Viewing Notes

Often confuse this one with Terror of Mechagodzilla. I love the Okinawa setting and the big reveal. Somewhere there must be an essay on why Japan likes to make its aliens look like Apes. I’d like to a think a reference exists that lists all the instances of ape / gorilla aliens in Japanese television and film.
