* ScreamingWoman: Completely averted. Andromeda may be the [[DistressedDamsel damsel in distress,]] but she faces both Calibos and the Kraken itself with stoic indignation, and tries her best to keep up with Perseus when he goes off on his quest to save her (until he leaves her behind, very much against her wishes, when he learns he's going to have to face Medusa). She is a brave person and definitely ''not'' a screamer.

* SnakePeople: This version of Medusa is much more snake-like than in myths, with her skin being scaly and her lower-half being that of rattlesnake. She resembles a Lamia more than the GorgeousGorgon she is in the myths.

''Clash of the Titans'' is the 1981 film adaptation of the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek myth]] of Perseus (played by Creator/HarryHamlin). Its main attraction is an array of StopMotion animated monsters created by Creator/RayHarryhausen, who retired from filmmaking shortly after it was released. The supporting cast is shored up with an array of name performers, most prominently Creator/LaurenceOlivier as Zeus.
