Sanda (サンダ) & Gaira (ガイラ)
With their humanoid design, Gaira and Sanda are unique in the world of kaijū cinema. They have distinct personalities, making them far more interesting than your average destructive force of nature.
Rasputin’s hands
It took me a while to decide what Christopher Lee clip to share today. I decided on a moment from Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966). This is not one of Hammer's best, but Lee's performance in the titular role is fantastic.
Jiraiya (自雷也)
The Magic Serpent is a tasty mixed grill of 60s Japanese cinema. At its core, it's a tale of revenge. Mix magic-fueled martial arts and a handful of kaijū into that pot of vengeance and you've got yourself something fabulously out of control.
