3. True or False: Sinbad was looking for another island when he came across the island of Colossa.

THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD
Directed by Nathan Juran - 1958
6. What words invoked the Genie's (Richard Eyer) protective powers?
7. Someone with the power to see into the future could command almost anything their heart desired. Maybe Sokurah had everything he wanted, save for the lamp. That would explain why he only asked for this in exchange for the vision that was foretold to the Caliph (Alec Mango).

9. In the story of the Argonauts, Orpheus sang to keep the men from succumbing to the Sirens. What saved Sinbad from the wailing demons?
10. Sinbad remarked, "Allah knows many ways of dealing with hungry men" after Rahan fell to his death. How did he deal with the dragon that guarded the entranceway to Sokurah's underground castle?
