The Starfish-like monster is from the first Ultraman series. It's a petroleum eating creature called Pestar. Your observation about the creature dying on its own is correct. In the episode Oil SOS, it dies from smoke inhalation from raging petroleum fires. Rather than defeating the monster, Ultraman really just extinguishes the fires.

On the plus side, it does say a lot about the quality of the Ultra Series' cinematography that the monsters can be spliced in to a film over a decade newer than it this easily.
This unauthorized extravaganza is so disjointed & all over the place that it becomes curiously watchable…just to see in what direction they go next.
The so-called ending reminds me of the MONTY PYTHON skit about a movie producer who makes low budget, blink and you'll miss it remakes of famous movies, such as a minute long version of REAR WINDOW which is just a guy sticking his head in and out of his apartment window and gesturing wildly.
Ok, dude, the monster that looks like a dinosaur fucked a virus in this film is Verokron, AN ULTRAMAN ACE MONSTER! Meaning they did use Ultraman Ace footage, just not the one where Dorgorie tears Muruchi apart. In fact, here's a list of all the monsters that appeared: Flying Bird Boy - Terochilos, an Ultraman Jack monster Bat Boytron - Pestar, an Ultraman monster Tricerasaurus Rex - Dorigon, a Fireman monster Kitedon - Bemstar, an Ultraman Jack monster Rhino Doggo - Seamons, an Ultraman Jack monster Bigger Rhino Doggo - Seagorath, an Ultraman Jack monster Let me know if this clears anything up.

If you want real hardcore Japanese monster gore and violence, I recommend seeing the 70s Kamen Rider Amazon series. We got plenty of torn monster limbs and decapitations for days in that one.
Toho would still flag the footage as they have distinct copyright on ALL their Kaiju, not just Godzilla. In fact each Kaiju has to be individually licensed rather then as a block. (Just look at the back of Godzilla model or toy and you'll see a little logo for the Kaiju that are int he product.)

Recently I saw a Batman film from the Philippines. It had never been shown in the US because it was unauthorized.More then one of these have been made. Since the fact that one was shown on "The Monster Channel" recently, at least one still exists. If you can locate any of these, it might be fun to review these.

Great video! Funny how the movie explains them as dinosaurs but some of them like Bemstar (kaitodon) and Verokron (virus dinosaur) are aliens in their original context. Interestingly enough, one of the monsters, the triceratops one, is from Fireman, a sister series to Ultraman also by Tsuburaya, interesting change of footage.

In case you don't know, the kaiju featured in this movie are Verokron (the dinosaur/virus hybrid), Terochilus (the chicken/pterodactyl hybrid), Pestar (the starfish/bat hybrid), Dorigon (the Triceratops kaiju), Bemstar (the Fearsome Kiteodon), Seamons (the one that looks like Rhyhorn), and Seagorath (the one that looks like Rhydon).
such great quality what a refreshing change
Love the way the cartoon you is ignoring the battle in the background while "whewing" or whistling over the cracking egg.
The red and black coral dragon is Verokron from Ultraman Ace (So, yeah, they could have used that rpping-off the jaw footage). The starfish bat is Pestar from the original Ultraman.

Is there a sequel that uses unauthorized footage from Johnny Sokko, only without Giant Robot?
At least Sompote Sands had no involvement with this fi- *VIDEO CLAIMED BY TOHO* What?! How is that possible?!
While I fully admit this may be up to personal interpretation... I have also watched this movie, and I think the dinosaur-virus monster that the doctor says the little girl hallucinated she actually DID hallucinate, as like a trauma response to seeing the bird monster earlier, as dino-virus is never seen again in the movie and, as you said, a full scale attack on the city like that would be rather hard for everyone to miss.
