Gorgo on the Megascreen
"Giant lizard Megascreen mayhem! A giant reptile tears through coastal communities before being transported to London, where we discover he’s merely a 65-metre-tall infant! A shameless British Godzilla cash-in, Gorgo may lack the kaiju classic’s lasting impact, but it's a must watch for old-school monster-movie buffs. "
