Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great movie! But sorry fans, Not a sequel!!
This is really one of the most interesting, creatiive, unusual and scary giant monster movies of all time.
It is often identified as a sequel to "Frankenstein against Bragon" (aka Frankenstein Conquers The World)
BUT IT IS ACTUALLY NOT A SEQUEL AT ALL. In its original conception it was intended as a sequel.
But the connection was dropped at the request of american coproducer Henry Saperstein for various reasons.
Saperstein felt the story worked better as its own ... Read More
Rating:  - Classic Toho Production
This film was originally released in the states in the summer of 1970. It played on a double bill with Monster Zero. I saw it in a drive-in theater on my ninth birthday...still the best birthday presant I've ever recieved. I love japanese monster movies and War of the Garantuas is my personal favorite. Like its co-feature it was produced in 1966 by Toho Studios. Directed by Inoshiro Honda and scored by Akira Ifukebe, the men responsible for all the great japanese Sci-Fi films of the 50's and 60's, ... Read More
Rating:  - Frankenstein Monsters: Sanda Vs. Gaira
As a youngster, this film disturbed me. When the evil green gargantua Gaira grabs the woman from the airport office buidling and proceeds to chomp her down then spit out her clothes, it's the thing nightmares are made of. In the USA, the title was changed from "Frankenstein Monsters: Sanda Vs. Gaira" to "The War Of The Gargantuas". It was originally released in Japan in 1966 and for us Yanks, 1970. The Japanese version is a sequel to an earlier film titled "Frankenstein Vs. Baragon" (US title: "Frankenstein ... Read More

I can hear the voiceover for the trailer of this DVD release: "From the director that brought you the original 1954 GODZILLA, 1962's KING KONG VERSUS GODZILLA, and 1968's DESTROY ALL MONSTERS comes...FURANKENSHUTAIN!
Franken - what!?
Sadly, Director Ishiro Honda died in 1993 so we won't be able to ask him how (or if) he ever got rights to use the Frankenstein franchise name for a series of two movies that don't really look or feel anything like the Frankenstein that we over here in ... Read More
Rating:  - WEIRD ONE
I saw this as a re-release in about 1972 in theatres, it originally came out in 66-67 not 1970. It has been on tv through the years, but rarely if ever anymore. A not unusually strange Japanese giant monster flick that is supposed to be a continuation of their "Frankenstein" movie nonsense. Dont try to make a connection, its not worth it.
Two giant beast like creatures battle it out as a crushed Japanese city looks on. The brown creature is "good" and the green one is evil, chomping ... Read More
