Synopsis
The War of the Gargantuas (1966) is a Toho kaiju spectacle you can watch online on iFILM. A green giant lunges out of the sea onto a fishing boat, and Tokyo is once again in the path of something enormous.
The survivor's description points the scientists back to a creature once raised in their lab. The green one, Gaira, grew up in the ocean and feeds on people. Then his brown brother Sanda comes down from the mountains — gentle, loyal to humans, and ready to fight his own kin. Two giants sprung from the same cells end up on opposite sides while the city pays the price.
Directed by Ishirō Honda of the original Godzilla, with effects by Eiji Tsuburaya, the film pairs American lead Russ Tamblyn with Kumi Mizuno. The monster brawls play out against a miniature nighttime Tokyo that still looks terrific for 1966. Rubber-suit devotees and old-school Toho fans should not skip it.
