This is where the internet shines. Watched this movie growing up as it was on TV in Australia a fair bit on weekends. Suddenly I had a flash in my memory on certain scenes but didn’t know the title or who was in it. Punched in “1960’s red Chinese tunnels movie” in Google and found this instantly! Screw all the hate and bile on the web, this is where it’s at..lol
Happened to see this at least twice on the British channel ITV on a weekday morning back in the seventies. I recall a break time at school shortly after when I and several other kids were playing Battle Beneath the Earth. I was moving my arms in a manner supposed to be like the tunnel making machine. One other kid said to me 'come on, we're playing Battle Beneath the Earth!'. I said 'I am. I'm the tunnel machine and you'd better get out the way!'. Oh the look on his face of sheer shocked surprise. It was a picture. The speed at which he then dashed off was also fun
This was shown every so often on TV in the 1970s - but guess it's now a period piece. Love the look and feel of it.
I saw it during the early eighties on a German channel years ago during a holiday. Couldn't find the English name of it and stumbled upon this version by accident. A great bit of memory.
I saw parts of it as a kid, when it premiered in '67, at a Drive-In my Dad managed. It really put the "zap" on my head back then.
I've been interested in weird/paranormal/science fiction ever since. 🖖👽Live Long & Prosper, earthlings.🛸🛸
@@lilblackduc7312the same for me!
This one was one of my high school days movies also saw it onboard the Navy ship USS Proteus AS19 during the Vietnam War... Funny thing is we submariners we were considered the enemy beneath the water... It was good to see it again, thanks for making it available...
You think it coincidence you bubbleheads with an enemy from below. Even more so that in Vietnam China and the VC where in tunnels under the ground just like this movie. Thanks for your service brother and Hooyah I was 2 Army - 6 Navy on the USS Peleliu LHA 5 & USS Long Beach CGN 9
Kind of had a 60's Man from Uncle feel to it. loved it!
This movie is so boring
NOOOO C4 / COVID IS BORING!!
I was getting a "dragnet' kinda vibe🤔 with a little"get smart" thrown in 🤗
It even had an UNCLE pan-scan.
Totally
Martin Benson the actor that plays General Chan Lu is the same actor that played Mr. Solo in Goldfinger. The gangster that was killed by getting shot by Oddjob then getting crushed into a cube wearing a Lincoln Contential.
I've been thinking about this movie for months now. Saw it many years ago. Was thinking how grand it would be to see it again. Never knew the name of this movie.
Wasva real good movie.

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED WESTERN FROM THE LATE 40'S TO THE MID 70'S AND ALSO SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES.
First time I watched this was as a Saturday afternoon TV movie. Caught it right at the "good part" - when they first see the Chinese laser borer. Took me decades to find a VHS copy. Thanks for uploading this!
BBC 2? lol
Absolutely, without a doubt a pure-dee classic CHEESEMEISTER-PIECE! I vaguely remember watching this at the Admiral Twin Drive -in as a little bitty, tow-headed tatertot...a bunch of 8-9 year old kiddos in the family station wagon, in the back watching shot gun! Bravo Zulu and pass the Cheese-whiz!
14:00 Went on to lead SHADO. Great acting. Never saw this before, thanks.
Hi, yes, Ed Bishop pops up everywhere in films like this with his natural dark hair, he never really got the credit or the opportunity to do more. I believe 'Doppelgänger' (1969) & 'UFO' 1970 in particular as Commander Straker in command of S.H.A.D.O. (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) as per your post were his best moments, kind regards.
@@MrSlitskirts What I never knew about it was a British Film!! Got most of the UK supply of Rent-a-Yanks in it.
Cheese popcorn with a pop. Add butter with this movie and it is a great movie to watch on a holiday night.
Thanks for this lost classic. Of course the Chinese are involved, I was in Vietnam in 1969, China was supplying the North Vietnamese with weapons the year I was in Vietnam.
Y los EE UU suministraron armas a los talibanes durante años a su amigo Bin Laden hasta que les hizo el trabajo sucio en Afganistán contra los rusos,ellos crearon el monstruo y el les castigó con el 11 s . EEUU China Rusia se repartirán el mundo . Todos los tiranos se llevan bien entre ellos 😂😂
Wow groovy movie Man I Love 1960s & late 1950s Sci fi cinema. Very entertaining
SMOKING, IT WAS PART OF EVERY DAY LIFE FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE!!!
The computers of that day 1967, cant do what the cell phone in your hands can do today.
Don't forget about this same time they were working on the TV show star track.
Star track lived 50+ years. No one remembers this little gem of a movie.
I was five when we saw the film at a drive in theater. I remember the soldiers disarming the bombs,... and then I remember waking up in my bed my sister put me in. Not remembering the name of the movie I wanted to see it again to see how it ends.
Finally, I get to see the movie I missed as a kid. Awesome...
Like China is gonna build a tunnel to America. Hope they have good contractors.
Wow , the Chinese use Kubelwagons painted yellow.
@@johnbockelie3899 You noticed !
Almost looked like Afrika Korps tan paint !
...and how can one ever forget that classic nuke shot at the end, fading into the sunset, to the sound of the 60s-era bongo drums!
I really should stop watching old movies that I saw as a kid and thought were great and just keep the memories.
It's still a good movie; you tend to notice more adult things when you get older. I noticed the the cup size of the geologist Mrs. Hawaii... And that all the Chinese characters weren't actually Chinese.
I still have fun every time I watch it!
I watched battle beneath the Earth in the late sixties this is a cool movie i liked it very much i have not seen this movie in over 50yrs
*Always enjoyed Kerwin Matthews in anything he acted in. He and Guy Williams both made their roles so believable.*
Chinese driving Kubelwagons.
@@johnbockelie3899 Actually, they were the VW Thing. A remake of the Kubelwagon
@@OdeeOz I looked up the year the movie was made. Google said it was 1967. The Thing didn't come out until the 1970's. So they probably doctored up some Kubelwagons that were used for WW2 movies.
I remember The Thing , in the 70's my brother and I used to comment about that the Volkswagon company were using WW2 plans for their new cars.
@@johnbockelie3899 The Thing wasn't brought to the USA until the 70's for public purchase. My cousin in Germany sent my dad one in 68.
@@OdeeOz I'm glad you told me.
I only remember the Thing from the 1970's when everyone wanted a smaller car to save on gas. I noticed the Thing looked like a modified Kubelwagon from WW2. I was about 11 or 12 when I saw my first one, probably 71, or 1972.
I remember being 8 yrs old being sick with a fever and watching this late night television in 1970s. I never forgot it. Thank you!
I'm really amazed how many people have viewed at least part of this film already almost 11,000 since it was released on TH-cam this morning.
I'm 61 now, but I think this movie came out back when I was probably in 4th grade.
I love the way we Brits tried to make big idea movies for the American market, usually with a past his prime Hollywood B lister. However, this is a brilliant upload, loaded with cheese, paranoia, contemporary racism, and lots of rather unconvincing accents. Wonderful stuff- and the location shots pretending to be California are a scream. Thanks very much for uploading this
This movie had me hooked from the beginning; the Music & Hawk etc !
First saw over 40 years ago - still a very enjoyable story. Thanks
I liked the mustang😍
I cannot believe I have never seen this! Nor heard of it. Kool old movie. Thank you for the upload.
I remember seeing this in the theater as a Saturday & Sunday matinee. The theater always had cheesy science fiction & fantasy movies on weekend afternoons.
This movie, Journey to the 7th Planet, The Green Slime, King Kong VS Godzilla, 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Valley of Gwangi, Project X, 5 million Years to Earth, great times & memories.
Jehovah is that a trick question komrade?
Our theater mostly had Bond films rolling on a Saturday matinee...this is where we learned "sex education"...little did our moms know cause we all just walked to the local theater...Lol!
@@gemjourney5210 I bunked in underage to see Escape From New York does that count?
Yes it was great times and fond memories. A lot of these films are on dvd and Blu-Ray to be enjoyed again and again.
@@gemjourney5210 I remember those in the summer in the late 60's early 70's. Either a double feature of Dr No and From Russia With Love or Thunderball and You only live Twice.
For some reason, Goldfinger never seemed to make the playlist.... I'm thinking because of the name Pussy Galore.
I would prefer it if they were big alien ants causing this havoc 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
You want the movie “Them!”
@@joeykonyha2414 I just going to say you want that movie it's already made but you beat me to it
Ah, my friend, but then you would've missed the rare, hybrid German-Chinese-General species.
Hahaha 😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺greetings from Australia! ❤❤😊
I thought it was big alien ants? (the Chinese 🙄)
My family & I saw this at a drive-in in '69 when I was 13 or so. I thought it was really cool. I never forgot it as I did most old movies. I've only come across it once or twice since then. It's rare & very hard to find. So glad someone uploaded it. Gonna enjoy it as if it's the last time I'll ever get to see it again.
I haven't seen this in years, thanks for posting this movie!
Very imaginative and entertaining movie. Thank you for uploading.
I've struggled to find this movie. Thank you very much for uploading it. Thank you.....
I love kitschy 60s scifi, very good film. Thank you.
Not a bad movie had action to it, good old Kerwin to the rescue, bad guy was blown up, good sixties movie.
"Dr. No" plus "You Only Live Twice" plus a big heaping helping of cheese. Love it.
I think, I've seen this, back when I was a kid. The scenarios were probably, as impossible as "Red Dawn" was? But, it made for an interesting Saturday afternoon or evening movie.
Excellent old movie ahead of it,s time .....this was then,what is now!!!
Great movie! Thanks for the upload!
You're welcome Andrew! Have a great weekend.
nice movie saw this at the grand theater in 67 at 8 years old thought it was soo cool.the pop corn the raisenets and goobers.this was a blast from the past loved it thanks so much for finding great over a few beers and pizza thank you Paul Maryland.
I am really grateful to you guys-I don't know why this movie isn't on the streaming channels-great silly stuff.
Man it’s great to see a film I’ve never seen before
2:05 Bar-B-Q and Pancake House???!! With a saloon and next to a striptease place? Wild!
Ten minutes to run through a tunnel to get away from point zero. Then be able to watch it without any eye shields and no trace of the bomb blast coming out of the entrance. At least Indiana Jones used a fridge.
Kerwin Matthews: 7th voyage of Sinbad.
13:15 *Hey it's Commander Ed Straker from UFO series!* 😁👍👏
Love how they end with such a romantic view of a nuclear bomb!
Yes -- VERY '60's vibe -- the bongos add that special touch!
You know you're in a sixties movie when the bongos kick in!
The soundtrack is awesome and makes the movie!
what a great old film not seen it for maybe 20 years on TNT or TCM and with thanks to who uploaded it here on TH-cam well done
I remember seeing this as a boy in the 60s!!! Liked it then, liked it now!!!
It was good to see Ed Bishop (Commander Straker) in a pre UFO role!!! Thanks for posting!!!
and as captain of the moon shuttle on 2001 a space odessy !!
@@xx3868 That's right!!!
@@xx3868 And in "Diamonds are Forever" as Klaus Hergersheimer of G section, in charge of inspecting radiation shields at the satellite assembly lab.
Paula Li Shiu would also put in an appearance on UFO. Commander Ed Straker has long been my favorite role for Ed Bishop.
If I’m not mistaken, he was also at the Australian tracking station in “You Only Live Twice.” Plus, one of the astronauts in “Mouse on the Moon.”
Instead of going over are heads they went under are heads. Interesting 🎥 and good 🎥
16:24 "Say, you look like you've done this before." "Yeah, sixth time this week and I still haven't been paid. If this one really is Al Capone's loot, I'm going to seal that prick Geraldo Rivera in with it!"
Gotta love these classic movies :)
Commander Straker’s humble begins.
This movie is pure cheese, love it. Those people who didn’t like it, lighten up.
Last time I saw this movie was when it debuted on TV as a "special presentation" when I was a still a "kid"... LONG time ago. WOW!
I like the somewhat cheezy Intrigue and Spy Sci Fi elements. The rotating wall behind the tunnel car scenes is Epic 60's low budget greatness. Over All its an enjoyable UK produced Low Budget Spy Action Sci Fi Movie with solid actors but a low budget for Props and Effects.
Good movie.Had that Spy feel to it so famous for the time period.
Thank you for another blast to the past movies. Really enjoyed it.
Well greatly done fellows!! I've often thought of this movie over the decades too. I saw it in study hall at the Jr. High school where I went. They had iconic movies like Robinson Caruso on Mars and more.
Ah the good old days when Hollywood made movies about fighting the Yellow Peril rather than sucking up to them!
This was a British movie made in Boreham Wood, near London.
@@fredneecher1746MGM is American. A lot of Star Wars was filmed in England but it would never be classed as an British movie.
Not a Hollywood movie.
Back when they made movies I probably seen this one in the theater I truly enjoyed it thank you for sharing it and letting someone on disability like me watch it on my telephone I greatly appreciate it the black eyed Boston Bull terrier in my photo her name is petunia I'm Chris ogles Apalachicola Florida
58:16 Cigarette? Just the thing to soothe those nerves while boring underground chasing those dirty Commies!
I’ve been after this film for a very long time! Thank you!!
HI all, worth watching. I liked how the enemy was not stupid and not so easily fooled.
Ed Bishop is in this flick... YAY!!!
I started watching because of the hot cop in the foreground at 0:18, then kept watching because the movie was interesting! Thought I had seen them all but never heard of this before. Thanks for the upload!
Always loved this movie
A guilty pleasure, thanks for posting it!
10 guys with grease guns and not a single one of them is carrying an extra magazine. Gotta love it.
Watch this back in the day. It was great then and still great today 😁 thanks 🎅🌲👍
Ed Bishop as Lieutenant Commander Vance Cassidy is THE reason for watching this film.
Before he became the head of SHADO!
Thank you so much for downloading this movie. I had heard of it but never saw it. Kerwin and I communicated a lot by letters and photos. He sent me an autographed photo. This was in 2001, but he had to stop as his eyesight was getting poor. What a wonderfully kind and educated man. He had a great sense of humor, also. I sent a sympathy card to his partner after his death. I cherish the letters, cards and personal photos he sent me.
You can have that red Mustang. I’ll take that first station wagon!
I learned very early on that if the hero was standing beside the bomb, it was not going to explode. LOL
I was a teen when this movie came out and would have loved seeing it but don't remember ever hearing of it. If you have tinnitus like I do now, you might want to skip the laser tunnel machine scenes. 🤣
oh my Lord, I remember this film ! Awesome
Good campy flick with good elements. Thanks 👍.
1967, American public complaining about police brutality and China 'undermining' America.
Could have been made in 2021!
Very much of it's time, I half expected Batman and Robin to make an appearance. 😏😉
This movie could have been a James Bond movie. Very good.
I'm late 👏👏👏🕊️
interesting movie. thank you for posting it. :)
Nice video
I had never seen this movie so I enjoyed it. I thought it had some believable actors and some not so believable actors but all in all, I thought it was well done. Do you think that the James Bond movie, Dr. No, had an influence on this movie...lol..!!
only actor I thought was a bit off was the blond guy who came walking up to table with news and just kinds said his part and and hung out there..
It fleetingly did seem Dr. No-ish. I like the slides the lady in the pink slacks wore early on.
This was more like Dr No Brain.
There's the usual cheesy 60's fare,
and then there's shite like this, that's completely beyond credibility.
4 Bond film alumnus in this flick. Bill Nagy, Ed Bishop, Earl Cameron, Martin Benson.
Brilliant, really enjoyed it, my highlight was the hand held fan brain washer, great film
He was pyschodelicized!
I’ve never seen this.
Thank you
Ive never heard of this movie. I was only 7. Looking forward to seeing it.
Enjoyed it lol,funny who the enemy turned out to be,great scifi old school
Never Seen this movie and I've seen alot of sifi all I watched, growing up 60s70s&80s
Hokey movie from my childhood. Nice to see it again.
My favorite part was the 1964 fastback Mustang.
I’ve never seen/heard this movie 😁 was 8yo living in CA when it came out. Very Interesting now Knowing what I KNOW NOW!!!
Bad Guys always Lose GOD Wins WE Win in the End❣️
“red is green & green is red east is sunrise & the west is dead” 🤔🧐 hmmm
This is actually a great movie...campy, maybe a bit...cheesey...ahhh, perhaps...but entertaining enough to make it fun!! Enjoy a 1967 retro hit!!
Now, on with the flick...dang it, now I need some popcorn...
Thanks for sharing this, I saw a little bit of it when small.
I think the general gave up too easily, I would think the other carts would also have had tool boxes on them for the bomb. Maybe not.
" Holy orient , Batman!!!, there are chinese people in the back rooms of the Bat cave !!!".
@@johnbockelie3899 Yes Robin, and some may be pretending to be Chinese.
Remember that villain we saw doing black-face last month?
Quick, get me the Bat nuke-o'-way........
......and a lycra clad hottie with pointy tits.
The good ole days. I saw this for a Saturday matinee as a kid
Great to see this again after so many years. Any chance of finding a copy of “them” about giant ants. Also a great film.
you still can i believe. i've got a copy myself. Just search for it on the net.
I'd forgotten that Ed Bishop was in this one. 😊
Nice movie.
I love the bit where the geologist and expert caver from the volcanic islands of Hawaii is about to cluelessly walk into a tunnel of freshly molten rock.
Love the steering wheel in the cop car! Didn't move a bit even when driving!!
"What are you going to do when you find the tunnel?"
"Destroy it of course."
"But how?"
"Here, let me show you. It's an atom bomb. 20 Megatons!"
Yup, that oughta do it.
I love how all the movies of this era always had an atom bomb or nuclear power as the answer. It was like no one worried about Radiation or fallout.
Megatons is overkill. More realistically, it should have been a few kilotons. Tsar Bomba had a yield of 50 Megatons. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU, enjoyable movie, wasn't sure where the story was going.
Loved it, off to the pub now.
