VOYAGE TO THE PREHISTORIC PLANET // Full Science Fiction Movie // Basil Rathbone // English // HD

[@SwedeProof]

Seeing Basil Rathbone in the opening credits grabbed my attention whilst scrolling through YT. Basil Rathbone (what a cool name!) and Nigel Bruce won our hearts and our admiration portraying Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. I had "no clue" he ever did a sci-fi film!

[@MrSmartAlec]

The original version of this movie is a Soviet film called Planeta Bur (Planet of Storms). It was modified for US market with new scenes featuring Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue and dubbed in English. If you can find a copy of Planeta Bur it's worth it to watch even with subtitles.

[@aspenrebel]

Wow!! I'm sorry for your childhood.

[@MM-zs7ir]

Me too! The ending scene with the Venus lady creeped me out though.

[@ToyKingWonder]

As a kid I saw this a few times. That ending I found incredibly haunting and wondered what the movie was for years. Not bad effects for the time. I love how the ending was in a reflection so you didn't get a real idea of whatever it was at the pool, the face in the rock was really disturbing, the music, the smoky sunset.

[@BusStopProductions.]

Bruh spoilers much??

[@rippenburn]

It's hard to fathom how in 1965 they had such little idea of what Venus was like and too easy to take for granted how wrong we might be about everything else.

This is a hacked Soviet sci-fi Planeta bur from 1961. Film was illegal contracted. Some episodes were added and Soviet movie stars were anonymized...

[@СергейКарташков-э9ъ]

@RedemptionSoS ? Так и есть, "Планета бурь", реж. Клушанцев, Ленинград, 1961. Советские актеры Георгий Жжёнов, Геннадий Вернов, в титрах переименованы как «Курт Боден» и «Роберт Чантал», и вставлено (а тж. заменено) несколько эпизодов.

[@edwardmcmurray9764]

This movie Rocks . Definately way ahead of it's time .

[@innocentoctave]

Actually parts of two films: revoiced scenes from the Russian 'Planeta Bur' (1962), with a new script by Roger Corman, augmented by new scenes featuring Rathbone and Domergue (1965). That's why so many scenes seem to be dubbed - they are. Most of the cast are Russian. 'Planeta Bur' ('Planet of Storms') is worth seeing in its own right.

[@naagmasa34]

Пожалуй, это единственный случай, когда американцы украли у русских кино. "Планета бурь" примечателен тем, что постановщик спецэффектов Клушанцев был кумиром Дж.Лукаса.

I grew up on watching these movies, but it's hard to believe that 3 years after this movie was made in 1965, the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey was made in 1968. Seems more like a 20 year difference between the two of them.

[@deaustin4018]

Very insightful comment, takes me back to the 60s as well, This was OK, run of the mill, but 2001 was like the opaque glass removed, a crystal clear vision of what might or could be

[@bonniebrock5109]

Karl Yes it does say a lot about him. Directed the original Spartacus, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket, to name a few. But I was surprised to find that IMDb showed he directed only 16 films and only wrote and produced even less then that. Imagine if he had a extra 20 years and what he could of come up with.

[@bonniebrock5109]

d e austin Thanks for your comment. These type of movies are fun and campy, especially for kids back then, but until I found out what year this was made in , I had thought it was from the 1950s instead. It is like night and day between the 2 movies.

The Russians were winning the celluloid space race until Kubrick's 2001. That movie even borrowed some of the in camera effects from movies like Ikarie XB 1. A respectable bit of SF. Even the Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue bits work.

[@av9071]

It is an old SOVIET film stolen by Americans. The actors are all known to the Russian speakers and the actors speak Russian. The Russian title is "Планета бурь" (the Planet of Storms).

[@williammaurer9450]

Basil Rathbone (ya think that was his real name?) barely has a part in this movie. I grew up watching these but never saw this one. Worth a watch if you like 1960's SciFi. Thx for posting it.

[@dcanmore]

Born Philip St John Basil Rathbone in South Africa. Interestingly this movie was originally a Soviet-made sci-fi film reshot with Rathbone and Faith Domergue slotted in to provide a cast for English-speaking audiences. In all Rathbone filmed his scenes in half a day while working on another movie in a studio next door.

[@adventuressurvivalinthailand]

Back in the day when everyone, including scientists, thought that Venus was a habitable swampy, jungled, mist covered world. Robert A. Henlein had a story like that and probably many others

[@RSEFX]

Thank you. So many "clever" commentators here who seem to have a need to be "superior" to these older films, cuz they all live in such "enlightened times" (written in 13pt Sarcasma Bold) Nice to see someone bring a little science history to the "enlightened ones" here. Indeed, very very little was known about Venus prior to the landing of the first probes sent there by the Russians due to its heavy cloud cover. Many writers and scientists conjectured that Venus was covered in vast oceans, and the planet existed in near prehistoric conditions. As recently as the early 90's we didn't even know if there were ANY planets outside of our own solar system, which seems preposterous now.

What is funny is that Rathbone and Domergue did their scenes totally separate from the actual film, using scenery and costumes from another totally different film the director was making at the same time.
