The War of the Gargantuas (フランケンシュタインの怪獣 サンダ対ガイラ Furankenshutain no Kaijū: Sanda tai Gaira?, lit. Frankenstein's Monsters: Sanda vs. Gaira) is a 1966 Japanese kaiju film produced by Toho. The film is a pseudo-sequel to the 1965 film Frankenstein Conquers the World and is directed by Ishirō Honda, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya and stars Russ Tamblyn, Kumi Mizuno, and Kenji Sahara.
The film tells the story of two giant, hairy humanoids called Frankensteins (Gargantuas in the American version) that were spawned from the discarded cells of Frankenstein's monster from the previous film. A green one raised in the sea named Gaira (ガイラ?, from kai, "sea") is violent and savage, while a brown one who resides in the Japan Alps, named Sanda (サンダ?, from san, "mountain") is friendly and docile. The film follows the investigation and military engagements of these creatures until their climactic confrontation in Tokyo.
