    One of the things I love yet hate about how Ray Harryhausen animates his monsters, is that you actually feel what the creature is feeling, and you actually route for them, but then it's almost painful to see the creatures roar in agony as they get killed but it's so entertaining you can't look away. I think that definitely is an art in and if itself.

      In reality, an elephant with long tusks can impale other animals like a giant fork and kill them.
      Only chance is if the alosaurus is smart enough to attack from the rear or side and bite its neck while avoiding the front of the elephant, which is unlikely - they have reptile brains.

      I know, in real life if we were able to bring back an allosaurus, I don't think even a mature, African bull elephant with enormous tusks would dare go up against one of those beasts. It would probably charge into a herd of elephants and pick off whatever one it wanted to eat. Not even a pride of lions would dare go up against an allosaurus.

      Travis Jackson You are undoubtedly correct. I agree with you 100% regarding the mental imbalance of circus elephants and their anger as a result of years of abuse and enslavement, but don't intellectualize this so much. It's a dumb movie and I doubt that the script writers were thinking about mistreated, neurotic elephants in circuses, especially since this movie is made years before the founding of PETA and other animal welfare organizations that have brought the abuse of circus elephants to light. They just wanted a gratuitous fight scene and didn't know how else to throw it in. LOL. By the way, not too trash this movie, it is what it is and it's entertaining in its way, listen to the elephant sounds. It sounds like a man trying to imitate an elephant! You know, doing elephant noises like kids do when they want to imitate different animals! LOL. They couldn't even get a real elephant soundtrack? LOL.

NYEEH I like it back in mah day, as you wave your cane angrily) would say infinity war. You see as technology and society progress, old shit becomes relics of an ancient past. Although I will say I love henry hausen's monster movies, clay animation takes alot more time and effort than CGI I will concede in that aspect. But clayanimation is inefficient and looks worse than what high budget animated cgi movies can accomplish nowadays.

    The scene was surprisingly realistic. Well, aside from the outdated allosaurus of course. Here we see the allosaurus trying to take down the elephant by making large bites to vital areas such as the back and legs before biting the neck, which is believed to be how allosaurus would hunt other large dinosaurs. Due to having a weak bite force in comparison to the size of its body, It used its sharp teeth to tear flesh until its prey weakness from blood loss, then going for the kill.
    Same goes for the elephant. It was an elephant that was more than likely raised all its life in captivity, so chances are, it would have no experience in fighting. Things would've been different if it was a wild elephant, which would better hold it's own against a dinosaur this size.

      I don't know. I think the stop-motion animation and the personality that Ray Harryhausen gave Gwangi helped him feel unique as a Dinosaur character. If he was portrayed using modern CGI and practical effects and with a more modernized anatomy, there might no longer be anything to separate Gwangi from every other theropod character we have already seen in many other movies, like Rexy from "Jurassic Park" or the Vastatosaurus Rex from the King Kong remake.

      Well there actually could be. For one, make him a different species of theropod that usually in the limelight, yet not too far from the original representation and not too new to separate from the flagships to alienate the audience (possible candidates: Keep as allosaurus or change to Albertosaurus, Saurophaganax, Acrocanthosaurus, Torvosaurus, Daspletosaurus, or Gorgosaurus). Then, give him something to stand out from the crowd design-wise, or emphasize a part of the body in the design, like head crests, feathers, quills, osteoderms, etc. Finally, develop expression to display emotion and personality, like moving lips, moving eyes, and focus on facial expressions and body movements to portray its personality, and focus on developing that personality along side the human characters to provide emotional investment.

    In many ways, the elephant in 20 Million Miles to Earth comes across as more convincing -- maybe because the movie was in B&W -- of course, it's wonderfully animated, but there's something about the color and the texture of the model that's just not quite right.
    Obviously, we don't really quite know what an allosaurus looks like -- but we've all seen elephants, either at zoos or on TV -- so there's just no room for error in depicting them.
    And by the way -- I love this movie, despite its flaws -- which are many -- it's still awesome.

      @@dino._.con1232 It's true that they used a real elephant for a number of the shots in 20 million miles to earth -- but of course there are quite a few shots with a stop motion elephant -- every shot where the ymir and the elephant directly interact. But that's also worth noting - that the real elephant and the stop motion elephant intercut really well - something that's often a problem with stop motion (at least in its early days).

      @lovespringfreshness 5 лет назад +4

      tomtalker2000 No matter how deadly a full-testosteroned Elephant is, it is still outmatched by something like a Tyrannosaurus. The absolute largest Elephants get up to around 7 tons max. A dinosaur like a T-Rex for example gets up to 16 tons. That's more than _double_ that of an elephant. Not to mention the Tyrannosaur has the strongest bite of any animal to ever walk the Earth at a whopping 6-8 ton bite-pressure full of serrated teeth the size of hippo tusks. Not only that, but the Elephant would have a hard time penetrating even if it had long hard tusks because T-Rex had a scaly tough hide estimated to be around 8cm thick. The dinosaur also has a height advantage of 5ft standing at around an average of 16ft tall vs an 11ft tall Elephant, so it might even be able to whip its head down and bite the Elephant's skull. (Which is game over for the Proboscidean). And besides, there were _MUCH_ tougher herbivorous dinosaurs such as a 14 ton Triceratops or an 8 ton Ankylosaurus.

    I believe Valley was loosely based on a 1950s unused idea.
    VALLEY OF THE MIST was another Willis O'Brien project that put humanity in contact with dinosaurs . This time , a boy hunts down a giant lizard in a hidden valley . He intends to trade it for his prized bull , which has been sold by his father . Originally titled Emilio and Guloso , then El Toro Estrella ( The Star Bull ) , screenwriter William " Bill " Lasky created a new screenplay from O'Brien's treatment and gave it a new title : Valley of the Mist . Bill hoped to get his father , the legendary Jesse L. Lasky , founder of Paramount Pictures , to green - light the picture . The film was to have been shot in Mexico , in full Technicolor . However , no studio would agree to finance a movie that involved so much special effects animation after the perceived overspend on Mighty Joe Young . This was a film that Ray would undoubtedly have worked on had it gone ahead.

Very different from the usual monster movie issue of a monster going after just one person when they already took down a larger meal.

    Gwangi is one of my favourite Ray Harryhausen monsters.

    Gwangi is an Allorannosaurus Rex, a hybrid of T-rex and Allosaurus

      If you look closely, it's actually still breathing and alive when Gwangi leaves it.

    There should be a reference to this in the new Jurassic World movie. An Allosaurus fighting an elephant. Thst would be a nice homage to this classic!

      Biosyn calls their allosaurus Gwangi and geneticly beefed it up and made the poor thing fight before he just loses it and goes berserk on everybody,and rexy shows up and joins in on the chaos,not taking out Gwangi.

    I feel bad for both Gwangi and the elephant. I mean both are animals that were turned into attractions by humans who want money.
    Gwangi was just minding his own business out in the wild until he was caught. In this scene, you see Gwangi back up once the elephant charged before he attacked. Gwangi was trying to flee until he was forced to fight the elephant.
    At the same time, the elephant also had nowhere else to go and showed immense aggression meaning that it was most likely a male elephant since they are full of testosterone(I might be wrong and this may be a female elephant but elephants in general CAN be very hostile especially when stressed).

    Yeah, the elephant sound effects sounded much better in 20 million miles to earth.
