  • To Skyrim fans, this is not the founder of the Tamriel Empire.

  • TALOS THE UNERRING! TALOS THE UNASSAILABLE! TO YOU WE GIVE PRAISE!! WE ARE BUT MAGGOTS WRITHING IN THE FILTH OF OUR OWN CORRUPTION, WHILE YOU HAVE ASCENDED FROM THE DUNG OF MORTALITY AND NOW WALK AMONG THE STARS

  • So, no wonder the Thalmor are scared of this guy.

  • 3:01 Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh get the f*** outta there!!!

  • what a film!!

  • Comment removed

  • Fools!

    

  • I hear worship of this guy was banned in Cyrodil by the emperor.

  • Kuwait's right! Beautiful:) * جميل احب هذه النوعيه من الافلام

  • Instead of the new Freedom Tower in NYC, they should've built Talos.

  • Didn't Jason say something about Talos?

    ...Yeah. Don't steal any of his shit!!

  • @livee89 same

  • Man, Talos used to give me the heebie jeebies as a kid too....creepy...

  • pretty scary like

  • skyrim brought me here

  • I remember the first time I watched this, I was so terrified of stop motion for some reson, but when Talos turned his head, I ran from the room, I was seven years old. Now I love this film.

  • @datsome80

    Yeah, I was maybe 6 or 7 when I first saw this.

    It scared the hell out of me when Talos turned his head.

  • when i was 5 i used to cry when they killed him.... :'(

  • Listen to those foreboding minor chords that Bernard Herrmann conjured up. Man, this cat was a genius and the film is pure classic at its best. Beats anything out there!!! Inside, he just uses a harp a flute and clarinet... BH knew his SH**!

  • this is what wizards and scientists should use there knowledge for the creation of...TALOS

  • By the love of Talos, stop talking about graphics and audio from today and the 60's

  • This scene works because even though this was a swords and sandals action movie, they actually had an understanding of things like tension and atmosphere. The moment you see the statue, the music lets you know something is going to go terribly wrong, but they make you sweat it out for the next two minutes. And even then, when it finally happens, Talos still somehow feels like a surprise. You don't get that in the "instant pop up CGI monster madness" of today.

  • 3:31

    Talo: wait up guys....just, just give me a sec.

  • Can you imagine if these things were real......... anal ring loosening moment

  • Made in the time when 35mm & 70mm film was used, not today's digital crap made on computers.

    Funny how the 5 highest resolution films ever made were made during the 60's and all shot onto 70mm film.

    What does that tell you about todays digital technology?

  • That thing is scary with the sound

  • 3.01 imagine if that did happen in real life you would shit yourself. excuse my language to the gods :)

  • After they killed Talos, why didn't they all go back and steal all his goodies? Hmmmm........

    Plot flaw. :-o

  • @SteveLLW Maybe they just wanted to get away from that island, they had enough!LOL

  • @MrMaxismybaby No guts, no glory. Of course, the other metal gods may have awakened, as well. :-o

  • @SteveLLW LOL

  • @MrMaxismybaby I have to say that the special effects were pretty damned good for 1963 (Harryhausen's work) and the music is just about creepy enough. :-o

  • I've yet to see the remake of "Clash Of The Titans". I've heard both positive & negative things about it. Hopefully, I'll get to see it soon tho!!!!! :-)

  • I've yet to see the remake of "Clash Of The Titans". I've heard both positive & negative things about it. Hopefully, I'll get to see it soon tho!!!!! :-)

  • Theres a lesson for you kids out there, don't upset the gods !!!!

  • Dude I remember watching this shit of tmc when I was four and then when remember shit when I was ten, wondering what the hell I was watching memories :)

  • Also what was that creaking at 1.50 ??? Talos?? if it was the wind surely filming would have been suspended or at least stopped.

  • it was set in greece, greece is a hot country, with no wind. you dont usually get wind storms or else in greece, so how ???

  • anyone know the know the names of the other statues in this scene?

  • So how did the door close then? couldn't of been Talos, he was still on his perch atop the building.

  • @253JONNYSTUART Either the wind " LOLZ" or it was probably a booby trap :P

  • @253JONNYSTUART If your looking for a reasonable answer to the events of this scene, wouldn't a better question be to ask "How did the statue come to life?"

  • @Deere55 im not asking about the statue the question was aimed at the door, how did the door close? unless it was the gods, and unless you know the answer im not interested.

  • @Deere55 The statue contains a magical fluid. Sources are not clear regarding what it actually is, but it animates Talos.

  • The name TALOS should have been written in greek not in latin characters.

  • The name TAALOS should have been written in greek not in latin characters.

  • 3 people steal gold from the gods

  • this used to scare me senseless as a little kid

  • windstorm 100 i couldnt agree more the slow errie menace about the scene seeing it the first time back in oh id say 96 or 97 as a kid i knew somethin bad was gonna happen an of course i knew Talos would come to life that moment when Hilas is talking to Hercules about the pin an he looks up after hearing the creek he instantly knows secretly "o f##k we've done it now"

  • garabage it certainly was IMPERIALSTORMTROOPER :)

  • quick, get the the broach pin!!!

  • If this doesn't put the fear of the Gods into the viewer, nothing will

  • IT MUST OF BEEN THE WIND

  • @SuperJhouston

    MUST HAVE MUST HAVE MUST HAVE MUST HAVE

  • @SuperJhouston I feel like that should be a meme

  • Always thought this mysterious, otherworldy scene the best in a very good movie---helped along by Bernard Hermann's breath taking score. Humans have a very deep need for myth even in this supposedly 'superior' technological age. In fact, we need myth more than ever. But, beware, the old 'beings' have either positive or negative power--depending if you respect them or not!

  • best olden days movie ever!!!

  • I always thought that it'd be kinda cool if ALL the bronze statues came to life at the same time!!!! I'm sure that some smuck with NO IMAGINATION in Hollywood is gonna try to remake this Ray Harryhausen classic.... I certainly hope not tho!!!!!!!

  • @punkrockpub i always did think about the others as well,i would of stayed in the trreasure room until it was safe

  • @punkrockpub there remade clash of the titans and look how that turned out -.- although i liked the scopions tho xd

  • As a child when Talos first moved it scared the shit out of me...creepy

  • i cacked myelf when talos came alive

    giant metal statue with the motive to slaughter

  • This Hercules rocks. Truly masculine.

  • Comment removed

  • I sat between my mom and dad in 1964 at the Rialto Theater in Belmar, NJ at age 9. When Talos turned his head in awakening and I heard that creaking sound, I went APESHIT as only a nine year old kid in 1964 could! Treasured memory! Nothing could compete with those Harpies and the Children of the Teeth of the Hydra....God Bless the stop action talent of Ray Harryhousen.

  • @mikefastener, I loved all of Ray's movies. It takes us back when tv was worth watching. I'm only 46 years old. I enjoyed these movies on the small screen .

  • Ray Harryhausen back then was the man of special effects.

  • @1221bully Let us state the obvious....when Talos moved his head...we all practically (and for some, really) pee our pants!!!

    Amazing what was done all those years ago!

  • Whar was Hylias thinking...Did he really though that he was helpful :P?

  • very clear pic with hd color for this old movie nice work :)

  • The new "Clash of the Titans" film was ... fantastic! A far superior rendition to the earlier version; starring Harry Hamlin. Now 'that' was "garbage". I loved the sound effects in that scene and the look of surprize mingled with horror, on the faces of Hercules and his companion, when Talos starts to move!

  • you could not capture the unique originality of this film,saw it with my old man l was 6 but it scared me to death,one of my all time favourite films,,harry harryhausen was a genius of the early special effects,,

  • i would of ran back in the box when he woke up

  • loved this still do i watched it at 5 use to think he was real

  • fantastic, still mad on this since i first saw this gem 40 years ago...just brilliant.

  • scared the crap outta me when I was 9

  • 2:59 a shit your pants moment

  • @r3playretro Even scarier than Samara climbing out of the well in The Ring.

  • no need to ever remake this movie. "" clash ,, of the trash "" was something stupid at all.raymond harryhausen is 91 years old.do not shock him to death.....

  • Turns out Hercules is a greedy idiot who gets his friend killed and then mopes about it. Interesting.

  • @Tryzon In Greek myth, Hercules was an idiot that was always doing stupid things and then being deeply remorseful afterword.

  • @minggnim Hmm. I'm a bit rusty on my Greek mythology, so I'll take your word for it.

  • where was it filmed? 

  • TheUtubeteamsucks? What a great account name!

  • a couple of Shoplifters eeh?......Nigel Green my favorite screen Hercules..

  • Uh oh.......

  • Dang! does Talos need to get lubed or something? As the Tin Man would say...Oil Can! Oil Can!

  • That is one pissed off hunk of metal!

  • I always loved the sound effects of Talos moving-- You know it's just someone working on the shower pipes, but it fits perfectly.

  • Talos always reminded me of Achilles. Probably because both died by getting hurt in the ankle. I first saw this movie in 9th grade when we were studying Greek mythology. This part scared me

  • @fenderred1

    I agree. Today the special effects dominate the story instead of aiding the storytelling.

  • must've been some strong wind Hercules to close a door that you could barely open. lol!

  • @Boogung I don't think this version of Herc is the sharpest javelin in the armory. ;)

  • Remember as a kid back in the early 90s Mum used to stick this film on to shut us up while she did the house work. Talos used to frighten the shit outta me. Scar'ed for life!! Good film though.

  • Size-wise, the Statue of Liberty's got nothing on Talos.

  • ((Gasp!)) He moved! 0:55 - 1:00. Did you see it?

  • Absolutely classic Ray Harry Harrenhausen... or whatever his name is.

  • A shame the naked woman in the back didn't come to life instead!

  • That's wonderful! No computer can create something like that, Ray Harryhausen is the greatest creator of all times!

  • such a brilliant film, talos used to creep me out whwen i was a kid, i think a remake would ruin this movie

  • @PeterOwen88 It did.

  • @jwhaler82 ohh yeah i forgot bout that corny daft thing they did for TV, maybe because it was forgetable (ive never watched it anyway), but i meant a hollywood blockbuster, i didnt like the new clash of the titans

  • great movie making no cgi bullshit and the effect is far more impressive :D

  • Talos's big day, he'd been waitin years for this

  • The only problem i have with the scene is that on the statue platform, instead of roman characters for "Talos" they should have been in ancient greek!

  • Harryhausen was a genius, you just can't make them this good anymore!

  • Watched this as a child and bunked myself when he turned his head.

  • Never steal from the Gods, Hercules shouldve known better

  • Films were a lot better before Hollywood (as well as our tv. and newspapers) was monopolized by Jews.  Nowadays they are filled with filth.

  • @stepheng1483 I so agree with that, there is so much filth now, thank goodness for these wonderful classics!

  • Oh look, actual talent in special effects.

    Need some cool otherworldly creatures but don't have the budget or effort to make models and such? CGi!

    Need some quick explosions? CGi!

    Want to appease an audience with easy entertainment? CGi!

    Want to pass off your imitation as real talent? CGi!

    Want some money? Remake a classic film and add some CGi!

    Modern Day Hollywood in a nutshell.

  • I first saw this movie a s a kid many years ago of course... and the scene of Talos turning his head while while the noise of metal (brass) and the eerie background music played on scared the living daylights out of me! I admit though, I was a bit disappointed in the actor who was chosen to play Hercules. Nothing personal of course. I was only 5 yrs old then. Somehow, I expected the original Hercules (Steve Reeves), with big muscles and all... to come into the picture! Lol

  • At 3:34 Talos leans back on the building like he got up too fast.

  • @CommentCache Lack of iron in his diet.

  • Comment removed

  • great memories that willnever be replaced. the fear of talos as a child! you just know there is no pity or humanity in that huge, brass shell.. cheers to you for the upload, and respect to everyone for not cursin' each other out, which seems to be the normal youtube procedure! a nicer generation of people maybe??

  • Ray Harryhausen was/is a genius.

  • How lucky those other statues didnt come to life aswell lol, btw love Nigel Green (Herakles), great actor especially in Zulu

  • @TalonMercenary I totally agree with you about Nigel Green. It's a pity he took his own life (he suffered from depression after separating from his wife)

  • I remember seeing this film when I was a child.I was just TERRIFIED when the statue of Talos awakes and moves its head toward the two men...

  • My favorite scene of the movie is talos from here to his end.

  • I hope they don't remake this like Clash of the Titans

  • @DrLeonardBonesMcCoy well it was remade but it was so low budget that not alot of people knew about it

  • @Splangy1 Oh yeah I saw a bit of that it was rubbish. I just love the classic greek myth movies when there was stop motion in it. I like cgi but sometimes film have to much of it

  • this is just like that chapter in percy jackson book 3 when they take something from the junkyard and then they awaken talos

  • isn't talos one of hephaestus's creations? i love how this movie has a big IQ on mythology

  • 3:01 RUN LIKE HELL!!!

  • @rhinomantis88

    I would say "ohhhh Shit!"

  • Great film. Nowadays films are filled with filth, it is no coincidence that Hollywood (and all Western media for that matter) has been monopolized by Jews.

  • @stepheng1483 Wow, you really are a small-minded anti-semitic piece of shit.

  • @DistressSignal It's the truth.

  • @stepheng1483 Sorry, but outside of the fantasy world of Fox News your "filthy evil Jews taking over the media" rant is anything but the truth. It's just brainwashed sheep prejudice. Perhaps you're a holocaust denier as well.

  • @stepheng1483 you are right, most movies are just out to make money on the box office. Its always the same story, diffirent character/setting. But its always the same shit: the good guy is a total bad ass, gets the girl and is untouchealble by the bad guys. then at the end the girl gets in harms way, and the good guy epicly saves the girl pulling off a 10000:1 chance stunt and kills the bad guy. the end.

  • 1.12

    hehe they're so tiny

  • everything about Talos is brilliant. The moment you see him just crouching on the plinth, musical score, the way his head turns, the way he gets off the plinth, his walk, swaps hands, sound of screeching metal, agonising look in his face when he cracks. all down to 1 man. Ray Hauryhausen

  • This is one of the coolest scenes in ANY movie made. Thanx 4 posting!

  • thanks for this upload, i watch these films today and i can appreciate the talent of the film makers and crew and their dedication, today with the CGI etc its just not the same, awsome stuff thanks again....

  • This scene is as powerful as anything in a modern action film.

    It really freaked me out when I was a kid, made me scared of statues!

    I guess the Weeping Angels are doing the same thing for kids today!

  • This film was made in the days when people had talent all round. And it really does show in their work. Film makers today, and actors, are just a bunch of useless MORONS. They should not be in the business of film-making.

  • @razor71927

    It seems that way, but there is still films being made today that are produced by very talented people and on tiny budgets. For example, I discovered a sci-fi film this week called Hunter-Prey. It relies on practical effects and character interaction in the classic western style, rather than CGI and "bad-boy gangsta" contemporary fashion. Not a perfect film, but certainly a decent effort.

  • omg thanks for the upload i rmember this when i was little, still one of my favourite films ever...i remember thinking how MASSIVE hercules was but looking at it now he just looks normal aha LOVE IT and when Taylos turns his head shivers every time OMG my childhood is back ahah :) cheers x

  • I hope and pray that Hollywood don't "remake"this all time classic. It would end up as a CGI laden multi million dollar pile of shit. I believe that the remake of COTT has not been well received, and was inferior to the Harryhausen original. The thought of Tom Cruise as Jason makes me cringe!

  • @mguyvig The remake of COTT was a complete CGI mess, and guess what, it's even gonna have a sequel ... There's no chance to see Tom Cruise in a remake of Jason, but getting that wooden Sam Worthington instead would be even worst ... let's hope they will not have any idea related to a Jason remake.

    The Bubo cameo was a shame, like spitting on all the little things which made the original movie likeable. Harryhausen's work will be greatly remembered, recent CGI will not.

  • At 0:25, they are standing in front of some greenery, then they walk about 30 feet over rocky ground, at 0:35, they're back where they were, then walk some more. Then at 0:55, there they are again... in the same spot! Bad editing I think.

  • @Spillage66 LOL, i thought exactly that when i was editing the clip ...

  • @Spillage66 you need to consider and apprieciate the time this was made and how

    this was better than avatar back then

  • @Spillage66 no continuity directors back in the day...they did it all poor guys.

  • i dont know why but this film scares me so much i enjoy it but these moments

    i dont like people dying so when i think people are gonna die i get scared........................­.....god im a MORON

  • When Talos suddenly turns his head the audience realizes Hercules, Hylas, Jason and the others are in serious trouble.

  • Talos: "Hey, bub. You mind putting that back?" :\

    *Hercules and Hylas run off.*

    Talos: "Jerks." >:O

  • Still catches the atmosphere better than anything since

  • Just amazing. Brilliant moment in film history right there.

  • Jason '' Take what you want but beware of TALOS' (HELLO)

    Hylas ''Didn't Jason say something about TALOS?'' (HELLO)

    BIG creeking noises above !! (BIG HELLO!!)

    Hercules '' Well, Whatever it is, it'll make a useful weapon, Let's get back to the ship'' (EEEERRRRMMMM)

    Hylas '' Hercules!'' ( Voice of reason)

    Hercules ''Well what is it? (still unaware)

    Hylas '' you'd better put it back!'' (knows whats coming)

    Hercules '' Why ?'' WTF!!

    Hylas '' Remember what Jason said?''

    HELLO !

  • FUCK THAT scared the hell outa me

  • It's a javelin! No it's tooth pick.

  • I remember when they used to show this film, Clash of the Titans, and the Sinbad films on the 8:00 movies Friday nights. They also liked showing The 5 Deadly Venoms.

  • Talos "Nigga stole my brooch pin"

  • Talos Rules!

  • If Talos was chasing me, I would hide in his Pedestal Base.

  • Aboslute classic! with some of the best hero lines in movie history. Awesome music, scene structure and dialogue!

  • Damn....always a favorite !! When I was a kid in the '60"s everyone at the " picture show" jumped when TALOS moved his head !!!

  • @terrencepaulmiller Let's be candid....we virtually pee'd our pants when Tasos moved his head! My god! For us 8 and 10 year olds it was amazing!

  • Hercules should know the gods better than that!

  • omg we watched that in a latin lesson, and it really freaked the hell out of me!!!

    O MY GOD!!! ARRGHH!!!! practically a horror film to me!!

  • "I need some oil!"

  • 03:36 love the way he leans back on the tomb :)

  • This (original) Jason & The Argonauts (1963) movie is far superior to the remake. The music score, special effects, acting and plots are much more realistic and believing than the second one.

  • This movie is so amazing. I prefer it to many modern movies. The special effects are still amazing, the diction is wonderful, nothing is overdone, the musical score is perfect, and the fear is palpable when Talos comes alive, *wow!* I'm ordering this on DVD!!!

  • what a creative effect @_____@

  • All that for a broach???

  • Run mortals RUN!!!

  • Yay Harryhausen!

  • "its a javeliinn!"

  • Still to this day that moment when Talos turnes his head sends shivers down my spine. I think one day the will remake this film and i hope that they can capture that haunting moment. I'm confident they will as clash of the titans is out now.

  • @TheGodParticle They need to get the music right too; its a perfect pairing in this scene ...

  • @TheUTubeTeamSucks I totally agree, the music is equally haunting. it really sets the mood.

  • @TheGodParticle i watched this film last night im 25 i used to watch this as a child and all the memories came back of talos fucking epic film this.i watched clash of the titans and its crap

  • @TheGodParticle Unfortunately if they do remake it then they
