Awoooo! It’s Monster Chiller Horror Theatre! It’s Frankenstein vs Baragon in this Toho entry into the Boogaloo family! But we like the original title, Frankenstein Conquers the World!
Welcome back for more Kung Fu Electric Boogaloo. Your five hosts continue their search for the ultimate B-Movie.
During WWII, a human heart taken from Dr. Frankenstein’s lab is kept in a Japanese lab, where 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. Decades 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, the reptilian kaiju Baragon goes on a rampage. Eventually the Frankenstein creature and Baragon face off in a terrible battle.
This is a wild ride and our fearless hosts are there to try to unpack the crazy! The episode derails a bit when Jack and Jim discover there is an alternate ending featuring a giant octopus and have to immediately track it down.
As always, the KFEB hosts provide ratings for the films that are based on the fun, enjoyment, and craziness of the film. These scores will be tabulated and an on-going grid will keep you up to date with the search.
So sit back and enjoy the laughs as KFEB rolls the seven wonders of the world into one!
