Monster Challenging!

Sven aired this again last week, as part of the the double feature.  It was the second half, so I didn't watch it.  However, I have seen it plenty, what with owning the DVD.  The stills were omnipresent in monster mags and books, as it is a great looking monster.  Since it was a large prop it could interact directly with the cast, and with skillful editing the attacks looked great.  So the pictures of the mollusc attacking Audrey Dalton always looked scary.  Hence the reason the pictures were used so often.  It sure made me want to see the movie, I will tell you what.

289. Jack the Giant Killer (1962)

                   

HOTW- Electric Wave Tackle

 From KamenRiderFandom- Yuriko Misaki was a newly finished cyborg ready to serve the evil Black Satan organization but she was still inactive. Everything changed as her soon-to-be best friend Shigeru Jo entered the room she was staying in trying to find a way out of Black Satan's secret lair, found her on an operating table and awakens her. After some talk he convinced her to come with him and together with a good friend to many Kamen Riders, Tobee Tachibana they fought the Black Satan as Kamen Rider Stronger and the Electronic Wave Humanoid Tackle for quite some time. Over time she fell in love with him. But sadly Yuriko gave her life to defeat the evil Dr. Kate in order to save Shigeru from being poisoned. This would forever haunt him and pushed him to undergo surgery in order attain the even more powerful (and dangerous) Charge Up form.
