THE LAST TIME BEING 1992.I REMEMBNER WHEN I WAS A KID WATCHING THIS MOVIE.I ACTUALLY CRIED WHEN THEY BLEW THE BEHEMOTH UP!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GREAT PIECE OF HORROR MOVIE HISTORY!!!!!!!

Okay film, killer commentary:
The movie, as a creature feature, is just really okay. I like the scene with the behemoth and the electrical poles, but other then that, not alot stands out. This movie really shines for the commentary, however. The effects guys are hilarious! And they give some interesting information on how movies were made back then. Definately worth a listen.

Classic film, MISSING KEY SCENE THOUGH!:
A Great film but shame on Warner Bros. for releasing an edited version! Film quality is good, but the FERRY SCENE where the creature attacks and sinks the ferry is MISSING! Great sequence involving people boarding a ferry for an afternoon ride, when suddenly the creature attacks. Old woman eating, little girl with doll, full ship of people become victims of the beast. Memorable last scene in this sequence showing bodies floating, burned from the creatures radioactive rays, gruesome, yet an important part of the movie, What Happened To This Scene? Too long to blame it on broken film, obviously they used an Edited print! Too bad, hopefully the eventual DVD release will be INTACT! And COMPLETE!

"And The Lord said, Behold now.....The Behemoth":
One of the last in "the giant monster from sea" genre of the 50's "Gorgo" officially being the last in 1961 before the japan imports came in. The story concerns that of a mysterious radioactive force that not only seems to wash up mountains of dead fish on england shore but infects one man's hand & kills another. An investigation by Marine biologist uncovers the radioactivity's source from that of the titled creature, a huge brontasaur left over from "King Kong" who proceeds to stomp London and burn all within it's radioactive range. Another of my favorites from the creature feature era This film was probably Willis O'Brien's swan song as his creation stirs the streets of Merry old in all it's glory one would tend to think on life had come full circle from his brontosaur of the "Lost world" made some 30 years earlier,Unlike "The beast from 20,000 fathoms" This film takes on a darker tone focusing more on the science and the aftermath of radiation (showing burn victims, fishing market slumps etc)& in addition a memorable score. Gene Evans in one of his few goodguy roles accompanies Andre Morell as Prof. Bigford Special effect range from a wonderful entrance by the creature on the docks to the quickie shot of the beast's wooden head on a makeshift raft. You wouldn't see this sequence on warner bros.vhs version of The giant behemoth though. I wouldn't believe that the company responsible for so many classics like "The African Queen" & "The Roaring 20's" would be too cheap to use a 90 min tape. The picture quality is great but I hope the dvd will be more complete "Thy own right hand shall save thee"
