Review:
Oh, this one is bad. Incredibly, undeniably, mind-numbingly bad! O.K., so maybe it's not quite that bad, but it still isn't good! The underworld kingdom of "Seatopia", ticked off at all the atom bomb tests going on topside, sends the fearful monster Megalon [picture a giant cockroach with two arms and legs instead of six] to level Tokyo [yeah, right -- like Tokyo was responsible for the atom bomb tests?] Well, the surface dwellers aren't completely helpless -- they've got Jet Jaguar (a robot who can miraculously grow to gigantic proportions on demand) on their side! But Megalon is too much for Jet Jaguar to handle on his own, so he flies to Monster Island to ask (via semaphoric hand signals) Godzilla's help. But it's not over yet -- suddenly, Gigan appears out of nowhere to fight beside Megalon! What follows has got to be the tag team event of the year! I would have given this movie a "BOMB" rating, except for one scene involving a flying kick, Godzilla-style, which is so bizarre that I am shocked speechless every time I see it!

One interesting note -- One of the American publicity posters and/or video covers for this film actually showed Godzilla and Megalon facing off while standing on top of the (former) World Trade Center towers in New York. Yeah, right....
