Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThis film began as a direct-to-television co-production between AB-PT and Toho, and thus was shot in black and white in the Academy aspect ratio. AB-PT went bankrupt during production, but a two-part TV film was still completed. The two parts were then edited into a single, longer feature film to be shown in Japanese theaters, which involved extending and re-recording the musical score, shortening scenes and adding new ones. This theatrical feature was then cropped shot by shot and released in an ersatz anamorphic widescreen format apparently adapted from SuperScope called TohoPanScope. Neither the TV version nor the theatrical version of this film exist in the Academy ratio, but the fully mixed audio track for the TV version still exists as of this date.
- PatzerSeveral short clips of Varan's attack on Tokyo are actually stock footage from Godzilla - Das Original (1954), including a shot of Godzilla's tail smashing into a building and a POV shot from inside a warehouse of Godzilla's foot caving the structure in. Similarly, Varan's roar is an amalgamation of various Toho giant monster roars, including that of Godzilla himself.
- Alternative VersionenThe scene of Baran (aka Varan) flying is deleted from the American version of the film.
- VerbindungenEdited into Varan the Unbelievable (1962)
Ausgewählte Rezension
The Turning Point In The Kaiju Realm
Varan, The Unbelievable is really the patron deity of a small Japanese village called Isikawa, where he is known as the God Baradagi.
He is awakened when a group of scientists break the taboo and invade his territory- with hopes of debunking the legend surrounding his existence.
They die, and now there's no going back.
Varan gets his new name from the fact that he is a Varanopod- a class of dinosaur that existed from the Triassic to Cretaceous periods, historically speaking.
The scientists convince the local townsfolk to ditch their beliefs and opt for skepticism instead of a fear driven reverence for Varan.
But little good that does them when Varan wipes their town off the map.
Now he's on the warpath, hellbent on vengeance, and they can't figure out how to stop him.
Eventually there's only one idea left, and if it doesn't work...
This one is most notable, because it shows that man's hubris was to supplant the Old Gods, not for a single monotheistic God, but rather the Gods of Technology...who generally tends towards war and destruction...as opposed to peace and prosperity.
As we continue deeper into the realm of the kaijus, the humans will be forced to rely less and less on technology, and more and more on their faith in the kaiju beasts.
So it is suggested, then, that it was the belief of the villagers that had manifested Baradagi in the first place.
Though, as we'll come to see...faith in the kaiju Gods is simply inescapable.
Marking this as a sort of turning point in the series.
5.5 out of 10.
