🍕SPECTACULAR 4K PRESENTATION🍕
Discover one of the most fascinating giant monster films ever made with Gorgo (1961), now in a newly restored 4K presentation. Produced by King Brothers Productions and directed by Eugène Lourié, this British kaiju classic has become a favorite among Godzilla fans for its spectacular creature effects, large-scale city destruction, and surprisingly emotional story. Featuring Bill Travers, William Sylvester, and Vincent Winter, the film stands as a unique entry in the history of giant monster cinema and remains essential viewing for kaiju enthusiasts.
After an undersea volcanic eruption off the coast of Ireland releases a 65-foot sea monster, salvage boatmen capture the creature and transport it to London’s Battersea Funfair. When scientists discover the monster is only an infant, its 250-foot-tall mother emerges from the sea, unleashing devastation across London’s most iconic landmarks in a desperate search for her missing offspring before the story reaches its heartfelt conclusion.

This is absolutely amazing for the channel. Original 4k restorations is Next Level, thank you for your passion, we’re all lucky beneficiaries!
Yes!!
And very much of thanks to you for it, PizzaGuy.
GORGO was the very worst (menacing, impudent and brazen) of the Big Beasts, and now we’ll be as thus enabled to view even more of terror and horror of IT with such improved fineness.
Pizza People, I’m so curious about your backgrounds – are you part of UCLA film archive or something similar?
Atta boy Pizza! 🧓
@laura24590 That is one interesting question, Laura.
I guess Pizza Guy here naturally would attract the more cultured of flick aficionados, so why not?
In the mid-Sixties to nineteen eighty I lived just a stone’s throw west of UCLA/Westwood, attending there symphonies and Film Archives of their Warner Bros. Vita-Phone restorations.
Perhaps that qualifies myself to be just a bit-so?
At W.L.A. in those earlier days THINGS WERE HAPPENING, UCLA-wise alright.
We were then bristling with Mehtas.
Zubin downtown conducting the L.A. Philharmonic.
Mehli (Zubin’s dad) professing and conducting at UCLA.
Daddi Mehta pianist, occasionally visiting pianistically.
Excepting for Westwood and UCLA proper, L.A. now fast heads for WRECK status.
Best regards to you, Laura.
With dinosaurs, science fiction was sometimes ahead of the scientists. When “Gorgo” was produced, the prevailing scientific view was that mother dinos laid their eggs and then abandoned them to hatch on their own. Now paleontologists have caught up to “Gorgo”: Many species of mother dinos cared for their young and would defend them from predators.
Good story, but I just don’t care for this type of movie having little kids.
Love this film (Dare I say, I like it better than Godzilla?), and a nice surprise twist too, giving the story a bit more depth than most giant monster films.
Brilliant – I have always loved Godzilla and other monster films and this one is a hidden gem. I managed to watch it with my late mum a year or so back, she died earlier this year – she called me down when it came on, I told it was a great pic so she wanted to sit and watch it together, she loved it 😉
Wtf happened to t dude n t diving bell!?
Much better than Godzilla!
