MemberBaragonOct-24-2014 3:25 PMHm, 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.

AdminGodzillaOct-24-2014 3:30 PMWar 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.

MemberMothra LarvaeOct-24-2014 6:07 PMIf 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.

MemberBaragonOct-24-2014 7:44 PM*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…
