Yes, they're talking about 'Ebirah'. It's a freaking great movie, the whole set-up with the crook and the teenagers on the boat is interesting and genuinely funny.

Also, the original Mothra is an excellent Tiki-South Seas type film, as well as the ultra-classic sequel Godzilla vs. Mothra. I'd rather watch these than a pseudo-documentary on Rapa-Nui anytime. Mysterious Stone Etchings! Yes!

Don't forget the last of the 'serious' Gamera movies; Gamera vs. Barugon, which has a really film-noir feel to it. Whole scenes from it seem to have been ripped off by Spielberg for Jurassic Park. An enormous opal, native villages, gangsters, the wise old doctor, and a really evil smarmy guy that dies a wonderfully disgusting death. Then there's that spooky girl with the staring eyes...

Heck, what more do ya want for a buck nine nine????
