Or you might say big rubber monsters movie night. I can only really think of one other rubber monster movie we've seen, The Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds. The rest of the monsters have been stop motion (Winterbeast) or moderately sized (Prophecy). This is a serious hole in our B-movie experience.
Godzilla aficionados will tell you Godzilla's Revenge is the worst Godzilla movie. But listening to that would give weight to people that rank Godzilla movies. Yes I'm aware I rank the bad movies we watch. The title in Japan is Gojira-Minira-Gabara: Oru kaijû daishingeki. Which is a very long title and that amuses me.
Unfortunately the Hong Kong title for The Mighty Peking Man didn't make it to America, Xing Xing Wang. This is the movie that caused Roger Ebert to change his rating of another Shaw Brothers movie, Super Inframan. So if you came to Inframan night, TMPM will make you realize how good that movie was on account of this movie being slightly worse. TMPM came out in 1977 to compete with the King Kong remake of that year starring Jeff Bridges. It turned out better!
Here's what happened last week:
