Viewing Notes
Recently bought the newly released Blu from Twilight Time and knew I would crack it open during the holidays. Another film from my Childhood Movies Project and definitely one I haven’t seen in many years. Completely forgot that Jane Seymour is the princess in this. Boy does she look stunning.
The wonderful Harryhausen creatures are what I remember most about this movie (and begging to see it at the theater but being denied; later watched it on HBO many times). The Minoton is so awesome and meets the worst fate. The Trog / Sabertooth fight is so great. I also forgot that the baboon and troglodyte are buddies.
Silly movie with possibly the dumbest genius alchemist ever. I adore this movie and look forward to future viewings. Sadly the blu only has one extra: the Dynamation commercial. That’s unfortunate but still a decent release.
Always thought it was hilarious that this was rated G even with all the violence, death and brief nudity. MPAA was on drugs back then.
