I think they needed specific orders for them to use them- the daleks always explained what they wanted the robomen to do when they did something but the doctor just shouted attack the daleks. I don’t think it occurred to them to attack the daleks with ray guns... and I don’t think they wouldn’t worked either! Keep in mind the daleks are still smart and wouldn’t want the robomen to use their own weapons against them
Also I believe that Daleks would give their Robo men weapons that could kill them. My guess is it would probably take a lease about a dozen Rayguns to defeat at least one Dalek alone.
I just realized the Gold Supreme Dalek killed the most people of any Dalek in this movie. It killed 6 robomen and saved both the red and a soldier dalek.
I love some of the classic mistakes, IE during the mine shot you can see two robomen extras with one prop, they’ve clearly knocked the top off, ones wrestling to take it off whilst the other is frantically trying to put it back, and then when the Black Dalek throws the stuntman over the railing he takes the claw with him, probably revenge for his brothers broken leg Ala the earlier stunt in the movie
As much as I love this clip... 1: The Doctor has to flick teeny tiny switch to use the robo-communicator, how can the Daleks touch that switch?? .. 2: Why did the robomen take off their helmets??
Certain Daleks in the Peter Cushing films, such as the Black Dalek and the Red Dalek in this scene, have a metal claw instead of their usual plunger which allows them to use little switches like this and operate certain controls.
I just thought of something. So the movie daleks shoot this sort of compressed gas looking stuff out of their guns instead of the 'death ray' thing the tv daleks did, and its a quirky effect but doesn't make much sense, and it also kills immediately on contact and will combust machinery (like the dalek travel machine Ian was stuck in in the first movie) So my thoughts on it are that maybe the gun shoots out a death ray aswell, but because it comes into contact with moisture in the air it vaporises that aswell, creating that gas effect. When it comes into contact with flesh it will super heat the insides extremely quickly, causing massive internal damage and kills instantly. That's also why the clothes and outer skin doesn't get damaged either, its heating the liquids inside, just like a microwave does.
Considering it’s apart of a wide shot with about a dozen actors and it was probably noticed later into editing going back with a dozen actors would have been too costly, if it had been a close up then it would have been cheap, but at this point the set would have been torn down and the Dalek casings in the hands of Terry Nation
0:32 The Doctor reveals he is wanting the Daleks to win by glaring at the human just a second earlier. Also great soundtrack. I see why "Police Squad - In Color" used the same style
Red dalek supreme that could literally kill the doctor while he yells down the microphone: "Just telling the robo men to attack us won't work, we are literally daleks. OH SHIT ITS WORKING"
there have been many occasions where a fire extinguisher has failed to work in a emergency so i suppose it could be said that they have killed people if only indirectly
@@rigatonipasta i dont understand why didn't they not attacked the gold dalek hmm interesting its funny tho how they attacking the daleks looks like they playing with them and fighting over them haha
This movie's supposed to take place in the mid 22nd century yet the local Humans are dressed like it's mid to late 20th century Britain plus the buildings aren't futuristic looking. Did Humanity stop progressive socially and technologically after the 20th century in that timeline?
