kennethfrankel This is a comment on "junk-monkey" 21 January 2008. At about 1:08 to 1:09 in the movie, the German scientist is telling the hero to get a flame thrower. The reviewer said the accent was too thick and he could not understand the next dialog. I believe the German scientist says -- Can you use a flame thrower? Then the key line is "We've got 2 in the storage room down the hall."I could not find a subtitle download for this movie. Allsubs.org seems to have gone into Neverneverland. My comment: Lots of the lab workers are doctors -- they would address each other as Jim or Susan, not Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones all the time. Yes, the first time they are introduced, and when outsiders are present, but not among themselves.
gavin6942 A security agent investigates sabotage and murder at a secret underground laboratory, home of two experimental robots.This film is the third episode in producer Ivan Tors' Office of Scientific Investigation (OSI) trilogy, following "The Magnetic Monster" and "Riders to the Stars". Best of the three? I say yes!William R. Weaver said, "The production moves steadily forward, keeping interest growing at a steady pace, and exciting the imagination without overstraining credulity." And, indeed, the film is based on science fact rather than being a complete fantasy, and incorporates many interesting ideas.
geg1043 Just picked it up on DVD. This is one of a very few movies that stuck with me from my childhood. Scared the crap out of me when I was 7 years old. Great flick...even now. Part of my childhood is remembered in black and white...from all those B grade science fiction and monster movies I saw on TV and in the theaters. Growing up in NYC, I would be able to catch some of them five to six times a week on Million Dollar Movie...every night at 8 PM and twice on Saturday afternoon. The movie title comes from the bible (Ezekiel 38) and has an end-of-the-world connotation. This flick is a must see for all of us who grew up in the 50'. The other movie that effected me was Spaceship XM-7 (Blood Rust). Gog was especially awesome for its interesting robots, Gog and Magog. They were short and rolled around on hidden wheel. Se this flick...it is a part of American history.
davebeedon I was perhaps seven or eight years old when I saw "Gog" in the 1950s. The story was only somewhat comprehensible to me; although I understood that the laboratory was some type of research facility, it was unclear to me why things were going haywire. The jet flying overhead was a mystery: where did it come from, who was in it, and what was it doing?The scientific devices were fun to watch, especially the "ray" weapon. Being unable to grasp the concept of sabotage, I didn't appreciate why the device was not operating as designed. But what had the biggest effect on me was the action of the robots. Their running amok in the lab scared me to death. Maybe I picked up on the terror of the lab's occupants.The combination of confusion and fear made watching the movie (on TV) unpleasant but fascinating. It would be fun to see "Gog" now, knowing what I do about the plot, the actors, and the Cold War era in which it was made.
