That was an excellent one.

Great Film overall

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The second part of the Sandokan films has more action and more fighting than the first one. The story is the same as in Part 1, maybe a bit less romantic and with a bit less background story but Sandokan and his men fighting for the freedom of his people and country against the even more evil British colonial forces. This time we saw three major battles here. The first one on a Dutch ship, occupied by British soldiers. The pirates attack the Ship where Sandokan is still on board and massacre the British soldiers in series on deck. This continues in the second battle when the imprisoned Sandokan escapes from a labour camp with a mine. Once again the Malayan fighters take over a machine gun and Sandokan begins a mass slaughter of the British soldiers. During the machine gun raid and in a fight after this almost 100 Britsh soldiers (I count 96!) were massacred. Red British uniform en masse lying around in the yard of the camp, completely and one-sided defeated by Sandokan. The is violently stuff but the action is cool and a must have in this kind of movies I think. At the end of the movie there is another battle (or should I say another massacre?). Sandokan and his men free a noble Malayan from a mountain fortress. Once again we saw a mass kill of soldiers, slaughtered everywhere by the natives and this means a final triumph of the natives over the British rule.Tough and violent action in this movie. If you like mass battles and 60's Italo Trash Movies, this is the right one for you.

Shot on location in Singapore, this sequel to SANDOKAN THE GREAT sees both director Umberto Lenzi and star Steve Reeves returning to offer up more of the same, an action-adventure movie which basically jumps from one escape/attack to the next (with a smattering of romance) and is fairly entertaining in an old-fashioned sense. The film is ever moving forward with plot intrigue, and the battles take place in varied locations, like at sea, in enemy prison camps, and the like. Heck, even the same machine gun as in the first film is brought back, this time at in a mine prison camp, where Reeves rides a cart through the tunnels whilst gunning down dozens of the enemy soldiers - a very cool sequence.Visually, the film is picturesque throughout, and it's so close to the feel of the first movie that even some of the minor niggles are the same - for instance, Lenzi shoots at least one of his major battles in the dark, which is again frustrating because you have no idea what exactly is going on. Reeves puts in another assured performance as Sandokan, and has some fun fight sequences, including a brutal one-on-one with a fellow prisoner. Also returning from the first film are Dakkar, who thankfully has a greater role this time around, and a brief turn from Wilbert Bradley, who bizarrely died in the first film but returns as an ally here - I guess Lenzi's acting pool wasn't too large at the time this was made.Highlights include a scene in which a prisoner is about to be sacrificed to a crocodile, Reeves' aforementioned "machine gun ride", an attack by bloodthirsty natives (I'm suspicious that stock footage was used here though), and the large-scale battle that acts as the movie's finale. As fine a slice of old-fashioned escapism as you could wish for, and refreshingly serious throughout.

Steve Reeves stars for the second time as Sandokan a pirate who's proving ground is the South China seas.A superb drama filled with action and adventure. The filming seems have taken place in Malaysia and the sceneries are beautiful. This movie about a 19th century adventurer is refreshing in its lack of high tech gadgets or CG based special effects. All the actors are beautiful, and they engage in some of the best action scenes made for movies.One thing I'm curious is where they've filmed the final battle sequence. It looks awfully like the monastery that appeared in James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.Very good action adventure, that is a treat to watch.

This is a wonderful film! Shot on location in Singapore, it is the story of a Malaysian rebel, Sandokan, who, with his group of fanatic renegades, tries to thwart an evil British general from forcing the good king Hassim to resign in favor of the Imperial crown. I enjoyed this film quite a bit. The cinematography is lush, and the sets lavish. In one of my favorite scenes, a gang of rebels is attacked by bloodthirsty natives! Another scene finds a captive about to be fed to a hungry alligator. If you enjoy high-end historical adventure romances, this should whet your palate.
