Originally posted by PalynkaI remember seeing something similar when I was a kid in the 70's. it was a japanese b-movie with a guy who could merge all kinds of junk into himself getting bigger and bigger, eventually becoming a gigantic monster that roamed tokio(?). there was also a hero who could fly, and eventually drilled himself through the junk monster, killing him. I wish I knew what the film was called...
I love the concept (although a bit ripped off Akira), don't get me wrong. But the execution is just too overdone, in my opinion. Mmmm, maybe it's time to give it another go, I guess.
the concept is probably a lot older though, I think in a way already fritz lang's metropolis worked on the idea in the 1920's... and even music of edgar varese in the same period I guess.
