宇宙大怪獣ドゴラ
Japan • 1964
Director
Synopsis
With DOGORA, Toho and director Ishiro Honda unleashed one of their wildest and weirdest creatures: a giant, jellyfish-like tentacled terror who descends from outer space and proceeds to consume the Earth’s supply of carbon-based matter—including the precious diamonds that a band of jewel thieves are determined to get their hands on. Combining monster-movie mayhem with a rollicking heist subplot results in a uniquely entertaining and offbeat entry in the kaiju canon.
