"A talking robot? Surely you're not serious." "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley"

[@rodhanson7112]

Forbidden planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still and War of the World's are three of the best sci-fi movie ever made

[@edmahl3365]

Don't overlook This Island Earth.

[@bderry9948]

[@trhansen3244]

I cant beleive you left out that 2000 space oddysey and planet of the apes.

[@jonathanleslie9100]

ahhhheeemmm.... Invasion of the body snatchers

[@robertanderson2542]

I will agree with you on that

[@MikeJw-je4xk]

Forbidden Planet has been my favorite sci-fi movie since childhood.

[@glennriviere7807]

One of the best science fiction movies for it's time.

[@faerieSAALE]

Even today that Krell Underground Megalopolis is truly mind numbing and terrifying! It freaked me out as little kid in theater and it still does today and I’m 74 years old! I would never want to experience such a place as that!

[@guytech7310]

That's just because your human and not Krell! Maybe if you took the brain booster you change your mind!

[@roberttalbot1658]

I'm also 74 and I was always thrilled to see this movie on TV. One of our two local TV stations would sometimes play it on New Years Eve, for some reason. My parents would go out for the evening for a few hours, and I was home by myself, but far from bored, if this movie was playing. For it's day, the effects were really incredibly well done. (Mostly). I still love this movie today.

[@clayz1]

The effect that scared me the most was watching the footprints being made by the invisible Id monster as it stalked the crew. Pretty clunky special effect now, but it was very effective at the time.

[@faerieSAALE]

@@clayz1 As a little kid then - that soundtrack completely freaked me out. The ID monster made me shake and quake and tremble in abject fear too. I was too young to absorb such special effects like that as fictional and not real. Even today I am none too fond of it. Another more recent movie that sent me off of the rails, screaming was 2006 Abominable. Those horrible creatures that ate people and bit off faces caused me to have nightmares for weeks. Since I do believe BIGFOOT exists - and want to see a real one - that movie alone crossed that off my bucket list. NO WAY am I going out seeking one to take photos of! Outer Space also terrifies me - especially the nothingness of the black void that our universe is expanding into and we know nothing about it.

[@mikeat2637]

I'm 74 also and the Krell scenes just exacerbated my childhood fear of heights, lol. Still it's a classic movie that is still relevant to day, and it gave us Honey West, Bart Maverick, Oscar Goldman and Frank Drebin.

[@thudthud5423]

I love the part where Commander Adams explains the danger the crew is in.. The Cook responds: "Surely, you've got to be kidding." Commander Adams replies: "I'm not. And don't call me Shirley."

It's darn near as good as that star trek motion picture film that came out a few years later i also like that movie with the giants apes in the black obelisk and course stars wars showed up and put sciience fiction on the map for good.

[@josemoreno3334]

One of the best SI-FI movies ever made . It was advance for it's time in the 1950s. I will never get tired of watching it. I have it in both VHS and DVD. Thanks for showing those deleted scenes. Wow.

[@fuzzywzhe]

Oh, I disagree. It's historically interesting, but it's quite dated. I think probably the best Sci-Fi film that's been made was 2001, although the ending was eye rolling - but it was just so believable and it stands up to this day, although I do admit it's quite boring. To each his own though, everybody's got their opinion.

[@Bruce15485]

@@fuzzywzhe Agree, however, I look at good Sc-fi movies for the quality of the story, and appreciate the usage of the technology at the time. You only have to look at the first 'Planet of the Apes' and see how it has dated compared to the latest 'Planet of the Apes' movies. I still think the Planet Of The Apes with Charlton Heston is still the best movie in the series !! As for '2001' - its a master piece !!!!

[@robertmiller3810]

At 80 years old, I saw Forbidden Planet in my local theater when it came out in 1956. Compared to black and white sci-fi/ monster movies, this technology was awe inspiring to movie goers. And 67 years after I first saw it, I have never seen the deleted scenes in my life. Thank you for uploading it, you have made my life that much more special and will save a copy for my enjoyment as I grab my dvd and visualize the deleted scenes as the competed original movie should have appeared in its theater release.

[@guytech7310]

I believe I saw this movie in the 1980s. I recall that I was angry at the time when I saw it was released in 1956 and I'd never known about it before. "How come no one told me about this amazing movie!" ( I was born in the 1960s) It was an amazing hidden treasure, and we did get this quality of Sci-Fi movies until the late 1970s.

[@robertmiller3810]

@@guytech7310 What gets me about Forbidden Planet, they used a laser like ray weapon. I’ve seen movies today that still use guns and bullets in futuristic sci/fi movies. They have space age flying vehicles but to lazy to have laser style weapons, so they use bullets. I guess it’s to costly huh?

[@guytech7310]

@@robertmiller3810 It was 1956, and the guns were firing neutron beams, not laser (ie light), because that was the era of the atomic age, which the buzz was hydrogen bombs, and neutron bombs. For 1956, this movie was absolutely amazing. If you look at other sci-fi movies of the mid 1950's, it was decades ahead.

[@robertmiller3810]

@@guytech7310 Of course you are correct, at 80, my memory is fading and I could not recall the names of the technology. Thank you for the answers.

[@donivanpotter2762]

Yeah I remember seeing star wars as a kid thinking the same about it. Seen forbidden planet with my dad as a kid. He let me stay up late Sunday night even though I had school the next day. It was a late movie that came on at 12:30am. I remember watching it with my dad , wonderful memory.

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

they knew how to make sci fi back then, the special effects were amazing. Seeing these movies as a child in the early 1960s, made me love studying science .

[@fuzzywzhe]

How do you feel now? I became an engineer, and watching what we've been roped into doing? I'm questioning what I've done. The internet is a surveillance tool at this point. It's also heavily censored. Central communication points are used to PREVENT communication of people, not to facilitate it.

[@TheDejael]

I knew Bebe Barron and she said this was the work print they were provided in January 1956 by special air courier from MGM Studios in Culver City to Louis & Bebe Barron in Greenwich Village, New York. They returned it with their 35mm magnetic masters of their electronic score on March 1, 1956. As you can tell, the script dialog was tightened up including Les Tremayne's uncredited opening narration, and they didn't yet have the voice tracks by Marvin Miller's excellent voice for Robby.

[@williampayne8129]

Very nice info! Wonder how they came up with those fantastic sound effects? And the Moog synthesizer wasn’t invented until 8 years later!

[@andywestwood2972]

Cool extra-facts, thanks!

[@grindupBaker]

I'm annoyed they cut out where the heroine said "There's some huge ID monster burning through the door ? What is it ?" and Leslie Nielsen replied "It's a swinging or sliding partition designed to separate 2 rooms while allowing ingress and egress, but that's not important right now with the monster coming". That was the best dialogue.

[@argent2020]

What we've got here is an accident of circumstances, let me explain. There never were that part of that movie you speak of, but; It was at the other universe where you switched, you are in this Earth where that part was never made, but it sure was there, now, the other youm the one you switched place with, he's telling people there: "I don't remember that part". 😁

"Brilliant! And don't call me Shirley."

[@somedumbozzie1539]

I want to see the Mel Brooks version.

[@mikeat2637]

When you watch this, the comparisons to Star Trek are undeniable, from the special effects, story lines and witty banter within the crew. Leslie Nielsen as Commander Adams could be Capt. Christopher Pike, Lt. Jerry Farman could be James Tiberius Kirk at an earlier point in his career, Warren Stevens as Doc Ostrow IS Bones McCoy and Richard Anderson's Chief Engineer Quinn is Montgomery Scott. I wonder how hard Gene Roddenberry studied this film.

[@JGG1701]

Studied it hard enough to call Star Trek his "own" idea. 😉

[@SnowDaulphin]

Great creators always borrow from the old and and bring in the new. Many early episodes of Star Trek are quite novel (no pun intended). Star Wars was inspired by old westerns, The Seven Samurai and other works.

[@SnowDaulphin]

I love all these actors …. missed Oscar Goldman.

[@SnowDaulphin]

Doc I think appeared in By Any Other Name in Star Trek.

[@AdamosDad]

The landing of the C-57D without pressure beam animation seems more realistic now than back then, I saw the film when it came to Cincinati, I think it was in the RKO Albee Theatre. It influenced me heavily in a lifetime of love of science, science fiction and technology.

[@1topskyrocket]

That is a good movie even without the deleted scenes and the choppy editing. However it did bother me after the guy died that there wasn't an envelope scene. Isn't that strange. I couldn't believe it that honey West looks so young and thin in this older movie. Anne Francis, I met her one time when I was working at a grocery store and she was still driving her little 62 Ford Fairlane convertible.

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

- do you think aliens would necessarily be hostile? - no... Could be anything from archangels to man-eating spiders... Or a combination of both lol, now I need to see a movie about the archangel man-eating spiders

[@nairbvel]

If you take a good look at the original description of some angels, a simple spider would be more attractive...! LOL

[@guytech7310]

The 1998 remake of Lost in space has man-eating metal spiders. The Movie "Knowing" is pretty close to archangels.

[@DirtyLilHobo]

I saw Forbidden Planet in 1956 at a drive-in theater with my parents. I was six years old and that Id monster truly scared me, had nightmares about it for weeks after.

Fun Fact: Forbidden Planet was the first major movie in which there are no scenes that take place on planet Earth

[@andywestwood2972]

That IS a fun-fact - please allow me to mention a similar thing. In the second-season of UFO TV, the producers insisted on having no on-Earth episodes. Perhaps they noticed how great Forbidden Planet was at the box office? 🤔

Undoubtedly one of the all-time classic sci-fi movies. It is, I feel, rather a pity that the bit where Doc explains Altaira's relationship with the animals in terms of the unicorn myth was omitted from the final film, it would have made things that much clearer---the other parts certainly were superfluous. And it's a shame that there was never a sequel, it would be interesting to know what happened to John and Altaira subsequently.

[@jonathanleslie9100]

I always thought that Altaira should of also been nothing more than a manifestation or Dr Morbius's mind. Having her dissolve when the planed was destroyed.

[@bbartky]

I agree on both counts 100%. I know so many people who get confused about Altaira’s relationship with the tiger. And I also think it’s a shame we never got a sequel. Not only to see the impact on the characters but also on that society. My head canon is there would have been a race to find any Krell technology in other solar systems.

[@lliamjurdom9505]

It was ahead of its time, a real influence on modern sci fi.

[@brettp5543]

Forbidden Planet was Gene Roddenberry's inspiration for much of Star Trek ... as an example the "pods" used in dropping out of light speed was the model for the transporter device. This alone saved a great deal of money by avoiding the Enterprise having to land or shuttle them around.

But what the heck, it worked and it's been a huge amount of fun, fantasy and self exploration for all of us and hopefully many more to come. I enjoyed the 60s but was embarrassed to death about the 70s, the worst decade for pop culture of the 20th century.

[@martinarcher1503]

the most influential sci-fi movie by far. When all other sci-fi movies at the time, - and before - were crude monster movies and sensationalist, FP did real sci-fi, the likes of which the golden age authors like Asimov, Bradbury, and Heinlein were writing as short stories and novels. It is up there, equal, and better than the best of the rest of all sci-fi movies

Some of the cuts were understandable apart from the one with Adams doing Quinn's personal effects. In the movie I always wondered what happened before the cast of the Id creature was revealed, as Adams looks to the right. Some cuts just should have been left in it for continuity, and story, sakes. One not shown here is an expanded dialogue when the power source of the krell city is revealed speculating just what all the power was for. It was an outstanding film, apart from the editing.
