War of the Gargantuas
One of my favorite "giant monsters destroy Tokyo" films! It's about 2 giant, hairy "Frankenstein" monsters. One is green, ultra-violent and lives in the sea, one is brown, docile and lives in the mountains. They are actually referred to as "Frankensteins" in the movie. This is the sequel to "Frankenstein Conquers The World".
It also stars Russ Tamblyn, Dr. Jacoby from Twin Peaks. The War, of course, takes place in the "Madison Square Garden of the East", downtown Tokyo. I won't spoil it by telling you the winner, so you'll have to track it down yourself. The suspense is KILLING you, I can tell! Have fun trying to get to sleep tonight!!
4 stars, go find it.

One of my favorite all-time Japanese monster movies! It's great that Classic Media finally put out this missing kaiju gem on DVD. Available as a two-disc set that includes both the Japanese & US cuts of the movie along with Rodan on the 2nd disc (also both original Japanese & US versions included).
I really like your blog. It's a great read!
