Description:
A volcanic eruption in the North Atlantic brings to the surface a 65-foot prehistoric monster. Two treasure divers capture the creature and take him to London where he is put on display in a circus. A scientist is thoughtful enough to point out that the sailors' bonanza is only an infant, and that a full-grown specimen would be over 200 feet in height. Sure enough, Gorgo's mama comes thundering ashore, reclaims her offspring and heads back to sea — but not before she trashes a generous portion of London. The special effects in GORGO, provided by Tom Howard — two-time Academy Award winner, are truly admirable. The monster is quite ferocious — except when he wiggles his ears. Released by MGM in 1961.

I have to admit i love this movie. Growing up as a kid, i always use to love watching the classic dinosaur movies. Wether it was stop motion animation or the man in the rubber suit routine like the Godzilla movies. Wether or not you like Gorgo, this movie has the most realistic, incredible special effects out of most of the giant monster films. No stop motion animation here, just an actor in a rubber suit stomping through miniatures. You'll have to squint your eyes pretty close to tell if ... Read More

As far as I'm concerned this was the worst movie of all time. The movie that usualy lays claim to the title of worst movie of all time ("Plan 9 from Outer Space") was at least fun to laugh at. This is a boring groaner from the get go.
This starts out with a storyline that is completely forgotten a few minutes in. This is just a lame swipe of other monster movies. The monster is poorly done and the editing is so poor it's a laugh when the explosions don't match the reactions of the monster. ... Read More

The first thing you should know about VCI's "Gorgo-Widescreen Destruction Edition" is that it is missing about 2 or 3 minutes of footage, confirmed by the fact that its running time has been reduced to 73 minutes, although the box lists the full 76 minute version. The first problem you will encounter when watching the films is during Angelo Lavagnino's excellent opening score when there seems to be an echo effect, as if the stereo tracks where out of sync with each other, resulting in the music becoming ...

This is one of those films I saw as a child that stuck with me for a long time. There was some great people behind the camera on this film, Oscar winning Director of Photography Freddie Young.(Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Ryans Daugther.) Also oscar winning photographic effects man Tom Howard. A cast that works, including one of the first roles for John Wood,(Wargames, Ladyhawke.) as the man in the street saying "The End Is Near".Great music too. I just wish that someone would find a good print of ... Read More

I saw Gorgo when it was first released in the movies in 1960 and I'm probably the movie's biggest fan. This 'Destruction Edition' release by VCI is the first serious print of the movie to be sold. The bonfire scene on Nara Island where Gorgo makes his first appearance is restored to visual perfection. It looks like it was actually printed from the negative as do many other scenes in this release. It seems like all the criticism heaped on VCI for releasing the atrocious previous version with its near black ... Read More
