I love how that even if the Morlock are a predator species, they are so used to their pray never putting up a fight and as a result when they finally do ,they get their asses handed to them so easily
I think it's because their nocturnal/troglodyte lifestyle has made them weaker than a 20th century human. They might have good senses for the dark, but they don't have physical prowess to contend with something as strong or stronger than themselves.
@robwalsh9843 That was the explanation in the book. The time traveler's genetic make up gave him a physical advantage over the Morlocks. The danger came from the large numbers
My dad was watching this on the tv once when I was a young child and it scarred me for so long, and whenever I would ask him what those blue monsters were he never knew and could never remember what movie he'd been watching. I've searched the internet for 'blue monsters' for years and am only just now finding out now aged 24 what these creatures who haunted my dreams were!!
Back in 1997, my mother rented this movie (I was 10 and not scared). After nearly 15 years passed, I thought this movie was a fantasy until an old roommate watched this on an early Saturday morning. I'm Glad to know there's younger people like you who appreciate the classics like I do
@@lilmane1070 I was on Twitter and someone happened to reply to whatever the thread was about with a still of the Morlocks!! Couldn't believe my eyes but I reverse image searched and found this, I was so happy to have come across it!
Monsters, shmonsters! They are human beings - our descendants thousands of years from today, even if they do just look kind of like fat guy actors in makeup and wigs.
Man! I can’t believe that this is the same movie we saw, now it’s coming back to me. When we were kids we called them “morons”, hahaha! I haven’t seen hide nor hair of this for near a half century
An incredibly impressive adventure for a kid in 1960. Extremely original in its time and the always-believable Rod Taylor was an action hero with heart.
These things scared the shit outta me as a kid. For a film that came out in 1960, this was masterfully done, holds up very well even sixty two years later.
this scene sacred me as a kid, I pictured myself in this same situation and wishing to just fine my time machine and get back home asap so that I could wake up from this nightmare
He's a scientist as well, a rich privileged one. Most of his peers would have never been in a fight their whole lives. The closest modern equivalent would be Steve Jobs or Elon Musk or something.
Famous fight scene from the 1960 Classic Science Fiction Film,"The Time Machine". I was 11 years old at the time, and was very impressed with the special effects, and the gruesome make-up of the Morlocks with their luminous eyes. I was fortunate to have been a child during the 1950's," watching such Science Fiction Classics such as "The War Of The Worlds","Forbidden Planet","This Island Earth","20,000 Leagues Under The Sea","20 Million Miles To Earth",and "Journey To The Center Of The Earth".
More like, he was a well-balanced human. Handsome and compassionate, but also able to think, fight, and stand up for what was right. The Eloi were basically too stupid and effeminate to be worth saving, watching how they behave in this movie.
@@stevepalpatine2828 The Morlocks are the ultimate evolution of a Mankind that has adopted right-wing ideology. And the leftists kicked their ugly asses and inherited the Earth. Just like in WWII.
@@chainsaw5302 Because after a while some things begin to look dated and become more campy than scary. Its genuinely impressive to produce something that holds up well for decades.
@@SStupendous It's not the "plague" it's the people in power who keep overhyping it, telling everyone to get it, while they don't; they give out fake vids of them taking it.
It's funny how throughout his time in 802,701, George still had the crystalline lever in his pocket and didn't lose it during his fight with the Morlocks.
I find it hilarious that a science nerd is fighting beastly monsters bare handed, about ten at time and winning right up until the end when he needs a small amount of help.
While it is a very fun scene, it's also worth noting that this is the clearest example of how the movie uses classic 50's cheese spectacle to make another romantic swashbuckling epic as opposed to the actual book. In the novel, the future and these two species are Wells's vision of what would happen if the rising gap between the rich and the poor increased and serious class issues weren't recognized. The Eloi are so spoiled and obsessed with decedent life style that they lose all their humanity and any sense of caring for their own community as a shared whole, and the Morlocks have been screwed over and so ostracized from their ruling class that they evolved into a new species and gave up on expecting their relatives to do anything for them. Turning to viewing them as food in order to survive below the wealthy world (literally and metaphorically.) H.G. Wells himself was a committed socialist and that reflected in a lot of his writing. War of the Worlds was a novel about Martians invading, stealing resources from, and decimating an entire land they have no interest in aside from conquering it from their own personal gain. Wells in that novel wanted people to read it, be shocked by what is going on, and see it as an awful thing that would happen, then turn around and go: "Okay, well then why is it okay when the British Empire does this to poorer nations?"
what is significant tho, is the perfect people, with blonde hair and. young. classic anti-fascist novels from around this era ( when book was published)
True childhood memory: In 1970s watching 1960 The Time Machine movie as a kid in a theater. At about 3:14 in this clip someone next to me cupped his hands and yelled -He punched his lights out! -Theater full of kids laughed...
This is still a thrilling sequence, and it's due to propulsive music, eerie lighting, sound effects (echoes, screams, roars), and NO extraneous dialogue to give a star his or her 'moment' - every word uttered is calculated to propel action. Even the judicious editing allows us to drink in the terrific set and stunt coordination instead of a bunch of chopped up images.
Like all good humans, Boris is a perfect mix of Eloi and Morlocks. Balance. The Eloi were too stupid and effeminate to be worth saving, watching how they behave in this movie.
There is always a misconception about the Morlocks. "The Morlocks are cannibals" Technically they aren't. The Morlocks are not eating other Morlocks. They are eating Eloi. A completely separate species.
I mean the Eloi and Morlocks were all human at one time. I think during a future war, some humans went underground to be safe and some stayed above ground and then many many years passed by to what it is in the movie.
Eh depends how you look at it, they are both descended/evolved from humans. It's like a chimp eating another species of chimp or even a human eating a monkey, not really cannibalism I guess but too close for comfort. But then again, would a bird eating a bird count? If a seagull eats a pigeon is that cannibalism? What about a tiger eating a lion? Also the Morlocks and Eloi though different on the outside probably have identical organs. Who knows, genetically it might be more like a white person eating a black person, physical differences but both human.
As cheesy as the special effects may have been in 1960, this is still the original and most true to the book. I tend to be annoyed when someone decides that a remake is necessary, even 60 years later.
Did anyone else notice the irony that George is compelled to travel to a different era because he is disillusioned by the war and violence of his time, only to teach and rouse the Eloi to war and violence against the Morlocks in a distant future.
The original cut of this video had a fantastic whip fight that lasted 3 minutes. One of the best action scenes ever done on film, and apparently, and regrettably, too "aggressive" for modern review audiences.
Has anyone wondered what the Morlocks were thinking in this scene? They likely saw the Human here as an oddly dressed Eloi stealing their food source from them and engaging in hostile actions against him, I'd be angry too in their situation and would seek to stop him one way or another.
I think they would recognise he was no Eloi. The Eloi were basically cattle to them, dumbed down and subservient, but the Morlocks had retained some degree of intelligence to maintain their underground forges and machinery, and also the produce food for the Eloi who they farmed. They stole the Travellers Machine, remember, I think they knew he was different, he was twice the size and many times stronger than an Eloi, and had access to tech they didnt know the use of, even if they recognized it was advanced. I'm not sure what they thought he was, as the Morlovks by this point had no natural predators or competitors, but they knew he was a threat, and different, and had to be stopped.
That is true. I reckon it is because their bones lack calcium and vitamins that keep them strong seeing the Morlocks had lived underground for thousands of years. When the Morlock was hit in the back, a few of it's vertebra may have broke causing it to arch back in pain and when it got pushed against a rock and dies, the cause of death may have been it's back ribs breaking from the impact and then puncturing the lungs causing them to fill with blood which explains the blood coming out of the Morlock's mouth.
To be fair, the back of the skull is one of the weakest parts of a human skull other than the temples: getting thrown back against an uneven rock surface would concentrate the impact to a small area, easily causing a fracture and damage the brain and spinal cord, though probably not enough to cause external bleeding.
It's strange, looking now I don't know how I got scared of this. I remember being absolutely terrified of these when I watched this movie in the late 90s with my dad..
Fun Fact: There are definitely some similarities between the Morlocks from *The Time Machine* and the White Walkers from *Game of Thrones*. Here's a breakdown: **Similarities:** * **Subterranean Dwellers:** Both the Morlocks and the White Walkers reside underground. The Morlocks live in a network of tunnels beneath the surface world, while the White Walkers inhabit the Lands of Always Winter, a region far north of Westeros. * **Nocturnal:** Both creatures are primarily active at night. The Morlocks avoid the sunlight that the Eloi live in, and the White Walkers are weakened by it. * **Predatory:** Both the Morlocks and the White Walkers pose a threat to humans. The Morlocks capture and presumably eat the Eloi, while the White Walkers reanimate the dead as wights to bolster their army. **Differences:** * **Motivation:** The Morlocks' dependence on the Eloi as a food source drives their predatory behavior. The White Walkers, however, seem driven by a desire to extinguish all life in Westeros. * **Intelligence:** The Morlocks are depicted as somewhat intelligent, capable of operating machinery and living in a rudimentary society. The White Walkers are portrayed as intelligent but mostly focused on destruction. **Origin Story:** * **Morlocks:** In *The Time Machine*, the Morlocks are a descendant of the working class in the far future who have adapted to their underground environment. * **White Walkers:** The origins of the White Walkers in *Game of Thrones* are shrouded in mystery. Legends suggest they were created by the Children of the Forest to combat humans, but their true purpose remains unclear. Overall, both creatures share some characteristics of being subterranean, nocturnal predators, but their motivations and intelligence levels differ. The Morlocks are driven by a need for food, while the White Walkers seem to have a more complex and destructive agenda.
Once the Time Traveler set the lair of the morlocks on fire, that’s when I said. “Kill them all!!” If I were in their layer, I would have a number of weapons with me such as flashlights 🔦, a flamethrower, and a chainsaw and start a killing rampage!!
And they only charged $34.95 🙄 for the service not including the 9.95 time machine displacement fee! Still a good deal no matter what Era you come from.
I have an idea... and follow me here... but, what if he, ya know, used his machine that travels through time to go to a point prior to his gf being kidnapped?
Morlock : it's time to eat boys Morlock #2 yummy human meat and hey what's that human doing Morlock : nevermind him let's dig in boys arrrggh bright light
Morlocks standing waiting to be punched , a match lights up like magnesium , beautiful hairstyles and makeup from primitive times , and lets all escape through a manhole to the ''Planet Of The Apes Movie Set '' , what laughs while drinking a stubby .
Russell Garcia's wonderful music! I tracked him down in New Zealand (via the internet) a few years before he died to tell him how much I loved his score to this film. Unfortunately he was highly offended when I asked him if in the Morlock battle scene scene, he was alluding to Stravinsky's "infernal Dance" from his ballet The Firebird. (check it out: ruclips.net/video/jmRU6cJeVDs/видео.html)
For me, the 2002 remake was never this terrifying. That being said, there were a few things that I did like about it. The explanation of the time paradox (inventing a Time Machine to undo the reason you invented it), the sequence of watching the earth erode, and build back over time, and the conversations with AI that remembers everything over 800,000 years always stand out for me. That being said, the morlocks were a big disappointment. For me, they just were never as scary as the originals that gave me nightmares as a kid.
@@JohnnyHandsometm I agree. After thousands of years of living in darkness, their eyes have adjusted and evolved so they can see in the dark although it does make their eyes very sensitive to any form of light. Even a light from a small flame of a match would be like staring into the sun for the Morlocks.
And not to mention, they weren’t used to physical resistance of any kind as the Eloi lost the ability to make fire and any other possible threats to the Morlocks apparently went extinct.
Why are Morlocks so weak than one punch kills them? If that is the case, George should just take the Eloi to the woods, carve out a couple of baseball bats, and then return and obliterate the entire Morlock colony in short order.
To be fair, they re being punched by Rod Taylor, who was a fighting beast IRL. He once knocked out Jim Brown in a fight at the Playboy Mansion and broke three ribs of true life tough guy and pro boxer William Smith after Smith broke Taylor's nose in the fight scene at the end of their movie "Darker Than Amber". Look how he grabs and tosses that 200 pound Morlock in this scene. The guy had uncanny strength.
Sunlight gives our bones Vitamin D, which strengthens our bones. Since the Morlocks have been underground, possibly since birth, their bones and muscles maybe bulky but they're still fragile
Their bones possibly lack in calcium as well and the impact on the rock may have caused the Morlock's ribs in it's back to break, puncturing it's lungs which then filled with blood which does explain the blood coming out of it's mouth.
A bit of 'easter egg' trivia here... Look closely at the middle finger of Rod Taylor's right hand as he holds Weena at 0:09 and then, lights the match at 00:14 ... What do you see? I didn't know that they had those things in Victorian England!
If you look closely at the dead morlock at 3:23 you see the actor who played it move his leg so the eloi can run pass
Lol you're right
Lol I never noticed that!
rigor mortis maybe?? its leg was wide but after slowing dying the leg stiffens and comes closer to the body.
now that's a well disciplined Morlock
My - how *_thoughtful_* of it!
I love how that even if the Morlock are a predator species, they are so used to their pray never putting up a fight and as a result when they finally do ,they get their asses handed to them so easily

* **White Walkers:** The origins of the White Walkers in *Game of Thrones* are shrouded in mystery. Legends suggest they were created by the Children of the Forest to combat humans, but their true purpose remains unclear.
Overall, both creatures share some characteristics of being subterranean, nocturnal predators, but their motivations and intelligence levels differ. The Morlocks are driven by a need for food, while the White Walkers seem to have a more complex and destructive agenda.
Once the Time Traveler set the lair of the morlocks on fire, that’s when I said. “Kill them all!!” If I were in their layer, I would have a number of weapons with me such as flashlights 🔦, a flamethrower, and a chainsaw and start a killing rampage!!
this is truly the best version of the Time Machine !!!!😊
Big Bang Theory has Summoned me
Cap ‘n Crunch kidnapped the Morlocks and started his navy with them
In the book the morlocks repaired and oiled his time machine ...
With their blood....lol
Was her blouse soaked in paraffin? It caught fire almost immediately 😂
That's some next level WWE ish 😂😂😂
What a scrapper
When I Was Like 4-6 Years Old I Was Obsessed W/ This Movie Despite Me Being An '05 Kid Lmao
In the book the morlocks actually serviced and oiled his time machine ...
And they only charged $34.95 🙄 for the service not including the 9.95 time machine displacement fee! Still a good deal no matter what Era you come from.
Morlock's apparently explode when on fire too long.
This is what our Covid 19 world looks like today
Mandalorian Season3 Episode 2
True!
He couldve kicked even more ass with a flashlight
They should of used these sound effects for the zombies in black ops!!!!!!
Not gonna lie, those roars sound pretty awesome. And actually terrifying and beastly.
RIP Weena.
I love this film
Kato could take care of those moorlocks.
The morlocks were supposed to be quite weak and small when compared to contemporary humans.
So are the Eloi, they're meant to be as small as children.
I have an idea... and follow me here... but, what if he, ya know, used his machine that travels through time to go to a point prior to his gf being kidnapped?
Morlock : it's time to eat boys
Morlock #2 yummy human meat and hey what's that human doing
Morlock : nevermind him let's dig in boys arrrggh bright light
One Eloi had a spurt of masculinity and decided to beat the stih out of a Morlock.
Yvette Mimieux was 17 during the filming and was already married. Rod Taylor was 30.
An intrepid group of journalists arrive at The Boris Johnson family home to ask questions about the late night Police Call.
This one better then the remake
Good movie for its time.
Una película de gran contenido de la evolución del hombre taquillera en su tiempo la veo y la vuelvo ver
Morlocks standing waiting to be punched , a match lights up like magnesium , beautiful hairstyles and makeup from primitive times , and lets all escape through a manhole to the ''Planet Of The Apes Movie Set '' , what laughs while drinking a stubby .
Lol what is a stubby ?
@@lilmane1070 A small bottle of beer .
Great music.
Russell Garcia's wonderful music! I tracked him down in New Zealand (via the internet) a few years before he died to tell him how much I loved his score to this film. Unfortunately he was highly offended when I asked him if in the Morlock battle scene scene, he was alluding to Stravinsky's "infernal Dance" from his ballet The Firebird. (check it out: ruclips.net/video/jmRU6cJeVDs/видео.html)
For me, the 2002 remake was never this terrifying. That being said, there were a few things that I did like about it. The explanation of the time paradox (inventing a Time Machine to undo the reason you invented it), the sequence of watching the earth erode, and build back over time, and the conversations with AI that remembers everything over 800,000 years always stand out for me. That being said, the morlocks were a big disappointment. For me, they just were never as scary as the originals that gave me nightmares as a kid.
This is a real captain kirk vs lizard monster moment
Wouldn't that be interesting if the morlocks were actually an allegory for lizard people?
A monster is afraid of a match. Haha.
Penguin Fluffy More afraid of light of any kind because they became nocturnal for living in caves so long. They can’t go outside during the day.
@@JohnnyHandsometm I agree. After thousands of years of living in darkness, their eyes have adjusted and evolved so they can see in the dark although it does make their eyes very sensitive to any form of light. Even a light from a small flame of a match would be like staring into the sun for the Morlocks.
And not to mention, they weren’t used to physical resistance of any kind as the Eloi lost the ability to make fire and any other possible threats to the Morlocks apparently went extinct.
I swear he messed up and said, "get off the set". Right around 1:10
Do you hear it?
Nah I'm sure he says stairs
Those Morlocks always want more Lox!
Does anybody else notice that the Morlock on fire is clearly wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt?
Well they cant set a guy on fire with his bare skin lol
Brown Pride773 but they could have tried to make it less obvious...
Kyle LaGreca Chill mate, it was the 60’s, not 2000.
The morlocks were finally defeated and destroyed in 2012.
A phoenix race using their name reentered the fourth tier.
Kind of feels more like the book than the 2002 version, might have to check this out
Why are Morlocks so weak than one punch kills them? If that is the case, George should just take the Eloi to the woods, carve out a couple of baseball bats, and then return and obliterate the entire Morlock colony in short order.
Someone here proposed that it’s because their bones are extremely brittle from a 100% lack of vitamin D via sunligh
@@lilmane1070 That might be a decent answer to the question. But there are plenty of nocturnal and subterranean creatures that are strong.
@@YD-uq5fi yeah, personally I just chalk it up to “it’s a movie” lol
The fire did that for them
To be fair, they re being punched by Rod Taylor, who was a fighting beast IRL. He once knocked out Jim Brown in a fight at the Playboy Mansion and broke three ribs of true life tough guy and pro boxer William Smith after Smith broke Taylor's nose in the fight scene at the end of their movie "Darker Than Amber".
Look how he grabs and tosses that 200 pound Morlock in this scene. The guy had uncanny strength.
I don't mean to be mean but my neighbor walks like that and my coworker's hair is the same.
3:13 His back just got pushed into a rock and not even that hard, how'd he get internal bleeding from that?
Sunlight gives our bones Vitamin D, which strengthens our bones. Since the Morlocks have been underground, possibly since birth, their bones and muscles maybe bulky but they're still fragile
@@geoffwilliams4478 Good point!
Their bones possibly lack in calcium as well and the impact on the rock may have caused the Morlock's ribs in it's back to break, puncturing it's lungs which then filled with blood which does explain the blood coming out of it's mouth.
Morlocks are incels, it's why they are so easy to beat. The Time Traveler is a Chad.
And the Elois are simps.
A bit of 'easter egg' trivia here...
Look closely at the middle finger of Rod Taylor's right hand as he holds Weena at 0:09 and then, lights the match at 00:14 ... What do you see?
I didn't know that they had those things in Victorian England!
Yup, band aids were invented in 1920! Good catch!
The problem with Johnson Island is that there are just too many blue Boris Johnsons.
