Product Description

Product Description

Imagine the fun at the new, high-tech, Tokyo amusement park with its gargantuan make-believe monsters and mechanized rides. But this pastoral playground is nothing more than a staging ground for destruction as a strange group of orange-uniformed "men" unleash a force of devastation the likes of which has never been known. They call their insatiable monster robot Gigan , built specifically to destroy Godzilla(r). But there's more. To assist Gigan , they enlist the help of King Ghidorah , the infamous three-headed flying hydra. The forces Godzilla(r) to recruit his former foe, the stegosaurus-like Anguirus , in what turns out to be the most radical monster tag-team match-up of all time.

Amazon.com

Known to Stateside moviegoers as Godzilla on Monster Island, this slight but fun 1972 entry in the Godzilla franchise pits the King of the Monsters and four-legged cohort Angilas against aliens bent on world domination, as well as their old nemesis, the space dragon King Ghidorah, and a new creature, the birdlike cyborg Gigan. Diehard G-fans may be disappointed by the film's kid-friendly tone (a shift in direction signaled several years earlier by Godzilla's Revenge) and its overreliance on stock footage from other Godzilla films to depict the monsters' orgy of destruction, as well as an unfortunate decision to make Godzilla "talk"; however, children (Gigan's real audience) will undoubtedly enjoy the frantic action. Parents should know that there are two brief moments of blood-letting (Godzilla and Angilas both suffer wounds from a buzzsaw that juts from Gigan's torso), but otherwise, the film is free of objectionable material. --Paul Gaita

Arrived on time and in mint condition, very happy to own the English audio version bluray, great quality Image and you can see much more than the old VHS and dvd but maybe since I was a kid I didn't notice anything other than awesome monsters tail-whipping one another and that's what I love seeing still!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best 'Bad' Godzilla Movie
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2014
Verified Purchase
Despite criticisms that the Japanese Godzilla films were always cheap, low-brow entertainment the Toho sci-fi films of the '50s and '60s were actually big productions of the time, and well directed (often by Ishiro Honda) and with smart scripts (a lot of the intentional humor is lost in the English dubbing). I mean, look at a movie like Mothra: a great, fable-esque story; great songs; hilarious at times; and visually spectacular. Compare it to any US sci-fi film of the same era!

... but things got more bare-bones as the years went on. The Japanese film industry was in a pinch by the '70s and Godzilla felt the brunt of it, bad. By this film we had simple scripts, mostly aimed at small kids; tons of stock footage to pad out monster scenes; and just a greatly reduced budget in all areas. These are the cheesy Godzilla films of legend... but, they're a whole lot of fun. As a matter of fact, of all the notoriously 'bad' Godzilla films this one might be the best. It has so much wrong with it but you just don't care. Goofy charm pervades the whole thing, from the comic book aesthetic (comics had experiences a huge boom at the time and this movie specifically tried to tap into it. Sadly, this print of the movie for international distribution lacks monsters speaking via word balloons as in the Japanese print), to the goofy band of human heroes who end up saving the world, and monsters who act specifically like a set of tag-team wrestling partners. What can I say? It works.

Watch with the tongue-in-cheek (and Australian accented) English language dub for extra comedy.

And watch for the Godzilla suit: this film was so cheap they couldn't afford building a new Godzilla suit so they used one already used in 3 previous films. By the end of the film Godzilla is literally tearing to pieces onscreen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gigan is one of the most awesome Kaiju!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016

Godzilla Vs. Gigan made in 1972 directed by Jun Fukuda is one of my favorite Godzilla/Kaiju films from all time. Godzilla and Angorius battle King Ghidorah the three headed monster and the new Kaiju coming from deep space Gigan. His weird hooked appendages give him a really creepy look. Sure there are some parts in the movie that drive the true Godzilla fangirls and boys nuts especially in the dubbed version. Godzilla and Angorius appear to have a conversation. Now since when did this happen? In the Japanese language version this doesn't really happen, but in the dubbed version they have a conversation which makes all of us old schoolers cringe. That said, This is a must have for any Godzilla fan due to the utter coolness of Gigan.
Just as a rule of thumb, parents don't go out and buy these films for your 4 year old because you remember them from your childhood. The dubbed versions have language in them and the subbed versions do as well. So no don't buy this for your toddler, buy this because you LOVE GODZILLA!

Trying to find Godzilla Vs Gigan in English is a journey in itself. This is a classic battle between two titans and the best part is that I can watch it in English without reading subtitles. Great movie for Godzilla fans.

Once again, crafty aliens have taken up residence on Earth. Disguised as people, these bug-aliens plot to takeover the world! Using a peace theme park as their hideout, these bugs only have one thing to worry about. Okay, two, besides Anguirus and Godzilla, a team of tenacious humans bent on exposing their nefarious scheme. Standing in their way are King Ghidorah and Gigan. (How Gigan got top billing over King Ghidorah is anyone’s guess.)
Best use of aversion therapy to stop kids from smoking........bugged cigarettes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Godzilla Cleans House.
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2015

This entry in the Godzilla series, has some amusing aspects. The talks between Godzilla and anguirus are a hoot, the former enemies have become fast friends. It must be recalled that Godzilla killed the Anguirus in "Godzilla Raids Again". But thats another story, in this entry, they both slug it out with Gigan and King Ghidorah. The action scenes are very good, at first Godzilla takes a licking, as does Anguirus, but good monsters can't be kept down for long. The evil humans lose control of their creatures, and they and Gigan and King Ghidorah are defeated. Probably not the best entry in the series, but still entertaining. JRV

Note: credit sequence is English only. Affordably priced and print isn't bad at all. Eng. and Japanese soundtrack available. The "word bubble" monster conversation (Oy!Angiras!" "Nan dai?") is missing the word bubbles as well. If you can live with that, this DVD isn't a bad way to own this film.
