Gappa (Japanese: 大巨獣ガッパ, Hepburn: Daikyojū Gappa, lit. 'Giant Beast Gappa') is a 1967 Japanese kaiju film directed by Haruyasu Noguchi.[1] The film is about a group of Japanese reporters who discover an infant monster called a Gappa on Obelisk Island.

The reporters cage the creature and take it to Japan where it becomes a media attraction. This angers the natives of the island and Gappa's full-grown parents, who head toward Japan to find their child. Its plot virtually duplicates that of the 1961 British film Gorgo.

Full feature in 1080p upscaled:

Well, now — not being familiar with Japanese sci-fi, I was surprised to see that the monstera were giant birds, but they had arms and legs, and the walked upright.

The fact that the story resembles Gorgo, but has two monsters instead of just the Mommy Monster, makes me wonder what Gorgo would have been like if (a) stop motion had been used, and (b) there had been a male and a female adult dinosaur attack London. Cool
