MemberMothra LarvaeOctober 24, 20142160 Views6 Repliesso for the first time i watched war of the gargantuas today and it was pretty good i thought it was better than some godzilla films and was well done so now is space amoeba,varan,atragon, and frankenstein vs baragon (which i cant find anywhere to watch)
For Frankenstein look up, Frankenstein Conquers the World rather than Frankenstein vs Baragon
Hm, well on the bright side it's not really a must see so if you can't find it you're not missing much War of the Gargantuas was much better in my opinion.
War of the Gargantuas is easily one of the best Toho science fiction films out there. It completely curtails many Godzilla films. And yet, I think the [psuedo]prequel Frankenstein Conquers the World is a few notches better.
Last year Amazon got a lot of backstock of the film and I was able to order it for fairly cheap. Looks like it's gone back up in prace again.
If FvB is ever reasonably priced again, I'll definitely have to pick it up. Unfortunately, all of the other Toho sci-fi films are extremely overpriced save for Rodan, War of the Gargantuas, and a triple-feature containing Battle in Outer Space, H-Man, and Mothra.

*ahem* For those who wanna see Frankenstein vs Baragon…
And for your enjoyment and consideration, here is a list of Toho’s non-Godzilla kaiju films and personal recommendations!
Half Human- awesome, if you can find it!
Rodan- seminal, highly recommended!
The Mysterians- incredible!
Varan- underrated, definitely a great one!
The Three Treasures- Toho’s The Ten Commandments, features an 8 headed dragon! A masterpiece!
Mothra- one of the best. Period.
Gorath- slow, but the effects are perhaps the best of Tsuburaya’s career.
Matango- one of the greatest sci fi films ever made. Great for Halloween!
Atragon- awesome!!!!
Dogora- and obscure and bizarre masterwork!
Frankenstein vs Baragon- SO MUCH FUN!
War of the Gargantuas- another of the best ever made.
King Kong Escapes- wacky, borderline insane awesomeness!
Latitude Zero- must be seen to be believed. I love it!
Space Amoeba- the last of the Golden Age. Very fun!
Yamato Takeru- remake of The Three Treasures. Very colorful and fun!
Rebirth of Mothra- just beautiful!
Rebirth of Mothra II- lighthearted and fun!
Rebirth of Mothra III- a strong finish to the trilogy. You WILL shed a tear.
Hope this helps! This is just off the top of my head, but I think I got them all! :)
By the way, all of these films (with the exception of Half Human) are available on the +website in the above link…
