Sandokan (1976)
Real Boys'-Own - Good Stuff!
12 October 2011 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
I saw this in high school and what's not to like - sun-drenched beaches and seas, romantic sail-boats, manly men (both the Goodies and the Baddies), swords, tigers, battles, adventure, pirates, Robin-Hood-type send-ups of authority, sexual innuendo (but not too much), action, humour and drama.
Kabir Bedi is great as the eponymous "Tiger of Monpracem", and the rest of the cast work well in their roles. The setting is reasonably authentic, but with the sets, costumes and location, who cares!
This is a cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones (both copied Sandokan!), but without the ambiguities, star-centredness or the hocus-pocus.
If you live near the ocean, do not let your teen-age boys watch this!
