There are actually two characters I can think of that have a more glamorous and action-filled job than you would normally think. First, there is Peter (played by Michael Sopkiw), the two-fisted, action hero/electrician/TV repairman in "Devil Fish" (1984). Second is Mark Jackson (played by Robert Dunham), the insurance investigator who knows karate and is a decent marksman from "Dogora" (1964). Not even monsters from space can stop this self-proclaimed "Diamond G-Man" from his job of busting up a gang of diamond thieves.
You mean DAGORA THE SPACE MONSTER? Aside from truly diehard Japanese SF movie fans, not too many people know about that one. I saw it quite a long time ago, but I still seem to recall that it was pretty good overall.
@@ashleys9397 Yes, that's the film. "Dogora" is the original Japanese title. The fact that Toho could find a way to combine two popular genres (crime drama & Kaiju) into one film is quite extraordinary.
Now I know where all the dinosaur FX models from THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT went; looks like the film makers went to a garage sale at British Lion Studios. If they wanted to do a movie about a lake monster they should have gone to Scotland, Canada or Vermont. And if they wanted to do a " monster bird " they should have done the film in the South West or Texas ( Thunder Birds ). CRATER LAKE MONSTER did the whole thing way better, and we didn't have to endure a Japanese Country-Western band.
“Either the Corleone family was trying to send a message or...” Nice one... but why can’t it be both? The idea that kaiju are a mafia plot against the Yakuza sounds like a great concept for a Takeshi Miikke movie. As far as fairly mundane occupations that get the dramatic treatment archeologist and CIA analyst are always a lot more action packed and gunfire excessive than in real life. Harrison Ford played both, but I imagine a gas station attendant would be fighting ninjas daily if he was played by Harrison Ford. Of course, the number one “too cool in movies” avocation has to be the computer hacker.
I'm sorry. This movie...looks...AWESOME! And I never knew that plesiosaurs were not included in the dinosaur category. Dark Corners Reviews, entertaining *and* educational!
Must be said, most Japanese monster flics have funky musical scores that remind me of 70's porn films. I always wondered why there was such a similarity until you noted the playboy scientist. As to others, Astrophysicist's and Astronomers come to mind.
2:16 THEY'RE GONNA NEED 'BOUT TREE-FIDDY! GODDAMN LOCH NESS MONSTER! I genuinely like this bad, awful movie. 'Narm Charm' I guess? I first saw it when I was in my single-digit ages. I expected it to be just another Godzilla-ish Kaiju film, and didn't realize it was actually a JAWS knock-off. At least, up until all the uncensored blood and gore arrived. I had vivid and disturbing memories of the movie for years afterwards.
I enjoyed it as a schoolkid in the USSR in 1979 -- we did not have many monster movies, and this one was a huge hit. It was dubbed into Russian, like all foreign films were at the time. 30 years later I bought an American DVD with the original Japanese dialogue and English subtitles... It's a Toei movie, and I like it better than Toho's Godzilla franchise -- the monsters seem a tad more realistic.
All I can think of is Gene Hackman's with-it, studly heroic priest character from The PoseidonAdventure. No thoughts and prayers with that man. He grabbed Shelly Winters by the ass and gave her a shove.
I seem to remember that it was either Stella Stevens or Carol Lynley who received the ass grab. But as I saw the movie only once I could well be mistaken (and probably am). But hey, maybe Rev. Father Horneye grabbed all three. Hammina Hammina Hammina!!! Oh those frisky Jesuits! "There has to be a morning af-ter...." Yeah...O.K. ...whatever.
When my wife went back to college I talked her into taking geography cause I knew I couldn’t trust her around one of those cavorting geology instructors.
Sheeeeze, this is a weird one. I saw just the goriest, most unpleasant moments edited into a party reel of horror film clips back in the 1980s. I spent years trying to identify and then acquire the film. Now that I have, I am shocked at what a strange film it is.
'The Refridgerator' featured a sexy plumber as its hero. His name is Juan, he has a moustache and looks like he may have accidentally wandered onto set from a porn movie. Definitely a movie worthy of Dark Corners, where else can you see a pedal bin eat a man's leg clean off?
The winner featuring under utilized professions would be a movie entitled RECTALATOR featuring a developing love story between a proctologist and parasitologist on the trail of and fighting monsters which erupt from people's anuses. Imagine the marketing possibilities tie ins of toys which when the figure is bent over a monster pops out of the figure's ass. The tag line for the movie posters might be, "When the perverts are the least scary thing in the restroom."
These reviews are hilarious ...keep them coming...and please review Santa Claus Conquers The Martians,Anal In Auschwitz and The giant Claw. (It's as big as a battleship)
Hi there Dark Corner Reviews. Love your channel and I came across this old video of yours. I've been trying to write my own version of the film., and I've found some interesting info about the films pre-production in a G-Fan magazine. The earliest story concept was titled GThe Giant Monster Bird vs. The Giant Dragon God” (大怪鳥対大竜神, Dai kaisho tai Dai ryujin) The story was even more like Jaws as it was set on an island rather than an inland lake. In this first iteration, an unspecified dinosaur (inspired by the Japanese sea dragon deity Ryujin) was to battle a giant Archaeopteryx in the vicinity of Kisogashima in the Satsunan Islands. In a later treatment, which is very similar to the finished film, as a few differences. The story takes place in 197X. It starts with a series of earthquakes and climate changes that scientists predict will lead to a new ice age. The situation leads to "political disturbances" in Japan, which is never hinted in the film. In August, a group of campers is enjoying the autumn-like weather in Aokigahara forest. (Mt. Fuji is already capped with more snow than normal." The young woman who falls into the ice cave is found by the campers and utters "a few strange words" before she dies instead of going into a coma in the film. The practical geologist, Takashi Arakawa, was originally named Setsu Serizawa. The treatment reveals a little more about his back story. His father neglected him and his mother to study at the foot of Mt. Fuji. His father published a paper stating that dinosaurs still existed around Lake ai. He was ridiculed for the theory, and dies years later. Shohei Muku (in the movie, the friend of Ashizawa's father) is reveled to he a junior high school teacher, a detail that is not in the film. The eels that are seen inside the motorhome of Akiko are in here bed, not on the floor. The end of the story is similar but Takashi/Sestu and Akiko do survive and the treatment ends with them gazing at the clouds, which are reflecting the molten lava. Extra Fun Fact: Upon seeing the film for the first time, the president of Toei harshly described the film as "an embarrassment." What would you do to make the film better?
1:10 Actually "Rockhounds" are Mineralogists, not simply "Geologists" - - that word is used so lazily 1:33 Uhh-oh, is this another clone of RODAN? 3:24 A Plesiosaur is a dinosaur, but a Pterodactyl is not
#DarkCornersReview. Happy you guys tackled this....wonderful....film? Admittedly....this film is basically fecal matter on celluloid. It disappoints on all levels..something I wish you had more time to cover. It was a sort of "holy grail" for me as a child and kaiju fan, having read about it in a fanzine in the early nineties. I looked EVERYWHERE. It was not until I reached my first year of high school where I found it through the greatest mail order service ever, Video Screams. I won't get in to detail, but I HIGHLY suggest looking them up. Anyways...I received it a day before Xmas. I invited no-one over, because being a freshman in high school and being a monster movie nerd....especially kaiju....was an instant recipe for never having any sort Of social life. Whatever the case, I could still enjoy it myself. I did not. I had more.fun playing with my Bandai toys and plastic dinosaurs than I did almost making my eyes bleed watching this. I thought "Hey! It will be better subtitled!". It was not. I thought "Hey it came out a few years after Terror of Mechagodzilla! It is bound to have advanced effects, since Toei boasted about how much they spent on their first daikaiju eiga! Hell....they put out The Street fighter, and other Chiba films. It HAS to.be epic!!". None of these assumptions were even close to being true. Quite frankly, if you can't have the monsters anywhere on screen till the last three minutes, and it is a GIANT MONSTER film, you should be ashamed to even be associated with it. What a shit Christmas to boot, as well. God I hate the holidays. Whatever the case. I will always love your reviews #DarkCornersReview
A Japanese Country & Western performer? Really? As it just so happens, back in the day when I was attending medical college I actually took time off to go on tour with a C&W band. We called ourselves "The Wailin' Jennings" and our first single was titled "Gonna Bake Me Up A Big Pink Burrito (and Hang It in Your Tree)". And you would never guess that our song actually made into the Contemporary Country charts. Yep, we scored No. 28 in the Country Top Forty. Not too shabby, eh? This has nothing whatsoever to do with this crummy movie and the previous review. It also has nothing even remotely to do with my training to become a physician. But let me assure you: I am indeed a fully board certified and state licensed M.D. What's that? You don't believe me? Well, here. I'll even prove it to you. Bend Over.
I had no idea that "playboy geologist" was a thing before I started watching this channel. I was watching an episode of "Space 1999" recently, and bugger me if there wasn't a playboy geologist "hero" in that! (The episode was fairly crap; indeed, I'm beginning to suspect the whole series was.)
I've since seen the first episode, and it was indeed half-decent. They did actually make a ludicrous premise somewhat believable. Overtones from the Moon segment of "2001: A Space Odyssey" were unexpected! I still can't fathom how anyone thought it was a series that would work, though; even before the issues with the casting, writing, etc.
SPACE: 1999 was indeed mostly crap, as are all STAR TREK clones/copies/imitations, etc. (with the glorious exception of BABYLON 5, which was kinda magnificent). But at least 1999 starred Martin Landau, so I guess that's something.
Apparently, this film was quite a big hit in the USSR. Not because of the monsters, but because the audience liked looking at the trappings of a modern capitalist society! And they probably liked Japanese country music. Obviously.
So a Plesiosaur and a Pterodactyl. They couldn't give me any dinosaurs so I could at least say well dinosaurs are suppose to be the ancestor of modern birds so at least in a round about way I have a giant bird.
How about the heroic scientist with a personality as thin as a sheet of paper? Gog, Magnetic Monster, even Creature From the Black Lagoon, although its sequel did have Clint Eastwood.
Look up the old radio serial Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. He's the freelance insurance investigator with the action-packed expense account. Giving those playboy geologists a real run for their money!
Looks like a late 1970s Japanese answer to The Giant Claw of 1957, which pre-dates it by 20 years. What with the cheap-o pterodactyl, cheesy effects, and bad dubbing. I'd put both films on my personal list of bad sci-fi films. 🙀💩😵😱
I’m not sure how many women would put on a wetsuit and dive down to a lake to warn their abusive boyfriend about depth charges about to destroy them, but what do I know?
Ah, I fondly remember my days as a geologist playboy. What a rockin' good time.
Shale... quartzite... amethyst... The stories I could tell!
The pterodactyl looks like the skeleton of The Giant Claw
But that thing was made in Mexico :-)
Normand Richardson agreed 😂
Best explanation for a monster: ‘Why wouldn’t there be a monster?’
Great review. If I’m not mistaken,that dinosaur was built by Toho Studios for a Hammer Films picture called Nessie that was never produced.
There are actually two characters I can think of that have a more glamorous and action-filled job than you would normally think. First, there is Peter (played by Michael Sopkiw), the two-fisted, action hero/electrician/TV repairman in "Devil Fish" (1984). Second is Mark Jackson (played by Robert Dunham), the insurance investigator who knows karate and is a decent marksman from "Dogora" (1964). Not even monsters from space can stop this self-proclaimed "Diamond G-Man" from his job of busting up a gang of diamond thieves.
I imagine most action heroes have 2 fists. :-D

I remember being very confused the first time i saw this movie. That feeling did not improve with subsequent viewings 😵
Gappasaurus mst3k made fun of it🙃
I need to make a compiled list of playboy geologist films for when I next visit my fellow geology graduates
You mean the ones where he gets his rocks off?
*...Usher!!*
@@skylx0812 Well, remember Pat Boone in Journey to the Center of the Earth. It even has the dinosaurs!
I hope my late geologist cousin would have enjoyed that joke as well.
@@brucefritzges8759 Only giant creatures I remember from that film are the Dimetrodon, and they aren't dinosaurs.
I think most of the film's budget was spent on hiring Japanese Parliament Funkadelic to do the score.
I want it on vinyl
Money well spent, you'll admit.
Simultaneously the best and least appropriate soundtrack ever
Now I know where all the dinosaur FX models from THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT went; looks like the film makers went to a garage sale at British Lion Studios.

The Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds? "Deep...." MST3K KTMA 21.
“Either the Corleone family was trying to send a message or...”
Nice one... but why can’t it be both? The idea that kaiju are a mafia plot against the Yakuza sounds like a great concept for a Takeshi Miikke movie.

Jurassic park has NOTHING on this movie!!!😆😆😆
Roe-zee Cheeks land of the lost 1974 god bless thattv show☺️
Neither on ''Dinosaur Island''(1994)
I remember seeing this as a kid years ago. And I literally was thinking it reminded me of The Giant Claw...
Shockwave 2 agreed but the effects were good though🙂📼
I just watched this movie on RUclips three days ago! I feel like YOU might be in MY dark corner of this sick world.
I'm sorry. This movie...looks...AWESOME!
And I never knew that plesiosaurs were not included in the dinosaur category. Dark Corners Reviews, entertaining *and* educational!

When my wife went back to college I talked her into taking geography cause I knew I couldn’t trust her around one of those cavorting geology instructors.
this movie's flavor is Cheese&Onion
Scuba watches became a mid 70's fashion accessory.

A more than cursory knowledge of archaeology makes pretty clear what Indiana Jones's life and career would really be like.
"Somewhere in this lake... there's a dead Japanese Country-Western Singer!"
Actually if the Giant Claw used something close to the flying creature in this movie then it would of been pretty good

Did I hear someone say...GREENLIGHT THIS SON OF A BITCH! LIKE RIGHT NOW INSTANTLY!!
My only real problem with it is that part at 4:35. Is this the only Kaiju film with a "good guy" who acts like that? Hopefully.
This movie reminded me a lot of Empire of the ants And I love how they fuse discovery with dinosaurs
Fun Fact: The late, great Robert Lansing, who starred in Empire Of The Ants, did his Army service in Japan.
Saw this film uncut on and on mst3k on RUclips the dinosaur effects were good but terrrible story though you should check out planet of dinosaurs 🙂

The problem of this movie lies in its low budget and cheesy special effect. It`s a national disgrace for Japanese Kaiju movies.

You’ve seen Japanese country western singers too? Well, excuse me, princess!
Looks like a late 1970s Japanese answer to The Giant Claw of 1957, which pre-dates it by 20 years. What with the cheap-o pterodactyl, cheesy effects, and bad dubbing.
I'd put both films on my personal list of bad sci-fi films. 🙀💩😵😱
Of course, now that birds have been technically reclassified as dinosaurs, the title a bit redundant. "Legend of Dinosaurs and Also More Dinosaurs."
Archaeologists. The Indiana Jones franchise
Not a film, but the entire cyberpunk genre is based on the assumption that computer programmers are cool and dangerous.
