Look for about two seconds of footage from The Magic Sword (1962) at 0:20 of the trailer!

I would love to see the 007 rip with Sean's brother!

I was going to say, given the age we live in, it would surely be available online somewhere.

If it weren't for the clips of Star Wars at the beginning and the end, it really has little to do with ripping off the Lucas epic even if that was the original intent. It's more like Indiana Jones and Flash Gordon as the soundtrack cues hint at - plus, a lot of Turkish religious mumbo jumbo. Saw a 'highlight' reel at a convention years ago. It's basically all you need. Once you see the Star Wars clips, hear the ripped off music, seen the funny costumes and witness a silly faux martial arts bit or two, that about sums it up. The rest is tedium. A newly restored version is out there which only helps bring visual clarity to how inept it all is.

I have a (bootleg, of course) copy someone gave me. I haven't gotten around to watching the whole thing yet, but I'm still glad it's been preserved. It's a shame it could never get an official release, given how much copyright infringement it has in it.
