Vintage One Sheet Movie Poster, Double Feature, Giant Excitement, Giant Terror, 2 Big Hits, United Productions of America, Maron Films Limited original U.S. theatrical poster for a
1970 double feature pairing two classic Japanese kaiju films: The War of the Gargantuas and Monster Zero.
While both movies were originally produced by Toho in Japan in the mid-1960s (Monster Zero in 1965 and Gargantuas in 1966), they did not receive a wide theatrical release in the United States until they were combined into this double bill on July 29, 1970, by Maron Films.
Featured Films
The War of the Gargantuas (1966): A sequel-of-sorts to Frankenstein Conquers the World, it depicts the battle between two giant humanoid brothers—the gentle Sanda and the carnivorous Gaira.
Monster Zero (1965): Also known as Invasion of Astro-Monster, this is the sixth Godzilla film. It features Godzilla and Rodan being transported to "Planet X" to fight King Ghidorah.
