Battle in Outer Space 1959

Never seen this old Japanese fifties flick but I love the space tech in it!
Like the Green Slime it's full of great mecha!

Got it on DVD import from Japan (who are also region 2 like us in Europe) Great fun. Toho Kingdom is a great website that covers this and other Japanses SF movies. The site also has picture of all the model spacecraft and vehicles (mecha) from these sort of Japanese SF movies. Site here-

Nice vehicles in that! Incl the KLM DC4. :)
And NY and Tokyo get clobbered again to uphold tradition. I'll have to try and see the entire thing now.
