I much prefer Golden Voyage over Eye of the Tiger which lumps along so clumsily it always seems to me Harryhausen's creatures are actually embarrassed to make their entrances. At very least they seem to be randomly dropped in more so than in any other of his films. Golden has a stronger plot, better creatures (I think the Kali swordfight scene is as good as anything Ray ever did), a kind of cooly subversive feel - less a kiddie picture than usual - plus Tom Baker, the best villain to ever appear in a Harryhausen film next to Torin Thatcher.
