Sandokan the Great (1963) 4/10


Sandokan the Great is an early Umberto Lenzi film about a Malaysian folk hero, Sandokan that fought the British.

I rented this thinking it might be gory or maybe just bizarre but really, its just boring. Nothing really happens. Tigers and elephants attack our hero but its obviously stock footage edited together with what was shot for the film. The picture was not restored and looks like it was made from a print that was left out in the sun and stepped on by said elephants. Maybe if the picture and color was restored it would be a little more bearable but ultimately this is just another low budget Italian adventure flick with no adventure.

Gore - none
Overall - 4/10
