I just watched this, possibly for the first time since I was eleven or so. I'm not sure if I've become more cynical, or if the film just hasn't dated well. Once so exciting (I mean, decapitation, yeah!), it now seems a mess of terrible acting and clueless plotting.
Also, why make Sean Connery an Egyptian via Spain, and have him use his regular accent?!
Apologies if this has been discussed at length before.
