Why do you have a *special* Luger? How is it special? Why do you have a *special Luger* old man hiding in a house in the woods far from civilization?

The main attraction is sexism!
Two movies in a row where an old man has a model made over a possible volcano.

Oooh. Giant set of glowing eyes under the water looks great.
Man I haven't seen Gappa in so long maybe it is better than I thought?

Oh right. We do a little island racism like every King Kong or Mothra movie.
That'd be why I remember this as a good bad movie. Good kaiju, bad brown face.

Oh hey they made a life sized ruined statue. Neat. That statue already has more budget put into it and art than In The Year 2889.

Cool cave lake set. With glowing eyes! Mama and Papa are angy.

The cave and this mountainside set both feel really big for the adult Gappa. Maybe it's just the filming but it's neat to have what feels like bigger than normal kaiju sets.

What is the tariff charge on importing a kaiju like these days?

I've always liked how the Gappa are just bipedal griffins with lizard tails.

Gappa was Nikkatsu's first and only kaiju movie for near 50 years. Eventually they finianced a handful of kaiju movies like Death Kappa and live action Attach on Titan movies.

Wait. There was a volcano mention in both films. Both ended with a kinda "have babies plz" message. I'm not sure of the theming lately has been accidental or intentional for Double Features. Hmmm. @miru

I've always liked Gappa. But it is kind of a mid kaiju movie. Nothing wrong with it (aside from the obvious brownface...). Just not much that stands out. Kaiju family is cool, but we already have Gorgo. The sets the monsters are on are good and feel big but none of them are stunning (maybe the cave?). It's fine. Gappa is a fine kaiju movie.
Digital Mark λ ☕️ 8647@strangefour Yeah, average & adequate. But so many are terrible, it seems like it should be better.
