War of the Gargantuas is a 1966 Toho Kaiju epic that has shaped the genre since its original release. But there’s a problem with this movie! It’s what version of the movie is readily available.
“War of the Gargantuas is a 1966 Toho Kaiju epic that has shaped the genre since its original release. It’s a cult classic, and besides the original Godzilla, is in my opinion the quintessential kaiju movie ever made. A movie that is schlocky and crazy, full of great monster action and beautiful miniature effects. But also a movie with a heart, one largely brought about by director Ishiro Honda’s intervention with the story.”
