{{quote| '''Stygian Witch:''' [Medusa's blood] is deadly and poisonous. But you have touched the eye. Just as it has the power to give us sight, so it can make your cloak -- your ''red'' cloak -- proof against the blood.}}
* [[Mauve Shirt]]: Thallo. Up until Calibos deals with him.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: [
* [[Medusa]]
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: Part of the reason [[Laurence Olivier]] was cast as Zeus. Probably the same with Maggie Smith.
Line 77:
* [[Snake People]]: Medusa
* [[Shadow Discretion Shot]]: Calibos' transformation from man to monster. Necessary in that such effects were otherwise impossible to render cheaply in 1981.
* [[Shout
* [[Standard Hero Reward]]
* [[Stay in The Kitchen]]: "Too perilous [a journey] for a princess."
Line 104:
== ''Clash of the Titans (2010)'' ==
* [[3D Movie]]: Although it wasn't filmed that way.
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: [http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.99245.1313907675!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_630/image.jpg Medusa] ([http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/galleries/clash_of_the_versions_which_titans_is_better/clash_of_the_versions_which_titans_is_better.html#ixzz1Uq0GAc5x the source of that image] - page 5 of the slideshow - even asks "why is a monster whose face is supposed to be able to turn any man into stone being played by [
** This becomes [[Fridge Logic]] if one knows that Medusa received her curse ''because she was so very beautiful'' [[Unfortunate Implications|driving Posiedon to rape her in Athena's temple]]. Whether or not she was made so grotesque that her face turned men to stone - or retained her beauty but had her gaze cursed so that "no man could look upon her" is a matter of interpretation.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The gods are wearing medieval European suits of armor! Contrast with the goddesses, who wear classic Hellenic attire.
Line 130:
* [[The Dragon]]: Calibos to Hades.
* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]: Note to Acrisius: When attempting to murder your wife and the bastard son of the thunder god, refrain from doing so on top of a cliff, in a storm while waving your sword around like a lightning rod. [[Fate Worse Than Death|The results are... unpleasant to say the least.]]
* [[Double Standard Rape (Divine On Mortal)]]: Medusa and Danae, both of whom get punished for being raped.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: All of Sam Worthington's performance as Perseus. He's recently apologized for his unconvincing acting in the movie and promised to do "[[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] better".
* [[Dwindling Party]]: Don't get too attached to all those soldiers.
Line 163:
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]! {{spoiler|He's made of wood. Wood is flammable.}}
*** [[Fridge Logic]]. {{spoiler|Then how did he survive that long when he was made of wood and fire?}}
* [[Mass "Oh Crap"]]: When Hades makes his appearance in the throne room scene, it's obvious everyone is thinking [[Oh Crap]], especially the queen who had just finished saying [[A God Am I|that they were the new gods.]]
** The arrival of the Kraken seems to sum this up.
* [[Mickey Mousing]]: During the battle with the scorpions, the musical "stings" accompany the scorpions' attacks.
Line 177:
* [[Oh My Gods]]: Largely averted, at least with Perseus. Sam Worthington seems fond of saying "What the hell is/was this/that?" instead of "Tartarus" or something along those lines.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Io.
* [[One to Million
* [[Opt Out]]: The monster hunters ([[Know When to Fold
* [[Pegasus]]
* [[Plot Hole]]: The entire plot of the movie hinges on internal contradictions.
Line 207:
* [[Serial Escalation]]: Just how much bigger can the Kraken get?
* [[Shining City]]: Argos (somewhat). Olympus takes it [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Shout
* [[So My Kids Can Watch]]: [[Liam Neeson]] took on the role of Zeus because his sons thought it would be awesome.
* [[Taking You With Me]]: The {{spoiler|Djinn}} does this to {{spoiler|Medusa}}. It doesn't quite work, but does provide a crucial distraction.
Line 270:
* [[Lady of War]]: Andromeda, although more as a strategist.
* [[Last of His Kind]]: By the end of the film, there's only one real god left, and even he is no longer immortal.
* [[Legendary in The Sequel]] / [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?]]: Perseus is still hailed as a great hero for his victory over the Kraken and is given a salute of honour by Andromeda's army.
* [[Love Redeems]]: {{spoiler|Hades of all people.}}
* [[Made of Iron]]: Compared to the first movie, Perseus takes ''a lot'' of punishment, and it shows on his body, yet it's still much more than a normal human would be able to take - [[Justified Trope|he's a demigod after all]].
Line 282:
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Agenor.
* [[Second Love]]: Andromeda to Perseus.
* [[Shout
* [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]]: Io appears only as a tombstone.
** {{spoiler|Poseidon also gets just SLIGHTLY more screentime here before getting killed off.}}
