Not Filmed on Gozo
Welcome to our showcase of movies and TV shows that weren’t actually filmed on Gozo. While compiling the definitive list of productions shot on the islands of Gozo or Comino, we sometimes come across films and TV Shows that the internet mistakenly believes were filmed on either Gozo or Comino.
If it’s on this page, we’ve given it a thorough watch and can find no discernible trace of it being filmed here. We’ll try to include a link
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger
One of the many classic movies from the 70s to showcase the work of Ray Harryhausen. Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger follows our eponymous hero as he helps a cursed prince, while avoiding a wicked witch. This film has it all; a swashbuckling hero, a beautiful princess. a doomed prince, monsters and plenty of action.
Why we thought it was filmed on Gozo
We spotted the poster for Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger on a montage poster at the Gozo Film Festival in August 2025. Having now watched it, we couldn’t spot any easily identifiable parts of Gozo. Potentially some of the sea scenes take place around the island but in a film that’s almost 50 years old at this point, it’s almost impossible to confirm it is Gozo’s shoreline.
Where was it actually filmed
Spain, Malta, Jordan and the United Kingdom. The opening scenes include a composite castle that includes Mdina, and the water tank at Malta Film Studios was used for the ship sets and marine scenes.
