Sepiatone Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 TCM showing the old POPEYE MEETS ALI BABA and his 40 THIEVES made me think of something... Weren't there 40 BANDITOS led by Calvera in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN? And since that movie was a remake of the Japanese classic SEVEN SAMURAI, I confess not knowing how many bandits they were fighting in THAT movie, but if it too, was 40, makes one wonder just where DID the whole idea COME FROM?

hamradio Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Regarding Popeye, I'm wondering, this is the new 3D movie... ..but is someone working on this concept. It's going viral. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailer was a promo on what they were planning, but that got cancelled for some reason. The poster is just a fan art, not related to the trailer. I wish someone would make a Popeye movie or some sort again, bring him back in the limelight for a new generation of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 HEY! All I know is that when I was a kid and my mom would serve CANNED spinach for dinner, the ONLY reason I ate the stuff was because of this guy. (...it wouldn't be until I was older and out on my own that I'd discover that FRESH spinach didn't have to taste like a freakin' can and didn't have to be all mushy like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 The Arabian Nights. Yeah, I knew that. But as usual, I get an answer that's NOT relevant to the question. Unless, you ARE stating THAT'S where KUROSAWA also got some of the inspiration? As for Popeye, That new one up there looks kinda weird. Sure, a BETTER looking Popeye might please some, but there really needs to be a better looking OLIVE OYL! But no need to go OVERBOARD with it.
