When heads of state gather at the G8 summit in Japan, Guilala -- the intergalactic monster that had been banished from the earth in The X from Outer Space -- returns to ravage the Japanese countryside and threaten the world leaders. Military strikes prove futile against the beast, but a reporter learns that one rural community possesses a strange ritual that might influence the creature. Minoru Kawasaki directs this campy satire.

The Monster X Strikes Back: Attack the G8 Summit

I don’t even know what to do after this.

I love when a movie can be a completely different genre than its predecessor. This is a sort of political parody with a sci-fi monster, whereas The X From Outer Space is a pure sci-fi space monster flick. I miss the retro futuristic aesthetic of The X From Outer Space but this is such a unique experience and they’re both great in their own way. It’s definitely an acquired taste.

President Burger took me out.
