Now this is actually worth watching just for the scenes towards the end when our handsome, hunky, hero "Perseus" (maybe a step-brother of Heracles but certainly not his son - Richard Harrison) has to take on this eponymous titan, whom, uniquely in cinema (that I've ever seen, anyway) resembles a hybrid between triffid and a giant sunflower! Hats off to director Alberto De Martini, and to special effects expert Carlo Rambaldi for making me chuckle. Oh yes, the story. Well, Perseus must free the peaceful people of the beautiful island of Seriphos - the throne of which he has a claim - from the tyrannical rule of "Galenore" (Leo Anchóriz). Aside from the usual overwhelming army he must face, their is also a very obedient dragon (again courtesy of Mr. Rambaldi) which fancies chewing on a bit of demi-god. The production here is reasonable, and the story has more substance to it. There has been some effort put into the look of it, and though Harrison is little more than eye-candy, it's still quite fun to watch. As ever, the dubbing is very literal and dry in it's delivery, but if you can turn the volume down an bit and just watch, then it's actually quiet a well paced laugh.
