About this product

Product Information

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.

Brilliant! I had heard this was a good film, but I was greatly surprised that this was a GREAT film!
This is the first film in the TOHO Frankenstein two film series of the Frankenstein Monster in Japan. It's fantastic, better than I could have hoped for. Please get the full deluxe edition with the Japanese version, it will help you enjoy this wickedly wild tale! Bravo! ( the 2nd film is "War of the Gargantuans" - Brad Pit's favorite mounter movie )

A great DVD with many features
A very nice DVD edition of an obscure kaiju movie! Didn’t even realize it was a 2 disc feature so even better. And at a decent value, would highly recommend to any avid Godzilla fan!

Great addition to both the Frankenstein/Godzilla type Movies!
What a great blending of both the Universal Mary Shelly type monster and the Terrific work done by Inoshera Honda's Godzilla Group. Most people don't know that this is even where the Gargantua's came from? Even Baragon fighting Frankenstein what a cool concept. Cool movie when I was a kid, and even cooler as an adult. I really appreciate Godzilla type movies. I remember "Monster Week' when I was a little boy growing up in Detroit, and the whole school would run home to catch Godzilla movies! Guess I never grew out of that. Absolutely love this movie just like the rest. Thanks, Scott in Detroit "Monster Fan"! "Frankenstein Conquers the World" is funny,entertaining,and in my opinion is a classic!!!! They sure don't make em like this anymore...

Don’t sleep on this underrated classic!
It took me a long time to actually get around to seeing this movie since it is not streaming anywhere, but boy oh boy was it worth the wait! If you loved Nick Adams in Invasion of Astro Monster, you will find him every bit as awesome in this film as well! The rest of the cast is a veritable Who’s Who of classic Toho stock players, and everyone is excellent. This movie can be considered a prequel to War of the Gargantuas. First appearance of Baragon too I believe. Great action and terrific soundtrack as you might expect. Five stars!

AWESOME
Good quality product. Ships fast no problems. Will do business with again! This is a great old movie everybody should see it at least once. There is kind of a sequel to this movie named "War of the Gargantuas" another must see movie. I recommend them both.

Lost and found
I ordered this film as it's one my favorites.I remember seeing this film when I was 5 years old on WXEX TV 8 in Richmond,VA in 1970. Then saw again in 1978 and tried in vain to find it. It's great I found this in DVD /Blu-Ray format It has both the American and Japanese versions plus extras. This is such a great value !

Great prequel to War of the Gargantuas
I finally got to see the prequel to War of the Gargantuas which I saw as a kid and was freaked out by the bad one eating a woman and then spitting out her dress, which I am sure inspired Attack on Titan. There was a lot of good locations in the film and great acting. I highly recommend this one to all Kaiju fans.

All time Toho classic
Are rare gem of a film. I loved the story and voice dubbing was excellent there were no cartoony characters. The fight scenes were really the highlights for this flix.
