Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS

When is a sequel not really a sequel? When it's the 1966 kaiju movie "War Of The Gargantuas", that's when!

It's like Christopher Lee once said: "You will be cast in bad parts - the important thing is to never be bad *in* them."

[@GoGojiraGo]

If you take the alternate ending into account, the beginning of the movie is Gaira getting revenge on Oodako for killing his and Sanda's "father" in the previous movie.

Yeah, but that Giant octopus avenged Baragon.

Fun fact: Haruo Nakajima stated that he staged the fight sequences to look like a pro wrestling match because they were more mobile. And Brandon, I wanted to shoot the screen during that song too.

[@nathanielschwartz425]

7:54 Actually, they almost did. I’m reading a biography on Ishiro Honda and apparently in the book, it had quotes from the crew members where they were saying that Russ Tamblyn was just a big egotistical jerk. And at one point Ishiro Honda, who is arguably one of the most gentle and selfless people, actually had to hold himself back from slugging him. And Henry G. Saperstein agreed saying “Nick Adams… was a consummate pro and blended in very easily. Tamblyn was a royal pain in the ass.”

Nick Adams wasn't about to earn any Oscars from the performances I've seen him in, but the guy did have a lot of charisma and screen presence, it's a pity he wasn't in this and that he died tragically only a few years later.

[@AndrewGivens]

He died? Oh, shit. I thought he changed nationalities and became Vladimir Putin - now I feel like such a gigantic atomic louse.

[@matthewdavies2057]

If Adams was in this, by the end of shooting, 1/4 of the crew would have been pregnant but nobody would have any injuries.

[@CBright7831]

10:38 - Fun fact: That's Haruo Nakajima in the Green Gargantua (Gaira) suit. He's most famous for being Godzilla's suit actor from 1954 to 1972. I'm sure that he was used to having fireworks go off on him by now. "Just another day at the office."

[@Tareltonlives]

This was his favorite role, as he got to finally use his face to act and not just his body.

[@williambanks2223]

Also, I read somewhere that he patterned the fight scenes after pro wrestling because it was easier to choreograph.

[@TheIntestineInspector]

I'm pretty sure at one moment the explosives went off a bit too close to his ... area.

[@legionbeast]

Haruo Nakajima was particularly fond of this role as it was one of the few monster performances where he could show part of his face, in this case his eyes, and could emote with his face. He also gives 110% with the lighter suit and the scenes of Gaira hauling ass are still notably cool.

[@dt3583]

Fun Fact: War of the Gargantuas is the film that inspired Brad Pitt to become an actor.

[@juanm.rodriguezgallarzo9287]

Fun fact from Wiki: Henry G. Saperstein cast Hamilton in what would be her final film role, a singer in The War of the Gargantuas, a Japanese Kaiju movie. Billed as a "Special Guest Star", Hamilton performs the song "The Words Get Stuck in My Throat", which was covered by Devo.

[@BobHershey]

"Final film role"? I didn't even know she was in any other movies. Apparantly her singing was so bad it killed her acting career.

[@TitanGoji]

There has recently been an English dub of the film that aired on Starz that is a straight up dub of the Japanese version, and includes all the references to Frankenstein, even replacing the word "Gargantua" with "Frankenstein".

[@sjdrifter72]

it's the previously ultra rare International English Dub. Unfortunately they layered it over the Japanese version instead of using the proper print with English titles and credits which were different from the UPA english print that's reviewed here.

[@ShadowWingTronix]

And it's STILL a better dub than this one.

[@theaphidsyndrome]

Lol

[@captaincough2326]

Fun fact: Russ Tamblyn possibly did get into a fight with the directer of this movie, so that could be a black eye that he has.

@@speeder-gojira A lot of cast and crew, mostly crew, said the two had nearly come to blows a few times, and in a later confession, that the pair had gotten drunk and the night had to be stopped. I think they might have done just that, and just covered up the whole thing best they could.

[@foreignroninl1555]

@goufr3540 There actually is a manga about random vehicles combining into giant mechas to fight giant monsters: Ken Ishikawa's Getter Robo. I highly recommend you check it out if you haven't since the series can not get incredibly wild, but also helped inspire Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann.

"HUMONGUCLOPS" ...a SyFy Channel Original Movie.

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

12:35 Correction: In the Japanese version, the characters seemed to imply that the brown Gargantua *was* Frankenstein from the first movie. It was really confusing.

[@JarJarBinks4ever]

I thought they were created from the remains of the Frankenstein monster.

[@ConstantineFurman]

They do not that. In the Japanese version, Sanda's origins are still obscure and convoluted. He may have grown from Frankenstein's severed hand, maybe not. He may have grown from the cells of Frankenstein, maybe not. Now, in early drafts of the script (back when Dr. Bowen and Sueko were the main characters) Sanda was Frankenstein having survived the last film. But in the film as is, it's still frustratingly obtuse.

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

KeepingAngelaBaker In the Japanese version, Akemi mentioned how their “Frankenstein” returned to say goodbye to her, after his escape from the lab. Dr. Stuart later recalled how their “Frankenstein” escaped to Lake Biwa. Both are supposed to be references to Frankenstein Conquers the World, but twisted around so confusingly.

Something that should be noted about this movie, which this reviewer didn't note cause he's to busy delivering a MST3K impersonation - it's one of the few of these "kaiju's" that actually manages to be successfully SCARY at times. There are actually some pretty FRIGHTENING scenes in THIS flick, like that one in which which these two guys look down over the edge of a boat they're on and see this monsters hideous visage just below the waters transparent surface looking up at them hungrily ( shown briefly at 5:42 ), THAT's truly classic! There's also a pretty creepy and disturbing scene ( that wasn't shown in this video review ) where the malevolent green monster EATS a person on camera - puts her in his mouth and chews her! ! One of the FEW times in these kaiju movies you actually saw a monster do something like that directly to a human being ( they were usually just shown smashing buildings ).

I'm from DFW as well. I remember when Dialing For Dollars would have 'Monster Week'. We didn't get out of school until 3:15, and I had to rush home to see most of the movie.

Let's not forget Kung Fu Movies in the summertime and Icky Twerp in the morning

This would have been back in 1973, because I can remember being terribly upset when the monster movies were preempted by the Watergate hearings.

[@julcan1987]

Thank you, this was one of the movies I was hoping you'd review.

[@juanrangel6880]

9:34. Thanks for that playing that song, "words get stuck in my throat,". Now that song is stuck in my head!! (Insert booing crowd noise)

[@stephenmartin1982]

This is awesome. I remember seeing this for the first time when Space was running all these Toho flicks to capitalize on the release of the 1998 American Godzilla. It was one of those times that sticking home and watching TV was the better option

YEEEEEWS , WE FINALY GOT HERE

[@wildwind413]

This was an amazing video. And it came out on my birthday too. After mentioning this film many reviews ago, you finally reviewed it. Also, please review Space Amobia

[@loosecrash]

Green Gargantua’s running style brought me actual happiness.

[@The_PokeSaurus]

Can you review Arachnophobia? P.S. Nice shirt.

[@The_PokeSaurus]

Yur wellcum!

[@DeepEye1994]

I was expecting a Kong: Skull Island joke with the octopus (which Kong eats)

[@brandonb1681]

Dude, you deserve more subs. Great stuff. I bought a T-Shirt. OMG...that song is stuck in my mind.

[@TheLordcyrus]

This was one of my faves from Sunday morning monster movies as a kid of the 80’s.

[@thatonea-hole]

*I CALLED IT!!!! I KNEW U WOULD REVIEW THIS AFTER FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD!* Also Obligatory comment: *REVIEW MORE GODZILLA!!!!!!* #StrangeSequels

[@wstine79]

Here's a common comment "TOHO is shutting the review down."

[@smithwesson1896]

THAT One-AHOLE You are everywhere dude

[@thatonea-hole]

+Smith Wesson *YES!!!* *YES, I AM!!!!!*

[@Tareltonlives]

I think I'm the only one watching these who wants more Dinosaur movie reviews. I love the Godzilla reviews, but some variety would be nice.

[@thatonea-hole]

+wstine79 *I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!!!* Shouts content creator. *WHOOPS! DID I DO THAT?!?!?* - says Toho
