Attack Of The Super Monsters
A little gem from my childhood back when video stores were still around. Though honestly, I don't know why this didn't get showcased on MST3K. It's perfect riffing material. Think about it:
You have a cybernetic hermaphrodite riding in a customized fighter plane with buzz saws and a big ass drill fighting giant fire-breathing, radioactive breath spiting, laser-eye shooting dinosaurs that take over the minds of animals to destroy the human race for supremacy over the Earth. With some poor dubbing, questionable science and logic, stock footage (remember this was not only originally a TV show called Dinosaur War Izenborg that, like how Saru No Gundan became Time of the Apes, was the first couple of episodes edited together to make into a movie, but also features stock footage from other shows Tsuburaya Productions made which in this case I'm guessing Fire Man), and corny jokes.
What's not to like?

For some reason, I love how anime people were blended in with the tokusatsu effects. Some toku from the late 1970's did this, mostly Tsuburaya ones and it's really trippy how it is done. And it's amazing. If I made shows based on my characters, I would do it this way.

"honestly, I don't know why this didn't get showcased on MST3K. " I am here because this has made it into RiffTrax: the game and I said I told my viewers I had to watch it immediately during my stream and someone found this link. RiffTrax is Mike and the Robots and they do voice work in the game which means the cast of MST3K agreed it's perfect riffing material and they will make jokes right alongside you and your friends. Oh, and it looks like there was a rifftrax for the whole movie in 2019.
So I really want to go off on this, not in a bad way though, just something of a tangent. 1) My family owned this VHS, and I enjoyed the hell out of giant dinosaurs and the cool combining/transforming vehicles and such. This is a young boy's dream. I always wondered if there was more to this, since it looked like it was a tv show and would show scenes that clearly looked like they were from other episodes. 2) last year I decided to look into the show, it was a originally a japanese show in the 70s, I watched every episode, and for the most part it was fine until the later half of it's run. You know how if they are gemini for too long they can die? Well that happens, so Jim jumps the back overlay of his sister to try and save her, and they sort of combine into what I can only call a Ultraman clone. And from that point on the show just becomes a Ultraman clone. 3) Even before the point of #2, they end up re-using a lot of the dinosaurs, there was very few unique puppets. 4) SPOILER (not that it really matters) - Emperor Tyranus is eventually killed, but you find out there was an even bigger bad in the background that Tyrannus was working for. I forget his name as this was all in japanese (with subtitles) and wasn't dubbed. At first this baddie is only represented by a pair of glowing eyes in the background that Tyrannus reports to, eventually he takes on an actual giant humanoid form. This BBEG is killed at the end of the series (yes it did reach a conclusion and proper final episode) with help from an ally that sacrifices himself to help Gemini that they meet later on. To my surprise, there is actually an episode where the base is attacked and destroyed by the super monsters, which leads to the base you see at the end credits where it flies out from next to the water. 5) After finishing the series, I realized there was multiple scenes of monsters that are scene in flashbacks, or just cut-aways that never make it into the show, scenes that look more like odd generic monsters and not dinosaurs. Monsters shown at the beginning at 0:21 and 0:45 and 0:56 and 1:08 never show up at all, looking into this, these monsters are just clips of freakin ultraman monsters. And I think the scene with the dinosaurs peacefully living underground is actually from another show as well. All in all it was a very odd dive into retro japanese TV, I really enjoyed it, despite I was disappointed by many monsters simply not showing up and only being clips from literally other shows.
Riff Trax just took care of it. Never knew about this until them. Just wow

No matter what you say, the theory is based on an explosion of gases and we know how fire and life coexist, or do we?

I wonder what made Tsuburaya decide to have animated protagonists for this series and Born Free? Surely it must've been more expensive than just having live actors. Another thing I don't get is how this localized pilot never went anywhere. It wasn't made that long before things like Voltron and Robotech came out.

It's made from a Japanese TV series called "Dinosaur War Izenborg". It's a little hard to find, especially with English subtitles, but it's worth a watch if you're a kaiju fan.
Holy shit lol, I remember watching this on VHS back at my grandparents' house in 1998 when I was 2 or 3, and have been wondering about just what it was I watched for years ever since. I could never find the VHS of it again after my family moved away from my grandparents (and neither could they), and all I could remember was a vague memory of some weird animated show mixed with live action dinosaurs/spaceships. I later grew up to become a Kaiju fan and an anime fan, but had totally forgotten all about this until very recently. Crazy how in some weird little way, this may have been subconsciously been an influence on my love of both genres all the way up till now. Life works in strange ways. Cool stuff though, even if it is just an American bastardization of Izenborg.

Nice post-Godzilla madness from TOHO. This movie is a dubbed mash-up of several episodes of a TOHO Tokusatsu series called AIZENBORG (sp). To my knowledge, this original series has not been made available to the U.S. other than this dubbed mash-up film version.... And even THIS is difficult to track down.
This is unironically a good movie imo, the original series this comes from is even better!

In fairness she didn’t actually listen to him after he hit her. He told her to wait on the ship, she refused, he slapped her to the ground and mansplained to her as he left to save Michael. Then when he was outside about to be killed by rats she comes up from behind and saves him, and once back aboard they both express that they need to stop fighting each other to keep control of the situation (as was previously mansplained). That said, yeah, that was a pretty messed up.
