Yes, I’m definitely in the ”‘70s Caroline Munro” fanclub. I love how she flirts with 007 while trying to gun him down from a helicopter in The Spy Who Loved Me—shame she wasn’t in it more!

Braak, you’re very right about the solidity of Kali in that scene. She has a tremendous presence in it, a sense she could really slice n‘ dice you. I think it’s because her movements aren’t smoothed over the way CGI would be today that she seems more intimidating—as if a wizard really were controlling her, and not people at a computer.

I was just talking to someone about the Kali duel in this. There’s something about the sense of presence and solidity to the statue that I feel like is rarely recaptured in other films, especially CGI-heavy stuff.

I remember seeing this one in a local theater as a kid! Inspired weeks and weeks of my brother and I “playing Sinbad.”

Excellent review, Ryan!

My opinion on Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter? That’s an easy one, I wrote a review of it a few years ago:
