Up From The Depths Reviews | Gorgo (1961)

[@Sargebri]

Fun fact, Eugene Lourie's daughter watched "The Giant Behemoth" and cried at the end when the monster was killed at the end. When work began on Gorgo he remembered that and made sure the monsters escaped at the end.

[@nickmitsialis]

I think His daughter cried at the end of Beast From Twenty Thousand Fathoms; Kind of appropriate given how subdued the ending was. Rhedosaurus didn't ask to be revived but it was too big and dangerous to allow to live. I found the ending suitably somber.

[@febbster]

It was Beast From 20,000 Fathoms that made her cry. His dramatic death was classic. Behemoth had no such ending .

[@leonarddillon256]

Made in 1961?!? Damn! This movie looks like it’s made in the 1970s decade. By what I’m seeing, this film has some good visuals, suitmation, and presentation! Now I gotta see this

[@garyreid6165]

Gorgo was supposed to be released in the late 50’s but was held up because of a legal issue with the King Brothers. I recommend seeing the film Trumbo, with actor Bryan Cranston playing blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and John Goodman as Herman King.

[@kerthunk8517]

Gorgo is an interesting movie. Rather than just feeling derivative or generic, a lot of the movie feels exactly like the other giant monster movies that came before it (King Kong, Godzilla, 20m Miles to Earth, even Varan etc.), but what original ideas the movie does have to call it own were way, way ahead of the curve, and have gone to become farily recognisable traits of the genre in their own right. Makes you wonder if there's some really great version that was left on the cutting room floor.

[@thebatmanrn8908]

This was always a favorite. The kid always kinda grated on me but the monster stuff was really stellar for suitmation fans.

[@thebatmanrn8908]

I sort of think The Lost World: Jurassic Park pays a nod to this (the T-Rex adult/child parts at the end).

[@febbster]

Agree but kong '76 was an awful movie. Kong 2005 was a masterpiece & so was Gorgo !!

[@moviemeows4466]

I love the mother protecting its baby plotline. I wonder why it is not seen in any other giant monster movie as it is commonly known animal behaviour.

[@Gappasaurus]

A few months later “Mothra” used a similar plot line (Mothra destroying Tokyo trying to rescue the kidknapped Shobijin), and 1967’s “Gappa” used nearly the EXACT same plotline as Gorgo 😅

[@MrEnricoOL]

Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 1993 had a plot line where Godzilla searches for baby Godzilla.

[@MinisterofTinyHeads]

We need more Gorgo, they should put him in the monsterverse as a homage. It would be a good easter egg.

[@parkerpshebnisky1051]

I’ve watched this movie so many times!

[@VintageNarwhal]

I’m 23 and when I was in my early elementary school years I found this movie. I loved Godzilla and mainly fighting as a kid. I remember watching this movie and being like damn that’s all it took at the start, then was like maybe it will escape or something but even then kinda underwhelming. Then, the big reveal. The Big mama. And boy was she big and I just remember that being one of my earliest memories of having patience and not everything being as it seems or as plain cut as it seems. Opened my eyes to other monster movies where I had only watched Godzilla and Godzilla monsters movies (i.e. Rogan, king ghidorah, mothra, etc) Amazing movie. Could use a better cast but now that I think of it, you are right the kid was the saving grace for the cast in terms of his role. Again, I was a young kid so I was never wanting to see human drama or kiddy stuff I wanted to see fighting damnit but this kid really kept me in it and I also related to him in his sympathy. 10/10 would watch again.

[@scottmiller6495]

Vincent Winter was the kid (Sean) in the picture, he was a great child actor and died when he was only 50, so sad !!!!!

[@Paugose]

Anecdote : The design of Gorgo was made by none other than Steve Ditko, who is the co-creator of Spider-Man and creator of characters like Question, Doctor Strange or the controversial Mr.A. It went to the point that Ditko, working with Charlton Comic at the time, worked on a Gorgo comic book, wich was released a few days before the movie, the comic was a total success in the United Kingdom along with the movie. The series went into hiatus after a full year. In "Ditko Monsters : GORGO", I also learned that the director is the man who made Creature from 20 000 Fathoms. His daughter called him "evil" when he decided to kill off the monster in this movie, so when he got the task of making Gorgo, he went the other way around, making a sympathetic creature that creates empathy among viewers. I always thought the Baby Godzilla scene from Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II, where Godzilla meets his young and goes to the sea with him, was inspired by the ending of Gorgo.

[@GreyhawkGrognard]

In the Bestiary for the Adventures Dark and Deep role-playing game, there's actually a Gorgosaurus that was directly inspired by this film. It even has the little ear flaps in the illustration.

[@Vespuchian]

Ah, another MST3K classic, and actually a rather fine movie in its own right.

Gorgo's one of the best monster movies out there. Amazing effects for the time and a great monster to boot. Better than most kaiju films from the 60s

[@YourLocalJamesHetfieldFangirl]

This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is What i Call a Movie That is The Perfect Film For Kids and Families!

[@LSOK38]

When I was a little kid, this film was always listed as a melodrama. Not sci-fi. Not monster movie. TV Guide always played up the storyline of the "momma" monster coming to rescue her offspring. They always recommended it for family viewing. That is why it apparently was always treated with more respect than other monster movies at that Time.

[@scottmiller6495]

Absolutely 💯 correct!

[@Irrelevant402]

Yeah I think this is better than the Giant Behemoth though that one did have some nice sense of mystery and tension as they try to figure out what is happening. This one...damn I honestly think it has the best sense of panic, fear and chaos as a monster tears down a city. I mean the people are just going wild in the streets and falling out stairs, jumping from buildings. Just a horrible sense of pandemonium. Plus the monsters have great looks and roars.

[@garyreid6165]

Worthy of note. The stunt work. Have you ever seen such great stunts in a monster movie? Outstanding.

[@CaptainCanuck1975]

In the scene where dozens of people are trying to get down the stairs into the tunnel, one guy was pushed right up against a cement obstacle. I was actually concerned, because it looked like he was being crushed for real. There's also the shot of the guy with the sandwich board falling down and a few people run right over him.

[@garyreid6165]

@@CaptainCanuck1975 The scene with the married couple jumping out the window is also noteworthy. I agree with you about the man yelling for people to repent getting knocked down and trampled. That scene demonstrates just how effective it was.

[@febbster]

[@denniskristos3800]

"Gorgo" is a fine movie and very much a product reflecting the values of the time it was made in. The script posits from early on that Man is in charge and can exploit what he chooses on the planet and when he chooses to do so. Then in Act III, (much like the present climate crisis that's spiraling out of control), Nature comes along and says, "Wrong, hold my beer!".

[@Ape_Mode]

I remember seeing Gorgo on Cable TV when young as a kid on some weekend night while my parents where asleep. As a Godzilla Fan, I enjoyed the look and feel. I'll never forget the actual hints of horror and fear in the streets. IT helped grow my affinity for film in general at a young age.

Something I loved of this was the final shot of returning to the water which I think predates godzilla doing it. And I loved it because like gojira's ending message is if we screw up again it'll be worse. Yes we defeated gojira with the oxygen destroyer but we can't make another one so if there's ever another godzilla from our nuclear meddling we're screwed. And with gargo it's even more hopeless because we never stopped it. It just left. If it comes back, especially from us messing with the sea, and we'd be screwed again. To me the movie is enjoyable for it's setting, nice monster design, and doing some great things for the time period.

I was lucky enough to see this on the big screen as a kid - during a "kiddee matinee" in 1970. My name being Sean, and being a huge giant monster fan, of course I identified with the kid. - And I'm happy the movie never got bogged down with any kind of human-based soap opera, as so many contemporary movies do.

[@JohnDonovanProductions]

Except for embarrassing atrocities like Konga and Reptilicus , and endless juvenile - aimed product from Japan , MGM's 1961 Gorgo pretty much signaled the end of the giant - monster - on - the - loose genre that had continued unabated since 1953. Although many of the genre's plot conventions were recycled for Gorgo , Eugene Lourie , the director and co - writer of the original story , can be forgiven , as he also directed and helped write The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms , the film that began the giant monster assault . Gorgo did offer two significant variations on the formula . First , the beast turns out to be a beastlet , a mere 65 - feet tall , and when it is captured , its angry mother comes to the rescue . Secondly , the monsters do not die in the end , as Mama Gorgo frees her child and they return to their home in the sea . The idea for the happy ending came to Lourie years earlier when his young daughter tearfully watched The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms perish and the director vowed to one day make a film where the monster survives . Gorgo's technical effects were often overly - ambitious for the budget there was an interminable amount of military stock footage added by the producers , and Lourie's story was rewritten , resulting in an unfocused screenplay full of missed opportunities , but despite the negatives , Gorgo remains a richly - rewarding viewing experience . Even with more death and destruction than a dozen monster movies before it , it is a deeply - touching film that served as a fitting and satisfying end to the cycle .

Gorgo herself isn't the most incredible design, but I do like how they tried to make her a sort of aquatic dinosaur with those fins. I gave up trying to find this movie a long time ago, but now I might renew the search. Maybe I'll see this monster as the underrated classic everyone says it is.

I remember seeing Gorgo on television back in the 70’s. I immediately fell in love with the film because it was a solid monster movie. My cousin had the the Gorgo comic book, but I couldn’t have it. Eugene Lourie saw Godzilla and thought that Godzilla’s movements were stilted and not good enough. By comparison, Gorgo moved a lot better than Godzilla on screen. Lourie originally wanted to film it in Paris, France, but Paris was too far inland, so London was chosen. The musical score by Angelo Lavagnino was great. You can get the score on the Monstrous Movie Music label. A recording company that re-records the scores of classic monster movies. The Gorgo score is pretty close to how it is heard in the film. You can find it at www.mmmrecordings.com.

I'd never heard of this until they featured it on MST3K, and it's definetely better than the usual fare they watched on that show. The movie's lack of any female characters (except Gorgo herself) is kinda odd considering the shoehorned-in romantic subplots that these movies are known for, but in general it's a pretty good watch, with or without Mike and the bots.

Gorgo: The kaiju version of the Beast From 2,000 Fathoms

[@febbster]

Eugene Laurie produced all 3 : Beast, Behemoth & Gorgo !

[@eosauriart]

Gorgo reminds us all that every nation should make its own kaiju film, whether that be Japan, the US, the UK, South Korea, hell, even countries such as India and Pakistan, who make plenty of fantasy films but have yet to make kaiju films. Kaiju can tell someone a lot about how they view the fear of the unknown and how they view their countries' monolithic power. Gorgo, as you said, is a veiled allegory for colonialism; the theft of beings and objects from the Global South to display in an imperialist nation-state. it really is a great film for showing how the Empire's grasp on the Global South was failing in the 1960's.
