What's missing from the description of this video, is that War Of The Gargantuas is the sequel to the previous film, "Frankenstein Conquers The World", a very strange and surreal film in itself own right, as Toho delivers their own gigantic version of the Frankenstein Monster. See it if you can.

@Shawnster65 Well its not a direct sequel, more so in spirit. Since the character Frankenstein is never mentioned, and instead the "Gargantua" is the replacement.

Jekyll and Mister Hyde monster's version??

[carnage4907]

Nah, one is an accidental clone of the other.

great movie for that time period. I love watching it. I'd kick the green one's ass anyday

[carnage4907]

Lol, yea I love the old Toho movies.

I wish they still showed these monster films on American TV. I remember TBS and TNT would do a Japanese monster movie showcase every few months. Television is awful now.

I'm surprise YouTube don't have the movie, I would love too see it again...Last time I saw it i was a kid 44 years ago.

@carnage4907 It's like the German Dub of Godzilla.

[jakfuki]

I'd love to have the green one's costume, and hide in some kid's closet until after dark. Bwah-ha-ha!

[supah1337B]

Ha, what the Godzilla theme necessary? I know a Godzilla soundtrack when I hear one.

i have the japanese version on DVD and there are many interesting differences from the american dubbed version,including the fact the two monsters are referred to as FRANKENSTEINS,thus the link to Frankenstein Conquers The World.

[CelestialWoodway]

On the DVD if you watch it with English subtitles instead of dubbed English a lot of the story and dialogue is quite different.

@carnage4907 Frankenstein is mentioned. The sailor that survived called Gaira, "Frankenstein".
