It is really interesting to see that, from films like this, the same basic principles of stop motion animation can be used to create movies like Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings.
It bitch slapped that double headed dude into next week.the sound effects are hilarious but I have a real soft spot for these old types of fantasy movies.
All we need is Jim Ross' commentary. "Is that, is that an anchor? OH MY GOD, NO! He's smashing that cave up! There's no hope now. Wait, what is that? IT'S THE KRAKEN!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!"
ArmandtheWise it happens pretty much anywhere now the things that are hard to find is when you see a leprechaun fighting a gnome over a big pile of booze and women now that's what ya gotta look out for
LOL I laughed my head off when I seen the Irish man in the bottle because I'm Irish, just our luck to be stuck in a bottle but hey at least we can call the Kraken! :)
Mike Romney Yep, that couldn't be Harryhausen. Way too cheap, I mean really cheap. They look as if they're clay figures. Harryhausen used to make high quality models that you could pose in different positions, not that cheap clay crap.
I saw this as a kid in 1962.. I was fortunate that Turner's Classic Movie channel was showing it! I was in for a real treat! I loved this movie! I favorite episode is where the evil dictator turns into a Dragon !!!!!
Back then there was no frame grabbing software, so the animator couldn't really see what he had just shot until he or she got the film developed. Its a long and tedious process that requires a lot of patience so you got to give a bit of respect to these guys.
WolfGangGoblin LOL yea weird, same. something about it is entertaining, as hilarious as it looks it has some kind of charm or something that todays blockbusters dont really have. hm wonder what it is
Jim Danforth's animation carbon-copies Harryhausen, but Danforth had to work with inferior models; it's one of many reasons "Jack the Giant Killer" didn't get into the animation pantheon. Check out "7th Voyage of Sinbad's" finale (it's the film that "Jack" producer Edward Small imitated) to see how a dragon and giant fight!
+Victor M What's funny is that the animator who worked on this film, Jim Danforth, who was Ray's protege, went on to do "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" (1970), and most stop-motion enthusiasts will agree that Danforth's work in said film far surpassed his mentor's.
+RovertLladnar Nosmoht Ummmm... I don't know too many people would say that. Danforth worked with greater technology (Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth) but that is probably the only film of his where the stop-motion looked really good. His other films all looked... meh... Also remember Harryhausen was a one-man army where he would animate the special effects, take on storyboards, do concept art, help with the choreography, sometimes help write the script, and do much more work.
Inspired by all the Ray Harryhausen Dynamation movies. Jack the Giant Killer is a lesser known film from the era, and although the effects are not as good as a Haryhausen production, it's still quite entertaining. And the Princess's evil from in the mirror is dead sexy too.
When I was a child, I grew up listening to my father tell his fascination with the final scene of the film The Incredible Shringking Man (1957), who he watched in the cinema theater. He described the fantastic Milky Way images. Years later, I recorded the movie on TV and showed it to him, who was disappointed to discover that the film was in black and white. He remembered in colors! Only then did I realize the impact of those scenes for a boy, born in the countryside, in the interior of Brazil, whose school books contained simple drawings and who certainly had never seen such realistic photographs (and even more so in a cinemascope!). My aunt later told me that until 1961 world maps and earth globes were not blue, they were earthy, usually brown or gray. Only after Gagarin's famous statement did the world maps turn blue. This gives a dimension to our look at animation technology. My father remembered in color from a black and white movie!
Not sure how or why this is suddenly in my "suggested" list. But I remember seeing this movie as a kid on TV. I loved these Claymation movies back then. Best part of this clip, IMHO, is when the chimpanzee starts tossing down some small rocks onto the Giant's head, that suddenly become boulders when we see them hitting the Giant.
God I love these old classics! So much better special effects and feeling it makes up for the bad scripting. I mean, the humans just stay in the cave like noobs when the Two-headed giant is occupied... And i just love the monkey! This is made with love. Hollywood movies after 2010 is not.
Thanks you RUclips, we can now watch the best parts of these old movies without having to sit through all the boring pacing, terrible acting and wretched writing in those films.
Young people today think these special effects are primitive compared to today's high technology effects. When I was a kid I thought this was high tech compared to the 30s and 40s.
The best photo of the character is the snake/octopus. The monster is very weak. The couple is anemic and lacking salt. The bandits are ridiculous and cowardly. The dog is a scoundrel. And what does Xita do there? She left Tarzan to do some odd jobs. haha 😂😂😂
To those of you who are complaining about the movie effects, you do realize that you're complaining about the effects that wasn't even from your era. 30 years from now, people are gonna be laughing about the Avengers CGI.

Me too. I'm glad he one the fight against the Evil Two Headed Giant. Take that Pendragon. Good always triumphs over Evil.

And that bitch slap at the end of the fight was perfect. Lol
I lost it when the kraken showed up. What a hilarious smile.

Of course it showed up with a smile it knew it was going to get a free meal

you gotta realize this is old movie
ivan Mabini some older dessign age better.
Look at 7th Voyage for instance, that stop motion aged gracefully. That said I love this too.
Maybe, too cartoony...
That's one realistic stop-motion chimp. I defy anyone to beat that with CGI.

Don't tempt them lol
Golden age of stop motion, i loved that movie when i was a kid, back in the early 80's!
When I was a kid there wasn’t any flick any better than this kind. High drama and adventure!
It's not everyday you go strolling on the beach and end up encountering a wrestling match between a giant with two heads and a kraken/dinosaur hybrid.
ArmandtheWise I see that everyday you should really get out more
I should and you need to tell where I can find that stuff. lol

A combination of Clash of the Titans, Tarzan, Lassie, and Davy and Goliath. How could you go wrong?
Not hiring Harryhausen to do your effects.
Cybopath Wait Harryhausen didn't do this film? Damn, the stop motion seems so similar!

The models look way way cheaper than Harryhausens children I find...^^

if a youtuber made a stop motion movie,the people from 60s would give him an Oscar.
I love this movie, watching it when I was 6 years old back in 1981.

Yes. It's very well made for its time actually.
This is no Ray Harryhausen quality though.
Even better with this :)
These things even happened in the original 1933 King Kong. It happens.
I loved this when I was a kid. We watched this on Betamax.
People still watch this shit yet complain Gods of Egypt as bad CGI
Well they weren't wrong
Apples and oranges. This isn't even CGI.
are you stupid?
movie from 1962. the computer was barly invented.

The thumbnail for this video actually made it look like it would be awesome.
not gonna lie it did
You get what you get.

i was 8 ._. but found this intresting ._________.
What is this show called?
@@cobracorporal6738 It’s movie from 1962 called Jack the Giant Killer.
Is that kraken just slap the back of giant’s head? 🤣🤣🤣
懷念 :) 小時候的電影
How in the hell is a kid supposed to sleep right after seeing something like this?
This movie was a reaction to the Ray Harryhausen classic "The Seventh Voyage of Sindbad" from 1957. So, basically a fan fiction movie.
So,no "special effects by Ray Harryhausen?"
The new Killer Instinct really drew inspiration from this for the classic Eyedol look (and the OG game of course)
When I first red it, I read “Two Headed Giant vs Karen” and was like “ well we all know who is going to win that one.”
idk why I watched but I did
the whole thing right?
+venomchris the whole damn thing lmao
WolfGangGoblin LOL yea weird, same. something about it is entertaining, as hilarious as it looks it has some kind of charm or something that todays blockbusters dont really have. hm wonder what it is

true dat
Stop action animation was great when I was a kid!

Epic. Master piece ever. Greatness
The leprechaun always speaks in rhymes...finding the right words to say at perfect times
My dad remembers this film and being shocked by how good it was, i just watched battleship with him and he didn’t say a word
"Release The Kraken!.....actually wait no don't, its a bit shit"
One thing i love this movie is the feeling i remember that i love this movie..❤❤ forget the tech way back then..
I watches this movie since 2003 when I was not a full-of-aged person. Then I liked it as it was one of the latest movies that I want
sorry, but this stop motion's got nothing on Ray Harryhausen stop motion.
Well said, couldn't agree more.

Wen i watch movies like these i just think
"Imagine if they had real guns" an RPG would take that giant down in notime

I was only 5 or 6 when this came out. I was terrified and enchanted!
Woah this is so good!
Why does Jack have a Chimpanzee with him?
Come Beast Of The Sea!
I Call Upon Thee:
Swimming Spaghetti Monster!! Cousin of Flying Spaghetti Monster!!!
It's an epic battle between a Good Sea Monster versus an Evil Two Headed Giant.
I first watched this in 1978 Friday night ha ha ace
I was only seven : mum was making dinner 😌 I loved it : nice memory
Damn that's a real clean stop motion
this scene deserves a reboot for a more dramatic effect...
The dog stuns are nuts
I miss, those old movies.
Movie title please. Cute Kraken Lizard. Now I have some inspiration for clay figures, the DoueHeaded Big Fawn and Kraken Lizard. Thanks uploader.
The movie is called Jack the Giant Killer
They must have spent all their budget on the CGI! That 2 headed giant looked so realistic and natural, unbelievable!

Better than Jurassic Park,100%. Whoever played in this movie needs to win the oscars m8.

Two-Headed Giant reminds me of Eyedol fro Killer Instinct
Imagine how high you have to be to think of this concept the 60s were groooovy lol
What fun! Just the thing to watch after a few whiskeys.
Not Ray Harryhausen's best work. Unfortunately the budget for this picture didn't allow him to do his finest work like the 7th Voyage of Sinbad!
And now you know the origin of the saying, 'Get Kraken'. (I krak myself up)
These Stop-Motion creatures are far scary than anything created in CGI
Graphics it's another level
Pokey sure was messed up after Gumby rode him though that radioactive cloud. Came to the rescue here, though..🤔
I think this is where the zillo beast from starwars got it's inspiration
What the hell am I gonna do with 2 heads? I have enough arguments with 1 head!
