I was always interesting in seeing Adventure at Kiganjoh and The Last War, never was able to find them though. :?

I wanted to see Kiganjoh is because the beginning of Ifukube-sama's Symphonic Fantasia #2 is the theme song to that movie, I would love to see how it was played into the movie.

THE FINAL WAR (1960) was a Toei production, featured in Life magazine, produced a year before Toho's THE LAST WAR (1961). Here's a photo from Life. courtesy of Baradagi:

The film is also known as WORLD WAR III: 41 HOURS OF TERROR (translation of Japanese title) and WHEN WORLD WAR III BREAKS OUT.

:eek: Pretty impressive shot! Thanks (to you and Baradagi)!

I guess it's not been released on video?

No video release in Japan. It was screened recently at a retrospective in Japan, though.

I'm kinda interested in seeing films like Serect of the Telegram and the Last war as I haven't seen them before.
