What happens

The Son of Sandokan (Italian: Il figlio di Sandokan) is a 1998 Italian adventure television miniseries. It is a sequel to the 1996 series The Return of Sandokan, which itself followed on from the original 1976 series Sandokan. All were based on the series of Sandokan novels by Emilio Salgari about a Malaysian pirate fighting against the British in the nineteenth century. Kabir Bedi reprised his role of Sandokan from the earlier series with Marco Bonini playing his son. The cast also included Padma Lakshmi, Marián Aguilera, François Guétary, Joss Ackland, Daniel Olbrychski, Alberto Dell'Acqua and Barbara Livi. It was directed by Sergio Sollima. Filming in Sri Lanka began on 22 August 1998, and was set to last three months. The episodes have never been aired in Italy or released on DVD because of heavy legal issues.
