Treasure of the Four Crowns is a follow-up to the huge grossing 3D extravaganza Comin’ at Ya! which is credited with launching the Silver Age of 3D moviemaking, it’s earned its place in movie history

One doesn’t watch a shlock film like Ferdinando Baldi’s Treasure of the Four Crowns for any kind of compelling narrative or complex characterizations. It’s strictly popcorn movie fare, and it’s lite popcorn at that with its confusing title, less than sterling special effects, and slack direction and plothole-ridden storytelling. But as the follow-up to the huge grossing 3D extravaganza Comin’ at Ya! which is credited with launching the Silver Age of 3D moviemaking, it’s earned its place in movie history. The plotting and helming may be second-rate (if we’re being kind), but lovers of 3D won’t be able to get enough - notes by Matt Hough - May 17, 2022

In 1981, Ferdinando Baldi’s Comin’ at Ya! had rebirthed the once-thought-dead 3D theatrical format.

Comin’ at Ya! was a 3D Western in which the plot wasn’t as important as the plethora of objects hurled at the camera to execute the stereo-processed visual effects, giving you plenty of dimension for your dollar. It did quite well, and two years later, the same team released Treasure of the Four Crowns, which obviously took its cues from the success of Raiders of the Lost Ark (as did many other films, large and small). Returning as the lead was Tony Anthony, and new to the table was the incomparable Ennio Morricone, who delivered a surprisingly lush score - notes by Tim Salmons
