For those of you unlucky to not know, Look In was a kids magazine that was billed as a Junior TV Times and featured TV stars, musicians and other pop culture figures. One obvious example is that of Superman which showed that a man really can fly…but especially when millions of dollars are pumped into the illusion.Ĭlash of the Titans received the ultimate honour on it’s release in that it was awarded a Look In Special. The film was made at a time where special effects were in transition with films with much bigger budgets being able to stump up for the effects they required. These involve back projection with figures being superimposed over the top of this- and it looks like it! Thankfully, these sequences are few and far between.

I love the fact that the film doesn’t sugar coat the darker aspects of these tales that are being depicted with the more gruesome aspects of Perseus’ adventures being shown in all their gory glory. The film is based on Greek mythology and revolves around Perseus and his exploits.

Watching the movie again almost forty years later, it fares very well indeed. I rented Clash of the Titans to watch whilst the gas wore off and the pain started. My father looked suitably proud) I was taken to Granada TV Rentals to rent a movie. As a treat after having these extractions (‘He made no noise whatsoever! I could have taken out his teeth all day!’ the dentist said to my Dad.

As a 10 year old boy I had to have 6 (count em- 6!) teeth removed in one sitting with my dentist due to my mouth being ‘overcrowded’.
