Babes of Clash of the Titans (modern version)

Gemma/ Io was flawless. Even my mom said she was like a doll

Sorry, to me, she has a manface.
 
FYI:
Gemma Arterton (Io) was also in the latest Bond film ("Quantum of Solace"), plus the recent "Prince of Persia".

Alexa Davalos (Andromeda) had a large role in "The Chronicles of Riddick".

Alexa was also electric girl on Angel, IIRC.
 
Nice. I gotta get the DVD then. :D

Me too. I have yet to see the new version. I hope it's as good as the original. I really loved that.

Save yourself some coin and just rent it. Sadly, it doesn't come close to the original.

The original actually bothered to, you know, tell the story. The new one just seems to rush from action scene to action scene.

Cheers,

How is that different from any other movie made nowdays?

It was really that bad huh?

Exactly. One of the two reasons why I haven't seen too many films this year. (The other being "shaky-cam" editing / frantic cuts, or whatever name you pin to it.)

So, yes... to me, it WAS that bad. :(

Still, to each his own. It's worth a rent, if you're curious.

That wasn't actually Judi Bowker in that one scene in the original movie; it was a body double. There was also the brief shot of Perseus' mom walking along a beach nude.

I just rented it this Tuesday

Clash of the Titans- Thought it was cool but short. My cousins who play MMORPG might have liked Perseus getting an upgrade with a shield.

I didn't check yet but I saw Alexander Siddig in the credits.

I got a kick Neeson and Fienes reunited and Gemma and Mad's who were in Daniel Craigs James bond movies

Re: Judi Bowker:wtf:

Do you have a source for this? I had thought it was fairly firmly established at the time that she did it herself. Proof by way of parts not covered by swimwear and everything.
 
That would probably be the film's only redeeming quality.

I don't know, I thought it was okay. Not as charming as the 1981 original, and it has its faults, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Exactly. I mean, aside from nostalgia, the original wasn't exactly an untouchable classic. The old Harry Hamlin version was basically an inferior redo of a much better Harryhausen movie, JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS. So it's not like the new version was trampling on sacred ground, at least as far I was concerned.

Even back in the eighties, I thought the old CLASH suffered in comparison to DRAGONSLAYER, which came out the same summer. I never quite understood why CLASH did better at the box office.

I thought the new version was at least as good as the original--with the bonus of no silly robot owl!
