This 1958 black and white Kaiju flick by Ishiro Honda largely consists of the military's numerous attempts to kill Varan. The monster doesn't destroy a whole lot though, and there's not any city smashing to speak of. The Varan costume looks good when it walks on all fours but kind of dumb in flight. Some of the miniatures are cool and endearing with their visible strings and wobbly motions. This has many of the tropes you'd expect from an early giant monster flick, but if you're a Kaiju completist, you need to make sure and add this to your list.
