Gappa the Triphibian Monsters/Daikyojû Gappa (1967)
Dir: Haruyasu Noguchi
***
The monster family unit. Momma and Papi Gappa come after their baby when a crew of scientists kidnap him for a theme park. Originally intended as a light hearted spoof of monster films. However, I think the intentions were ultimately lost in the transfer. It was okay for not being a Toho film and the ending made me choke up a little...the company that produced this had little success and became the leader in soft core Asian porn of the 70"s but still went belly up. Gappa then became public domain.
