Mike is a 60something guy with dreadlocks, in Alaska, weird enough. It's not so much a restoration show as it is trying to start up junker cars with spare batteries etc. The actual restoration work is done by other businesses that they send the car away to. The cars themselves don't get much screen time, as it's mostly about Mike, Mike's son, and Avery (shop manager) arguing. Mike complains about being in financial trouble, but it's due to Mike buying more cars than he sells, and buying back any cars that he does sell. Avery just seems to be a liability, who doesn't listen to his boss (grinds bolts off instead of using a socket/wrench, or breaks parts and complains that Mike's buying too many parts.) Rust to Riches (Gotham garage) is a much better car restoration show.

Oliver Tobias (prince hassan) is the prince of getting knocked unconscious in this film. Seriously, keep a count. The real hero of the story is the little child Majid. Excellent evil performance by Christopher Lee as the the evil sultan. The start of the film with the scenes in the market place are nicely done, but the rest of the movie is a bit of a let down - The scenes with Mickey Rooney are weird and could have easily been left out. Acting by Oliver Tobias is quite wooden and ruins the film. Some nice little cameos by Peter Cushing and a young Art Malik. Watch Thief of Baghdad (1977) instead.

Good, believable performances by the actors. Has some nicely done moments of emotion. Based on true events.

Decent zombie movie (a genre I typically don't like) that I enjoyed more than Train to Busan. Movie deals with the other problems you might encounter in a zombie crisis, I.e. Lack of supplies.

Has some well done moments of suspense.

Unsure why people are blasting the movies's special effects, they were done in the 1970s on a TV movie budget! Enjoy it for what it is, a typical evil Wazir wants to take over the kingdom and have the beautiful princess for himself, and the dashing prince must put a stop to it. With great though over-the-top performances from Roddy McDowell as the thief, and Peter Ustinov as the bumbling Caliph. Kabir Bedir does a decent job as the prince, far more believable and relatable than Oliver Tobias in Arabian Adventure (1979). A good fun and wholesome adventure film to watch with the kids.
