| | Availability:
Usually ships in 1 business days | | | Known to Stateside moviegoers as Godzilla on Monster Island, this slight but fun 1972 entry in the Godzilla franchise pits the King of the Monsters and four-legged cohort Angilas against aliens bent on world domination, as well as their old nemesis, the space dragon King Ghidorah, and a new creature, the birdlike cyborg Gigan. Diehard G-fans may be disappointed by the film's kid-friendly tone (a shift in direction signaled several years earlier by Godzilla's Revenge) and its overreliance on stock footage from other Godzilla films to depict the monsters' orgy of destruction, as well as an unfortunate decision to make Godzilla "talk"; however, children (Gigan's real audience) will undoubtedly enjoy the frantic action. Parents should know that there are two brief moments of blood-letting (Godzilla and Angilas both suffer wounds from a buzzsaw that juts from Gigan's torso), but otherwise, the film is free of objectionable material. --Paul Gaita | | | |

 Let's repeat the same shot over and over and over and over... Apr 11, 2008
I'm easy when it comes to Godzilla movies. I even like Godzilla's Revenge and Godzilla vs. Megalon. But this one disappointed me a bit. I think because the final fight scene sucked so freakin' bad. There were a few signs of hope like a couple of bloody parts, but overall, it was quite bad. And as for his little sidekick, he was only a diversion. He didn't do a single thing until the very end basically. The first part of the fight was seemingly in slow motion and you couldn't tell what the heck was going on.
As I've said before about Zilla flicks is, you can't expect a good movie when watching this, but at least you can have a lot of fun watching it. For example, the acting was so bad in this, it was good. There was some Japanese hippie somehow tied into the story and most of the movie he is gnawing on some sort of phallic food. Also, the two main ladies in the movie were quite appealing to the eyes as well. I would suggest this movie only to people that want to finalize there Godzilla DVD collection.

 Bored? In need of a cheesy B-flick? Godzilla vs Gigan is for you! Mar 07, 2007
I am sick, so I decided to get a Big G movie. My friend and I love old cheesy movies, especially Godzillas. I got G vs Gigan and G: Final Wars (Which I am also righting a review about). G vs Gigan didn't disappoint me. I laughed and laughed over the cheesy fight scenes and the pathetic antics of the moronic Japenese actors. The aliens in this Godzilla are actually (of course) cockroaches from outer space! (Seriously. I kid you not.) I used the English dub for a short while but then simply opted for the Japanese voiceovers and English subtitles. The English dub was a collection of fifty year old voice actors. (Sad). But, now to what really matters: the monsters. There are four main ones in this movie, and a collection of small appearances. Godzilla (of course) is the hero, and then there's his sidekick, Anguiras. The little armodillo gets smacked around and beaten up, and is really no help. The villians are Gigan, a cyborg razor blade, and King Ghidorah. Gigan looks pretty cool, but King Ghidorah is done very poorly (I don't mind). At the beggining of the movie, Godzilla stomps out. I though he looked really pathetic until he roared. That trademark roar changed everything, and suddenly he was awesomeness itself. Anguirus is the best done monster. He looks pretty nice. There are several battle sequences, all cheesy the way I like it. In one scene where Gigan and King Ghidorah rampage through Tokyo (for the millioth time), Gigan actually stomps past a building with two dolls inside. Little Kelly Dolls with rosy cheeks! Little shrimps! Sad, but hilarious. So, all in all, you get what you expect. GET IT if you like Godzilla or cheesy B-flicks. DON'T GET IT if you dislike Godzilla, cheesy B-flicks, or girly Japanese 70s actors (and a talking Godzilla.) Good stuff, I say.
4 Stars for Ghidorah fans only Apr 05, 2006
I was going to rate this three stars but I rated it four stars becaue I am a King Ghidorah fan (he is my 2nd favorite Kaiju, slightly behind Rodan)
It's still good but not as good as most other G-films. Gigan is a decent opponent but there was a lot of stock footage. Seeing stock footage badly used in a movie is weird. Normally, movies don't have stock footage. Anyway, G fights Gigan a lot and King Ghidorah helps gigan at times. anguirus tries to help G but ends up getting beaten up through most of the fight scene. The monster/ttack fight scene, from where King Ghidorah and Gigan attack Tokyo onwards, is about 40 minutes long. It would have been better if the original footage were set during the day (because stock footage was set during the day). One thing that would have made this movie much better is if Rodan had been in it instead of Anguirus.

Gigan is one of the Coolest Godzilla Foes Yet! Oct 21, 2005
Gigan is a cool Godzilla villain and proves to make a great team with King Ghidorah. They could have beat Godzilla if Godzilla didn't have any help from Anguirus. The reason for four stars is becauase Godzilla and Anguirus talk! I do not like the Showa series in the slightest. My favorite is the Millinium series I think. Anyway, it's a descent Godzilla movie. I like it.
