Daimajin quite literally means great demon god in Japanese, and let me tell you this trilogy holds up to the name. Like King Kong and Godzilla, Japan created this amazing monster focused trilogy in the early 1960s. However, it still has roots in popular culture, just four years ago a TV series came out that focuses around the same characters. Leave it to Japan to create an awesome large monster genre flick!
The Daimajin trilogy kicked off in 1966 with the first movie in the series Daimajin. In 1966 a second film was released staring Kôjirô Hongô, Shiho Fujimura, Taro Marui, Takashi Kanda, and in 1966 the series was completed with Return of Daimajin.
