Jason and the Argonauts

[onyx39]

Is just starting on BBC2

[ajprice]

Just turned on and caught the end of it. Skeleton army

[stuartmmcfc]

One of the best films ever. I must have seen it a 100 times over the years.
my Sister-in-law has NEVER seen it!!

[Anthony Micallef]

It looked even better in HD!

[TheHeretic]

Love that whole era!

[bexVN]

Caught the last 20 mins so got to see the Skeleton Army . Have seen this film so many times over the years, never bored of it.

[rupert the dog]

Wonderful!

[stuartmmcfc]

I once did a bit of online "research" into the film and apparently the location of the skeleton battle is now a hotel complex.
I wonder if anyone knows when they stay there?

I do wonder sometimes how much inspiration Nick Park took from Ray Harryhausen.

I don't recall Wendsleydale being mentioned at all in any of Harryharryhausenuesen's films.

Saw the remake last month. Pile of absolute ste compared to the original. They screwed up the storyline, the fight and battle sequences were boring and the special effects (bearing in mind what can be done now) were far less believable than Ray Harryhausen's originals!

Talos was a pussy. All he does is break their boat and the only guy he kills is the fella crushed by his falling body.

Anyone else noticed that Hercules is Colour Sergeant Bourne from Zulu?

That would be Talos

[stuartmmcfc]

Talos used to walk around Crete according to legend.
We're off there again this summer, for the 4th time, and my 5 yr old girl still sts herself everytime she hears a loud noise when we're there.
Never ceases to make me laugh,
