Gappa the Triphibian Monster
This movie has a 0% Approval Rating Based on 0 Reviews Read Reviews
Release Date: Sunday, January 1st 1967,
The natives of an untouched island paradise have kept the secret of their island to themselves for hundreds of years. However, a group of scientists and a greedy entrepreneur are making plans to turn this Eden into an amusement park (shades of JURASSIC PARK), and in the course of their research, they discover Gappa, a baby dinosaur, which they abduct from the island, thus provoking the wrath of Gappa's protective parents. A true classic from the country that specialized in giant monster features, GAPPA has easily earned a position alongside the better known classics of the genre like GODZILLA and MOTHRA.
