Console best movie i've ever seen.

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Benedito Dias Rodrigues I really love this kind of sci-fi movie,exploring such weird idea where a man was exposed from nuclear bomb's radiation and became gradually giant,the first movie was so successfully that got this sequel,now the beast arise in Mexico rural area...curiously the final scene when the giant monster died electrified the movie turns black and white in color until the end....here in Brazil came out in double feature with both movies...amazing trash movie from the fifties!! Resume: First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 5

thejcowboy22 An irate Mr. Swanson is frustrated to the whereabouts of his supply packed truck in the area of Guavos,Mexico.. Joyce Manning (Sally Fraser) sister to the late Glen Manning The 60' Colossal Man hears about the story and meets with the exasperated Mr. Swanson in a Beverly Hills Hotel suite. The spacious room has a well stocked bar which makes you wonder who has a drinking problem? Anyway after a final drink Joyce is off to Mexico to meet with the Mexican Police chief. The Police Chief explains that a young man named Miguel was brought in to the local hospital in shock, screaming Giant man in Spanish. Joyce and the officer went back to the spot where Miguel was found. The tire tracks of a truck end and with no truck in sight. Joyce believes that 60' brother Glen is still alive and well living behind a large Mexican Mountain range feasting on trucks for sustenance.Enter Major Baird and Dr. Carmicheal who has a penchant for making Chloral hydrate bread in mass quantities. Major Baird and Joyce venture out in the hills and find a graveyard of discarded and weathered trucks with Glen's sticky fingerprints on one of the trucks. I believe it was the Cheetos truck. Anyway a rumbling noise followed by a loud moan and overly disfigured Glen Appears in all his Baldness minus one eye. Joyce and the Major hide to one side as Glen with a new truck in hand digs through to find food scraps inside the rear compartment, moans again and throws the truck in the valley below.Love that scene! The next plan is to capture our Giant man by loading a truck filled with chemically filled bread. The chase scene is also worth watching as well. Off to L.A. in a cargo plane as Glen is flown Non-stop to LAX airport where Mayor Roy Gordon objects having a Giant land in his airport. After several rejections the Mayor concedes and lets the Glen filled plane land. The next scene shows Glen in an airplane hanger tied down fighting his way out as Glen and the Army get involved in a game of tug-of-war which Glen wins and crawls out and on to the tarmac's of LAX. Glen smashes a roof of one of the warehouses but is gunned down with sleeping gas. Joyce only wants the best for her brother but the argument here is that Glen has little or no intelligence to speak off and by all accounts has brain trauma. Glen escapes again through the streets of L.A. without anyone seeing him on the sunset strip. Finally Glen is spotted in Griffith Park as the Army with spot lights and weaponry are ready for a final confrontation. Laurie Edwards from nearby Glendale left her sweater home and went on field trip to the nearby observatory with her class. Mrs. Edwards drove over to give her the sweater but Glen beat everyone to the punch by picking up the school bus with Laurie and her classmates inside. Now we have a hostage situation on our hands and Joyce gets into the mix as a mediator. Poor Joyce, Poor Laurie, Poor Laurie's Mom. Poor classmates and Poor Glen. What a sequel. As for Glen what's next? What ever it is it will be done in a Colossal way.

zetes The sequel to The Amazing Colossal Man, which has never been on DVD due to rights issues. I saw that one on TNT's Monster Vision years ago. I think I may have seen this one, too. If not on TNT, I may have seen it on MST3K. I may have also seen Earth vs. the Spider and Village of the Giants on MST3K, too - they loved Bert I. Gordon. It's funny that all three of these films have such low ratings (none are above 3.0), because, while they aren't good films, they are nowhere near that bad. They're pretty typical B movies. War of the Colossal Beast actually has a pretty emotional core, and the film's final moments are quite touching. It also has a fantastic opening sequence (Gordon really seems to know how to open his movies - all three of these start off beautifully). We don't see the Colossal Beast, just a truck driver driving full speed, frequently looking behind him and screaming. Dean Parkin is quite good as the title character, who has become a near-mindless monster, half his face torn off, after being nearly killed and falling off Hoover Damn in the first film. Like most B movies, the plot is pretty lean, and there are long stretches when nothing's really happening. There's also a nearly ten minute stretch which I think is just footage from the previous film.

sol1218 **SPOILERS** After being hit by a number of bazooka shells and falling some 700 feet from the top of the Hoover Dam 60 foot Glenn Manning, Duncan Parkin, somehow survived and ended up, flowing downstream, in Mexico. It's there that Manning, the survivor of a plutonium blast, started raiding grocery trucks to fill his enormous stomach and keep from starving to death.It's when American gun club owner John Swason's, George Becwar, grocery truck was snatched by Manning with his young Mexican driver Miguel, Robert Hernandez, losing his mind in the process that the truth came out that the big guy was still around and causing trouble. It's Manning's sister Joyce, Sally Fraser, who by watching a news report on the incident suspected that her "Big" brother had survived in his battle with the US Army as was now determined to find him. The final evidence that Manning was in fact alive is when Swanson's dismantled truck was found with a giant fingerprint indented in it that matched the so-called deceased Manning that was proof positive that he in fact was alive. The problem now is how to apprehend him and bring Manning back to the US for farther study! In how plutonium rays effects the growth process in both man and animal!Manning is fit to be tied, and is, as he's brought back to the US, after being captured in the wilds of Mexico, in a giant US Army cargo military plane to L.A. Despite all the precautions to keep Manning, who lost an eye and half of his brain in his battle with the US Army, "tied up" he escapes, twice not once, from his confinement as he causes havoc all throughout the L.A district. ***SPOILERS**** In the end Manning just got sick and tired tearing the city apart and seeing that there's no future in him being the biggest guy in the neighborhood he did the only thing left for him to do. With him destined to go through life wearing a giant makeshift diaper, since there's no clothes that can possible fit him, Manning put an end to it all by electrocuting himself, by grabbing a live 50 foot power line, and did it in living color!The most unusual thing about the movie "War of the Colossal Beast" is that its star Duncan Parkin as Glenn Manning was overshadowed by actor Glenn Langan who played Glenn Manning in the previous movie that the film was based on "The Amazing Colossal Man"! In fact it was Langan, in a number of long flashbacks, that had more screen time as far more lines in the film that Parkin did! There's also in the movie George Becwar as gun club and truck owner John Swanson who three years earlier became immortalizes, in bad movie lovers circles, as the overstuffed and arrogant Prof. Valadimir Strowski in the Ed Wood bad movie classic "Bride of the Monster". It was Prof. Strowski who ended up being a victim of what the films star Bela Lugosi, as Dr. Eric Vornoff, called the "product of my genius" the alleged "Monster of Lake Marsh". Which in fact was a rubber motorized octopus with its motor conked out!
