This is a Thai idol that protects the world from an invasion by extraterrestrial giants.  Edited from the Tsuburaya-Chaiyo co-production Jumborg Ace & Giant (1974), combining the special effects footage with newly shot drama scenes featuring a Taiwanese cast to create a loose adaptation of the original story that jettisons the connections to Tah Tien (1973) and Jumborg Ace (1973).

Viewing Notes

This is wild! A Thai re-edit of the Jumborg Ace film then dubbed in modern English. Not good but oddly fascinating. Would be a good B-Fest flick.
