Movie Summary


 Movie: The Magic Voyage Of Sinbad: 

Another Finnish swordbuster, this time telling the story of the Persian hero Sinbad. Only in Finland. Didn't know Sinbad ever visited Finland. Anyhoo, Sinbad returns to the city of Cobusan to find the town in rough shape, kind of like Potterville in It's a Wonderful Life. He immediately falls in love with the maiden Luberia, and sets out to find happiness for his hometown. When he brings a message of liberation to his people, he's laughed out of town. By the sea, he encounters a lovely yet completely whacked-out goddess of the sea. She offers Sinbad a golden fish, which seems to be a good thing, but when he sails out and catches the fish, bringing riches to his homeland, for some reason this cheeses everyone off. So Sinbad sets off with a crew of beefy Finns for what actually really does look like India, in search of the Bluebird of Happiness, which he wins in a chess game. Having angered the sea gods Neptune and his wife, Sinbad must play his autoharp for them in one of the spazziest scenes ever put to film.

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

Crow fixes the Third Annual SOLtie Awards! Servo goes ballistic.

 Invention: 

The Mads invent chin-derwear, underwear for your chin-butt. Joel and the 'Bots have the Rat Pack Chess Set! Sinatra, of course, is king.

 Segment 2: 

Joel, Crow, and Servo, dressed as the jesters in today's movie, gad about madly and collapse in a heap.

 Segment 3: 

Joel, Servo, and Crow dress like the Persian Finns from today's movie and make slapstick jokes about city council meetings.

 Segment 4: 

Crow goes on a quest like Sinbad, by shooting himself out the air lock. It doesn't go real well.

 Segment 5: 

The lovable "Channel Cat" visits the SOL: "Fisty" gives Frank a fine how-do-ya-do.

 Stinger: 

A most disturbing horse.


Reflections

The second in the Finnish troika for MST. I think we have a lot of fun with these babies because they are so bizarre. In some places unbelievably well shot and beautiful, as with the scenes in India; in others, such as the underwater musical number with Neptune, you could shoot whole popcorn kernels through your nose laughing. This film was like a rich dessert, and the host segments were easy, all we had to do is dress like the folks in the movie and gad about. Guaranteed funny, in the can. I love this job sometimes.
