Alien lifeforms brought to earth via a Saturn bound space craft turns local sea life into huge monsters bent on world domination. What the hell else would they do in a Toho movie anyway? The craft lands in the sea near a small Pacific island inhabited by peaceful natives and all hell breaks loose. In the village scenes a moai type tiki can be seen near one of the thatched huts as well as some carvings. Good shots of it just as the giant squid is stomping the hut. The movie culminates in a fight to the death between a giant crab and turtle but the world is saved as during their death duel they both tumble into an active volcano and die. And yes I do highly recommend this fine film. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamoebas_(Toho)
