About War of the Monsters
An expedition goes out to a remote island to find a priceless opal. This opal happens to be the egg of the powerful Barugon, a huge lizard-like monster that can freeze foes with its long tongue or disintegrate them with its devastating rainbow ray. When Gammera begins to fight Barugon, several plans begin to stop both monsters and keep the damage of Japan at a minimum.
Directed by Shigeo Tanaka, War of the Monsters leans on a strong ensemble — Ted Rusoff, Silvia Faver, Robert Sommer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1967.
