With Halloween surrounded by Saturdays I thought it would be fun to do a Halloween kaiju post with sequels. The first and second appearance of Ghidorah or Mechagodzilla or something. All I found were second appearances in various timelines, so there went that plan. Even tonight’s movie is technically a sequel, but so far removed from the first movie that I don’t care. I could have tried Internet Archive, which is great for audio but terrible to post as videos on this host, or DailyMotion, which hasn’t been even a tolerable player in years and currently autoplays an embed even when you tell it not to, so forget it. I can’t even get the Japanese sub anywhere, so the second dub (somewhere Harvey Dent is having a good laugh) of War Of The Gargantuas is what you get. Sorry.
Frankenstein’s Monsters: Sanda vs. Gaira is supposedly a sequel to Frankenstein Vs Baragon, known in the US as Frankenstein Conquers The World. It’s a monster that resembles Frankenstein/Frankenstein’s monster I don’t care the debate is stupid and pedantic and not my genre. Supposedly it was made from the monster’s heart or something. I never cared when I watched it. It’s one of Toho’s rare bad designs. Well, because scientists love to prove that no level of smart is safe from being stupid, they used those cells to create another monster, which gets an evil twin brother through even more dodgy science. Nobody cares about a good origin here. They just want to see monsters fight.
When the good twin is “framed” by the evil twin who just wants to eat people and destroy the world or something evil like that, the scientist must find out who’s who before the government gets their frustration over their Godzilla-killing failures out on the wrong monster. Will they succeed? Find out and enjoy!
