Product Description:

Amazon.com:
You have a classic tale full of drama, passion, and adventure. A tale of universal archetypes that speak to everyone. A tale that has remained unfailingly popular for thousands of years. Why not spice it up with a wacky mechanical owl? Such was the thinking behind Clash of the Titans. Maggie Smith, Laurence Olivier, and Harry Hamlin (one of these things is not like the others...) star in a toga-ripper about a valiant hero, capricious immortals, and lots and lots of giant stop-action monsters. Perseus (Hamlin) is the favored son of the god Zeus (Olivier), but he has unwittingly ticked off the sea goddess Thetis (Smith). Just to make things worse, Perseus falls in love with the lovely Princess Andromeda, who used to be engaged to Thetis's son. Soon Perseus is off on one quest after another, with Zeus helping, Thetis hindering, and lots of innocent bystanders getting stabbed, drowned, and squished. Of course, the whole thing is just an excuse to show as much of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation as possible, and good thing too. It's an old technique, but it still looks pretty darn cool, and it means the cast can just relax and do a bunch of reaction shots. Don't use this one to study for that big classical mythology exam, but if you just turn your brain off and enjoy the Kraken, it's pretty good fun. --Ali Davis

This is the same issue I have with one of my favorite guilty pleasures...DEATH BECOMES HER. It's pretty sad when your VHS looks better than the DVD. Hopefully the release of the remake will produce a better transfer of the original!

Once again, my wife Madena, was happy when she viewed Clash Of The Titans. She remembered this movie when it came out at the drive in (I think it was the early 80s), and she tells me that it was a great movie then, and it is a great movie now. Madena states that it is a beautiful presentation of Greek Mythology. I'm glad she is happy.

This movie is a CLASSIC. I loved watching this when i was younger and still love watching it now. Granted the special effects are not nearly as "special" when compared to today's films, but given the year it was made, this is a good movie. A+

As a longtime fan of Ray Harryhausen, I found this film to be a great disappointment when it first came out and to this day. Every time I see the mechanical owl, I want to throw a hammer at the TV. It is sad, because when Ray finally had enough production money to make a great film, it was laden with juvenalia. Give me even the silliest of his early films, I would take any of them over this overblown disaster. I love Ray Harryhausen, but not this film.

I remembered this movie from when I was a kid. I was a big Greek mythology buff. The movie doesn't follow the myth exactly, which can be a little frustrating for those of us that are mythology geeks. Overall the movie was fun and the kids loved it.
There is a tiny bit of nudity, when Danae is breast feeding her baby. Also, Perseus and Danae are walking on the beach and when Andromeda is bathing. I didn't think it was any big deal, but be warned.
