On March 12, 1972 Toho-Eizo Company released Chikyu Kogeki Meirei: Gojira Tai Gaigan, "Godzilla Versus Gigan". The U.S. version of this film, entitled Godzilla On Monster Island, was released in August of 1977. The story: A cartoonist, hired by the developers of an amusement park called Children's World Land, is anything but amused after discovering that his employers are actually alien cockroaches in human disguise, who are here on Earth because their own planet has become ravaged by pollution, and want to conquer Earth and possess the planet's abundance of natural resources. Opposing the aliens, in addition to Gengo the cartoonist :his girlfriend, conveniently well-versed in the martial arts, a portly hippie, and another woman who wants to rescue her brother(who is forced to aid the aliens in the upkeep and repair of their electronics). Fortunately, for humanity, Godzilla and Angilas also join in the fight against the aliens, squaring off against Gigan, a space cyborg kaiju, and old G adversary King Ghidorah. ------------Observations: Once more a fun, though somewhat uneven movie for me. The effects are, at times, spectacular, courtesy of SPFX director Teruyoshi Nakano, unquestionably one of the best at creating awesome pyrotechnic effects. In other instances the effects are erratic, and in one scene preposterous(referring to the "word ballooned" communication between Godzilla and Angilas). The film has been released on Region 1 DVD by Columbia/Tri-Star so fans can view this film in widescreen, a clean print, and with decent audio and subtitle options. Post your take and opinions on this film, anything related and the DVD if you like. All replies welcome. :) |
