00:00:04Nothing can stop him. Not rockets, not bullets, not even bombs can stop Borgo.
00:00:11He's not just another gigantic sea monster. He's a real menace, determined to smash London into smithereens and wait until
00:00:20you meet his mother.
00:00:22This movie has inspired everything from comic books to rock videos. If you love films starring a guy in a
00:00:29rubber suit, you're about to see one of the greats. From 1961, here's a pick from the vaults. It's Borgo.
00:00:52It's Borgo.
00:01:22It's Borgo.
00:01:52It's Borgo.
00:02:00It's Borgo.
00:02:03It's Borgo.
00:02:04It's Borgo.
00:02:05It's Borgo.
00:02:09It's Borgo.
00:02:09It's Borgo.
00:02:11It's Borgo.
00:02:13It's Borgo.
00:02:15It's Borgo.
00:02:17It's Borgo.
00:02:29It's Borgo.
00:02:33It's Borgo.
00:02:36It's Borgo.
00:02:58Sam, it's looking terribly ugly.
00:03:00The men are getting edgy.
00:03:02Yeah, so am I.
00:03:06Come on, Joe, make it snappy, will you?
00:03:11Come on, let's get out of here.
00:03:12Wait a minute, Sam.
00:03:13There's thousands of dollars worth of stuff in that old rust bucket.
00:03:16I'm not getting out of here without it.
00:03:18Are you kidding?
00:03:20Stop worrying.
00:03:22Stake it out and be back up in ten minutes.
00:04:04He's been down half an hour.
00:04:06I know these waters well, Sam.
00:04:08I've never seen the like of this before.
00:04:12Get me a lug.
00:04:13I'm going down to get him.
00:04:16He's come up.
00:04:25Prepare a sea anchor.
00:04:27Secure forward, Derek.
00:04:30Tom, wake up!
00:04:39Come on.
00:04:40Come on.
00:04:43Come on.
00:04:45Come on.
00:04:49Come on.
00:04:56I'm going down.
00:04:58Come on.
00:04:59Come on.
00:05:02I got you!
00:05:35I got you!
00:06:21Not as bad as I thought, Joe.
00:06:23How long to get her into shape?
00:06:26Uh, rudder stock's bent. Couple of sprung plates.
00:06:29Uh-huh.
00:06:29That mess on deck, three, four days.
00:06:31And we're out of fresh water.
00:06:34Let's go ashore and see what they've got, eh, sir?
00:06:52Look there.
00:06:57I've never seen anything like that before.
00:07:08The whole ocean bottom must have been torn up.
00:07:28Looks like they're pretty hard hit.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:34Hi.
00:07:35Is there a harbor mast we can talk to?
00:07:37How do you end with the niche?
00:07:41Gaelic, huh?
00:07:43Doesn't sound like welcome in any language.
00:07:57Hey, kid, is your father at home?
00:08:00I don't have a father.
00:08:01Oh.
00:08:02Does the harbor master live here?
00:08:04It's the right place you come to, then.
00:08:06Come in.
00:08:15You say the harbor master lives here?
00:08:18Yes, but it's a city man he is.
00:08:20A government man.
00:08:22Who is he?
00:08:23What's he do?
00:08:24McCartan's his name.
00:08:25Calls himself an archaeologist.
00:08:27What's your name?
00:08:29Sure.
00:08:29I work for him.
00:08:31Doing what?
00:08:32Well, bits of this and bits of that.
00:08:35Cleaning up the things he finds.
00:08:37What things?
00:08:39You want to see them, then?
00:08:40Yeah, sure.
00:09:00Well, what do you know?
00:09:06Bats been under the sea for a thousand years, they say.
00:09:09Viking, looks like.
00:09:11Yeah?
00:09:12That's it.
00:09:13There was a great sea battle right off the bay here,
00:09:15and where it drove them off and sank their ships.
00:09:19What's that?
00:09:24That's Ogre.
00:09:26The sea spirit.
00:09:27Just groundwork he did that day.
00:09:30Sounds like St. Patrick and the snakes.
00:09:33What are you doing here?
00:09:34You get out.
00:09:38I'm Joe Ryan.
00:09:39My partner, Sam Slade.
00:09:41Hi.
00:09:43McCartan's the name.
00:09:44Salvage Wessel, aren't you?
00:09:45Yeah.
00:09:47I thought so.
00:09:49Did the boy tell you about all this?
00:09:50Yeah, a little.
00:09:52This stuff has no real value.
00:09:54Except to us eggheads.
00:09:55But since it turned up,
00:09:56no ship's allowed at Nara Island for more than 24 hours without a permit.
00:10:00Look, Fran, we're not seaworthy.
00:10:03We won't be for three or four days.
00:10:05I don't make the artists.
00:10:06That's the way it is.
00:10:08Anyway, we're afloat.
00:10:10Come on, Sam.
00:10:13Hey, how about fresh water?
00:10:15We'll give you that.
00:10:17Thanks.
00:10:18No hard feelings now?
00:10:19Oh, no.
00:10:26You believe him?
00:10:27Not this permit?
00:10:30No.
00:10:31Well, something's eating him.
00:10:33I wonder what.
00:10:36I don't know.
00:10:38Come on.
00:10:40Maybe we'll swing a little more weight around here if we find out.
00:10:52Hey, Joe, look.
00:11:00Slag her off, Harry.
00:11:07Are you having any luck?
00:11:12You know, Joe, they can talk English every bit as good as you and I can.
00:11:15They just don't want to, that's all.
00:11:16You try, Harry.
00:11:24He said there's no time for talking with strangers, and McCartan does all the talking on the island.
00:11:36What are they doing?
00:11:38He'll have a little little game to take the end of the assassin.
00:11:40Two of the divers didn't come up, Joe.
00:11:42They think they're gone.
00:11:44Gone?
00:11:57There's one.
00:11:59Call Wilshire for the end of the mission.
00:12:22So that's what's worrying McCartan.
00:12:35He's dead.
00:12:36Dead, huh?
00:12:39You saw him come up.
00:12:41You ask me, he died of fright.
00:12:56This is crazy.
00:12:58There was a man lost down there today, not even a trace.
00:13:01Another one saw something that scared him to death.
00:13:05Look, Sam, you don't want to go?
00:13:06Don't go.
00:13:08I'm going all right.
00:13:10Just to make sure that you get back.
00:13:12Sure.
00:13:13With a hat full of gold.
00:13:16Get set.
00:13:19Yeah, okay.
00:13:24Good.
00:13:46I'm so sorry.
00:13:47I'm so sorry.
00:13:47What?
00:13:49I'm so sorry.
00:14:53What did you see, Sam?
00:14:57I don't know.
00:14:59But whatever it was, I never want to see it again.
00:15:18How goes it, Sam?
00:15:20These are the last few barrels coming on board now.
00:15:26Knock you back, big one.
00:15:31Oh, it is, isn't it?
00:15:37Look, kid, get down off there, will you?
00:15:39About the permit.
00:15:41What about the permit?
00:15:42It's a heathen lie.
00:15:44Maybe we better see what this joker's got in mind.
00:15:45Where is he?
00:15:46Come on, then.
00:15:48All right.
00:16:01What's going on here?
00:16:02They think a shark got the man who was lost.
00:16:17Mr. McCartan, I hear you've got a beef.
00:16:20You were snooping around out there.
00:16:22My divers told me.
00:16:23Yeah, and I suppose they told you to give us all that jazz about a permit.
00:16:27Are you doubting my word?
00:16:29You're right, Mr. McCartan.
00:16:30I am.
00:16:39After you load with water, you leave.
00:16:41Tonight.
00:16:43The sooner, the better.
00:16:59Hurry in with the mission.
00:17:22Soapron!
00:17:23Soapron!
00:17:24Soapron!
00:17:31Let's go.
00:18:06Let's go.
00:18:36Let's go.
00:18:37Let's go.
00:19:08Let's go.
00:19:08Let's go.
00:19:19Let's go.
00:19:20Let's go.
00:19:21Let's go.
00:19:29Let's go.
00:19:32Let's go.
00:19:33Let's go.
00:19:33Let's go.
00:19:33Let's go.
00:20:03Now, hold on.
00:20:05You'll get your pay if you like.
00:20:07There'll be no taking a passage on any ship.
00:20:09Why not?
00:20:13Now, for God's sake, let's go inside and talk about it.
00:20:38Let's go.
00:20:40Let's go.
00:20:43Can maybe let's take another look in there first, huh?
00:21:03Open the safe
00:21:18You've done all right for yourself
00:21:21How about this for a down payment?
00:21:22Do you like this one, Sam?
00:21:24He must be out of your mind to think like that's priceless
00:21:28And how do you think you're going to dispose of it?
00:21:31Oh, you must have figured out a way
00:21:33I'll bet we can
00:21:34You dirty blackmail
00:21:35Shut up!
00:21:37You're getting off easy, friend
00:21:39Could have grabbed the lot
00:21:41When will you start?
00:21:42Now
00:21:43Why not?
00:21:53Mr. Ryan!
00:21:55Mr. Ryan!
00:21:57What is it, kid?
00:21:58You'll be trying to catch him
00:22:00Ogre
00:22:00Yeah, maybe
00:22:02Not afraid, are you?
00:22:03No
00:22:04But it's a bad thing you're doing
00:22:06A terrible bad thing, Mr. Ryan
00:22:08Why don't you call me Joe?
00:22:11Okay
00:22:11Joe
00:22:13Okay
00:22:14Sean
00:22:20We might be able to catch him in the nets
00:22:23Yeah
00:22:23But how do you propose to kill a thing like that?
00:22:25Oh, I don't know
00:22:27Dynamite, maybe
00:22:29Ever stop to think what a thing like that might be worth a life?
00:22:48You really think you'll catch him with that?
00:22:50Sure, why not?
00:22:52I figure that the light select is a sort of lure
00:22:54If that doesn't work, we'll try something else
00:22:57Okay, Harry, come on
00:22:58Okay
00:23:05Johnny, putt!
00:23:11Ready when you are, Joe
00:23:12Okay
00:23:13Take her up!
00:23:18Bring her out!
00:23:19Out!
00:23:21Lower away!
00:23:23Down!
00:23:47Uh, son?
00:23:48Can you hear me?
00:23:49Yeah, I can hear you
00:24:19Uh, give me about 15 fathoms
00:24:21Give me four to five knots
00:24:22Yeah, slow engine
00:24:24Headed down the bay
00:24:25Slow engine!
00:24:52Yeah, slow engine
00:25:02Sam, can you hear me?
00:25:04Stop engines!
00:25:05Stop engines!
00:25:09Now, Sam, not too fast.
00:25:10I don't want to lose them.
00:25:11Slow up.
00:25:12Up, up.
00:25:26Sam, Sam, pull up.
00:25:28Up, quick, quick.
00:25:29Pull up, up.
00:25:34Sam, Sam, pull up.
00:25:36Pull up, up.
00:25:39Sam, Sam, pull up.
00:25:44Sam, quickie.
00:25:48Sam, pull up.
00:25:50She won't take any more.
00:25:51She'll snap the cable.
00:25:52Drop your legs.
00:25:53Drop your legs.
00:25:55Drop the nets.
00:25:56All hands on nets.
00:25:57Hurry up.
00:25:58Which one?
00:25:59Take it off.
00:26:01That's why I'll take the nets.
00:26:03Drop it.
00:26:04Drop it.
00:26:24Getty on the winds.
00:26:35Bring it in.
00:26:37Throw it away.
00:26:40Tighten up those seconds.
00:26:56The headlines of the entire world are being monopolized by the news of the capture of a fantastic monster, seemingly
00:27:02of prehistoric origin, off the coast of Ireland.
00:27:06Puzzled scientists are already speculating that the monster may have been released from some vast sub-oceanic cavern far beneath
00:27:13the Earth's crust by unprecedented volcanic eruptions which occurred in the area last week.
00:27:17Some scientific authorities are suggesting that the whole thing is merely an elaborate Irish hoax.
00:27:23Nevertheless, the Irish government are sending two of their top paleontologists to claim the creature for Ireland, if it does
00:27:30exist.
00:27:35There's your friend, Professor.
00:27:38Tell my partner you're here.
00:27:42Right here, Skipper.
00:27:49Those two professors from Dublin have just come on board.
00:27:52Show them out.
00:27:56It's amazing.
00:27:59I wonder if you realize, Captain Rahn, the enormous scientific value of this discovery.
00:28:04I think we do, Professor.
00:28:05Well then, I shall wireless the University of Dublin wants to make preparations to receive the animal.
00:28:11I see.
00:28:11You will proceed to Dublin, and you'll be properly compensated for your services.
00:28:17Oh, sure, sure.
00:28:19Well, we'll meet there.
00:28:22Unless you'd like one of us to go with you.
00:28:24Oh, that won't be necessary, Professor.
00:28:27Oh, there's one thing.
00:28:29The animal skin should be kept wet with a continuous stream of water.
00:28:34I see.
00:28:34This is most important.
00:28:35I'll take care of it.
00:28:36When do you intend sailing, Captain?
00:28:38Tonight, if that's okay by you.
00:28:39Soon the better.
00:28:40See you in Dublin.
00:28:41University of Dublin.
00:28:43Properly compensated.
00:28:46Big deal.
00:28:47Take a look at this, Sam.
00:28:50It's from Jorkin Circus in London.
00:28:53They offer $30,000 against 50% of the gross.
00:28:59Set a course for London, Sam.
00:29:01Oh, yeah.
00:29:03Oh, yeah.
00:29:10Oh, yeah.
00:29:23Oh, yeah.
00:29:41I came to let you go back to the sea.
00:30:02You little nuthead!
00:30:05What do you think you're doing?
00:30:06Hey, take it easy.
00:30:08I came to let him go back to the sea where he belongs.
00:30:11Why?
00:30:12Maybe to save your silly skins for you.
00:30:14I have a good notion to toss you over the side.
00:30:18He wouldn't be sending me back now.
00:30:21Harry?
00:30:21Yes?
00:30:22Better get our little stowaway into a bunk and wash his face.
00:30:26Harry, put a guard on that thing 24 hours and give him a rifle.
00:30:29Why not, Job?
00:30:31I could be watching him for you, you know?
00:30:32Yeah, you, you'd be great, wouldn't you?
00:30:36Now, if it's so much as moves, start shooting and then run like the devil.
00:30:52Tell us something, kid.
00:30:54Anyone ever see that thing before?
00:30:58Why should anybody have to see it to know it's there?
00:31:04Go back to sleep, kid.
00:31:23It's just phosphorus, Sam.
00:31:26That is coming from the scuppers.
00:31:28It's the water off the animal.
00:31:30So it's still salt water.
00:31:33You're seeing spirits, too?
00:31:39Ropes!
00:31:40The night's quick!
00:31:48Come on!
00:32:01Get him ready for burial, Sam.
00:32:06Kid, I told you to stay below.
00:32:09Kid, I told you to stay below.
00:32:37A creature unique in evolutionary biology and you turn it into a circus freak.
00:32:42Outrageous!
00:32:43Quite apart from the fact that you stole it.
00:32:45Look, that's a matter of opinion.
00:32:46What's the row about?
00:32:48You know absolutely nothing about this animal.
00:32:50It's extremely dangerous.
00:32:51We've managed to handle it all right so far.
00:32:54You carry disease-bearing parasites or unknown bacteria.
00:32:57And you bring it into the heart of a great city.
00:33:00Look, what do you want?
00:33:01First, the opportunity to make a complete study.
00:33:04Okay.
00:33:06It doesn't interfere with business.
00:33:07Believe me, gentlemen,
00:33:08once the animal's installed in Battersea Park,
00:33:10you'll be given every facility.
00:33:12I presume you thought of the need of giving the animal a tranquilizing drug
00:33:15before you transport it?
00:33:16Because if you haven't, you'd better.
00:33:18Very well, I'll lay that on then.
00:33:20Good day.
00:33:31Good day.
00:33:31Good day.
00:33:37In our most unusual telecast to date we bring you the arrival of Gorgo.
00:33:42This creature which should have been extinct ten million years ago is truly an awesome site
00:33:48as it is transported to the streets of modern London on its way to Battersea Park.
00:33:53Of course, Londoners are notoriously skeptical, and a good many we've spoken to still seem to think it's all some
00:34:00sort of circus stunt.
00:34:01But this animal is real. Take my word for it.
00:34:05The police have cleared all unauthorized traffic along the route as a precautionary measure.
00:34:10Although we're assured there's no danger, the creature has been given massive doses of tranquilizer.
00:34:16Much closer to this thing, and I could do with a bit of tranquilizer myself.
00:34:21Actually, it's no joke. There are rumors that the animal has killed a number of persons already in the process
00:34:27of its capture.
00:34:31Now you see the circus grounds at Battersea Park in the Festival Gardens, where Gorgo, as he is called, we
00:34:37don't know why, will be exhibited to the public.
00:34:41Here we can see the intrepid Captain Ryan, the one with the cap, getting out of the car with his
00:34:46partner, Mr. Slay.
00:34:48They are the men who captured the animal, and I don't envy them the job.
00:34:52And our own Mr. Dorkin, of Dorkin Circus, in the checkered suit.
00:34:57And, by the way, we'll be interviewing Mr. Dorkin shortly at Battersea Park, so stay with us.
00:35:03And, of course, ladies and gentlemen, I realized at once that this was the most shattering scientific discovery of the
00:35:0820th century,
00:35:09and so I contracted for the exhibition of the animal. We've built a special enclosure. You'll see it later on.
00:35:14We rushed the job through just so everyone in London would have an opportunity of seeing Gorgo for themselves.
00:35:18Question?
00:35:19I have a report from Dublin that the Irish government are going to take legal proceedings to recover the animal.
00:35:23Yes, I believe that to be true. Of course, the matter will have to go through the courts in the
00:35:27usual way.
00:35:28And since I've no way of knowing how quickly they'll reach their decision,
00:35:30I suggest that anyone who wants to see Gorgo does so soon at Battersea Park.
00:35:34That name Gorgo, does it have any special significance?
00:35:37Oh, my dear sir, of course. The monster of Greek mythology, the Gorgon.
00:35:40A creature so terrifying that the mere sight of it would turn a man to stone, excuse me.
00:35:44And how much money do you expect to make out of it?
00:35:47I'll answer that question later on.
00:35:48I'll answer that question later on.
00:36:18More?
00:36:20Tranquilizer seems to be working.
00:36:23So far.
00:36:42Wire cutters. Wire cutters, quick.
00:36:45Okay.
00:36:48Cut to that bus.
00:37:15That's a hell of a dumb thing to do.
00:37:21Wh gedaan!
00:37:22Come on, you okay?
00:37:24Oh, man.
00:37:29Oh, man.
00:37:32Now, come on, now.
00:37:41No!
00:37:42No!
00:37:43No!
00:37:43No!
00:37:44No!
00:37:45No!
00:37:50Over here!
00:38:03Blame for us!
00:38:27Come on, this way. We'll take the other side.
00:38:30Blame for us!
00:38:36Blame for us!
00:38:40Blame for us!
00:38:46Blame for us!
00:38:47Give him another blast!
00:38:54Blame for us!
00:38:58Blame for us!
00:38:59Blame for us!
00:39:00Blame for us!
00:39:02Blame for us!
00:39:06Blame for us!
00:39:14Blame for us!
00:39:16Blame for us!
00:39:18Blame for us!
00:39:19Blame for us!
00:39:24The End
00:39:56The End
00:40:30The End
00:40:49And heavier than six elephants
00:41:02Ice cream here
00:41:04Get your ice cream
00:41:09Peanuts
00:41:10Popcorn
00:41:11Puff butter and popcorn
00:41:13Roasted peanuts here
00:41:19Go on, Biggs
00:41:20Ice cold, Biggs
00:41:22Coca-Cola
00:41:23Peanuts hot
00:41:24Looks like a full house
00:41:42Not bad
00:42:06Hi, Sam
00:42:09I was driving into town
00:42:10How fun
00:42:12Why don't you might like to come along
00:42:13Have a couple of drinks
00:42:14I'm having a couple of drinks
00:42:18How's business?
00:42:20Great, great
00:42:21Why don't you get out of this dump?
00:42:23Live a little
00:42:24I've got a suite of rooms of the best hotel in town
00:42:29This suits us
00:42:34Look, Joe, these animals are going crazy
00:42:41Something's gonna happen
00:42:42I can feel it
00:42:43Mike's already been killed
00:42:44Who's gonna be next?
00:42:45I'm as sorry about Mike as you are
00:42:47It was a tough break, that's all
00:42:48But he's got a wife and two kids
00:42:50Okay, well, we'll send him some money
00:42:53But he's dead
00:42:55And there's gonna be a lot more tough breaks before this is over
00:42:58You've been listening to your new partner too much
00:43:00No
00:43:02I've been listening to myself
00:43:09Hello
00:43:11Yeah, just a moment
00:43:13It's the professor, it says they've been trying to find you
00:43:16This time of night?
00:43:18Hello
00:43:19Well
00:43:20Yeah
00:43:22Yeah, if you say so
00:43:25Okay
00:43:28He's found something out, you're coming along?
00:43:30Yeah, sure
00:43:52Professor
00:43:52Come in, gentlemen
00:43:55Captain Ryan
00:43:57The creature you have captured is not an adult specimen
00:44:00You mean it isn't fully grown?
00:44:02No
00:44:03In fact, we believe it is in rather early infancy
00:44:08Are you trying to say there may be a fully grown one of these things around somewhere?
00:44:11It's a fair assumption
00:44:12Where there are offspring, there are generally parents
00:44:15How big would a full grown one be?
00:44:17An approximate guess
00:44:22The infant
00:44:24The adult
00:44:27That'll make it nearly 200 feet tall
00:44:29At the very least
00:44:30Obviously the proper authorities must be notified at once
00:44:33What are you trying to do?
00:44:34Stir up a whole hornet's nest because of a few calculations made on a piece of paper?
00:44:38Nuts to that
00:44:39I'm afraid, Captain Ryan, the decision is no longer in your hands
00:44:44No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:45:16volume
00:45:17No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:45:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:45:35Keep your head
00:45:35Go
00:46:02Admiral Brooks,
00:46:03I realize the situation is fantastic, but...
00:46:06One expects the fantastic from you scientists these days.
00:46:10Tell me, Admiral, have you ever seen the animal that was captured?
00:46:14I'm afraid I haven't had the time.
00:46:15Then perhaps you should take the time.
00:46:17And when you do, remember it first appeared at Nara Island.
00:46:23Monitor reports there's been no communication with Nara Island for three days, sir.
00:46:27Three days?
00:46:33Her Majesty's aircraft carrier, Royal Oak, from the Admiralty Whitehall.
00:46:38Proceed to area N-34 and report any unusual sightings or conditions in vicinity of Nara Island.
00:46:45This is priority A.
00:46:47Repeat.
00:46:48This is priority A.
00:46:56This is priority A.
00:47:34Reconnaissance to Corvette.
00:47:35Alter course to 3-1-0.
00:47:38Repeat.
00:47:38Course 3-1-0.
00:47:45Right.
00:47:46I decided something, sir.
00:47:48Hold four points.
00:47:50Port.
00:47:50Four points.
00:47:51Aye, aye.
00:48:13Fire number one turret.
00:48:18He will slide.
00:48:21He was shot.
00:48:23I said, you're a guy.
00:48:28I said, you're a guy.
00:48:31I said, you're a guy.
00:48:33He did.
00:48:34Come on.
00:48:35Enter.
00:48:47Reconnaissance to Corvette, observation negative, repeat negative.
00:49:17Admiral Brooks.
00:49:21Gentlemen, you've been asked to come here to supply us with any information in your possession which might be helpful.
00:49:26Nara Island has been destroyed.
00:49:29Reconnaissance aircraft have sighted a creature in this area here.
00:49:33Excuse me, sir, that looks as though the thing's heading for England.
00:49:35Quite.
00:49:36And that in itself calls for an explanation.
00:49:38Do you have one?
00:49:39While we were playing a stream of water on it during the passage, it was Professor Flaherty's instructions.
00:49:45Maybe it left some sort of track.
00:49:47I see.
00:49:49Is that possible?
00:49:50Yes, it's possible.
00:49:52The Royal Oak for Admiral Brooks, please.
00:49:54Royal Oak coming in for Admiral Brooks.
00:49:57Good.
00:49:58They report at least two direct hits.
00:50:01You've killed it?
00:50:03It's disappeared beneath the sea.
00:50:04They've saturated the aerial death charges.
00:50:06No living thing could escape.
00:50:08It's certainly been killed.
00:50:10What?
00:50:11What?
00:50:15What?
00:50:17What?
00:50:17What?
00:50:19What?
00:50:19What?
00:50:20What?
00:50:22What?
00:50:23What?
00:50:26What?
00:50:38Capsized.
00:50:41Sunk.
00:50:42With every man aboard.
00:50:46This is terrible.
00:50:49Well, all right, now what?
00:50:51What will you do?
00:50:52Turn that thing at the festival gardens loose.
00:50:54What else?
00:50:55Take it back to the sea while we still get a chance.
00:50:57What the hell's the matter with you?
00:50:58This is the 20th century.
00:50:59There must be some way of handling an overgrown animal.
00:51:01There's no doubt that we can stop the creature.
00:51:04We'll call you if we need you again.
00:51:06Good evening, gentlemen.
00:51:35Sam, stop.
00:51:37He'll kill you.
00:51:38Turn him loose.
00:51:39Stop it, Sam.
00:51:41He'll kill you.
00:51:42Give me a chance.
00:51:44Let him go.
00:51:46Don't do it, Sam.
00:52:06Stop it, Sam.
00:52:07You're crazy.
00:52:10Sam.
00:52:11Sam.
00:52:13Sam.
00:52:13Are you all right?
00:52:14Sam.
00:52:15Are you all right?
00:52:16Sam.
00:52:19Sam.
00:52:19You'll be all right, kid.
00:52:29Following the disaster of this afternoon, the loss of a destroyer with all hands, the Admiralty
00:52:34has deployed major forces of the NATO fleet off the mouth of the estuary in an attempt
00:52:39to locate and destroy the monster, even before it reaches the coastal defensive.
00:53:01Tracking west 2-5.
00:53:03Still tracking west 2-5.
00:53:05Flag to task for.
00:53:06Search 20 degrees west.
00:53:16Search 20 degrees west.
00:53:38Oh, my God.
00:54:11Five, five, five.
00:54:23Act secure, sir.
00:54:35Steady as you go for torpedo attack.
00:54:37Course 275, range 1,500.
00:54:40Course 275, sir.
00:54:42Fire in depth.
00:54:43There you go.
00:54:44Ready to open fire, sir.
00:54:46Fire one.
00:54:51Fire two.
00:54:52Fire one.
00:54:56Attack and target in search area.
00:55:01Contact broken.
00:55:03Target moving toward the estuary.
00:55:04Too fast to follow.
00:55:06Get me submarine control.
00:55:08Sector 2-8.
00:55:11We're just closing the last of the submarine nets now, sir.
00:55:15Yes, sir.
00:55:26Yes.
00:55:27Yes.
00:55:28One moment.
00:55:29The nets have been torn and the connection was gone.
00:55:35I see.
00:55:38No, there's nothing further you can do now.
00:55:44The creatures got through.
00:55:47Smashed the nets.
00:55:49Get me, river patrol.
00:56:07I'm just off the embankment.
00:56:08About 100 yards away.
00:56:10I can see the huge beast still advancing.
00:56:12The second line of defense has been organized, greatly reinforced.
00:56:17Ready to board in, Charlie.
00:56:20Good fighting now.
00:56:21Man your stations.
00:56:25Petrol lines ready, sir.
00:56:29Open the valves.
00:56:38Abandoned, sir.
00:56:40Come on, hop to it.
00:56:46Come on, get behind those sandbags.
00:57:05Fire.
00:57:32Get me army headquarters.
00:57:35The atomic weapons are out of the question.
00:57:37Ain't any built-up area.
00:57:39Tanks, of course.
00:57:40Go out, go out.
00:57:42Off you go.
00:57:53Attention.
00:57:54This is a special bulletin.
00:57:56Civil defense authorities have declared a state of emergency
00:57:59for all London areas within three miles of the River Thames.
00:58:13The streets must be kept clear for military and defense personnel.
00:58:17If you are without shelter, go to the nearest underground and stay there.
00:58:22The streets must be kept clear for military and defense personnel.
00:58:44All right, sirs, and get your men off there in front.
00:58:46Go, go, go.
00:58:47Go, go, go, go.
00:58:47Hurry, it's not too bad.
00:58:48Hurry, it up.
00:58:50On the double.
00:58:55Come on.
00:58:56Come on.
00:58:56Get off the streets.
00:58:58Go to your home.
00:58:59Don't panic.
00:59:01You will be notified when the emergency is over.
00:59:03Get off the streets and go to your home.
00:59:08This way.
00:59:09Come on.
00:59:10Get them all on.
00:59:25Up the ramp down.
00:59:26Move it.
00:59:26Move it.
00:59:27Take your positions.
00:59:29Fireing positions.
00:59:35It's advancing upriver directly towards us.
00:59:38Very good, sir.
00:59:41While the army indicates full confidence, they report growing casualties among their forces.
00:59:46We are told that Downing Street is in constant communication with other world capitals where grave concern is expressed.
00:59:54Call headquarters.
00:59:56Shoot the flares.
00:59:58Open sight fire.
01:00:00Stand by.
01:00:02Commence fire.
01:00:04Fire.
01:00:10Fire.
01:00:12Fire.
01:00:17Fire.
01:00:21Fire.
01:00:59The bridge is gone.
01:01:01One of London's oldest landmarks smashed like matchwood.
01:01:04Nothing has stopped this beast so far.
01:01:06Nothing.
01:01:06Not even point-blank cannon fire.
01:01:09Here's the tar bridge up.
01:01:11The power of this thing is fantastic.
01:01:48Check the missile units.
01:01:49Yes, sir.
01:01:50Hello.
01:01:50Yes, sir.
01:02:30We're moving into position now, sir.
01:02:33Any estimates of the time of alert, sir?
01:02:36No, but stand by.
01:02:55Yes, sir, I will.
01:02:5640 degrees.
01:02:586-2-1-0.
01:03:04Hold on.
01:03:05Go, go, go.
01:03:13Go, go.
01:03:34What's up?
01:03:36Come on.
01:03:42You've burned out a connection.
01:03:49Where's Sean?
01:04:00Sean, come on.
01:04:08All holes in this area must be evacuated at once.
01:04:12Do not delay.
01:04:13You have no time to remove your belongings.
01:04:15Get out of the area.
01:04:17Proceed in a westerly direction.
01:04:18Come on.
01:04:21Come on.
01:04:26We'll be right in a westerly direction.
01:04:27Come on.
01:04:35Come on.
01:04:37Come on.
01:09:55I...
01:09:57Tell him where this thing will turn next.
01:10:05I don't care how important it is.
01:10:07You must interrupt.
01:10:08It's imperative that I speak to the minister at once.
01:10:36I don't care how important it is.
01:11:13I don't care how important it is.
01:11:39I see.
01:11:41Well, let me know the moment you are.
01:11:44Thanks for coming.
01:11:45It's undoubtedly heading for Battersea Park, sir.
01:11:46That's the place to stop it.
01:11:47How much voltage do you estimate to be required for electrocuting this animal?
01:11:51Two million, three million volts.
01:11:54It's only a guess.
01:11:55There's not much precedent to go on, sir.
01:11:57Quite.
01:11:57Give me Battersea Power Station.
01:12:02Is he okay?
01:12:04He'll be all right.
01:12:21He'll be all right.
01:12:21Station.
01:12:23Put the fire.
01:12:29Go!
01:12:30Go!
01:12:31Go!
01:12:37Go!
01:12:45Go!
01:12:46Go!
01:12:57We're waiting at Battersea, waiting, hoping, praying for a miracle.
01:13:02The entire electricity of all industrial London has been diverted to the wires surrounding the small animal's enclosure.
01:13:08Will it be enough? Will it be enough to stop the huge beast?
01:13:12Will the miracle be granted?
01:13:14Will it be yet another of man's puny efforts to oppose this irresistible force of ancient nature?
01:13:22Hey, Sam, this virus is wrong.
01:14:01Power circuit has just been completed, sir.
01:14:07What's the reading?
01:14:08Four billion boats and full ampers, sir. The wires won't take any more.
01:14:28Oh, wait till we find the trust.
01:14:30Is it okay to Jurassic Park?
01:14:35What is it so important to understand supposed to be identified?
01:14:41Hybris!
01:14:48She's hurt. She's going down.
01:14:51No. No, she's torn the wires.
01:14:56No, nothing.
01:15:20No, nothing.
01:15:55We pray for a miracle.
01:15:58Maybe our prayers have been answered.
01:16:00A great city, overwhelmed, exhausted,
01:16:04lies helpless under the immeasurable power and ferocity
01:16:07of this towering apparition from before the dawn of history.
01:16:12And yet, as though disdaining the pygmies under her feet,
01:16:17she turns back, turns with her young,
01:16:22leaving the prostrate city,
01:16:24leaving the haunts of man,
01:16:27and leaving man himself to ponder the proud boast
01:16:30that he alone is lord of all creation.
01:16:43We're going back now.
01:16:46Back to the sea.
01:16:48The night of thunder.
01:16:50The night of thunder.
01:17:00The night of thunder.
01:17:08The night of thunder.
01:17:40Even Gorgo's mother was played by a male actor.
01:17:44I'm Dana Hersey and this is The Film Detective.
01:17:47Thanks for watching.
