is a 1998 Japanese film directed by Takeshi Miyasaka.
Overview Unlike the company's representative kaiju film The X from Outer Space (1967), Giant Monster Appears in Tokyo and What to Do with the Dead Kaiju? (2022) are comedy films avoiding direct depictions of rampaging giant monsters.
This film involves off-screen appearances of two reptilian monsters, a "fire-breathing dinosaur-esque lizard" and a "jet-powered flying turtle", as a direct parody to both Godzilla and Gamera, along with its title reminiscent of the Gamera-related Warning from Space (1956). Several stakeholders from these kaiju franchises also participated in the 1998 film.
Shochiku's The Next Generation: Patlabor (2014) introduced a presumed etymological reference to the film, "Giant Monster Appears in Atami", which is also a reference to various kaiju and tokusatsu productions most notably Warning from Space (1956) by Daiei Film and Gappa: The Triphibian Monster (1967) by Nikkatsu., September 19, 2020, ニュージェネシリーズをチーフ助監督として支え続けている男・内田直之監督。田口は『TNGパトレイバー』「大怪獣熱海に現わる」以来の付き合い。
