  1. This movie holds a special distinction in my heart, one that I wish to impart with everyone here. This is the only movie that simply, truthfully, and honestly, put me to sleep in 30 minutes. The acting was golden, and you couldn’t tell at all that it was just hastily dubbed into English with extremely Cheesy Dick Van Dyke-esque voices that made their poor Japanese actor counterparts look like buffoons. However, the joys and Eternal Elation does not end there. The special effects were every bit as amazing and realistic as those from “Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.” For any of you who have not seen either movie, then you are sorely missing out in the world of fly-by-night unrealistic “effects” that could better be produced in QBASIC on a 386 running DOS. The plot was pretty much ripped off from every other monster movie in existence, so if you really want to watch a cheesy and enjoyable monster movie, watch one of the ten million “Godzilla” reincarnations or “The Stuff”, and leave this one to the fact that there are quite simply things out there that man was not meant to experience or know.

    This movie is also called “Monster from a Prehistoric Planet”. How do I know? I bought both!

    This movie is about how monsters love their children as much as any person. Its very stupid and worthless. There are bad movies that are lovable and bad movies that should go in the trash. This is the later.

    Eigentlich war ich von den Tokyo-Shock DVDs immer sehr angetan…gute Qualität, japanische Tonspur…alles sehr schön.

    Bloß bei dieser DVD geht jede Bewegung ruckend von statten. D. h., daß man sich bei jeder Kamerafahrt unweigerlich die Haare rauft – der Filme hat ziemlich viele Kamerafahrten!

    Und sie ist während der Nachtszenen derartig dunkel, daß man raten muß, was gerade passiert. Das Dumme dabei ist, daß die Gappas grundsätzlich nachtaktiv zu sein scheinen (das ist bestimmt eine Verschwörung – um die schlechten Monsteranzüge nicht im Hellen zeigen zu müssen :-) ).

    Dabei ist der Film gar nicht so schlecht….das übliche eben (debile tanzende Eingeborene, der dreckig lachende Gierlappen als Chef des Ganzen und am Schluß fliegen die Gappas in den Sonnenuntergang – wer “Mothra” und “King Kong gegen Godzilla” gesehen hat, kennt den Film eigenlich schon).

    Schade drum….

    Have you ever heard of Godzilla? Maybe Gorgo? Well get those not this! A greedy buisnessman sends half-brained twits to clear out and explore an island that he wants to use for an amiusment park. They then meet natives that befrend them. As they head into a cave behind emense statues, an annoying brat tells them not to go in there. The reason is that their gods Gappa would hate that. As stupid as they are, they GO IN! The explorers head into the cave and capture a chicken monster. As they left the island, the brat goes too. And no duh the creature gets from 4 tho 40 ft. tall. The parents come in and retrieve the baby. It’s a rip-off to King Kong, Mothra, Godzilla vs. Mothra, Godzilla, Gorgo, and the X from Outer Space. This is simply a tragety and should of never been made.

    You really have to be into Japanese monster flicks to enjoy this movie. Giant chickens attacking Tokyo may be one of the lamest plot lines in the genre, but it’s good for a laugh. Well, it would be good for a laugh, if this was a decent copy of the film. The DVD transfer of the film is very dark and muddy, barely watchable with the brightness cranked up on the television. The sound track is okay, with few wobbles or glitches. Save your cash on this one, and wait to see if a better copy comes out.
