Frankenstein Girl Conquers Baragon's Heart!

Frankenstein's Heart is acquired by Nazis, who bring it along on a doomed nuclear submarine voyage. Years later, a kid in Tarzan getup and Boris Karloff makeup is found roaming Japan, eating bunnies. In time, the boy grows to giant proportions and is accused of gobbling people up. The real culprit is Baragon, a burrowing dinosaur who, you know, just happened to be in the neighborhood. One of the most adorable fight scenes in cinema history ensues. Oh, and Nick Adams, too. Such is the plot of the oddly titled "Frankenstein Conquers The World", AKA "Frankenstein VS Baragon", AAKA my all time favorite kaiju film. There's just so much to love about this film: the insane plot, Baragon's design, the token American actor among the Japanese regulars, and the alternate ending featuring the giant octopus from "King Kong VS Godzilla". Also recommended is the loose sequel "War Of The Gargantua", where there are now two giant Frankensteins, one good and one evil.
