a.k.a. Space Monster Dagora, Uchu daikaijû Dogora
Japan, 1964
Dagora, The Space Monster
Starring Yosuke Natsuki, Yôko Fujiyama.
Directed by Ishiro Honda.

Ever wanted to see a heist-film-turned-giant-monster-movie? Well, you could watch Godzilla vs the Sea Monster, but there's also Dagora, the Space Monster. When detectives go looking for a missing truck of diamonds, they don't find jewel thieves, they find 100-foot-long jellyfish monsters with tentacles and a hunger for anything made of carbon. (So technically, it's "space monsters," plural, but who keeps track?) Does your diamond insurance cover "ingestion by alien?"
