Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEven though Robert Dunham spoke nearly perfect Japanese throughout most of the film, he did get away with one phrase of English. In the scene where the mob breaks into his hotel room and Hamako (Moll) snatches the key to the safe, he says in perfect English, "Hey, you can't take that!"
- GoofsIn the scenes featuring the smaller Dogoras, the strings holding them up are clearly seen.
- Crazy creditsThe U.S. English dubbed version, released by American International under the title "Dagora, The Space Monster," has all of the cast and credits removed. The picture and sound contain an awkward jump from the main title to the first scene. It is believed that American International, for unknown reasons, physically cut the cast and credits from their initial release prints.

Featured review
This is a unique monster in the Toho Universe and had a War of the Worlds feel to it
Dogora (1964) is a movie I recently watched on a random streaming service. The storyline follows a being in space that initially destroys satellites and then starts stealing coal and diamonds to increase its powers. As it descends on Earth it starts increasing its powers from carbon monoxide and seems to be unstoppable. Can anyone on Earth figure out a way to stop it?
This movie is directed by Ishirô Honda (Godzilla, 1954) and stars Yôsuke Natsuki (Yojimbo), Hiroshi Koizumi (Mothra), Nobuo Nakamura (Tokyo Story), Robert Dunham (Battle for the Japan Sea), Akiko Wakabayashi (Ultraman) and Jun Tazaki (Ran).
This is a unique monster in the Toho Universe and had a War of the Worlds feel to it. The models and toys used to create the sets, cities and military tanks and jeeps were awesome as always. The floating effects were more fun than good. The monster looks really good and the story unfolds well. The ending was a bit melodramatic and could have been better.
Overall this is a slightly above average edition to the science fiction genre that I would score a 6/10 and recommend watching for fans of the Godzilla movies from this era.
