Editorial Reviews:

During WWII, a human heart taken from a certain lab in Europe (Dr. Frankenstein’s) is kept in a Japanese lab. When it gets exposed to the radiation of the bombing of Hiroshima, the heart grows in size, mutates and sprouts appendages, and eventually grows into a complete body and escapes. Later, a feral boy with a certain physical deformity (a large head with a flat top) is captured by scientists who refer to the boy as Frankenstein. The creature grows to the height of 20 feet, escapes again, fights police and army, and is practically indestructible. Later, a reptilian monster goes on a rampage. Eventually the Frankenstein creature and the reptile face off in a terrible battle.

Summary: Frankenstein and Baragon Collide!
Comment: Frankenstein vs. Baragon is a good sci-fi monster movie that is very entertaining and is worth buying. It has an original story and a great cast (especially Nick Adams)!
The movie also introduces the monster Baragon. And he would go on to star in two Godzilla movies. And it all started here in 1965. This would be his first battle to the death.
Buy this movie and enjoy! The price is cheap and its worth every penny! Enjoy this Toho classic! :)

Summary: Another Toho classic.
Comment: Toho has done it again by making more fantastic kaiju films. This one could be their very best. The film stars the catchy and beloved Nick Adams who starred in the Godzilla classic, Monster Zero and the lovely Kumi Mizuno who also starred in Monster Zero. Now for the main attractions themselves. Frankenstein is portrayed differently here. In this film, he grows into enormous size and strength. But he isn't portrayed as a destructive, mindless monster here, he's a gentle being who wishes no more then food and a nice place to live. Baragon is quite an interesting monster being able to dig underground and having a heat ray similar to Godzilla's. Oodako well, looks like and acts like a giant octopus and gives Frankenstein a good fight (He's in the International version only, not the original nor the American). Ifukube creates another fantastic score that captures the creepiness of this film. Now for the DVD. We get three versions, International, Japanese and American. The 1st disc has the first two versions as I mentioned before and the 2nd has the American version, though sadly, it isn't the beloved AIP version we all grew up with. We get lots of goodies and an informative Audio Commentary that I'm sure you'll learn a thing or too. The quality for the film is fantastic but it's a little bit too dark in some scenes but it's not a major problem. All in all, a great movie presented fantastic on this DVD that you should add to your collection of monster movies.

Summary: Dont listen to "Grandma"
Comment: This movie was ALOT of fun and has all the elements of circa 1960's
weirdness/creepiness that I love watching. It is the imperfection these films possess that make them so enjoyable to watch. The funniest part of the film is when the scientists first examine Frankenstein and they insist that "He is distinctly caucasian" when its soooo obvious that he is Asian!
If you liked "War of the Gargantua's" "Matango" and even "Gorgo", you will also love this movie as well. I must admit that I like "War of the Gargantua's" better, and I hope that is soon released to DVD.

Summary: Grumpy Grandma
Comment: As a regular purchaser of books and DVD's for ny grandchildren, I believed I had some expertise in selecting. [[ASIN:B000JU8H7E Frankenstein Conquers the World / Frankenstein Vs. Baragon] This DVD changed all of that. What a pathetic waste of money. Initially, I thought Frankenstein was an alien. This was certainly not any Frankenstein I've ever seen! I still don't know anything about the plot but my biggest question is how this Frankenstein, at times, was as tall as a dinosaur and at other times, appeared to be a dwarf. If you are looking for a good Frankenstein movie, don't purchase this one.
