Viewing Notes

I totally enjoyed this:  Godzilla vs. a giant lobster, and a secret terrorist group called the Red Bamboo.  What’s not to like?  One of the highlights is Ebirah making a shish-kebab out of two escaping islanders.

I Love this movie! It’s underrated, IMO, but it has so many fun aspects like the criminal being on the boat, the Red Bamboo, Kumi as the native girl, obv all the Godzilla and Ebirah playing catch or whatever. and ofc a cool Mothra appearance. It’s a fun time.
