Oh hell yeah. I remember one of the first things to just bowl me over in film was when I saw the skeletons fight during Clash of the Titans when I was, like, five or six or something.
Awesome, awesome stuff.
I don’t want to seem more nerdy than necessary – but are you thinking of Jason and the Argonauts with Todd Hunter in the title role?
That’s the one with the hugely complicated, beautifully choreographed skeleton fight.
Just for your amusement, the skeletons are referred to in the script as ‘the children of the Hydra’s teeth’!
It’s hard to imagine making films without computers!
Yeah, you’re probably right – I haven’t seen them for years and I think I probably watched them all in a marathon stylee.
I’m gonna have to do that again – I know my flatmate’s got ‘em. It’s gonna be great!
I’d watch any of ‘his’ films when I was young. I remember the bit in that film that impressed me most was when the statue Talos (which means ‘heel’ in Greek – you may recall how the Argonauts defeat it by partially de-feeting it) suddenly turns its head with a metallic creak.
How things have changed! I looked through Jurassic Park frame-by-frame in parts to see how they did things and I still couldn’t separate reality/models from CGI . Does anyone still say “The camera never lies”?
