    JJ, since you are such a stickler for detail, you should know that the correct phrase is "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!"

    To answer your question, the movie was based on a short story called "Farewell to the Master" written by Harry Harrison in which the robot was clearly the master. The story was published in a pulp magazine called "Amazing Stories" (published by the great Joseph Campbell) and featured a cover illustration which depicted the robot holding Klaatu (dead) in his open hand. This same illustration was later used as the cover of a Queen album.

  "Gort Buringa" - The Day the Earth Stood Still
  Realease 1951
  Starring Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal & Hugh Marlowe

  The command "Gort Buringa" was issued by Klaatu to Gort twice in the film.

  The first time when Klaatu first returns to the ship, orders Gort to open the ramp.
  The second time when preparing to leave Earth after his speech. Both times, this instruction sounds the same, Gort Baringa, but the result is somewhat different. In the second case, the ramp is already down. Gort, standing to the left of the portal, turns left and enters the ship.

  Classic Sci-Fi, may be released in DVD soon?

      Yea, I think so, but he was wrong. They are really from Ohio, just had their mum's move to Great Brittan real quick like when they started to get popular. You know all the groovy groups of that time were Brit's.
