Frankenstein Conquers The World: Toho does Frankenstein. The legend of Frankenstein and his various adventures have been covered to a crazy degree over the years but right here we have horror legends Toho take a stab at it. Sadly it appears they weren't told very much before they wrote the screenplay. Assisted once again by a US studio (Which has always been to their detriment) this tells the story of a young boy who is discovered and found to be growing at an incredible rate. Before they know it he's grown disastrously large and broken free of his constraints, just at the same time as a giant monster has appeared on a rampage as well. You can immediately tell that it's a Toho film, from the sfx to the one bit of score they keep using or mildly remixing. Several of the usual faces are also present including Takashi Shimura who has a blink and you'll miss it role. The storyline is actually more competently done than many of these Toho monster films but in its place the sfx are a tad worse. The creature effects and that of our Frankenstein are fine, but every once in a while you'll spot something so bad it should have got someones butt fired (I'm looking at you shifty Boar and awful Horse). What drew the most ire from me were certain logistical issues. For example Frankenstein is of course the name of the Scientist who created the monster not the name of the monster itself. As the boy grows the clothes grow (Hulk style) and various other little things that bothered me more than they perhaps should. It's more Toho monster cheese, if you like that stuff this will likely appeal otherwise you'll probably scratch your head in amazement just how ridiculous it all is. Fairly well made stuff. Takashi Shimura is wasted. Frequent logistical flaws. Some really poor sfx. Not bad but definitely bonkers. This is one of the more entertaining (and yet still bonkers) Toho monster rallies and at some points you can actually feel your grip on sanity beginning to weaken. Like many Frankenstein movies you do feel a certain amount of sympathy for the monster (not Baragon though, who looks like he escaped from a toy shop) and actually wish he would deliver a massive ass-kicking to the immaculately dressed, white gloved troops who are shooting at him. Baragon spitting feathers and the pig-on-rails scenes alone are worth the admission price. The sheer lunacy of this movie even exceeds that of King Kong Lives! Sadly the best scene is missing: the one in which Nick Adams' agent persuaded him to turn up for this particular engagement. Great Movie. Buy The 2 Disc Release. This is one of my favorite films as a kid. I have always been a big Toho fan. Godzilla of course was/is my favorite "Actor". It would have been nice if Godzilla would have been in this film as originally planned, but Baragon is just fine. Why this film has such a low rating of 3.7 is beyond me. I have an original full screen terrible transfer copy of this film on VHS but I still enjoyed it. When I found out that this movie was coming to DVD I bought it as soon as I could. Boy was I surprised when I opened the DVD case. Inside were 2 DVD's. Disc 1 was the original uncut version of the film in Japanese with optional English subtitles and disc 2 was the English dubbed edited version. Both are 2:35 widescreen versions. If you want to buy this movie make sure it is the 2 disc release. You will be glad you did. Later that night I put disc 1 in my DVD player and watched the movie for the first time in it's original version with subtitles on my big screen TV with popcorn by my side enjoying every minute of it. This movie was made for kids and the young at heart. It is a fun movie and nothing more. I give this film a 7.0 rating. Frankenstein vs. baragon 1965 download torrent.

Up until 1965, most Japanese monster films were not official co-productions between Hollywood studios and Japan’s Toho Company Ltd. The usual practice was to buy ready made Japanese films and either add new scenes filmed with American actors in Hollywood (a la GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS, VARAN THE UNBELIEVABLE, HALF-HUMAN and KING KONG VS. GODZILLA) or drastically re-edit or shorten the films for American consumption and simply dub them into English (a la RODAN, THE MYSTERIANS, GORATH, MOTHRA, BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE and GODZILLA VS. THE THING). In 1965, producer Henry G. Saperstein, creator of United Productions of America (UPA) (owners of such characters as Mr. Magoo and Gerald McBoing Boing), actively went to Japan to set up his own co-productions with Toho. His plan was to put up half the budget (Toho would provide the other half), provide a recognizable American actor and later make a distribution deal with an American studio to release the films in the United States. The result was the first of several films Saperstein would produce in Japan (FRANKENSTEIN VS. BARAGON) and the first of two films starring Academy Award nominated actor, Nick Adams (the other being 1965’s MONSTER ZERO, also produced by Saperstein). Now, after years and years of wishing and begging and hoping, Media Blasters has finally given this much loved and remembered kaiju classic a proper and definitive release…and believe this reviewer…you are in for the treat of your life. During the closing days of World War II, the still-beating heart of the original Frankenstein’s monster is shipped to Hiroshima via submarine. Once at the clinic, the army scientist (Takashi Shimura) explains his theory that Dr. Frankenstein’s experiments in cell regeneration could be used to replace damaged cells or even restore limbs in the human body. The elderly scientist does not have time to put that theory to the test as the Enola Gay passes over Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945. After the blinding flash of light and flame engulfs the city and ends World War II, it is assumed the heart of Frankenstein is finally destroyed. Fifteen years later in the rebuilt Hiroshima, American scientist Dr. James Bowen (Nick Adams) is dedicating his life to help those suffering from the lingering effects of radiation. Assisting him are Dr. Seuko Togami (the beautiful Kumi Mizuno) and Dr. Kenichiro Kawaji (Tadeo Takashima). As time passes, there are reports about a strange looking child who has allegedly been killing animals (dogs, rabbits, etc.) and eating them. Eventually, Drs. Bowen and Togami persuade the wild boy to come with them to their hospital where he proceeds to grow at an alarming rate necessitating the need to put him in a large cage. In addition to his growth rate, his facial features begin to resemble the Frankenstein’s monster. Is it possible that the heart has formed into this strange being as a result of being exposed to nuclear radiation or did the boy, orphaned by the nuclear blast, eat the heart of Frankenstein? The film does not make it clear, but it is implied that either scenario is possible. Eventually, Frankenstein (now over 60- feet tall) escapes from the lab and lives off the land in the Japanese Alps. In addition to the mayhem caused by him, mysterious earthquakes release a huge lizard, Baragon, who proceeds to go on its own rampage for which Frankenstein takes the blame. Before long, the two behemoths meet and with a spectacular Eiji Tsuburaya-directed special effects display, do battle. The idea of a gigantic Frankenstein Monster was not unique to this film. In 1961, Willis H. O’Brien (creator of the 1933 KING KONG) developed an idea for a proposed film entitled KING KONG VS. FRANKENSTEIN. He shopped it around and eventually made a tentative deal with producer John Beck. However, O’Brien was bitterly disappointed when Beck sold the project to Toho and they reworked the concept which finally became KING KONG VS. GODZILLA in 1962. Some of O’Brien’s drawings survived and actually appeared in a June 1966 issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland (ironically the issue which features a cover story on FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD). These drawings depict a combination humanoid/ape-like creature doing battle with the famous ape. FRANKENSTEIN VS. BARAGON was filmed during the spring of 1965 and released in Japan to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing in August 1965. Its American release was handled by American International Pictures (AIP) in June 1966, where its title was changed to FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD and released on a drive-in double bill with TARZAN AND THE VALLEY OF GOLD starring Mike Henry and Nancy Kovack. AIP had already released such Toho product as GODZILLA VS. THE THING (1964) and ATRAGON in 1965. The cast of FRANKENSTEIN VS. BARAGON is loaded with Toho’s top talent. Tadeo Takashima previously appeared in KING KONG VS. GODZILLA and ATRAGON and was generally known in Japan as a fine comedian, although he plays this dramatic role here very well. He would later appear in 1967’s SON OF GODZILLA for director Jun Fukada. Takashima’s son would later appear in GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA (1993). Kumi Mizuno is absolutely beautiful as the monster’s (and Nick Adams’) love interest. She had already appeared in such genre films as GORATH (1962), ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE (1963), and THE LOST WORLD OF SINBAD (1964). She also appeared in Saperstein’s co-production of KAGI NO KAGI (1964) which Woody Allen later re-dubbed into the hilarious WHAT’S UP, TIGER LILY? (1966). Yoshio Tsuchiya appears in a much less flashy role than his other Toho roles like THE MYSTERIANS (1957) and BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE (1960). Toho regulars Jun Tazaki and Kenji Sahara also turn up in small roles. The casting of Nick Adams was the first time a well-known American actor actually appeared as part of the Japanese production. He was already known in Hollywood having appeared in such classics like REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955), MISTER ROBERTS (1955), PICNIC (1955), THE LAST WAGON (1956), TEACHER’S PET (1958), PILLOW TALK (1959), HELL IS FOR HEROES (1962) and TWILIGHT OF HONOR (1963…in which he was nominated for an Academy Award). Adams also spent two seasons as “Johnny Yuma” on ABC’s "the Rebel" (1959-1961). By 1965, his star was already on the dim as he started to accept roles in much less prestigious pictures (by Hollywood standards) usually filmed overseas. These include 1965’s DIE, MONSTER, DIE! co-starring Boris Karloff for AIP and Allied Artists’ YOUNG DILLINGER (1965), a low budget crime thriller filmed in Hollywood. By all accounts, Adams was very happy and enthusiastic to work in Japan and many people connected with these films from Henry G. Saperstein to Yoshio Tsuchiya to Kumi Mizuno have extremely fond memories of the actor. Speaking of Miss Mizuno, there have been long standing rumors that he was in love with the actress and that he actually proposed to her, but she declined because she was already engaged. It was also around this time that Adams divorced his wife, Carol Nugent Adams, so there may be truth to the rumors. Nick Adams died in February 1968 as a result of an overdose, but whether it was a suicide or an accident or murder (as some people assert) is something not 100% known even to this day. This two-disc Media Blasters presentation is absolutely terrific. Both the Japanese and American versions feature gorgeous anamorphic 2.35:1 transfers with sharp subtitles on the Japanese version and (now sit down for this genre fans)…the ORIGINAL Titra Sound voice track (featuring Nick Adams’ voice) used on the American version. As with so many Toho films released on DVD, the international dubbing is used in place of the American version, however, Media Blasters (gotta love ‘em) went through a painstaking job to restore the AIP print as it was released in 1966. The opening credits feature the original titles complete with the AIP logo, the “James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff Present” card, and the original title card. It looks as though Media Blasters used the Japanese print for the actual film and synched up the English dubbing to that. The audio is in 2.0 mono and in surround sound as well. In addition to that, this presentation is loaded with extras which up until now, were only featured on the Japanese laserdisc and DVD. This includes an “international version” which features the film (in Japanese with English subtitles) as it was intended to be with the alternate scene in which Frankenstein fights a giant octopus as well as the theatrical Japanese version with the usual ending of Frankenstein and Baragon being swallowed up by an earthquake. There is also an audio commentary by photographer Sadamasa Arikawa who gives a great deal of information about his experience working on this film. The alternate scene with the octopus is also an extra by itself, as is a photo gallery with photos of Eiji Tsuburaya directing Koji Fuhurata (Frankenstein) and Haruo Nakajima (Baragon), as well as lobby cards and posters from around the world publicizing the film. The Japanese trailer is also included, as well as a teaser trailer and previews for other films in Media Blasters’ Toho DVD series (ATRAGON, THE MYSTERIANS, DOGORA, MATANGO, VARAN). In the Japanese trailer, Nick Adams is ballyhooed as “the charm of Hollywood.” With regard to the aforementioned alternate ending, Henry G. Saperstein had requested that an additional monster be added to fight Frankenstein after the battle with Baragon. As a result, a new ending was shot in which Frankenstein battles a giant octopus. However, after viewing the footage, Saperstein decided that the unconvincing octopus prop was not up to a similar scene in KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (in which a live octopus was used) and the scene was eventually dropped by AIP and the film ended with Frankenstein and the dead Baragon being swallowed up by an earthquake. This is a bit of shame because the scene actually plays very well (octopus prop notwithstanding) with Akira Ifukubie’s ominous score in the background and is a great lead-in to the 1966 sequel, WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS in which a giant octopus appears in the opening scene to battle Gaira (the green gargantua), an offshoot of this film’s Frankenstein. All genre fans will want to go out and get this one for their collections. After years of horrible pan and scan TV presentations and low quality bootleg DVDs, it is about time this cult favorite gets a definitive release. Media Blasters also intends to follow this up with a first time DVD release of Toho’s elusive LATITUDE ZERO and if that is anything like this presentation, they’ll have another hit on their hands. (Joe Cascio) Frankenstein vs. Baragon. During World War II, Germany delivers Frankenstein's immortal heart to Japan for study. However, the laboratory examining the heart is destroyed by the atom bomb on August 6, 1945. 15 years later, a vagrant boy is found roaming the streets, eating any animal he can catch. Two doctors, James Bowen and Sueko Togami, convince the child to join them at their clinic. Growing at a remarkable rate, story of the vagrant attracts the attention of Kawai, one of the men who transported the heart to Japan. Stopping at the clinic, Kawai relates the story of Frankenstein's heart. Noting that the lab that held the heart was in the area, they begin to theorize about a connection. Visiting Germany, the doctors return with advice on how to determine if the child is connected to Frankenstein. Unfortunately it involves severing a limb of the child to see if it grows back. With others opposed to the idea, one of the doctors, Yuzo Kawaji, decides to act alone. However, the vagrant, now giant, breaks free. He leaves behind a severed hand, though, that proves its Frankenstein. The creature's escape from the laboratory is unfortunately ill timed. As it turns out, another monster, Baragon, is on the loose. The subterranean monster begins covertly terrorizing the countryside, leading authorities to believe Frankenstein is the cause. Titles.

The title used was its American one, Frankenstein Conquers the World . On September 2nd, 1993, Toho submitted the movie to the US copyright office as well, this time under the title Frankenstein vs. Baragon with the alternate title being Frankenstein tai Baragon . This claim had the registration of PA0000657701. This film was the third attempt by Toho to make a movie around Frankenstein's monster. The first two failed attempts were Frankenstein vs. Human Vapour and Frankenstein vs. Godzilla . The movie is often titled as フランケンシュタイン対地底怪獣 (Furankenshutain Tai Chitei Kaiju), which would translate as "Frankenstein vs. the Subterranean Monster". However, the poster has an interesting approach of imposing, in green text, Baragon's name on top of subterranean monster. While this means the title could translate into the longer フランケンシュタイン対地底怪獣バラゴン, adding Baragon's name at the end, it's not the official Japanese title. For example, Baragon's name is omitted on other material like lobby cards. That said, the longer name does appear on some merchandise related to the film. This includes a CD release from Toshiba of the soundtrack, where the title could be translated as Frankenstein vs. Subterranean Monster Baragon . Due to the small size of the monsters in contrast to those in the Godzilla series, the production allowed the special effects crew to create larger scale models. This included the construction of large scale cabins, ships and other props. Some of the props created included animals, such as a giant boar and a horse. The latter became slightly controversial due to, what some consider, the unconvincing nature of what ended up in the film. Koichi Takano, who did the puppet effects on King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), asked special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya why he didn't use composite or rear screen techniques with a real horse, especially as there were real chickens seen earlier in the scene. According to Takano, Tsuburaya replied that "using a model horse was more fun!". This fact is revealed in the book Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters . The Fugitive star David Janssen was originally considered and thinking about the contract with Henry G. Saperstein and Toho, which launched a series of films that began with Frankenstein vs. Baragon . Eventually Janssen backed out and Nick Adams took the contract. This detail is cited in Age of the Gods (self-published). Composer Akira Ifukube scored the movie's main title with a solo bass flute that, at that point in time, was the only one of its kind in Japan. Noted in Age of the Gods (self-published). Henry G. Saperstein of United Productions of America stated that he provided 50% of the funding for Frankenstein vs. Baragon , Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965) and The War of the Gargantuas (1966). Mentioned in Japan's Favorite Mon-Star (ISBN: 1550223488). Actor Nick Adams wrote a piece for the Los Angeles Times on August 22nd, 1965. In it he praised director Ishiro Honda and special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya as "two geniuses [who] have earned the well deserved title of the world's greatest directors of science fiction films". He went on to praise producer Tomoyuki Tanaka as well, and noted that the movie had a budget of $5 million. The stated budget, however, was likely an exaggeration. Documented in Japan's Favorite Mon-Star (ISBN: 1550223488). According to Nick Adams' daughter, Allyson Lee Adams, her father and Kumi Mizuno had an affair while Adams was in Japan. She went on to note that: "My dad had a penchant for becoming infatuated with his leading ladies. It was a way for him to take on the role he was playing at the time. After [ Frankenstein vs. Baragon ] was shot, Saperstein threw a party in Tokyo and all the people from Toho were there, and we were invited. My dad was obviously infatuated with Kumi, to the point where the Americans there were embarrassed for my mother." Noted in Japan's Favorite Mon-Star (ISBN: 1550223488). Concept Art. Cut Scenes. Frankenstein vs. the Giant Octopus. Battling with the monstrous reptile Baragon, Frankenstein found himself in a death struggle. The gargantuan human drove the creature to the ground, wrapping his thick tree trunk-like arms about Baragon's scaly neck. Frankenstein choked and twisted as the quadruped beast flailed wildly. Then, with one twist, it was over. Bones snapped and the beast grew limp. Roaring into the sky, Frankenstein lifted the dead corpse and cast it into a ravine. Heaving his arms upward, he proclaimed his victory to the world. The celebration was short lived, though, as the creature spotted a huge octopus advancing toward him. Moving over the rocky terrain, the Giant Octopus challenged the now weakened Frankenstein. The giant flung himself into his many limbed foe, a mistake that would cost him his life. Wrapping its suctioned tentacles about arms and legs, the undersea animal pulled the humanoid down. The gargantuan human fought back, managing to free himself and flip the oozing mass of the Giant Octopus over. Yet the battle was already won before it started. Grabbing Frankenstein once again, the octopus began to drag its enemy to the nearby water. Perched ontop of a cliff, the Giant Octopus fell, taking its entangled prey with it. Onlookers watched as Frankenstein rose above the waves several times, but the advantage was no longer his. Dragged underwater, the giant's screams were unheard, only slight trickles of surfacing bubbles marked its passing. Background: Henry G. Saperstein, an executive producer on the film, was so impressed by Toho's Giant Octopus in King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) that he wanted the creature to return in his 1965 movie. The scene was written and filmed so that the Giant Octopus would appear on land and finish Frankenstein off after his battle with Baragon. However, the scene was rejected, in both the Japanese and US cuts, in favor of a less anti-climatic approach where the film closes with the defeat of Baragon. The Giant Octopus would return to the big screen, though, in the film's sequel: The War of the Gargantuas (1966). Frankenstein vs. Baragon. Frankenstein v kaiju filmu? A proč vlastně ne!

Patnáct let po slavném výbuchu je na scéně nejen srdce, ale celé monstrum. A nejde o jediné monstrum, kterého se obává celé lidstvo. Přichází Baragon, podzemní monstrum! Která nestvůra se postaví na stranu lidské rasy? (Kmotr76) Recenze (11) anais. Opět naprosto nehodnotitelné. Zábavná bizarnost z Japonska 60.let, ve které si to obrovský Frankenstein rozdá s krtkosaurem střílejícím z tlamy rudý laserový paprsek. Za zmínku stojí tradičně skvělý Ifukubeho soundtrack, roztomilá práce s modely všeho druhu, ale i ponuré intro, ve kterém jsme svědky transportu Frankensteinova srdce z nacistického Německa do poklidné Hirošimy ve stínu atomové bomby. ( 12.07.2013 ) ledzepfan. Tohle jsem trochu odkládal, protože přerostlej dement není na první pohled tak atraktivní a sympatický jako Godzilla. Když jsem to teď viděl musím přiznat, že to bylo místy překvapivě kvalitní, přestože se mi potvrdilo, že přerostlej dement opravdu není tak atraktivní a sympatický jako Godzilla. Ještě, že tu kaiju fazónu zachraňuje Baragon. ( 09.05.2014 ) Dellamorte. Pri takýchto snímkoch sa to nedá hodnotiť objektívne - tu väčšinou uteká o subjektívny dojem. Mojou výpoveďou je vlastne - brutálne silná 4-ka. Pre niekoho shit , ale cením si tú silu , ktorú " jamíci " nakopali do témy a tú im vrátili " amíci " prebudením Godzilly. Parádne naivné , utešene nasnímané a okúzlujúco zábavné ! ( 22.09.2010 ) Klasicky kvalitní podívaná od Ishiro Hondy. Takže není překvapením precizní práce s miniaturami, modýlky tanků, lesů, vesnice, lodí na moři. Když přerostlý Frankenstein chodí japonskými hvozdy, je jasně vidět namalované pozadí a umělé stromky, ale v tom je ta krása, asi jako když se díváte na kulisy Josefa Lady v pohádce Hrátky s čertem. Samozřejmě, pokud nezkousnete synopsi, že malý chlapec v sobě nosí nesmrtelné srdce Frankensteina, vlivem radiace zmutuje do obřích rozměrů a na konci si to rozdá na férovku s kaiju monstrem, tak popojděte o dům dále, tady se na logiku a realističnost nehraje. A propos Baragon, ten vždycky v kaiju filmech dokázal přinést dobrou náladu, teady aspoň mě samému. Zbožňuju ty jeho velká plachtící ušiska, je k pomilování :o) Šéfa týmu klaďasů, jak bylo v 50´s a 60´s filmech Ishiro Hondy dost časté, tady hraje low-cost verze Lexe Barkera, zajímalo by mě, kde Honda tyhle necharismatické typy, po kterých v Hollywoodu ani pes neštěkl, vždycky vyhrabal. Urputně fyzický, propocený závěrečný souboj polonahého herce a kaskadéra v kostýmu Baragona je nezapomenutelný, má to stejné grády, jako když se Godzilla řezala s King Kongem. Tohle si Honda opravdu uměl vychutnat. __ PS: Dík pepuovi za kvalitní titule. ( 16.06.2019 ) zelvopyr. Parádně silný úvod, za který by se nemuselo stydět jakékoli dnešní áčko (nebo silná bondovka typu You only live twice). Pak už to je lehce podprůměrná monstrovina, se standardním hereckým týmem. Vidím tu posun v sebevědomí, Honda sáhl po klasice -- a znovu musím zmínit úvod, hlavně scénu z laboratoře v nejlepší tradici němého filmu, kde se nevydá ani zvuk. Kromě toho, co se v Godzille a dalších zatím jen opartně svádělo na neblahý vliv radiace "z pokusných výbuchů", zde se pojmenuje naplno. Začínáme v Hirošimě (velmi toto prostředí prospělo), řeší se dopady 15 let po válce. ( 22.02.2012 )
