Scenes from ARABIAN ADVENTURE (1979)

This is an elaborate flying magic carpet scene with the good guys battling the bad guys on magic carpets. IMO, it's the main reason to watch the movie. Though some might say some of the action is clunky or not convincing, I like the entire scene just for the incredible effort that went into it. Director Kevin Connor went all out. It's like the STAR WARS fight scene but with magic carpets.

They used to show this movie on HBO all the time. It does owe a lot to Star Wars, but I will always prefer the Harryhausen Sinbad Films.
