Many years later when I finally got to see Junji Kurata’s Kyoryu Kaicho no Densetsu/Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds it turns out the film was certainly very eccentric. The shot seemed both eccentric and exciting. Similarly, interest in another Japanese film was piqued by another still, possibly in Greg Shoemaker’s excellent fanzine Japanese Fantasy Film Journal, a shot of a young woman being menaced by a giant monsters head rising from the water behind her.
In my review of Teruo Ishii’s Kyôfu kikei ningen: Edogawa Rampo zenshû/Horrors of Malformed Men (1969) I mentioned that my interest in the film was initially piqued by a still spotted in Denis Gifford’s book A Pictorial History of the Horror Movie.
