    Two incredible classic Toho Studios films in one double disc set! Not only do you get the original Rodan standalone origin story film, you also get the underrated Gargantuas movie featuring dancing sensation Russ Tamblyn! Set features both Japanese and English versions. These are essential additions to any Godzilla fan’s archive. Four stars!

  • Toho Gem

    War of the Gargantuas is probably the best of the Japanese giant monster flicks. The creatures are like two super huge Bigfoots battling it out to the death. One of the too creatures is gentle and poignantly cares for even the evil creature. But when the green one (the evil one is green) eats people, the good creature (brown Gargantua) engages in a battle to the death with his emerald brother. Like King Kong, their is a lovely woman involved, but much more rationally, the big beasty isn't really interested in her so much as he is just trying to protect her and everyone else from his evil brother. This movie also has one more advantage which most other giant monster movies don't; the brown Gargantua is more identifiable with the audience because he is more humanoid, and the green Gargantua is more repulsive because when he eats humans. It is almost tantamount to cannibalism, since he is also humanoid himself. It is a very entertaining movie and I hope it gets a big budget remake some day.

  • The Words Get Stuck In My Throat

    That song alone is reason enough to purchase this DVD. But overall, I love these old films and can't get enough of them. There is something about this genre that's both entertaining and oddly comforting. As simple as the effects are in these films, you can still tell a lot of thought was put into them. Whether it's Rodan or War of the Gargantuas, it's a sure fire fun evening, so pop the corn, chill the sodas and have a good time.

  • Two Toho classics in Japanese and English versions

    Two of among Toho's greatest kaiju non-Godzilla Showa Era movies truly both classics and including the U.S. and Japanese theatrical cuts! This set has been out of print for years but was worth it to complete my kaiju movie collection!

  • Two classic TOHO movies

    The stand alone Rodan movie is merely ok but War of the Gargantuas is truly one of the finest giant monster films ever made. I only wish that Frankenstein Conquers the World was included rather than Rodan as the Gargantuas film is a sequel to the Frankenstein film.

  • Best monster movie ever!

    I’ve been watching this movie since the early 70’s. It’s my all time favorite monster movie. I have 2 DVD copies and the digital copy on my iPhone before iTunes removed it. Just love it.
