Mustard Death Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Alright, so this movie is definitely awesome... haven't seen in it a year or so though. But I just got it on DVD and am about to rip apart its gloriously mythological wrapping and throw it in. Anyone else love this film? http://blog.1pageserver.biz/imgs/118297451132752.jpg http://monsters.monstrous.com/Pictures/Medusa08.jpg http://september29th.com/uploaded_images/clash-of-the-titans-785574.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 It was easily my favorite childhood film, I've seen it way too many times to count. It made such an impact that I marked out when I fought Perseus in God of War II and realized it was actually Harry Hamlin doing the voice acting in the game too. /nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty awesome... I still haven't played GOW II yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yep, he even puts that helmet on and runs around invisible for a while until you knock it off of him and stomp the shit out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I used to love that movie. I was really into Greek mythology back then (1981). Trivia for ya: Medusa's face was modelled after Joan Crawford. I liked Calibos' character (Lord of the Marsh). To me he was the exact representation of the devil.

Jack Aubrey Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Great movie! Some of Harryhausen's best work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I rented it for my kids a few years ago. (I forgot about the nudity. ) My kids thought the special effects were terrible but they liked it. (I remember the effects being better than they were. Maybe they should remake it with CG.)

rushgoober Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I LOVED this movie when it came out, and still thoroughly enjoy it when I see it on tv, though that's less often than in the past. The creatures are delightfully cheesy. All in all a very, very highly enjoyable movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be out of luck, Jack http://www.cinematical.com/2007/04/16/lawr...-of-the-titans/ I can't find any current info on this project, maybe it's stuck in development hell or something... but let's hope it's been scrapped.

WorkingAngel Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I missed that movie when it first hit the theaters but I caught it a year later on HBO. I remember just sitting there with my mouth hinged open and an amazed stare on my face. Fantastic movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
