Now, you may rectum… I mean, reckon … that a giant ass [aka arse] doesn’t offer much by way of creativity in its design — and you’d be right. Butt … sorry, BUT what justifies its inclusion here is the sheer, crazy, ASStonishingly tasteless audacity of making a movie that features a Godzilla-sized atomically mutated rear end attacking and destroying a major city. The concept is too bizarre NOT to be included in our list of Crazy Kaiju. It may not be a very “sophisticated” film (see trailer below), or even as good as it could have been — and it may be true that it takes way too long for the giant-monster ass to appear. But it’s probably the only giant-monster ass movie you’ll ever see — and all the references to Godzilla/Mothra (especially the two singing fairies that provide a musical commentary throughout) stamp it as kaiju through and through.
