The MONSTER Movie From 1998 You’ve Probably Never Seen

- Gargantua is a 1998 science fiction monster movie directed by Bradford May. It was riding off of the success of Jurassic Park and the Roland Emmerich Godzilla remake but it’s honestly a so bad it’s good CGI / practical effect made for TV film that will make you laugh and lose your mind with how much you will be smiling from the hilariocity of it all.

Thank you very much.
I love your channel.
I love your comments and you blessed me with this great movie! I had a blast watching it!
@@Dragoncurve
Look at The Phantoms with Affleck.
I'd almost forgotten about this flick. Saw some of it on Sci-Fi Channel when it actuality aired more science fiction movies than horror/thrillers.
Ur crazy bro, lmao
@@Dragoncurve I enjoy listening to your discussions in every video and so far. . .almost agree with everything you said; except The Shallows (hate that flick).
I remember this movie. Saw it when I was 5 years old. Rewatched it a couple of years ago. A good nostalgia trip... but I can't say the film aged well.
I remember watching this on the FOX Network back in May 1998, a week before the release of GODZILLA '98.
They even showed it on SCIFI a year later for its Christmas Day Movie Marathon.
DUDE! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY YEARS IVE BEEN TRYIN TO GOOGLE THIS MOVIE!!!
Bro you've just unlocked an old memory of mine!
I used to have this movie on VHS, loved it so much as a kid
Dear lord… I think I have seen this movie somewhere in my life before. I totally watch this whole review and was like, “Never heard of it.” Then you get to the kid feeding cheeseballs to the monster seen and I was like, “Oh no! Wait!!! This movie!!!” And then it all came back to me like a suppressed memory. 😂
I remember Gargantua as vividly as a fever dream. I think I may have seen this once upon a time.
Gonna hafta rewatch it.
I know you don't cover a lot of shows, but you should do the canceled tv series called "Surface"
I’ll look into it!
Now THIS is a blast from the past. Had this on VHS back in the day. Got it for my birthday in 2000 because Grandma thought it was the 1998 Godzilla movie that I'd been asking for.
were you dissapointed, cuz it sound like it was more fun
SAMEEE LMMMFFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OMG... I remember this 😅😂😢 like Jurassic Park the lost world meets a broke ass Godzilla ... 😅😂
She did you a favor.
On top of chasing JP2 and Racing to beat Godzilla (1998) it also follows a crazy trend of this big boom in the late 90s of "Made for TV" mini serieses like Peter Benchley's creature (1998) The Beast (1996), The Oddysey (1997), Merlin (1998) kinda ending with Noah's Ark (1999) etc. Honestly you could probably do an episode on the mid/late 90s mini series boom alone! Some real gems in there.
I remember watching this when it aired and recording it on vhs😂. I also remember the same for the Nick Fury agent of shield tv movie
Klayton, Adam Baldwin also played Jayne Cobb in the cult Sci Fi Western series FIREFLY.
This was a core memory locked deep away in my subconscious and it has been awaken after all these years 😁
I remember Gargantua. I literally watched it's world premiere when it came out ... on TV, because there was no theatrical release. Fun movie, mom and dad Gargantua and the baby (forgot it's name, though I do remember it needed junk food to survive).
I remember watching this many many years ago. And then I came across it again, and I still watch it to this very day. This movie deserves a remaster.
Anyone remember "Surface" (2005)? It was a scifi series on NBC for only 1 season.
I ask because I DO remember seeing "Gargantua", and the whole kid meets baby monster, while adult monster causes chaos was used again in "Surface", which left us hanging after one season.
I remember surface, it's such an odd show. And yea it did only last the 1 season, which sucks seeing how it ended.
I'll never forget when this aired on TV on FOX I believe?! It was great the '90s was a great time
I'm so glad to see this movie being talked about. I still remember it from back in the day when Godzilla (1998) and the Jurassic Park entries out by then where all of the rage. Or like you said, that was the time when monsters movies where all in attention from one another's and it helped cement them even more than what usually it's the case. Shout out to Deep Rising and Mighty Joe Young, of course from so many others.
One amusing fact from Gargantua was that in my home country of Mexico it was put on TV and announced as "Gargantua: El Hijo de Godzilla" which translated means "Gargantua: The Son of Godzilla". So, kid me was excited that this was another Godzilla back then when I was discovering movies from the franchise bit by bit when there was no internet. Either connected to the original japanese or to the 1998 version, it didn't matter to me but that odd marketing did put that in my radar and I never forgot it.
THANK YOU FOR COVERING THIS!!, i remember this movie from my childhood and i was looking for it for years, THANKS A LOT
I saw this when it aired! I remember watching both this and Peter Benchley’s Creature made-for-TV movies around the same time.
Thank you for mentioning Gorgo, it seems like not many people give talk about that movie's premise.
I'm really old. I saw Gorgo in the theater. Loved it! 😁
I remember this one. I rented it from the video store as a kid. I distinctly recall being upset by them killing one of the adult creatures.
That’s awesome that the dude got his wish for you to review this movie. I was thinking about this movie the other day. Thank you for reminding me! Now I wonder when you’re going to talk about the Carnosaur book? 😆
I definitely remember watching this back in the day, though it only now occurred to me that it's about young Speed Racer teaming up with that one guy from Independence Day to protect Great Value Yoshi and Gorgo.
Man I miss monster movies in the 90s and 2000s. SyFy use to do a lot of fun monster movies
Thanks for covering the movie. It is so cheesy but a fun watch. They even released a book to go along with the movie. I forgot that this came out at the same time as the 1998 Godzilla movie. This should get a physical release.
Oh man! I remember this movie! Rented it at blockbuster several times!!
I remember this movie! I used to rent and watch it all the time from my local video store. Good times. Good times.
Here in Mexico was distributed under the name "Gargantua: Hijo de Godzilla (Son of Godzilla)", Chad move from the marketing guys LOL
I really enjoyed that film, I think is not a terrible Kaiju Movie (Mid at best) but the "Mockbuster" intentions overshadow it. Great video.
Good grief, that's a blast from the past! I forgot about this film. I remember watching it while on holiday and being really hyped about it, probably because I wanted to see Godzilla at the time
I first heard about it from an issue of Dark Horse Godzilla.
i loved this movie as kid for some reason, i forget that it exists all the time but every time i see that little salamander it all floods back lol
I highly recommend that you should do a video on the 1981 noir horror thriller WOLFEN, based on the 1979 novel of the same name.
Wish it was a closer adaptation of the book. The book was AMAZING
One that you need to go over is from 1991. 'Not of This World' is the name of the TV movie. Its about an electric eating monster that gets bigger and bigger every time it eats more electricity.
I didn't realize it was from the 90s. When I saw it on TV in the early 2000s, I thought it was a new movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I remember this from my childhood but I forgot the name. Childhood nostalgia unlocked. Thank you!
I remembered that movie for years but could not find anything about it nor remember the name. Thanks for helping me track it down dude. In more recent years I was like "wait why do the trailers on Sci-Fi I remember for it sound like Gorgo?".
I saw this movie in Mexico, released on TV years later and I remember having fun with it. Thanks for covering it, brings back some good memories.
oh man, thank you so much! I have literally been trying to figure out what the name of this movie was since October lol. Every google search combination came up with a tv movie you mentioned; Creature. Which, honestly was also a core memory unlocked, but this one was driving me crazy!
this was one of those movies i saw on pay tv once, had one scene stick in my head, then struggled to find it over the years, than found it on youtube :D
Love Gargantua
I actually remember seeing parts of this movie on TV when I was kid, but I never knew the name of it until now.
I remember watching this on the SciFi channel, and funnily enough, I was trying to see if I could find it somewhere to watch it, as it's been a long, long times since i've seen it lol. From what I remember, it wasn't all that bad.
I remember this!
Same here.
Saw this film completely out of the blue on TV at some point when it probably had just recently released and/or become available on TV. To be honest, my initial reaction to it was "Is this film some kind of Gorgo rip-off? They're literally using the exact same plot line of giant monsters attack human civilization because they're looking for their lost offspring."
What is Reptar doing on the Thumbnail?
Ikr!! He looks so much like reptar!!
I thought it was Rhydon.
Are you kidding? I _loved_ this movie as a kid, I even had it recorded on a VHS! Who could ever forget sweet lil’ Casey??? ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks for the video DragonCurve, Happy New Year and hug your furbabies all 🎊💙🐱💙🎊
I remember it, mainly because there were a lot of ads for it in a lot of comicbooks around the same time. I had more than one floppy that had a large ad for Gargantua on the back.
As I was watching this I was definitely thinking this was an unofficial no budget remake of Gorgo and then you said it lol
I remember seeing this when it aired on TV in 98 or 99, it was only a couple years ago I realised its on youtube lol it was back then I requested this review, happy to see it!!
I remember Gargantua from the back of my Venom comics! Can't tell you what I can remember from it, but i do remember how often it was advertised in Marvel books!
Man the memory from this, you are really unlocking core memories of the old Sci-fi Channel movies
Great videos man keep up the great work
I've been searching for the name of this movie for years 😭. I remember watching this on VHS when I was a kid.
Thank you for reviewing it!
So most of the films you've covered I've seen, but this is a movie I hadn't even heard of, so thank you for showing me this and I'm going to look for it ASAP. Thanks again!
This is crazy! I have a distinct memory of watching this movie as a small child and could always vividly remember the creature design but never knew what movie it was from. For years I thought it was a movie about a chupucabra that I watched. Thanks for clearing this up for me!
FINALLY!
Been waiting for a long time to see this video!
I'm so glad I clicked on this video because only a minute in I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE! I saw it on TV and it was so cheesy, like a fever dream. All I can ever remember from the movie is the chase scene at night through the trees where it looks like a statue being pulled on a cart.
I actually do know this movie, saw it when I was like 8/9ish. Haven’t seen it since, but even hearing about it brings one some heavy nostalgia
Yeah I remember recording this off of fox on a VHS tape. It reminded me a lot of Gorgo too. I liked the twist that #2 was just an adolecent monster, and not an adult I know its been 25 years since I saw this but wasn't the 3rd monster the dad, killed, and then the 4th, the momma appeared?
The mid-to-late 90s were gold for sci-fi films. Something that hadn't taken place since the 60s.
I have had foggy memories of this forever, never knew how to even look for it. Couldn’t remember the title or plot, just vague elements of it, mainly the baby creature since that had my attention the most as a kid.
I remember seeing all the comments asking you to review Gargantua! Definitely a cheesy monster movie trying to cash in on the 1998 era! My favorite part of this movie is how we got a whole family of monsters, a set of parents and 2 siblings lol the baby definitely resembles Yoshi from the 1993 Mario film I never caught that before!
Holy crap!!! I watched this as a little kid on TV and it's popped into my head every now and again throughout the years, but I never knew the title! Thank you so much, for covering this!
I remember it was aired once here in Mexico by the name of Gargantua: The son of Godzilla. I always remembered it but it never aired again. Watching your review got me back to those times, good stuff. Cool review and thanks for the memories ;D
I remember seeing this movie too on the Sy-Fy channel along with the Peter Benchley film 'Creature' with Craig T. Nelson.
I remember seeing this movie on some random channel in the early 2000s, but just barely... The memories of that film were so vague that it almost felt like a fever dream, just bits and pieces, most being of the Gargantua creatures. It wasn't until someone else reviewed this movie as part of a series of Godzilla 98 ripoffs (along with Yonggary iirc), that I finally realized what it was I had watched all those year ago
A core memory of this movie has been unlocked.
I forgot about this one. I'll have to rewatch it now. Thanks for covering it.
BRO!!!!!!!!! I have been searching for this film for years (Decades)! I remember watching it on the SciFi Channel when I was like 4 and since then, I have been wanting to re-watch it but I couldn't remember the name of it. THANK YOU!!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!
I remember seeing this movie when i was young but not in 1998. I saw it in a spanish channel back in 2004 or 05 and it was a blast to watch even if i don't remember it that well. It felt like Godzilla and now this video confirms my suspicions but I didn't know it came out when Godzilla 1998 released.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR A LONG TIME AND COULDN'T REMEMBER IT THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME FEVER DREAM. THANK YOU ;w;
Ah man I used to LOVE this movie! I’m sure it doesn’t quite hold up these days, but I’d absolutely love if we had a blu ray release of this
I saw this on TV back in the ‘90s and I’m still scratching my head.
I have been trying to find this movie for years! Thank you!
I have been looking for this movie for years now because I forgot the name and it got to the point where I started to think maybe I was imagining it, thank you so much for this upload.
This looks hilarious, I've added it to my to watch list. Btw great video 👍
Thanks man!
My parents recorded this on VHS for me from the TV and I have been searching for it for ages. Google searches always turn up War of the Gargantuas (which is brilliant) so I could never find it. Thanks!
You're right. I HAVEN'T seen this Monster Movie! Adding it to the list! I've watched well over 1,500 HOURS of terrible B-Movies over the last 15 years. There seems to be no end to terrible movies that are available to watch!
I thought this movie was a fever dream for such a long time. Then I got it in my head in my teenage years it was some obscure low budget American take on Varan that I must've hallucinated. Glad to see it brought to the spotlight a bit
Ive seen this before.Theres not too many monster movies I haven't seen but I certainly remember seeing it. I already like this channel.
Back when video rental stores were a thing my brother & I had a particular attachment to Gargantua. That said, this is probably the first time I've thought of it in 20 years.
I was just thinking about this movie, I remember watching it long time ago
OMG!! You've unlocked a childhood memory! I remember watching it when i was younger. We had the VCD and my sis and i would always laugh at how funny the creatures were 🤣
I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE. Holy hell what a lost memory brought back.
Bro just confirmed my memory that this film did exist and that I watched as a kid. I thought it was a fever dream.
Dude! I totally do remember this movie from childhood, and always forget & relearn the title every few years. Thank you for joggin my weed-drenched noggin again dude! Gonna check this out again later.
I saw this as a kid on TV in the early 2000s. Was confused about the title because i expected the Toho Gargantuas.😅
Wow, never even knew this existed! Now I'll have to look into it! Thank you!
Creature, Gargantua, The Beast
... Some good times in the mid/late 90s on TV.
Holy crap thats a deep cut. I had completely forgotten about this movie.
holy shit! this has been personal lost media for me for years! i remember watching this movie on tv once and at the time didint pay a lot of attention for some reason but somehow some imagery stuck with me. since then never seen it anywhere, and everytime i search it nobody could point me in the direction of the true source. this is it! this is the movie XD
I love your content.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
I have searched for this movie for so long hahaha! Serious don't meet your heros vibes lmao!
Finally you go over this movie ! Have been waiting very long time when the day will come finally it’s here 😌
(4:30) The monster is like "Can I play too?" lol. This looks and sounds like my type of movie, I defiantly gotta watch it one of these days. Not only is this movie a redo of "Gorgo" but also "Gappa" as well (at least from the sounds of it). Also listing to some of the music in the clips you showed kinda reminds me of the soundtrack from the American version of "Godzilla 2000". 🏖🐸🏐🤔🦖🧬🛸
(2:04) Thats gonna be me telling Klayton to review "TROG" next (that or "Crocodile" from 2000 directed by Tobe Hooper) lol. 🩸🦧😂🐊👮♂
Loved this movie watched it with my dad when I was a kid thanks for the review and the good memory brother
I actually remember watching this movie on the Sci Fi channel one day. My dad put it on and said that it reminded of him if Godzilla was a frog lol
FINALLY!!! I’ve been trying to find the name of this movie and anything on it!! Saw this on a thanksgiving vacation as a kid back in 2004 and remembered LOVING IT as a kid! 20 years this had lived rent free in my brain! Lol
This just unlocked a memory I thought was tucked away. I remember this silly movie
Oh god, I haven't thought about this film since I saw it when it premiered (caught it as a kid, did enjoy it but even watching your video I can't remember anything of it aside from knowing that I saw it once).
I recorded the last 3/4s of this movie on vhs when I was a kid and would watch it religiously. 😂
Remember watching this as a kid, loved anything monster related then and now lol. I gotta watch this one again even just for thr laughs or cheese
I watched this movie many times as a kid and loved it because i was so obsessed with Godzilla and Jurassic Park.
You should cover the 1997 film Aberration. It’s about mutant geckos in a small rural town in the middle of winter
