On the greats in special effects for movies was Ray Harryhausen. This YouTube video is a short interview with him that the BBC did back in 1981. I share it because I found it interesting, so there may be other who do.

#ClashOfTheTitans (1981) was one of those movies I watched over and over again growing up. I know the cheese whiz level was pretty high looking back on it now, but it was fun back in the day.
I had forgotten about the crazy mechanical owl 😂

Medusa is really sweet behind the scenes and a huge encouragement to those new in the business, but Pegasus is a bit full of himself, and is a mean drunk who drinks on set ...

I was thinking how weird it must have been for actors to be cheering at a non-existent stop-motion Pegasus landing, bit then I remembered that today's movies are like 98% green screen.

How convenient that Medusa’s powers still work even after decapitation/presumably postmortem

"Release the Kraken ..." said unironically in a film: DRINK!

I liked Clash of the Titans the First time, when it was called The Black Scorpion ...

You never expect Medusa to have a gooey, melted caramel center but sometimes even mythology leaves out the fine details
#TCMParty #ClashOfTheTitans
I usually tend to cheer for Team Medusa when she shows up in sword and sandal films; regardless of her characterization in a particular movie. I root for the Jacobins in all French Revolution dramas as well ... no wonder my friends hate watching historical epic films with me ...

#ClashOfTheTitans
In the original script, Medusa was decapitated by Perseus throwing his shield. This butchering of mythology was done as an attempt to appeal to U.K.’s Standards and Practices censorship at the time that frowned upon heroes decapitating people, regardless of mythological accuracy. Harry Hamlin threatened to quit and eventually got enough crew to his side to get a proper beheading in the film.
