Sadly Mythtaken | |
| The Gorgon / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: The Gorgon is identified as Megaera, one of the sisters of Medusa. The film takes liberties about the myth in this regard, since Medusa's sisters are actually called Stheno and Euryale in the Classical Mythology, and the film conflates them with the three Furies with Medusa's other sister being named as Tisiphone, another member of that group. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Gorgon / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: On one hand, the Gorgon monster Megaera has been taken down for good, putting an end to this ancient horror's reign of terror. On the other hand, however... that means that she takes Karla Hoffman with her and Paul dies shortly thereafter by being turned to stone and the last words of comfort that Prof. Meister manages to speak to him that soften the blow are that this is the only way for her to finally be freed from the bond. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| The Gorgon / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Inspector Kanoff is completely unhelpful. The only useful thing he accomplishes is to drive off the mob threatening Prof. Heitz and Kanof only provides vital information when Professor Meinster threatens to use his connections to the Foreign Secretary. He's revealed to be a conspirator in league with Namaroff. | |
