In the 1967 film Monster from a Prehistoric Planet (also known as Gappa) an expedition team travels to the South Pacific island where the natives worship the mysterious deity Gappa. An earthquake opens up an underground cavern and a baby reptile is discovered inside. The natives warn the foreigners to leave the hatchling alone, but they don't listen and take it back to a zoo in Japan. Soon after, mama and papa Gappa start smashing up Tokyo looking for their kidnapped child. In Destroy All Planets (1968), a group of aliens from another planet head for Earth with the intention of conquering it. Their first ship is destroyed in transit by the giant flying turtle Gamera. A second squad makes it to Earth and captures two Boy Scouts and holds them captive so that Gamera will not attack them. The aliens then implant a remote control device in the monster’s neck and use the great turtle to attack Tokyo. The boys come up with a plan to foul up the remote control device to the point where Gamera does the opposite of what he is ordered to do. As a result, Gamera destroys the aliens ship, but then has to contend with its giant squid-like leader Viras. Includes great trailers and commercials including the Trumpzilla trailer.
