Imagine if the woman hadn't got the message to Gort, and he went on a total earth-destroying killing spree. Do you think - with our current artillery - it would be possible to actually take him out? What would you use and how?
I'd simply dig a hole and push him into it. Or spray him with water until he rusts and seizes up!
"would be possible to actually take him out? What would you use and how?"
a giant mirror or reflector diamond point it at him. The beam would hit him?
I don't think he could withstand a 30 isoton nuke shoved where the sun don't shine.

Hi Bavarian;
Your idea:<------->"I would try to persuade him to download the latest security-update from M$ for his operating system. Then we will see..."
How about this? Download Gort's operating system with Windows "VISTA." Pretty good chance a lot of his old programs won't run. No drivers. COMMENTS?
I think that is one thing that makes Gort so awesome. His power is left only to our imagination and Klaatu seems to know he has an awful lot of it.
shareUh...I don't think Gort goes striding about zapping buildings and trampling the helpless...
Gort gets in the spacecraft and flies around cirling the Earth at supersonic speeds, lasers on full power and systematically burns the skin of life off the planet.
That, or he harmonically attacks, inducing a massive vibration resulting in the Earth breaking into pieces and flying out into the vacuum of space.
In other words, you'd better stop him before he gets in the ship, which I'm sure would be equipped with defensive shields, which Gort could probably activate from a distance and extend around him and his proteges.
Me thinks when you piss Gort off...you're fuqt.

How did they bring down the AT-AT's in Empire Strikes Back, eh? eh??
I don't think Gort had any power at all. Klaatu just exaggerated and everyone called his bluff. I suspect Gort was just a friend of Klaatu in a weird suit acting badass...
shareI think Gort was everything Klaatu (Michael RENNIE) said he was. I don't think Klaatu was too big on bluffing or making idle threats.
shareHold up a ghetto blaster in front of him, playing country-western music, and watch his head explode. If that don't work, try rap music.

That might work. Rap music could corrupt just about anything. Of course, downloading my joke book into Gort's OS would really do the trick.
I propose a less drastic method with no collateral damage to innocent civilians. Suppose you could hire Rosie O'Donnell to go into one of her tirades right in front of Gort. Wouldn't that make Gort beg Klaatu for a hasty return at warp speed to whence they came from? It would also be cost effective because I believe Rosie would work for a box of Krispy Kremes (the ones with heavy frosting).
shareHold up a ghetto blaster in front of him, playing country-western music, and watch his head explode. If that don't work, try rap music.Best answer ever! If neither works, try James Blunt's You're Beautiful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:James_blunt_-_you%27re_beautiful.ogg
I'd make Gort watch "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" repeatedly. It would be so unbearable that he'd destroy himself. Problem solved.
shareI'd bring in the Kool-Aid Man to take care of business. Gort may be powerful and all-knowing, but the Kool-Aid Man busts through brick walls by accident.

what I would do to destroy him would be by capturing him and the dumping him into fierce hot lava.Lava disappears almost anything....
shareIts 2008, folks. I'd buy a half dozen different radio controlled toys and try the control unit out on him. And if that didn't work, I'd take a crash course in Klaatu's language, get my trusty genuine Boy Scout flashlight, and flash message him on the wall (while staying out of his sight), that Klaatu wants him to self destruct. Brahahaha.
