[akitaman101]

[leothelion19]

[cpfan110]

i know one thing, Baragon is cooler than the guy in this video :)

[Mike55loveshisgecko]

Dude Baragon is awesome.

Thumbs down.

[Madness216]

Baragon in Godzilla,Mothra and King Ghidorah Baragon looks like good!

[DarkwingMantis]

wow, terrible video. Dude is too much of a freakin spaz

[MOVIEmania709]

baragon is awsome my favorite is the showa version also the movies awsome so is baragon.

[cpfan110]

Baragon should have WON frankenstien sucks he can't do ANYTHING *reapeat* ANYTHING

frankenstein SUCKS! a worthless gigantic crackhead with nothing better to do than run around like an idiot.

HOW DID HE WIN BARAGON HAS A GLOWING HORN AND CAN FIRE A RAY OF FIRE FROM HIS MOUTH!

FRANKENSTEIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN ROASTED!

[MOVIEmania709]

@cpfan110 i like both espacially baragon the movie is awsome i like frankenstein but the movie is so much like king kong vs godzilla do you agree.

[cpfan110]

@MOVIEmania709 when you look at fankenstien and baragon fighting yeah it is like king kong vs godzilla so yes i agree

[MOVIEmania709]

@cpfan110 every time when i watched thats what it remind me of my mom just ordered the film for easter yesterday i told my dad about it.

[TrueDraconic]

I just dont get how this dvd is worth over $100. P.S. Baragon-=epic.

[Ghidorah1986]

Baragon is awesome. Way cooler than stupid Frankenstein. Baragon is one of the best toho monsters of all time.

[UFWD2000]

nazies!

[Madscientist55]

You know? Maybe instead of stating things suck, maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself. Baragon rocks! If you don't like him, then don't bother making these kind of things. And if your the BIGGEST kaiju fan, then you should like Baragon.

[imbluz]

I want to watch the movie. Get out of the way you ugly dork.

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

i like giant monsters FAR more than u

[Drago110482]

The octupus fights relly stupid! He could choke Frankenstein to death easily if he would use his 8 tentakles smarter.

Unrealistic, but cult movie!

[pazzensutra]

This guy's pretty funny.

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

bragon lame? dude, so what if it's red, plus, frankenstein doesnt have any cool abillities. i mean, you choose lightning powered animal eating man over firebreathing ground burrowing lizard monster?

[imbluz]

@GodzillaXAbudAwwal

Baragon can spit a ray of lightning. He was quick and agile. Baragon eventually succums to frankenstein's superior strength as Frankenstein lifts him up over his head and throws Baragon like a bean bag. Frankenstein may be dumb, but all he did was throw Baragon around.

[cuttock]

What a terrible lump of shit of a movie.

[Shawnster65]

What makes this movie work, first of all, is it's largely insane plotline..a LIVING Frankenstein monster who grows to crazy heights. Second, it has a very surreal and unique atmosphere enhanced by some excellent music. On all fronts, Toho went waa-yy out of their way to make a unique film, and aside from a few obvious FX slips (but not many) they have suceeded. This was a wonderfully eerie movie.

[Adom]

That is one badass octopus.

[Shawnster65]

@Adom Yeah, you won't find HIM on any menu at a Japanese restaurant ;-)

[Adom]

@Shawnster65 But could he have predicted the World Cup Winners?

[Shawnster65]

@Adom HAHA!!! Y'know I wonder too, if this is Paul's big brother?

[fastold]

@Shawnster65 lol if hes is he predicts frankenstiens death muhahahahaha  ha

[rancorslayer184]

this guys an idiot, baragon is fucking awesome, frankenstein in this movie sucks! he just looks like a big green crackhead!

[DonaDiabla24]

LOL!

[YungReg88]

This was the second Frankenstein movie I've ever seen.

[mofrakker]

War of the Gargantuas? The sequel? I remember seeing both back in the day, did NOT know they were related. Althought you see the same scene in various japanese monster movies: army toy tanks, the ray weapon, ray laser hitting the monster of the week in the ass, monster fleeing through fake trees causing mayhem.

[Shawnster65]

Take a look at Sanda, the brown gargantua, and you can easily see the human-like features of what appears to be a shaggy Frankenstein monster.

The notion is is that pieces of Frankenstein's flesh that were ripped

off during his battles in the first movie grew into the Gargantuas, each developed according to the enviroment they were in when they began to grow.

FCTW and WOTG have surrreal dream like qualities..almost like a bad nightmare, and they are highly underrated movies.

[Shawnster65]

Hi Mofrakker-sorry for the late reply,

but yes, War Of The Gargantuas is the sequel to this movie.

The octopus dragging Frankenstein into the ocean was the original ending, and it also sets up a possible explanation of the creation of the Green Gargantua.

However, the ambiguous dialogue and lack of proof in both films leaves the relation between Frankie and the Gargantuas somewhat in the dark, but look no further to the Gargantuas to see Frankenstein's features. It's very obvious.

[DeviantSon13]

Hey, I like Baragon. Especially in GMK, he DID NOT SUCK!!!

[Shawnster65]

WERD! Although he dosen't suck, there is the general consensus that he was too "cute" for a monster. He was a fighter though..he gave Godzilla a bit of hell there, lol

Fangoria said in their GMK article that if he were "any cuter, he'd make a great housepet." There again, Fangoria says a lot of thngs.....

[DeviantSon13]

I guess I see what you mean. :/

[Shawnster65]

Well I thought Baragon was pretty cool. And he got more than just Godzilla and Frankenstein time.

His suit was used several times in the Ultraman TV series from 1966, most notably in episode 3, "Charge Forth, Science Patrol" where he was a creature called Neronga.

Neronga was an electrical creature that drained the power plants of their energy and became stronger.

While some may think he's a weak entry, his suit certainly went to create some other cool monsters too.

[MOVIEmania709]

@DeviantSon13 cool i like the showa baragon i have the revoltech figure of him and i agree baragon didn't suck in gmk he's awsome to. i wish he appeared in final wars at least he was in gmk.

[ZombieBacon23]

@DeviantSon13 Baragon, and the Big-G are my to favorite kaiju, and Baragon is waaaaay to overlooked

[Shawnster65]

I thought Frankenstein

became the Green gargantua:

He "drowns" during the fight with Oodaku, but in actuality he is comatose, and his body repairs itself thru the absorption of plankton, and a limited supply of oxygen keeps his brain alive.

However, in the transition from Frankenstein to Gaira, the brain is damaged from lack of enough oxygen

as he can't breathe underwater, thus his brutal temperment.

He appears again, but in a lesser, more brutal and vicious state as Gaira.

[jasonrules41]

The Octopus was orginally from Godzilla Vs King Kong so if you count Frankenstien Conquers The World part of the SHOWA (Godzilla Raids Again - Terror Of Mecha-Godzilla) series we can assume its that Octopus or the spawn of that Octopus.

[crmfghtr]

There wasn't really any deleted scenes, there were actually 3 different versions of this movie and none declared "official"

[Lfdjake91]

I saw this movie when I was a kid on a show called "Creature Double Feature". The version I saw was obviously the American version because IIRC, the ending I saw happened where Frankenstein died in an earthquake while fighting Baragon.

[elinmortal50]

OMG the deleted octopus[ aka Oodako] fight scene!

[hailbrainiac]

There is a second deleted scene & it`s a shame because it was awesome.

[alandhopewell]

Not the smartest monster in the world, wot?

[Warhammerdude980]

The giant octopus's name is Oodako, he's in of course Frankenstein conquers the world, War of the Gargantuas and King kong vs. Godzilla

[7DARKHELLS]

That Octopus sounded like a plunger ungloging a sink!

[fjccommish]

What do you mean it makes no sense. Nazis steal Frankenstein's heart, deliver it to a Japanese scientist who installs it into a boy who grows into a giant.  It makes perfect sense.

[megaman2160]

was this octopus scene after his fight with baragon?

[Warhammerdude980]

ya it was

[Kaisho12]

You're totally right, Baragon sucks ass! You should do War of the Gargantuans next! I saw the battle scene on Youtube and it looked great!

[Warhammerdude980]

War of the Gargantuas was a great movie

[herrwest]

When i first saw this when i was a kid, Frankenstein's screams scared me for some reason!

[DannyAbs]

This guy needs hair club for Massive Jack -Offs

[tiffn2kids]

Hey, a short, skinny japanese guy who looks like a new age neanderthal! I wouldnt have thought up a better monster than that!!

[dogma7890]

Baragon is awesome! If his flame was as strong as Godzilla's breath, the fight wouldn't have lasted very long!

[VampireSlayer65]

the guy who comments on this sucks monkeys

[ATLien174]

You are right!

[78Bigtank]

Do a review about war of the Gargantua keep up the good work.

[Shawnster65]

This is one of those movies you just run with..the surrealism is amazing. Anyone who has seen this late night probabaly woke up wondering if it was really a movie or a bad dream.

You just have to stay tuned to see what happens next! Either way it has a strange attraction as a movie, and it's a truly original take on the Frankenstein monster, and another reason why all things wild, weird, and wonderful come from one place-Japan. Ippon, Ichi-ban! :)

[Scathach80]

Unit 731's experiments come to mind.

[Peekingduck]

Am I the only one that's impressed by the octopus skills to breathe out of water?

[Rojum55]

Originally it was supposed to be Franky fighting Godzilla but the fact of Godzilla losing to an Asian Frankenstein made them decide to instead use Baragon and the Octopus!

[Mike55loveshisgecko]

@Rojum55 Actully no Baragon was in from the start the octupus was added in saince the american distributer was impressed with the octopus kong fight scene but after the filming changed his mind and didn't want it anymore.

[TheFabulousStain]

well said

[sweargod3]

where can u get the dvd i need to see it
