Clash of the Titans (2010) took a much-loved 1981 fantasy and rebuilt it as a loud, fast blockbuster about Perseus, the demigod who refuses to bow to the gods. Critics were unkind, audiences turned up anyway, and one bellowed line from the trailer took on a life of its own online. This quiz covers the whole story: the quest from Argos to the Underworld, the creatures and gods met along the way, the actors behind them, and the production tales, from locations to the much-debated 3D release. A few questions look back at the original film and ahead to the follow-up. It suits anyone who has seen the film once as well as fans of Greek myth on screen. Most questions can be reasoned out, and each explanation adds a detail worth knowing.
