If You've Ever Seen the Toho Film "Yôsei Gorasu" aka "Gorath" (1962)


You can probably skip this one. The plot remains the same....

WHEN will screenwriters either GET an original idea or at least have the decency to acknowledge the fact when they're stealing someone else's?

I seriously doubt the Asylum cares considering they also created masterpieces such as Snakes on a Train, The Day The Earth Stopped, and Transmorphers. Also there are many movies about giant asteroids (Armageddon, Deep Impact, Etc.), it's not just about the idea it's about the execution.

That said, yea you can skip this one just because it's so bad it's laughable. Though since it's so bad it's laughable you might not want to.

Signature.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to just the giant asteroid part. I meant they pretty much lifted the entire screenplay of Gorath.
