There is a battle between the two monsters towards the end of the film, which was entertaining and even exciting at times, and definitely kept the pace of the picture going until that final, incredible scene it would leave off on. Headless bodies and missing limbs and so forth are all shown with one memorable scene featuring the creature carrying the body of a man in its jaws before one has to assume, it consumes him. A little further death ensues, another dinosaur, this time a Rhamphorhynchus makes an appearance while Takashi and Akiko, the woman who loves him, simply try to stay alive.įor a film such as this, it is actually quite bloody and there is a fair bit of gore to be found throughout as the Plesiosaurus makes a meal of more than one person. Cue up some strange disappearances and killings which eventually come to light as the actions of a giant Plesiosaurus and things really start to get interesting. Main character Takashi is soon introduced as are those that will support him throughout the film and being the geologist that he is, he wants to investigate. The plot is simple enough as some sort of earthquake unearths some giant eggs near Mount Fuji which eventually begin to hatch.
No, what makes this movie as silly as it is all falls down to some of the choices made by the makers of this film, whether story or soundtrack or whatever.
Sure, the monsters do not look all that good, though better compared to some of the poorer examples of the medium like those found in certain Gamera films, but they manage to evoke what is needed and make the movie better for it. As far as kaiju movies go, Legend of Dinosaurs & Monster Birds is a little cliché and about as cheesy as they come but at the end of the day, a lot of fun.
