FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD 1965 (TOKYO SHOCK)

Nick Adams and Kumi Mizuno star in this offbeat but very cool tale about a young boy who actually eats the heart of the Frankenstein monster and begins to grow at an alarming rate.

The boy was abandoned after the Atomic Bomb was dropped and ate the heart for food and now has been contaminated with radiation. The boy grows so large he escapes and flees into the dense woods only to be attacked by a huge prehistoric monster named Barugon. The two fight to the death in one of the best battles ever filmed by Toho, at least in my opinion.

Mizuno is sexy as always and I will watch anything with her in it. If you are a Japanese monster movie fan you won't want to miss this two disc set which includes the American version, Japanese version and deleted scenes such as the boy fighting a giant octopus.

There is a connection between this movie and War of the Gargantuas but it is obscured due to editing. Recommended!!
