Movie Reviews of Latitude Zero
Movie Review: Another 1960's Insane Japanese Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
Can you really rate these films on a 1 to 5 scale? They're all 5's in my book. This is a rather rare Japanese take on that whole "secret" place where everything is better located somewhere on earth, in this case latitude zero. This film is somewhat "normal" until the last 1/3 when it explodes in a burst of insanity right around the time Cesar Romero - in a wonderfully crazy scene only the Japanese can pull off, "creates" a griffin with a human brain. Miniatures galore - this time futuristic submarines; assorted monsters - a giant sized one (though small by Toho standards) and human-sized ones; explosions, explosions, explosions; Akira Ifukube score (not his best - lots of rehashed themes from earlier movies but it's still Ifukube); typically uneven but always way fun "old school" Eiji Tsburaya effects; directed by Ishiro "the keeper of the grain" Honda (Kurosawa's dubbed him this name when Honda was an assistant director working under him); an insane trippy plot. What can I say? Only saw this one once - on UHF TV many a moon ago. It never re-aired for some reason and just popped up on DVD this year. Beautiful transfer, and this rare film is really a treat for Tohophiles. Instead of dubbing, the Japanese actors (see if you can spot "Hiata" in a bit role) including "Miko's dad from Space Giants" all spoke English - didn't know a lick of what they were saying. Great stuff and a "must see". If you bothered to look up this obscure title on Amazon, ya know ya gotta.
