YOG: MONSTER FROM SPACE (1970)
Some glittery alien space-dust hitches a ride on a satellite heading back from Jupiter. The space probe crashes near a pacific island and then we get a giant silly-looking octopus named Gezora who has big light-up eyes and runs around on his tentacle legs killing islanders. Have you ever seen an octopus waltz around like a bad-ass? It looks fucking ridiculous and was pretty much the highlight for me. Godzilla never shows up like you might expect but some scientist-types figure out giant rubber octopuses hate fire. Then a giant lobster monster shows up(no, not Lobstora!) along with a giant turtle(no, not Gamera!). They end up fighting it out cuz these movies always have to end with 2 big monsters fighting. Apparently the space dust(Yog?) is responsible for all this nonsense and he's finally defeated when he tries to take over a Japanese man with a strong will, also some bats help out for some reason. This one is strictly for fans of wacky-ass Japanese monster mashes and I probably woulda loved it when I was 12 since you get 3 monsters crammed into one flick. A.K.A. SPACE AMOEBA
