The Masterpiece: Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds
Purchase Link: You Are Welcome.
The Year: 1977
The Director: Junji Kurata
Beasts to Enjoy: Dinosaurs. Monster Birds.
Marketing Quotes/Taglines: “The highest budgeted Toei feature of its time!”
If I ran the Marketing: “Maybe we should bomb Japan once more, just to be sure.”
What the Fuck is Going On: This is a surprisingly gory little movie made in the wake of Jaws that is really, REALLY not a good movie for fans of large monsters or logic. Apparently, all it takes is a category five earthquake to awaken the monsters living inside Mt. Fuji. I wish. Sadly, the monsters are horribly done and the whole premise is thinner than Robert John Burke. Still, there’s a tiny bit of sexy stuff, a lot of blood for a film like this, and plenty o’ silly things to enjoy while having drinks/opium with the boys and the stiffest flying creature this side of Yor: The Hunter from the Future. I cannot recommend this horrible piece of shit enough.

This had been in my Netflix for some time based on title alone. It's getting bumped to the top immediately. Great idea for a list.
Croverfield made me chortle. Funny caps.
I am predicting that I own all 10 of these movies.
My parents rented this for me about twenty years ago when i was home sick, and i haven't thought of it since. It's good to know that it actually exists and wasn't some crazed fever dream.
Nice pick. i loooove the totally ambiguous ending.
