Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Behemoth, the Sea Monster as it is called in the United Kingdom or The Giant Behemoth in the United States is a 1959 American-British science-fiction B-movie directed by Douglas Hickow and Eugène Lourié, starring Gene Evans and André Morell.Originally a story about an amorphous blob of radiation, the script was changed at the distributor’s insistence to a pastiche of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, though elements of original concepts remains in the early parts of the film and the titular monster’s nuclear breathing power. One remnant of the blob plot remains when a character finds a glowing blob of radioactive protoplasm on the beach.Basically, the movie’s about the resurrection of a dormant dinosaur called the Paleosaurus caused by the dumping of radioactive waste in the ocean by the marines, the dangerous blobs of radiation giving said monster the power to project electric shocks and radioactive beams. After said behemoth terrorizes the English coast, the realization of destroying the creature with conventional weaponry would spread a dangerous amount of radioactive contamination over the entire country thus preventing them from attacking the monster as it threatens London.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff"

comment
Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff": The title suggests that the monster is based on the Behemoth. It actually looks more like a different Biblical monster, the Leviathan.

Advertised Extra: Jean's actress gets rather substantial billing despite her tiny role. Ditto John.

Artistic License – Paleontology: There is an actual genus called Palaeosaurus, but it's indeterminate because it's only known from a couple of teeth. The Paleosaurus in this movie, however, is an entirely fictional dinosaur.

Body Horror: The tumors and radiation burns on the people hit with the Paleosaurus' Death Ray are pretty nasty, even if they do just look like they smeared the actors with lumpy oatmeal.
