Who gives a phuck? There's nothing good on cable TV anyways. You have the internet. You can find any show or film you want at your whim, unless you have a slow connection or limited internet access, in which case I apologize.

GORT was an absolute beast in the original. He was slower obviously, but he had a beam that disintegrated everything it touched. Toward the end of the film, Klaatu tells Helen Benson his concern about Gort saying "There's no limit to what he can do. He could destroy the Earth... If anything should happen to me you must go to Gort, you must say these words, 'Klaatu barada nikto', please repeat that."
Shortly after, Klaatu is shot and killed. While Klaatu's body is being put in a jail cell, Gort, knowing he has died, begins dissolving the thick polymor cube that now encases him; with his heat-ray he disintegrates the two night Army guards standing watch.
So original GORT was pretty damn powerful. It's odd how that film blows the new one out of the water not because it had better effects, but simply because it was a purer and more beautiful story. But that's besides the point. 50's GORT would be an awesome opponent for the destroyer.
