From the director of the original GODZILLA comes FRANKENSTEIN VS BARAGON (or as it's also known in cult-movie circles, FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD). In 1945, a human heart in a Japanese lab is exposed to the intense radiation from the atomic bomb, causing the heart to grow into a full body. The result is a wild child, complete with the iconic flat-top head that earns him the name "Frankenstein." The boy grows to giant proportions, and he is invincible against attacks from the authorities. But when a giant reptile wreaks havoc, only Frankenstein can match him in a fight. This sci-fi film from 1965 blends Japanese monster movies with the tradition of Mary Shelley's classic character.

Description:

GODZILLA 2000: Godzilla (Tsutomo Kitagawa) is back and this time he's trying to smash and destroy all of Japan's nuclear reactors and power plants. In this 23rd film in the cult series of monster movies that began in 1954, GODZILLA 2000 beckons the giant, indestructible lizard from his hiding place deep in the ocean. A local scientist (Takehiro Murata) who tries to decode the giant lizard's motives and predict where his next terrifying steps will land concludes that there must be a reason why Godzilla has emerged from the sea. However, when a 6,000-year-old meteor surfaces from the bottom of the ocean and turns into a spaceship, Godzilla--along with the entire population of Japan--is overwhelmed by chaos, crisis, and hysteria. Yuki (Naomi Nishidi), a local journalist trying to get a close-up shot of Godzilla, along with Shinoda (Takehiro Murata) and his kid daughter (Mayu Sizuki), form a guerilla research group called the GPN (Godzilla Prediction Network). They are the "good guys," making the CCI (Crisis Control Intelligence), headed up by a hilariously nihilistic Katagiri (Hiroshi Abe), the "bad guys." Takao Okawara's GODZILLA 2000 is perfectly consistent with its predecessors: the monsters are nasty and ferocious and they wipe out every skyscraper in Tokyo, literally leveling the city. The film brings back all the old tricks, with special effects akin to the Godzilla films of yore and plenty of monster mania. GODZILLA VS. DESTROYAH: Will Godzilla be the source of his own downfall? The atomic particles that give Godzilla his powers are on the verge of meltdown, and the evil oxygen-destroying monster Destroyah, Godzilla's most formidable opponent, has invaded the earth. Can he defeat Destroyah before he self-destructs? An excellent, introspective chapter in the Godzilla saga. GODZILLA VS. SPACE GODZILLA: When a devious Godzilla clone arrives from outerspace to ravage the earth, Godzilla, Junior Godzilla, and Mogera--a giant robot created to destroy Godzilla--must team up to protect their planet. All the while, a team of psychics attempt to control Godzilla telepathically, much to the annoyance of the radioactive lizard. GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA: This classic science fiction epic pits the fire-breathing monster Godzilla against a giant webspinning moth. Two mysterious tiny twin girls hold the secret to the control of the destructive insect which nearly destroys Japan. GODZILLA VS. KING GHIDORA: missaries from the future arrive in Japan with a shocking proposal: travel back through time to eliminate the monster that would become the fearsome Godzilla. But are their motives pure, or are they merely the puppets of Godzilla's newest foe, King Ghidora? A monster "mano a mano" is sure to ensue, in the best "Godzilla" tradition. GODZILLA VS. MONTER ZERO: A heroic space pilot battles the controller of Planet X. The evil ruler's aim is to destroy the Earth with the assistance of several powerful monsters. GODZILLA VS. MEGARIUS: In an effort to get rid of Godzilla once and for all, Japan develops a device which is supposed to open up a black hole, allowing its people to blast the giant city-stomping lizard creature into another dimension. While the hole is opened, an insect from that other dimension sneaks through and lays an egg, which finds its way into the sewers of Tokyo. Before long, a swarm of alien insects--which feed on Godzilla's energy--are wreaking their own brand of havoc on Japan and its citizens. GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA: According to legend, when the people of Okinawa are in danger, a monster will appear to save them. The legend is put to the test as a monstrous Cyborg threatens to destroy the Earth.

Description:

This double feature contains two films starring the legendarily monstrous ape King Kong. Dating from the 1960s, both films were made by Japanese director Ishiro Honda. KING KONG VS. GODZILLA: When a Japanese businessman named Mr. Tako hears that a native tribe on the island of Farou possesses abnormally large berries, he sends his employees Sakuri and Furue to retrieve the fruit. Better yet, he tells them to also capture King Kong, a gorilla monster who has become gigantic as a result of eating the berries. On their way back to Japan, the team wrestles to gain control over the enormous and powerful creature, who breaks free just as another notorious monster, Godzilla, is released from the block of ice where he's been hidden for the last seven years. KING KONG ESCAPES: In another King Kong installment by Ishiro Honda, the giant ape monster's skills are required for a science project by Doctor Who and his helpers. When a mechanically devised robot version of the creature cannot do the job, the team of scientists must go and retrieve the real King Kong himself. But no sooner do they get their hands on the enormous beast than they realize they are no match for a creature of his size. Calling on his robotic imposter for help, the scientists unknowingly bring terror upon themselves.
