Arrow Video Channel Has a Monster of a Month FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE London UK, 24 June 2020 ARROW VIDEO CHANNEL HAS A MONSTER OF A MONTH DEBUTING THIS JULY: ZOMBIE FOR SALE, THE GAMERA COLLECTION, ​ CREEPSHOW 2, BLOODSTONE, BLACK RAINBOW & MERRY CHRISTMAS MR LAWRENCE ARROW VIDEO CHANNEL is the passion-driven film platform giving film fans the opportunity to ​ watch a curated selection of movies that the Arrow Video brand is famous for. This July, the Arrow Video Channel is showing Korean rom-zom-com Zombie For Sale, and all twelve films ​ ​ ​ from the amazing Gamera Collection, featuring the beloved titanic terrapin. ​ ​ An infectiously funny slice of modern Korean cinema, Zombie For ​ ​ Sale sees an undead escapee from a pharmaceutical lab attacking the ​ head of the misfit Park family - who promptly becomes revitalised and full of life! The family hatch a plan to exploit this unexpected fountain of youth, allowing locals to pay to be bitten too, until things go wrong … With a cabbage-munching zombie who prefers ketchup over blood, and a dysfunctional clan that gives the Kim family of Parasite a run for their money, Zombie for Sale will warm the ​ ​ ​ ​ deadest of hearts and breathe some new life into the zombie genre. Also in July, the original hero in a half-shell is back, with all twelve tales of the adventures of the creature feature favourite Gamera (from 1965’s Gamera the Giant Monster ​ ​ ​ to 2006’s Gamera The Brave). ​ ​ The films trace the decades-long evolution of Gamera, from the “friend of all children” in his more light-hearted earlier films, to the Guardian of the Universe in the groundbreaking 1990s reboot series, often hailed as three of the best kaiju (monster) films ever made. You can see them all on Arrow Video Channel - the home for weird and wild cult classics, ​ ​ newly-restored gems, and genre favourites, available on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video (UK only). Also debuting on the Arrow Video Channel in July are: ​ ​ CREEPSHOW 2 Key Talent: George Romero (Dawn of the Dead), ​ ​ ​ ​ Stephen King (Carrie, The Dead Zone) ​ ​ ​ Horror maestros Romero and King are together again, in this wildly enjoyable follow-up to their 1982 anthology hit, this time featuring young hoodlums, horny teens and an uptight businesswoman getting their just desserts, in all manner of ghoulish and ghostly going-ons. Bloodstone Key Talent: Nico Mastorakis (Director, Island of Death) ​ ​ ​ ​ Rajinikanth (Kabali, Enthiran) ​ ​ ​ Buckle up from some B-movie mayhem from genre film luminary Nico Mastorakis, featuring a stellar performance by legendary Tamil superstar Rajinikanth in his first English-language role, in an action-packed romp full of thrills, kick-ass one liners and venomous cobras! Black Rainbow Key Talent: Mike Hodges (Director, Get Carter, Flash Gordon) ​ ​ ​ ​ Rosanna Arquette (Pulp Fiction), Tom Hulce (Amadeus) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mike Hodges’ underappreciated chiller, starring Rosanna Arquette as a clairvoyant whose visions start to predict a series of deadly events, is a superbly eerie and entertaining gothic tale of suspense and the occult, presented here in a stunning director-approved restoration. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence Key Talent: Nagisa Oshima (Director, Empire of Passion, Gohatto) ​ ​ ​ ​ David Bowie (The Man Who Fell To Earth), ​ ​ ​ Tom Conti (Shirley Valentine), Takeshi Kitano (Battle Royale) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ David Bowie is in mesmerizingly good form in Nagisa Oshima’s 1983 Palme d’Or-nominated World War II prisoner-of-war classic, featuring a memorably haunting, BAFTA-winning score by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and a breakthrough role for the legendary Takeshi ‘Beat’ Kitano.

  • D20: Toho Based Dungeons & Dragons
    First Published: 10/09/02 Updated: 06/02/16 This article features rules for a Toho universe based Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game. It adapts Godzilla, Mothra and characters from other science fiction and fantasy films like the Onmyoji series for the game. The rules are broken into four sections: Janjira: a Toho based setting Gods Monsters Spells and Domains Equipment Gods includes information on the god-kaiju of a Toho universe based campaign. The monsters are the various creatures of a Toho universe based game, including non-divine kaiju and monsters. Also includes rules on playing some of the more benign races. The History of Janjira The new world began with the destruction of the old one. Ten thousand years ago the nations of Janjira, who had long labored to secure their kingdoms against the trials and tribulations of the world, achieved their goal. Their greatest minds had derived wondrous technologies from the very foundations of the world, a melding of machine and magic. Where once children in remote villages grew up hungry and sick, automatons were brought to tend crops and heal their maladies. Houses in the mountains were filled with warmth during the coldest months of the year and the deadliest creatures of the wild were held in check by the awesome might of their arms. The most basic trials that had harried civilization since the beginning of time now assuaged, the people of Janjira set aside their toils and gazed out on their lands in peace. Years passed, and they forgot the struggles of their ancestors and set aside their gods, decreeing that their society had reached what must surely be perfection.

  • Godzilla and the Japanese After World War II: from a Scapegoat of the Americans to a Saviour of the Japanese
    Godzilla and the Japanese after World War II: From a scapegoat of the Americans to a saviour of the Japanese Yoshiko Ikeda Ritsumeikan University Abstract. This paper examines how five Godzilla films illuminate the complicated relationship between Japan and the United States over the use of nuclear weapons. The United States dropped the first atomic bombs on Japan and created the first nuclear monster film, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953), which inspired the Godzilla series. The popularity of these Godzilla films derives from skilfully grappling with the political, social and cultural problems created by the use of nuclear weapons and science/technology, both inside Japan and in relations between Japan and the United States. This paper takes a historical perspective and shows how the Godzilla characters reflect these attitudes across time, moving from a scapegoat for the Americans to a saviour of the Japanese. Gojira (Godzilla) series An ancient monster, deformed by a series of nuclear bomb tests and expelled from his natural habitat, lands in Tokyo and starts destroying Japanese cities. Given the name Godzilla, he destroys these symbols of civilisation as if seeking revenge on humankind for creating such technology. Gojira,1 produced and released by Toho Studio, was a breakthrough hit in Japan in 1954.2 It was followed by 29 Japanese sequels and two American versions of the Japanese films, Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956) and Godzilla 1985: The Legend is Reborn (1984). Gojira was Japan’s first export film and the series appealed to both Japanese and foreign audiences. Over the past 50 years, Godzilla has transformed in shape and character, playing various roles in the stories.

Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.
