Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough not submitted to the British Board of Film Censors for theatrical release, it was however purchased by the ITV network. Dubbed into English and using the title Ali Baba and the 7 Saracens, the UK television premiere was on 9 December 1991 on Yorkshire Television who selected it for the sixth of their "Roman Follies" series, a light-hearted season of the worst of the Italian epics.
- Alternate versionsThe editing is different in the Italian and English language versions, the scenes appearing in completely different order, and the director's cut being 13 minutes longer than the English dubbed version.
Featured review
Fatima I love you, who wouldn't?
Ali Baba and the seven Saracens is one of the Italian made flicks with no budget and god-awful dubbing. So why bother? Two words; Bella Cortes. Huzzah, what a babe! She puts most other women in these sword and sandal flicks to shame. Plus shes kind and sweet and the only actor in this who doesn't feel the need to shout every line of dialog.
The plot, if you can find one, concerns Ali Baba ( or it might be Sinbad) seeking to get the Golden Throne away from Omar the tyrant. Actually Gordon Mitchell play Omar pretty well, its just no motivation is ever given for his brutality. For that matter Ali Baba never seems very heroic either. Still there are some fun scenes, Jukki the midget is a different hero and the whipping of the harem girls and the half-crazed but good-hearted Eunnich is fun. The music here is very close to the themes heard in "The BLue Rose" with Steve Reeves. Same composer? This is probably more fun to watch with a group so you can boo and hiss at the appropriate times. The big plus here is Bella Cortez as Fatima, wow! For that alone, its worth a look.
