Personnal comments :
Don't you find a Terminator look-alike when seeing the hero, between the eye in the shadow
and the targets in the 'o'. And the screenplay remember me another movie titled "Last Action Hero"
with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jack Slater. And Sheherazade, what is she doing there,
it's not the place of the movie about Arabian nights.
And Jack Palance, really, accepting this job, what a deception...
Hey! Is it a fal ? Marco Polo has a fal in his hand ? Gosh, what a silly script ! And where
is the horse ? Maybe not a horse, more a T-Rex, seing the curious anacronisms of this, hum,
movie.
