War of the Gargantuas, The

a.k.a. Frankenstein's Monsters: Sanda vs. Gaira
Japan, 1966
War of the Gargantuas, The
Starring Russ Tamblyn, Kumi Mizuno, Kenji Sahara.
Directed by Ishiro Honda.

A semi-sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World, this movie features two hairy giants loose in Japan. The brown one, Sanda, is freindly to humans, while the green one, Gaira likes to eat humans. While Sanda tries to get his giant brother under control the Japanese army decides that the only good giant monster is a dead giant monster. Obviously made with U.S. in mind (hence Russ Tamblyn in the main character), War of the Gargantuas still has more than it's share of surreal moments, especially the musical number thankfully interrupted by Gaira.
