-up to Sandokan the Great is not quite as brilliant as the first movie, but still a wonderful adventure film and one of Lenzi's best! Steve Reeves is at his best, even if you don't believe him as an indian. 4/5

Boring crap. Reminded me most of best forgotten american "B" adventure movies, completely lacking the energy, spirit and pulp poetry of the 1960s italian adventure film. Great cover though! 1/5
