Kaiju Fever: The War Of The Gargantuas (1966)

Sequel to Frankenstein vs the World, featuring giant hairy frankenstein monsters Gaira and Sanda as well as a giant octopus. The film straight off delves into monster action with one of the Gargantua's battling a giant octopus and has plenty of other monster action goodness throughout. The plot is your standard 'investigate,uncover and take down' but works fine with the amount of action we get, so it's still very enjoyable.
The monster suits look pretty creepy, especially the faces and I really like the conflicting personalities that Gaira and Sanda have which adds nice dynamic to the film, it also has an ending that is very similar to Rodan's ending that kind of works but is a little underwhelming.
Overall this is pretty good film with lots of fun kaiju action to keep your attention.
