Spectreman also had a Monster X (called "Kaijuu X" in Japan) in one episode (Episode 27 "Great Fierce Battle!! Seven Giant Monsters"). He's that biomechanical skeleton-looking monster in the episode where Gori sends clones of monsters Spectreman fought in the past, and they have a brutal battle royale to decide which monster will fight Spectreman, but the winner is killed by Monster X, who is sent by Gori to fight our hero. If memory serves, this is the only single episode in the series, as opposed to the usual two-episode cliffhanger story!

Yeah, I watched this at G-Fest and laughed through 90% of it. The beginning took a while, but once all the stupidity got underway I enjoyed it. My only complaint was the fight at the end. It wasn't well done, and it wasn't particularly funny. I will be picking this up on DVD.

This movie is not a sequel to the original film. Just clearing that up.

I got this in from Netflix the other day and watched it last night. I didn't really care for it at all. Its not the abomination people said it was (as usual, kaiju fans were pretty hyberbolic in their hate of a movie, just like they are when they love something *coughGMKcough*).

The acting was so bad that it WASN'T funny, the stock footage was a gyp, and it really wasn't all that funny. And this is coming from someone who loves the bizarre sense of humor that the Japanese have.

The biggest problem with the movie is that its just boring. Its not funny, so there's nothing to keep anybody interested. It felt more low budget than almost every kaiju movie I've ever seen and it tried WAY too hard with a lot of the humor, which really just made the whole movie feel pointless. It begs the question... why even make something like this?

If this was more in line with something like Zebraman, Ultraman Zearth, or even some of Kawasaki's own other works, it would have been great. Instead its just... there.

Gotta say...I unabashedly love Zebraman...one of my favorite movies and I'm not a Miike fan at all

Saw the flick the other day, and I thought it was mildly amusing. There were some fun moments, though some scenes felt like they dragged on a bit. Guilala was great, even if he didn't seem to do much. Shame, that. (I'm pretty sure he had more screen time during his intial rampage in 'X from Outer Space' than he did in the entirety of this film) At any rate it made me want to watch the original film again.

...And now I can get that Take-Majin song out of my head. It's been stuck in there for days.

I felt the same way. As for the humor, the only parts that I found funny were when they showed them using a Guilala toy to map out their attacks, and the stupid plot to have Guilala fall into a hole. How in the hell did they think that was going to kill him?!? Guilala should've had more screen time and he should've destroyed more things so he seemed like a real threat. Most of the movie he was frolicking around in the countryside, not doing much.

[SPOILER]

The only cool thing about the dull fight with Take-Majin is when he slices off Guilala's head.

Yeah, not really my bag... I'd rather stick to the original 1967 film...
