Frankenstein....isn't that a Jewish name?

Frankenstein Conquers the World/Furankenshutain tai chitei kaijû Baragon(1965)

How awesome is it when you get a far more competent story than you could ever hope for? During the close of WWII the Gremans assist the Japanese in building genetically modified fighters. How to do this? Start with the Frankenstein monster's heart (which never stops beating) and go from there. Then the bomb hits. 15 years later a wild boy shows up, eating livestock and horribly mutated by radiation but not dying. Throw in a few mad growth spurts, some misunderstandings galore, one or two giant monsters (depending on whether you watch the Japanese or American release) and you have yourself one hell of a great film! I highly recommend...
