I originally saw this movie when I was five years old. It was aired on a USA network creature feature. The movie fascinated me. My father taped the movie using our crappy 80's VHS player. I watched the movie throughout the next ten years until the actual tape broke from strain.
I'm not quite sure what it is exactly that makes me so incredibly addicted to this film. The soundtrack is a awesome 70's jap-pop funk. The dinosaurs, a pleasiasaur and some pterodactyl variant, are so rubber campy they're great. The acting is absolutely some of the worst acting ever committed to film, and that's including high school musicals and Congo.
I thought that i would never see this film again after my tape broke, but two years ago I found dude on the internet selling DVDs of the original Japanese print with English subtitles.
