Viewing Notes

Bought this store exclusive BFI disc from FOPP! when I was in London over the holidays. Turns out it’s region A/B/C so I didn’t even have to switch regions on the player.

There’s some fun stuff in this including the harpies and the amazing skeleton fight scene near the end.

This still isn’t the Harryhausen film I keep remembering with an animated skeleton fight scene that happens inside a cave. I thought it was part of the Medusa fight scene in one of the other movies but nope. So now I have no idea in which movie it is.
