Your thoughts on this movie.....

Perseus must battle both Medusa and the Kraken to save the Princess Andromeda.

 

[Janine The Barefoot]

The end of the "Magical B Movies" for me anyway and I can relate to Harry's disappointment.

As for SW's version.... blechhhhhhh.........

Is this the one with the robot owl?

Yes, that's the one. Bubo the clockwork owl....

The remake had a little in-joke about it.....

Whatever the shortcomings of the film may be, Medusa was certainly the stuff of nightmares at the time.....

I think the film remains watchable enough. But the novelisation topped it I think. Just much more depth. Alan Dean Foster seemed to have a knack of putting meat on the bones of a screenplay.
