The Gorton's Fisherman Behemoth Conquers The Pirates?

Is that what it is? I thought it was a candid shot from "Colossal Man Vs. The Pirates" (AIP, 1959)

Yeah, that's cool, isn't it? I love seeing realistic miniatures suddenly put to scale by their relation to something familiar (like a person).

Some of the burning oil derrick shots from TULSA show up as color stock shots in WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. Fulton's daughter may have thought that MIGHT JOE YOUNG was just another gorilla suit movie, inferior to her father's Technicolor effects in TULSA (not t...

I've got TULSA and the effects, in color, are quite good. But next to MIGHTY JOE YOUNG?Maybe Fulton thought that the best effects were the most realistic? In that case TULSA would outshine JOE. There's one heckuva oil well field fire.&nb...

I see according to John Fulton's IMDb Mini Biography by Tom Weaver that Fulton also won an Oscar for the effects in THE BRIDGES AT TOKO-RI, bringing his total of wins to three (along with WONDER MAN and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS). Jim Aupperle

Fulton is a guy whose career goes back so far (silent days) that it's easy to forget that he wasn't an old man when he died; if he'd lived to a ripe old age, he coulda (and probably woulda) been invited to '80s and '90s horrorcons. Whe...

Tom, Thanks so much for that fascinating quote from John Fulton's daughter about her father and grandfather. I never saw TULSA and didn't realize that the Fultons both had films nominated in the same year so now I must try to find a copy of that...

John Fulton wasn't often uncredited; I guess he was sufficiently important at Universal that he got credit on nearly all his pics. From my interview with his daughter Joanne: << Dad's being nominated for TULSA created an intra-family probl...

IMBd's "People Working Together" search function says there do not seem to be any films which credit both Fitch and John P. Fulton--but then again, their careers were mostly well before effects workers received credit very often.

John P. Fulton was essential to the Universal monster movies. His incredible work on "The Invisible Man" alone deserved an Oscar! I do believe he eventually got recognition through "The Ten Commandments" but does anyone know of any o...
