HILARIOUS SPECIAL EFFECT MOMENTS

    
 

QUOTES

Firouz: Rats are known for their bountiful breeding practices.
Maeve: I sense a presence here that means something quite different.
Sinbad: What do you sense?
Maeve: Something has changed here. I feel it. Something is with us now. Something that means us no good will.
Doubar: You give me the willies when you talk like that.
Maeve: Dermott senses it too.
 

Doubar: If I spent a week in an open boat… I’d be sleeping like a rock.
Firouz: Actually, rocks have no consciousness, and therefore, no experience of sleep.
 

Sinbad: It’s a fair night on the calm sea.
Maroof: The fair only hides the foul
 

Firouz: He drowned.
Sinbad: Impossible. I just talked to him not more than a minute ago. Firouz…?
Firouz: He drowned. And from the looks of him… it appears he’s been dead at least a week.

Fontassel: Don’t blame me for your accursed life.
Tallow: That I don’t. You and I just brought out the worse in each other. Temptation itched. And we both wanted to scratch.
 

Fontassel: I am still your captain!
Tallow: Then call this a mutiny of one.
 

Sinbad: This is your curse, not ours.
Fontassel: I’m more than willing to share.
 

Sinbad: No, no! Not just yet.
Doubar: Sinbad, may I remind you that a loony has just taken control of our ship.
Sinbad: A loony who also has a blade at Maeve’s throat.
 

Doubar: Damnation!
Sinbad: Yes, we’re not having much luck with doors today, are we?
Firouz: I hesitate to consider what Fontassel’s intentions might involve.
Doubar: Well, at this point, he certainly seems to hold all the cards…
Sinbad: …While still overplaying his hand, but one good trump card… and he’s going to be a loser.
Doubar: Let’s just hope we get dealt that card.
 

Sinbad: Sorcery!
Maeve: No. Punishment. For transgressing the gods, and abandoning their crew. He and his top mates became the unholy.
Doubar: They exchanged their souls for gold. Always a bad exchange rate.

POINTS TO PONDER

Why couldn’t the siren take care of the captain? She took care of all the others easily enough, even during the day when it wasn’t supposedly impossible. So was having Poseidon appear at the end to finish him off really necessary? All it did was give us some more awful CGI to look at. (Not that I’m really complaining—I love me some bad CGI)

But why is everyone looking at Maeve during that scene? Did they think she summoned Poseidon or something? She couldn't even take the captain's sword away from him, lol.
