It will be Titanus Gappa the Prehistoric Avian Reptilian Titan from Hollow Earth and I know the fact that Gappa's Species live somewhere in Hollow Earth.

Thanks Brandon you comedic canuck. Always a pleasure to see. Fun guaranteed.

Whilst Nikkatsu did only make one monster movie, "Gappa" did fairly well at the box office in 1967. Nikkatsu was in dire straights financially and that's why they turned to porn just after this before going bankrupt in the 70s. Godzilla may be more well known, but Toho just wasn't doing as hot at this time. "Son of Godzilla" was the least successful monster film of 1967 (the year every Japanese studio released at least one monster movie). That is not to say "Son of..." bombed, it just didn't make as much money as the other films (and Toho's "King Kong Escapes" that same year did barely better). But yeah, the big money-makers that year were "Gamera vs. Gaos", "The X From Outer Space", and "Gappa." From here until 1970, Gamera would proceed to whip Toho's ass at the box office. While I'm not exactly sure I believe them, it is worth mentioning the two writers of "Gappa" claimed they never saw "Gorgo," when interviewed for "Monsters Are Invading Tokyo."

I actually read that the writers of Gappa have claimed to have never seen Gorgo. In any case, its worth noting that the American release of Gappa (which never aired in theaters here, and instead went straight to TV) has about six extra minutes of monster footage. A shame that this version hasn't been remastered in HD like the Japanese cut has.

@huntercoleman460

Жыл бұрын

I find that hard to believe since Japan is where Gorgo premiered. The biggest problem with this movie is there’s hardly anything original in it. Things in it have been done much better in other monster movies. Also fun fact: Akira Watanabe who worked as an art director on the Godzilla movies did the special effects for this movie.

Imagine if KZread was a platform where people were free to post videos as they wanted, and the viewers decided what was appropriate for themselves. That would be weird.

That Gappa casually knocking over the building after staring at it was HILARIOUS. Reminds me of my cat when he’s hungry and I’m fucking around instead of feeding him.

If they made this into a kid's show, they could call it "Yo, Gappa Gappa!", especially since there are two of them.

I've actually owned a copy of Gappa since I was a child cause my mom got it for me thinking it was a Godzilla movie. I always wished there was a sequel or remake for this, same with Gorgo

Wow, I actually suggested this in the comments of the “Repo Men” video. I doubt that’s why Brandon chose it, but it’s still cool to see. I rented this from Netflix back when they mailed DVDs to your house. I wouldn’t blame Brandon if he never did another Toho movie. It would be real frustrating to do all the work of making the video only to have it taken down.

Hey Brandon! Always good to see kaiju films getting some love (or ridicule). Here's a fun fact: Akira Watanabe, SPFX Director for this film, was part of TOHO's SPFX team for the original Godzilla (GOJIRA) and King Kong vs. Godzilla before securing his own gig with the indie company that produced GAPPA.

Oh God this move brings me memories. Here in Mexico is kind of difficult to get your hands on movies like these by legal ways... So back in the day I sailed the dark side of the web and got a collection of Japanese Kaiju movies, some of them were in English, like this one. My friends didn't really like them,but sometimes when we were nerding out for day, we'd put some of them in the background and let them play. One time, a girl friend of us decided to join us and this movie was playing when she arrived... When the scenes with the guy telling the girl to quit and become a housewife played, she lost her mind... Heck, she dragged us out of playing AOE and to watch the movie... She was terrified, amused and offended by the movie. Ultimately culminating in her laughing at how silly and crazy the movie was... Good times xD

Fun Fact: Nikkatsu is actually Japan's oldest film studio, having started back in 1912 during the silent era and therefore actually predating Toho and its mainstream imitators like Toei! 😲 In fact, its name is actually an amalgamation of three words literally translated in English to "Japan Motion Pictures." Putting aside its pinku eiga and Roman Porno films, it was also notable for featuring the work of famed Japanese New Wave directors Seijun Suzuki and Shohei Imamura and series like STRAY CAT ROCK starring the one and only Meiko Kaji of LADY SNOWBLOOD and FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION fame!!!

With all the jokes of a two parents being furious that their kidnapped child was being used in a sex magazine and a theme park land based off a pervert, I was half expecting a "groomers" reference.

Only thing missing now is the original Yonggary movie and my favorite VHS box set is complete.
