Frankenstein Conquers the World (1965)


American International Pictures
Directed by Ishiro Honda
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Tokyo Shock)

Frankenstein's heart was saved by Nazis in Germany and taken to Hiroshima in Japan. After the atomic bomb, a wild boy is seen running around the streets. He is found and captured as a teenager. He starts to grow when fed properly, becoming a giant. He escapes when photographers blind him with their flash bulbs. Meanwhile, and earthquake unleashes a giant monster known as Baragon, who kind of looks like an armadillo with a horn. The giant Frankenstein gets blamed for the death and destruction, but he proves them wrong by beating Baragon in a wrestling match. One of the more ridiculous Japanese monster movies, but cannot deny it is entertaining.
