This Sandokan entry was decently directed by Luigi Capuano with an European cast and it contains rousing action , romantic adventure , mayhem and a fine cast doing a fine job . In the further story of ¨Sandokan the Great¨ , our hero saves the damsel in distress called Samoa (Franca Bettoia) and fights an evil ruler , Sir Charles Brooks (Mario Petri) .
Despite better production values than usual for genre standards, SANDOKAN FIGHTS BACK is a disappointingly routine Italian yarn with a very familiar plot and a poor performance from leading man Ray Danton which drags it down. Long periods of inaction highlighted by only a few good scenes of action make this a film difficult to watch and care about at all.
