To prove countries other than Japan can do kaiju movies, I review the British monster movie "Gorgo" (1961). What, you were expecting maybe Godzilla? (Originally aired Feb. 3rd, 2014)

I don't understand why Gorgo never got it's own film series like Godzilla did. I think it would be interesting to watch Gorgo fighting other monsters from European mythology.

I love when you think the kid is mistaking the monster's name when Ogra is actually Gorgo's mommy

The #1 thing I hated about this movie...the kid clearly knew the monster was a baby and didn't even bother telling anyone

I'm surprised they haven't remade Gorgo. If the brits do handle themselves like Japan, why haven't they made more Gorgo movies? Wouldn't it be something to have Gorgo fight other monsters? Or have its own remake? Bring Gorgo back, god-dammit!!!!!!!!!

My favorite giant monster film when I was a kid, because the "monster" wins. Let's face it--In this film and "King Kong", the "monster" is an innocent victim who is kidnapped for profit, so good for Gorgo. Also, I always hated that annoying boy, too.

Fun fact: Gorgo (technically Ogra) is featured in one of the more recent episodes of Monster Island Buddies as an ex-wife of Godzilla. And she was a member of the World Kaiju Council along with Garuda and Maguma in that episode.

"Their GI Joe division"? It's England, don't you mean Action Man?

They were going to at least give the dead guy a proper terrified face, but they couldn't find a British actor willing to show that much emotion.

My real gripe with the movie is Ill never know if Gorgo was leave or remain.

It really does all come back around full circle yet again, because Gorgo then influences the plot of "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" 1994 and also that awful "Gappa" movie that Nikkatsu Studios put out.

Gorgo also appeared in Gorgo comic books by Charlton comics for 23 issues.1961-63. With artwork in several by Steve Ditko that also drew Spider-man.

So some clarification, even if it's 8 years late:

You know what they should have done with the diver? Said he'd died of decompression sickness, and wonder why a trained diver with plenty of air left in his tanks would return the the surface so fast that he gave himself the bends.

Mother Gorgo would give the Original Godzilla one hell of a fight.

One of my favorite monster movies when I was a kid,Gorgo does NOT die at the end of this film like so many flicks of this type back in the day.I understand there was a comic back in the 60's of this beastie.

There's also The Giant Behemoth, which is the middle part of Eugene Lourie's monster trilogy.

In the novelization, the kid, Sean, is McCartin the harbormaster's son. Author Carson Bingham also added a grown daughter character for McCartin to serve a love interest for the lead.
