"Malaysian pirate Sandokan (Steve Reeves) and his brave men attempt to rescue Princess Hada of Sarawak (Jacqueline Sassard), and her father, the maharajah (Giuseppe Addobbati), from evil British invaders.

Not submitted to the British Board of Film Censors by any distributor, this became the first Steve Reeves epic not to be released in UK cinemas. However, it was purchased by the ITV network in 1988 and they were contracted to show it three times per region from 1 October 1988 to 30 September 1995. Billed as The Pirates of Malaysia (a direct translation from the Italian) and dubbed, HTV West screened the UK premiere on 13 November 1989. After touring the regions, the film's final transmission was for London ITV on 25 September 1995, after which it disappeared for 28 years. Talking Pictures TV started screening the movie again from 8 July 2023 under the title Sandokan: Pirate of Malaysia.
