Yokai Monsters: Along with Ghosts (1969)

[badmovieihave]

Bad movie I have Double Feature It has Destroy all Planets aka Gamera vs. Viras 1968 and Monster from a Prehistoric Planet aka Gappa the Triphibian Monsters 1967

[visplay]

Chris: Gamera vs. Viras remastered, hd, US extended theatrical version which seems to include about 15 minutes of battle scenes from previous Gamera films, and I remember the bee hive UFO when I first saw this at age 5, but I had no recollection of the monster, and the film I saw as a kid must have been edited massively, I certainly don’t remember the gory attack on Gamera, and the scenes with Gamera attacking the UFO are great, saw this on the remastered bluray set, Watch: Buy for kaiju fans, otherwise Watch: When Free.

Richie: I thought the decapitation transformation scene was amazing, and I have no memory of it, it must have been edited when I first saw it, Watch: Buy.

"Lord Danjo, even if Juro was here, as long as I am alive I will never take orders from you. Now leave!"

"The god's wrath? Huh! Is that a threat?"

"No, it's not. The god that protects us is on Yagumo island. He will become angry if you cause harm to the land."

"Such foolish things don't happen!"

Satan's Sword II: The Dragon God (1960)

[visplay]

Chris: Yokai Monsters: Along with Ghosts is the third 1960s Japanese yokai-related film that is included in a new Blu-ray box set, and the yokai featured are more monstrous and spookier than the other films, and finally clearly able to seen, Watch: Buy.

Richie: The yokai are used more for effect than part of the plot, Watch: Buy.
