Customer Reviews

not what I expected
I believed this DVD would be the movies itself but it was clips and how they were created. I was upset as it was a gift.

Recommended for avid fans of Ray H.
very classic and old, if you're collecting Ray H. movies, this one is a must. But if you just want old movies, you might not like it that much, this one are a collection of his first movie special effects clips, you might want to consider the other 2 box collections available here in amazon too, which i also happen to have, their nice good old movies and classic too. Search for Ray Harryhausen.
