message: The story of Jason is incomplete in this film and it seems to set itself up for a sequel.  Had there been plans for one?  If so, why was in not produced? — Eoghanacht talk 16:33, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know of no firm source for the intention of a sequel, but it was a box-office failure, which would certainly have done in any such plans. --Tbrittreid (talk) 21:05, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about the rest of you, but that made me laugh. Fixed it.PrinceForte 06:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought the "merman" that surfaced at the Clashing Rocks was Poseidon himself. Am I wrong?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RZid (talk • contribs) 
:No, you are right.  The merman was Poseidon.  --GHcool (talk) 05:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody says exactly who it is. All Jason says afterwards is, "Whichever god or goddess helped us should be thanked." I tend to think it isn't Poseidon, since Hera played the game piece that summoned the creature. I doubt if the god of the sea would obey Hera. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "Defeated, Talos falls to the ground, crushing Hylas; whereupon Hercules refuses to leave until he ascertains the latter's death. "
Surely "avenges", not "ascertains"?

replies: text: No, it's correct. Hylas was buried underneath Talos, so the Argonauts were uncertain of his fate. I'll clarify in the synopsis. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

message: (( Meanwhile, Acastus tries to steal the Fleece, but is killed by its guardian, the Hydra. )) 
That Part Ain't Accurate , It's Quite Clear That Acastus Is Only Fainted Not Dead , He is seen moving and making a sound after Jason Kills The Hydra , although the Hydra Did Not Bite him or eat any part of his body but only squeezed him by her enormous tail causing him out of conscious , and since that it's clear that a sequel was planned when Hera Says At The End Of The Movie (( To Clear The Board The Game is over )) And Zeus Reply's (( It Certainly Is Not , For the moment, let them enjoy a calm sea, a fresh breeze and each other. The girl is pretty and I am always sentimental. But for Jason, there are other adventures. I have not finished with Jason. Let us continue the game another day. ))
Then There Was Still A Role Planned For Acastus In The Sequel , But I Wonder How Will He Followup with his fellow companions the Argonauts after he Betrayed Both Sides The Argonauts & The Aeëtes , although in the myth Acastus is not separated from the Argonauts in Colchis But Rather Return With Them To Thessaly & Does not Betray Jason But When They Arrive Thessaly He Drives Jason & Medea out of Thessaly Due To The Murder of His Father .  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdessoki (talk • contribs) 09:42, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

message: I have just corrected the text to read
"At the special ceremony for the Academy Award for Technical Achievement held three weeks before the 1992 Academy Awards, Ray Harryhausen was honored with a lifetime-achievement award. The ceremony's host, actor Tom Hanks, remarked: "Some people say Casablanca or Citizen Kane. I say Jason and the Argonauts is the greatest film ever made".
It previously read,
"At the 1992 Academy Awards, in honoring Ray Harryhausen with a lifetime-achievement award, actor Tom Hanks remarked: "Some people say Casablanca or Citizen Kane. I say Jason and the Argonauts is the greatest film ever made"
The new text is factually correct. However, the cited source (The New York Times) simply says Hanks said this "at the Oscars". The tech achievement ceremony is a secondary ceremony held a few weeks before the main ceremony. Hanks was ALSO at the main ceremony where he also imparted the news that the award had been given to Harryhausen. But his remark saying J&A was the best film ever rather than Kane or Casablanca, was made at the earlier adjunct ceremony, not at the main ceremony. But the New York Times article does not indicate this.
Do I strictly need a different source?
The videos of both ceremonies are on YouTube. WickerGuy (talk) 22:24, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
