Clash of the Titans (1981) is the original Romantic Fantasy adventure about the Greek gods and the life of the heroic Perseus who rescued Aphrodite from a sea monster. Along the way, he meets the flying horse Pegasus, the small mechanical owl, Bubo, and other mythical beings. Old but decent, Clash of the Titans will stir nostalgia in even the forgettable.

Acrisius: Bear witness, Zeus, and all you gods on high Olympus! I condemn my daughter Danae, and her son Perseus to the sea! Her guilt and sin have brought shame to Argos! I, Acrisius the King, now purge her crime and restore my honor! Their blood is not on my hands.
Trivia: The story of the Kraken was not based on Greek mythology, but is in fact a story from Scandinavian mythology.
Question: Is it me, or does Medusa's head open her eyes as Perseus holds her head up after leaving the temple?
Answer: I watched this scene several times on YouTube. When Perseus walks out with the severed head, the eyes are closed. Just as Perseus raises it, Medusa's eyes suddenly appear to open. Zeus is then heard telling Perseus to "fulfil his destiny" amid the thunder and lightning. Her eyes are wide open at this point. I interpreted this as showing that Medusa's power still resides within the head, even though she is dead.

Answer: To me, it just looks like the way the prop catches the light as the actor lifts it up, and then higher up, the angle of the prop isn't catching the light in the same way.
