Crewman

Crewman

This guy was the last surviving crewman on the trip to Colossa, he appears to have been Karim's right hand man as he tried to control the ship during the wailing demon's attack. In Colossa when they finally reach the nesting area of the Roc (Not before he performs as very unique dance inside of the treasure cave...) he was starving and tired of all the climbing, with his other friend they break open the egg of a yet unborn baby Roc. He kills the little bird and they have it for lunch. When the mother bird returns she seeks revenge for the killing of her young, in the attack he tries to fight with the two-headed bird but with one bite from the Roc he falls off the cliff to his death.

Rahan

Played by: ??

Another prisoner that travels to Colossa with Sinbad and his men. He is able to survive the Cyclops while drunk due to reluctantly (he was scared of Sokurah's strange powers) drinking from the forbidden pool. As Sinbad and the rest start the climb to the very peak of Colossa he loses his balance and falls from the cliff to his death.

Crewman

Played By: ??

This guy is one of those enigmas we see him first in the treasure cave celebrating the finding of the treasure and fighting with Sinbad but then he along with Sinbad, Harufa and 3 other crewmen get captured by the Cyclops. During the commotion he seems to have escaped with his life as we don't see him die at all. Perhaps he returned to the ship? or found another way out of the island? got lost? who knows.

Crewman

Played By: ??

Of the last survivors of the voyage to Colossa, when they reach the nesting place of the Roc he decides to break open a yet un-born egg of a Roc. Him along with his crewman friend kill the young bird and have it for lunch but he pays with his life. When the adult Roc attacks he tried to fight back but he is the first to get knocked off the cliff and fall to his death.

Crewman

Played By: ??

Another one of those characters that has a few lines in the film. We first see him at the beginning of the film as Sinbad and crew seem to be hopelessly lost in the seas before finding the island of Colossa. The next day when they land we seen him carrying a basket full of fruits and vegetables, it seems that he returns to Bagdad but was not brave enough (or perhaps he was smart enough not) to follow Sinbad on the return voyage.

Crewman

Played By: ??

The mutinous crewman who turns on Sinbad when Karim and the rest of the prisoners overtook the ship. During the wailing demon's sequence he was placed at the look-out tower but succumbed to the terrible wailing of the demons and is killed by Karim when he was not able to follow orders as that loud wailing was too much for him to handle.
