Oakland Tribune - June 25, 1959 |
It took four years for the quickie sequel to the first Godzilla movie to reach theaters and drive-ins in the United States.
When it arrived its title, storyline, and characterizations were altered, of course, to better suit the questionable attitudes of the day. Not that the original version was all that better, though. Both are talky and feature special effects that, because of an error in film speed, lack the look and feel of the first, and far more serious, film.
Coupled with Gigantis The Fire Monster would be Teenagers from Outer Space, a notorious no-budget cheapie about nefarious aliens attempting to turn Earth into a breeding ground for giant, carnivorous lobster-like creatures.
