This trashy Japanese giant-monster film was supposed to be a sequel to the equally trashy FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD. At the last minute the filmmakers decided to toss out the connections this film had to its predecessor. THE WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS tells the tale of a pair of twin monsters, sort of ape-like creatures, one brown and one green. The evil green monster wants to destroy Japan, and his virtuous brown brother spends the rest of the movie trying to stop him. After much destruction has occurred, the army shoots the green monster down, and the brown one takes pity on his sibling and nurses him back to health, in the hope that he will abandon his war on humans. Unfortunately, once the green monster is healthy again, he sets out to wreak new havoc on Tokyo, forcing his usually passive sibling to finally stand up and fight. The results of the battle are never seen because a volcano conveniently explodes, smothering both monsters. leave a comment
