It Came From Beneath The Sea

[MossyTehNinja]

I luv this movie!!! *sarcasm* *sarcasm*

Jk nice job. 

[neocoders]

That helicopter will sort things out. Oh ok.

[raptofilms]

I like early monster movies better than todays CGI rubbish

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel see video book trailer

[bakugan438]

could that actually happen at about 2:55? did they die? i know it's just a movie though. Really cool.

[balrog13571]

Was part of that footage in the streets stock footage from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms? It looked like it. I love Harryhausen's work though. There were alot of B-movies of the time, but the ones he made the effects for were actually good ones. Some don't even need to be called B-movies like Jason and the Argonauts (plotwise and effectswise anyway). He definately was a stop-motion genius. Not liek today where it's all computers.

@balrog13571

50s B-Movies used a lot of stock footage from other movies, the only thing that makes Beast from 20,000 Fathams, It came from Beneath the Sea and 20 Million Miles to Earth worth watching is Ray Harryhausen's stop motion creations, had it not been for Harryhausen's talents they would be just more 50s B-Movies about Aliens and Nuclear Technology gone bad

[balrog13571]

@snakes3425

Yep.

[mtct1971]

Jeeze.lol,how big was that thing?

[SuperReptilicus]

[SuperReptilicus]

Giant Octopus that attacks city. They are running. the sound the one using flame thrower for the octopus, looks like firetruck

[incinerator327]

great stuff for the times

[EduarquiRJ]

Merci beaucoup par cette magique de l'écran!

[marzli]

great classic!

[gzilla54]

i really think they should remake this film.

[laineycrusoe]

This film is really good. The monster films from the 50s are so cool!

BTW has this film been colourised? I'm certain I saw a colour version of this on Sci-Fi Channel not long ago.

[CrichtonSphere]

Yeah, it has, as part of some Ray Haryhausen collection DVD. I still think the black-and-white version is better.

[BobbyProFilms]

helicopter guys: omg look! should we turn? nah it will move soon..AGHHH SHIT LOOK OUT *boom*

[bubbawhale]

all: OHMAH EHIG AH AHAHAHAHHA

[bobbyjic]

if your going to san francisco your gonna meet some octopusses there! l0l

[lst1195]

Haryhausen was Awesome.

[walmartgoof]

@lst1195 he was a genius it took hours and hours of stop motion animation to get it just right he worked his ass off for his work

[OlgaBoys08]

Look at the two dudes run by at 2:11 They're smiling.

[1987airforce]

i think that all those cicle things is where the eyes are.

Have a day,

Les.......

[1987airforce]

it also has eyes

[911TRUTHINATOR]

LOOK!!! Calamari for everyone! get the flame throwers!

[TheForgottenFlesh]

Imagine if Harryhausen worked on the Octopus for Ed Wood's Bride Of The Monster intead of this? Like Lugosi's creation just starts growing uncontrolably and ends up attacking the city. LOL Ed wood have been rolling in money. I love these movies, this is when filmmakers had care and passion for their films.One thing I like about these effects better than CGI is it actually looks like they are there on the screen, like being filmed, not just a bad computer game insert added afterwards.

[nightfallstain]

classic

[Whizkid103]

I love the tiny human/giant animal movies.

They're so cheesey, you can't help but to love them!

[myfriendcaffeine]

harryhausen is the master! you are so right, he is a GOD! no one, except maybe jim danforth, can come close to the magic he brought to the screen.

[larssonboy]

hahahahahahahaha think that this scared the crap outta people

[larsdeheer]

lol that they loved this movie in that time its so stupid XD

[Cool2BCeltic]

Notice that traffic is just driving normally past the ocean terminal as the octopus goes under.

[Konijn09]

Lol this Movie is so funny , I've watched with my dad xD Whahaha

[leo12namath]

this movie was probably what inspired cloverfield,its a classic

[zimchar]

now that is some fried calamari!

[SIRJONAS]

omg this movie is classic, and it rules

[Fruth37]

This is a great movie. You'll see some stock footage used in other "monster" movies, but so what. Old "wrinkle-neck" Kenneth Tobey plays a navy sex machine/monster slayer and plays it straight. The love story is corny. My favorite line..."Life Boat...men in it."

[fizzlebug]

can someone do a remake of this film?

[davemrakaelmo]

i agree with u fizzlebug dey did it for kinf=gkong y not dis?

[JourneyMaster]

Harryhausen has inspired so many filmmakers and visual effects artists working in the business today. I actually was privileged to meet him once and see some of his creatures used in the movies - even got a picture taken with him. Just a great memory.

[zobajoe]

Love the monster roar!

[jackmage11]

Five second theater version:

once upon a time there was a giant octopus. It destroyed stuff. Then it was blown up, and everybody who didn't die lived happily ever after. The end.

[vaiman777]

The public has been hungry for movies like these since King Kong and if it hadn't had been for people like Ray, who knows where things would end up. Harryhausen was legend...period!!!

[CptFreeze]

Great classic SciFi with plenty of action scenes. That octopus is da man!

[retromaster2000s]

Actually this cost alot loss then any current film including The Pirates Of The Carribean Films. Was done on a low-budget Harryhausen actually took off two Tentacles to save some money because of the budget so it only has 6 not 8. It doesn't spoil the film though. But the Stop-Motion Technique is alot harder & painstaking then today's CGI.

[retromaster2000s]

Harryhausen is awsome, this movie is awsome my ass is jerky this is the smoothist Stop-Motion Animation u can get & it still holds up against CGI today. Stop-Motion is better then CGI. Harryhausen is the master!

[umbungi]

If you see this in "real time " the octopus is does not appear "jerky" and in fact is quite impressive. Fans of effectsman Ray Harryhausenhold his work in high esteem. He did these films on a very low budget and achieved quite a bit of spectacle as you can see here. Trust me..if you were a kid in the 1950's you felt like you got your moneys worth. And you did. Can't,and shouldn't, compare this to current effect's.

[MawBTS]

This was cool for its time. Adjusted for inflation it probably cost many more times to make than the computer-generated kraken in Pirates 2.

[Cool2BCeltic]

Typically cheesy 1950s monster flick. San Francisco is attacked by a very stiff and jerky giant rubber octopus. If you compare this with the kraken in Pirates of the Carribean you can see how effects have progressed in half a century. The cries that the octopus makes when it gets hit by the flame throwers are suspiciously elephant-like. The running people don't look as though they're quite running for their lives.
