1966 was a vintage year for Japanese fantasy and science fiction films. Daiei was enjoying a Golden Age, following up the success of GAMERA (Daikaiju Gamera, US title GAMMERA THE INVINCIBLE , 1965) with GAMERA VS BARUGON (Daikaiju Ketto-Gamera tai Barugon, aka WAR OF THE MONSTERS) as well as a unique trio of period fantasy films in which the title character was a giant statue called Daimajin. MAJIN (Daimajin), THE RETURN OF MAJIN (Daimajin Ikaru) and MAJIN STRIKES AGAIN (Daimajin Gyakushu) all followed the same basic formula: modest production values, the typical samurai drama of evil oppressors versus innocent commoners, and an avenging god summoned by a desperate plea for help. While simple in concept, the story behind the series contains some surprises (www.scifijapan.com....s/2006/12/)
