    7:54 Actually, they almost did. I’m reading a biography on Ishiro Honda and apparently in the book, it had quotes from the crew members where they were saying that Russ Tamblyn was just a big egotistical jerk. And at one point Ishiro Honda, who is arguably one of the most gentle and selfless people, actually had to hold himself back from slugging him. And Henry G. Saperstein agreed saying “Nick Adams… was a consummate pro and blended in very easily. Tamblyn was a royal pain in the ass.”

    Haruo Nakajima was particularly fond of this role as it was one of the few monster performances where he could show part of his face, in this case his eyes, and could emote with his face. He also gives 110% with the lighter suit and the scenes of Gaira hauling ass are still notably cool.

    They do not that. In the Japanese version, Sanda's origins are still obscure and convoluted. He may have grown from Frankenstein's severed hand, maybe not. He may have grown from the cells of Frankenstein, maybe not. Now, in early drafts of the script (back when Dr. Bowen and Sueko were the main characters) Sanda was Frankenstein having survived the last film. But in the film as is, it's still frustratingly obtuse.

    Something that should be noted about this movie, which this reviewer didn't note cause he's to busy delivering a MST3K impersonation - it's one of the few of these "kaiju's" that actually manages to be successfully SCARY at times. There are actually some pretty FRIGHTENING scenes in THIS flick, like that one in which which these two guys look down over the edge of a boat they're on and see this monsters hideous visage just below the waters transparent surface looking up at them hungrily ( shown briefly at 5:42 ), THAT's truly classic! There's also a pretty creepy and disturbing scene ( that wasn't shown in this video review ) where the malevolent green monster EATS a person on camera - puts her in his mouth and chews her! ! One of the FEW times in these kaiju movies you actually saw a monster do something like that directly to a human being ( they were usually just shown smashing buildings ).

    This is why you don't go to Japan in the 60's and make Kaiju flicks. Kipp Hamilton was a semi-well known actress/model/singer during that era with a fair number of screen, TV credits, and a nightclub act. And what will she go down in cinematic history for? the defining moment of her career.? Singing "The Words Get Stuck in My Throat" and being slammed by a Gargantua. (Actually one of the greatest scenes in Kaiju cinema IMO.)
