Ignoring the warnings of natives that Gappa will punish them, an expedition takes a strange reptile which just hatched from a huge egg back home to Japan with them. It grows until it's a proper monster, and then its enraged parents come around to trash cities like Godzilla on a mild day, stepping slowly and carefully on buildings. I think it is the poor special FX that are good for laughs in the first place, not the intentional ingredients such as the script. Even though an inspiration by good old "King Kong" is obvious, "Gappa" tries to be somewhat original since it tells the story of a monster family instead of rivaling creatures. The naive scene of daddy giving junior a first flight lesson sticks to my mind. Bad? Yes! But funny enough not to regret the time I spent watching it.
