A British take on a kaiju flick, Gorgo unleashes a scaly Suitmation monster on London. It plunders as much from King Kong as Godzilla: disturbed by a volcanic eruption off the coast of Ireland, an oversized prehistoric critter is captured, chained and exhibited as the Eighth Wonder of the World – albeit in Battersea Park, not Broadway. But an amusing twist finds an even larger, even stompier beast descending on the Big Smoke to free her child. Where were you, Mama Kong?
