Ignoring the misleading invocation of KIng Kong's name on the ad, it's clever how all Japanese cast members' names are ignored in favor of the few Anglos on screen, all the better to mislead potential audiences into thinking it's not another rinky-dink monster movie from the East. Which it was, and an enjoyable one at that!

ReplyDeleteAgreed, David!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that the poster included Kon Omura. His name isn't mentioned, but there he is in his Groucho Marx eyebrows and glasses!
