Gorosaurus - a giant bipedal dinosaur kaiju that lives on Mondo Island. This man-eater made its first debut in Toho's 1967 film, "King Kong Escapes" which featured a mechanical version of King Kong.

A newspaper ad from 1968 for a showing of King Kong Escapes at the State Theater in Austin, TX.
The State Theater still exists at 719 Congress Ave and is now known as the Stateside at the Paramount as it has been incorporated into the Paramount Theater as a secondary screening area.

I love the paper thin nonsense plots in Kaiju movies that exist solely to get two monsters in the same general area and give them an excuse to fuck each other up
King Kong Escapes is about a mad scientist who wants to use King Kong as... Mining equipment?? To sell some random unobtainium to a generic evil military power?? And he also just HAS a giant robot kong??
Godzilla vs Megalon is about some random underground people getting pissed at humans for dropping bombs on their roof. So they sick their pet giant beetle on us? And they're allies of the M Space Hunter Nebula aliens so they just make a phone call and summon GIGAN. Also a scientist just happened to be working on a robotic knockoff Ultraman at the same time?
Frankenstein Conquers the World (Frankenstein vs Baragon) has more bullshit in the opening preamble than most films have in their entire runtime
