Frankenstein vs. Baragon

From Wikizilla

Also known as Frankenstein Conquers the World, Frankenstein Vs. Baragon is a 1965 movie by Toho.

Summary

During WWII the Germans, who were in posession of the, still living, heart from the original Frankenstein monster, sent it to their Japanese allies to keep it safe from the war raging in Europe. Unknown to the Germans (and Japanese alike) the United States was going to drop the Atomic bomb on Japan.

The radiation from an Atomic bomb irradiated the heart of the Frankenstein monster, and began to mutate it. The heart regenerated a new body around it, that of a ferral boy, resembling a cross between the Frankenstein monster and a caveman.

When the boy was discovered living in the wild he was taken to the city here he was studied and examined by doctors and scientist. They finally came to the realization that the boy was in fact, the Frankenstein monster, resurrected and mutated. The boy began to grow rapidly in both height and strength. As a precaution it was ordered that the boy to be put in to a holding cage. Eventually the boy grew too large and too strong, and escaped his cage, disappearing back in to the wild.

At this point another monster, Baragon, who could use a heat beam emitted from his mouth to burn and burrow his way through the ground, was awakened and began terrorizing the region. During Baragon's attacks, he remained mostly unseen by witnesses. Naturally, when reports came in about a giant monster attacking people it was assumed that it had to be Frankenstein on a rampage.

When scientists, out looking for Frankenstein, came under attack by Baragon, they finally realized that they had been wrongfully blaming Frankenstein the whole time, and that there was a second monster on the loose. Luckily Frankenstein showed up to fight Baragon, in the defense of the humans. The two monsters fought fiercely, and Baragon even used his heat beam to set the nearby forrest on fire. Just like Doctor Frankenstein's original monster, this current form was afraid of the flames. Overcoming his fear of the fire, Frankenstein did get the upper hand on Baragon and defeated him by apparently breaking his neck. As Frankenstein stood on a cliff in victory, a fissure opened the ground beneath him and he was swallowed up by the earth, and was not seen again.

Alternate Ending

There was also an alternate ending for the movie, in which, after defeating Baragon, instead of falling in to a fissure in the ground, Frankenstein is attacked by a Giant Octopus. During the fight Frankenstein is dragged in to the sea and presumably drown and eaten by the Giant Octopus.
