The navy vs the night monsters (1966) download torrent
The Seaman leaves shot again, and thankfully does not return for a third go of it. Meanwhile, bleeding hunks of exposition are served forth. Moreover, we learn of the only reason Spaulding has hung around this long: Nurse Nora, the aforementioned Blond Bomber.
Just then, horror strikes. This is Ens. Rutherford Chandler, as brought to the screen in the terrifying personage of Mr. Much like the audience, I might add.
After pathetically failing to get his pet to roll over or bark or even wag his tail, Chandler ineffectively just admits defeat.
Just then, matron scientist Marie and aforementioned brunette Nurse Diane stroll by. The killer plants come in a distant third. Therefore they go over and drive Chandler into a most mild and unfunny tizzy with implication and innuendo regarding his behavior the previous evening.
In a minimally dressed office with flashing red lighting? Chandler takes this report and then yay! We cut to an establishing shot of a flight tower, one with the usual glass-enclosed topside control center. Then we now cut to a set that pretty obviously itself is supposed to represent the control center interior. This, to a sizable lack of surprise on my part, proved not to even remotely match the exterior stock footage seen seconds ago either.
Sadly, Chandler can be found here, too. He then phones this luminary. We cut to a desk sign, one that seriously looks like a small piece of slate with the name written on it in chalk, identifying this as the office of one LT.
This is Our Hero, and apparently the script assigned him his name solely as to provide Odious Comic Relief Chandler with a running gag.
Get it? Meanwhile, we cut to the infirmary, where Spaulding has tracked down Nora. Hey, since Nora is played by Mamie Van Doren, maybe this should be called the infir-mammary. The two arrive at the mess hall and enter to get some coffee. He enters without knocking, which seems a protocol violation, especially since Brown is currently the base CO.
Grabbing a rolled-up map how did he know what it was a map of? What on earth are they talking about? On the plane, co-pilot Stevens is alone in the cockpit, when Miller returns from checking out things in back. Stevens reports that they are cleared to land at Gow, and they begin their descent. How many places could he be? Oddly, they actually refrain from putting in a music sting there. He sends Stevens back to fetch him, and radio in to Gow.
The scientists run back, and then everyone tumbles out, including a bloodied and insane-looking Chief. Shrugging them off, the Chief throws open the outside hatch and jumps to his death, taking one of the scientists with him. Downside, the Gow radio operator notes that the R4D is seriously off course. Meanwhile, panic has set in on the plane, for reasons yet unseen, as the scientists try to fight their way into the cockpit.
The radio operator hears shouting and shots being fired before the transmission cuts off. The operator alerts the Tower, and they try to contact the plane. Brown is alerted and heads off, and everyone is put on emergency standby.
Their follows a patently budget-impaired attempt to suggest an imminent crash. Moreover, it must be said that a plane crash is kind of a dramatic incident, and footage of a few speeding vehicles and such that actually looks to have been shot for this film, it seems like that they spent a good portion of their meager budget here.
However, it also highlights the artificiality of the rest of the picture, which was all shot on soundstages. Stuff like that makes an era in which you could plunk down a quarter and spend an afternoon watching junk like Navy vs. Emergency vehicles approach the plane, and we see that the propellers are fouled up with thick vines of some sort. Brown and Chandler arrive on the scene and jump in through the still open side hatch, which from some reason now opens up into the cargo area. They find the main section of the plane empty, except for the crated penguins and plant specimens.
Chandler steps towards the cockpit and calls Brown to join him, and then we jump to a shock cut of the pilot, who is expressionlessly staring forward into space. We cut to Nora hooking up an I. Brown, to whom the importance of the scientists and their mission was especially emphasized, is needless to say eager to learn what the hell happened on the plane. Unfortunately, Miller continues to be completely unresponsive.
Brown stalks out in frustration, and in intercepted by Spaulding in the mess hall. He wants Brown to order him up transport off the island, since his contract ran out the day before. Aside from that, the shattered R4D is currently blocking their one runway.
Spaulding was on the scene, actually, and would know that. So this is really just a way to let us in the audience know that the island is for the present cut off from the rest of the world. Brown and Chandler are also on the scene, trying to figure things out.
Meanwhile, Beecham sees something leaking under a tarp, and discovers a slimy residue of some sort. He calls Brown over to take a look. Meanwhile, they draw our attention to an empty penguin crate with one side all smashed off. Bum bum bum. Got me. Anyway, the two are bewildered at the fact that a gun had been emptied in such a tight space and yet no traces of blood are evident. Suddenly we cut away to stock footage of a major Naval base, and then into the office of Admiral Knight.
More on that later. I should note that the guy playing the Admiral was presumably picked for his deep, stentorian voice, although his nearly robotic lack of inflection as he delivers his lines remains a source of hilarity throughout.
From the discussion that follows, that wire must have been jammed packed with info, although Simpson seems to absorb its contents with a glance. The admiral orders them to verify the message.
Simpson urges him to take the message seriously. What are you, a moron? The penguins are to be stored in the warehouse too.
Brown and Chandler, apparently joined at the hip, show up for a report. In any case, presumably to approximate the conditions they came from, Beecham suggests planting them around the Gow Island hot springs. Still, with one more, er, mystery on hand, he decides to play it safe and post a hour guard around the now-emptied plane.
Well, that at least makes sense. Back in the infirmary, Diane and Nora are tending to the still apparently comatose Miller. Diane is freaked out by his open, unfocused staring eyes, though. He just stares forward with no visible response at all. Nora sends Diane off to get a cup of joe and calm down.
As she leaves, Spaulding, wearing an eye-scalding red cardigan sweater, enters the room. Spaulding walks over to Nora and immediately begins, well, continues, acting like a dickhead. Actually, Miller does ultimately prove a menace, so Spaulding is at least partly right. Spaulding immediately tries to make her, but she rebuffs him. Plus, oh, yeah, we saw him proposing marriage to her earlier.
The entire situation could have been clarified a bit more. Instead, she ignores his interest and refers again to her lack of concern over Miller. This starts another argument about Brown. And again, maybe Nora should just tell Spaulding to his face that she has no interest in him. Again, have they been going out? Looked at objectively, Nora seems to be stringing him along, so he actually has a bit of an excuse for acting the way he does.
Cut to that night. A guard is pacing outside the plane. Inside, a nervous Diane sits in the darkened infirmary room, watching over Miller. Still freaked out by his continuing stare, she goes and opens the door to the hallway, which allows her to hear reassuring murmurs from the mess hall.
Then she closes the door again. Oops, sorry. Hubba, hubba. Meanwhile, Brown and Nora are walking down the hallway a few feet away. Nora is wearing a too-tight blue sleeveless dress with white piping that mostly serves to emphasize her hips. Brown steps into his office. He also fails to turn on the lights; so maybe the power to the interior sets was faulty that day.
Nora follows and shuts the door behind her, that hussy. Or is she? Anyhoo, she leaves. She enters the darkened infirmary and somehow spots the unconscious Diane on the floor.
With her blouse ripped, we can actually see her bare shoulder. Out on the tarmac, the sentry hears noises in the dark. Suddenly, Miller again walks slowly out of the shadows, and stops for a second before launching another attack. Even so, after an exciting tussle—it must be exciting, given the crashing music—Miller is subdued with Ye Olde Punch to the Jaw.
Then a guy runs in and reports that something is moving around in the warehouse. Chandler then appears and reports the same thing. The group, with Beecham having attached himself somewhere alone the line, arrives outside the warehouse door.
Guns drawn, Brown and Chandler enter the building. Miraculously, when they enter the warehouse, and despite having a flashlight, Chandler reaches over to a switch and turns on the lights.
Maybe he should be the acting CO. In any case, the place looks mildly disheveled not to mention pretty small for a warehouse. Chandler points out a small trail of slime, like that found in the airplane.
Meanwhile, Brown does actually perceive something on his own. Good for you, sir! Bum bum bum! I guess the safe thing to do is just assume everything he says is a quip. Spaulding bursts into the room—which he previously was told was off-limits—and immediately begins to spout off. Perhaps to disguise this fact, Spaulding grabs the again comatose Miller and prepares to slug him one. This leads to a totally unexpected, never could have been predicted fistfight between him and Brown.
Not to guard the possibly homicidal Miller, however. Simpson returns to resume command. Brown again steps into his office to slump his shoulders and reflect on how hard stuff is. Chandler, without bothering to ask permission or anything, just wanders off.
I mean, seriously, can you imagine the paperwork? Plane crashing. Missing scientists. Warehouse trashed. Attacks on naval personnel. This movie would be scarier if it were called The Navy vs. Scratch, that, actually. What a life that guy has. This time he grabs the pooch when he finds it. He then pauses to look around at his dark, verdant surroundings. It would explain a lot. Then he turns around and returns to the base. Meanwhile, in the lab—we can tell from all the conical flasks filled with mysterious colored fluids—Beecham and Marie work into the night.
Peering into a microscope Science! Lots of people call lots of other people over in this movie. They exchange some comments to let us know that the corrosive liquid found earlier is all weird and stuff. She nearly jumps into Chandler and starts with fright. However, I should note that starting with fright upon finding Bobby Van in front of you is an entirely understandable reflex action.
It is less than credible because:. I think we better have a cigarette. Meanwhile, Diane leans up against a hut wall. She screams and her sweater begins smoking. Chandler must be a better kisser than I thought. But no, it turns out that some of the corrosive slime has gotten on the doorjamb somehow. He rushes her into the mess hall, rips open her blouse—that woman has definitely used up her uniform allowance today—and uses the sink to douse her shoulder.
Brown, hearing the ruckus, runs out. Good thing this building serves about every purpose on the base. He sends Chandler to have the wall hosed down and then escorts Diane to the infirmary. Back to the plane, which is still being guarded by that one sentry. Hearing something, he steps forward and peers into the darkness, and eventually sees something that inspires a look of horror. He screams in terror and…. Brown, meanwhile, is organizing a search—I guess—for the missing guard.
Marie, meanwhile, enthuses over this exotic greenery. Ah, the irony. It makes it a horrible scene. Our Heroes run over to investigate, and finds Marie standing over a disfigured manikin. Er, corpse. Back at the infirmary, the Doctor and Nora are attempting to rouse Miller by speaking to him. Stupid movie. After failing to bring him around, the Doctor uses a stethoscope before passing it to Nora. This base is way ultramodern! Later, Brown is meeting with the Doctor and Beecham to go over the autopsy report.
Weird, huh? Brown finally gets that it might be one of the missing scientists. Well, duh, jackass. Geez, what a moron. We cut to stock footage of a radar receiver, and then inside the supposed radio room. That night, Hollister is finishing stringing up the lights.
Good thing they had like a zillion extra light bulbs lying around. Actually, she could probably just step on it with her shoe. Spaulding shows up—he seems to have quite an array of various color cardigans—and apologizes for his behavior. Well, that justifies trying to beat up a guy in a coma. At this point Brown overhears the conversation, and breaks in. However, he sneers when Spaulding mentions UFOs. Spaulding presses forward with his next idea. Brown sneers at this, and Spaulding stalks off.
Why is he our protagonist again? Out in the jungle, we hear some eerie noises. In any case, we do now get a look at Our Beasties. Back at camp, Marie hears it barking and decides to venture into the jungle after it. So she plunges in several dozen yards, completely out of site of the base, and despite the scary sci-fi monster sound. Meanwhile, Brown steps outside just in time to see the strings of lights begin working, and soon the camp is a good, oh, nine percent brighter.
Hollister comes over to see what he thinks. Ah, nothing like good times with a couple of complete pigs. Hesitantly, she sets forward again, until she literally walks right into the tree monster, which grabs her with two arm-like appendages.
And when I say arm-like, I mean arm-like. Seconds later, an entire armed party follows from the mess hall. Even Spaulding follows, after scooping up a Molotov Cocktail or two.
Soon a nice fire is lighting things up nicely. Brown tells Chandler to cover him, and advances forward. Then Hollister joins him and Brown nearly shoot him. They continue forward.
Soon Brown and Hollister return. Well, that was an extensive search. Then Brown is called to the radar shack. Before he leaves, Chandler calls him Charlie Brown again. Man, that bit never gets old.
Amazingly, the radar watch has actually born results. Not doing anything particular with the information, Brown head back to the mess hall. Cross your fingers. As he stumbles forward, the electronic monster whine—rather like the one heard in The Creeping Terror, fittingly enough—begins sounding. And sure as shooting, Chandler manages to blunder close enough to the tree monster to get grabbed by it.
Usually those guys made it through the picture. Brown and Hollister again run forward, and somehow manage to immediately find the right spot. Nope, he just scoops it up into a sheave of papers and takes off with it. Meanwhile, the lights begin flickering and go out. Actually, they just seem to flicker, but I think the idea is that they go dead. All the wires have been torn loose. Only in that movie, the power system was targeted by an alien being from an advanced technological society.
The next morning, a reeling drunk? Brown appoints a new XO, but fails to tell him not to go into the jungle in the middle of the night. Meanwhile, the generator is reported to be irreparable. He also wants more Molotov Cocktails made up, and wood collected for bonfires. At this Spaulding pipes up and volunteers. Anthony Eisley Lt. Charles Brown as Lt. Charles Brown. Bobby Van Ens.

Trivia The entire cast and crew were on the point of walking out during production when they learned halfway through filming that the film was going to be released with the title The Navy vs. Goofs Dr Beecham opens the left side door of a double door to enter the mess with Marie and they are shown entering on the left from outside. The interior shot shows them entering the mess from the opposite door, the exterior right-side door. User reviews 26 Review.
Top review. Navy vs. The film has a pretty simple storyline as a Navy base has a plane land where only the pilot is alive and the rest of the crew have mysteriously disappeared. The only strange thing is this acid material that is all over the place.
While the doctors try to figure out what's going on, more deaths happen and sure enough it's because of those killer trees brought back from Antarctica.
The killer tree genre didn't deliver too many movies and you just need to watch this one to understand why. Again, this is no where near the worst movie ever made but at the same time I will call it one of the most disappointing because it really isn't as bad as what you've heard. I think the biggest problem with the film is that it really doesn't do anything with its silly and stupid plot.
Yes, the plot is incredibly dumb but so were the majority of stories that were used for our sci-fi and horror favorites. The filmmakers want us to believe that trees have come to life and can attack people.
Fine, do something with it.
