    skeleton fight?

    Would you be referring to this skeleton fight from JASON AND THE
    ARGONAUTS?

    or an 'improved' version

    Used to be that watching a Harryhausen movie meant sitting forward
    whenever the image degraded slightly in shifting to optical printing
    (even if you couldn't name it), because that signaled the advent of
    another of the visual f/x scenes that you'd come to the theater for.
    Today's flawless CGI has obsoleted that sort of anticipation.

    None actually. Sinbad has a precursor where he fights one skeleton but the
    one you?re thinking of is Jason and the Argonauts where he fights skeletons
    a plenty. That wasn?t included in last night?s marathon. But it had the
    best looking women with Caroline, Munro and Jane Seymour, and Taryn Power.
