Jason and the Argonauts: Difference between revisions

* [[Oh Crap]]: When Hercules {{spoiler|realizes he has awaken [[Living Statue|Talos]].}}

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Honor Blackman steals the show in the Harryhausen film, playing Hera.

* [[Redshirt Army]]: Jason apparently picked the best athletes etc in Greece yet hardly any of them actually do anything interesting apart from the two who get killed by the skeletons at the end. Oh and the guy who jumped in after Acastus.

** [[It Gets Worse]] when you remember that all the Argonauts were powerful heroes and demigods in their own right, and several have their own myths independant of the Argonauts!

** [[The Smart Guy]]: Orpheus or Argos

** [[The Chick]]: Medea (could also count as a [[Sixth Ranger]] since she joins the crew when the story is nearly over)

* [[Hot Witch]]: Medea in the Hallmark one.

* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: Pelias, Aetes, the Sage, we're looking at you.

* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Unlike in the myth where the Argonauts are famous heroes or princes prior to the quest, Jason mostly recruits peasants not as much for skills but for pluck. Castor and Pollux are stoneworkers. [[The Odyssey (Literature)|Odysseus's]] future dad Laertes is a cowherd who vaults over charging bulls for fun. {{spoiler|Later he vaults straight into the dragon's mouth.}}

* [[Redshirt Army]]: Several Argonauts die in the course of the film, even {{spoiler|Hercules and old Argus himself}}. The body count snowballs as the film progress.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Castor and Pollux

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]
