Undoubtedly the aspect of FRANKENSTEIN VS. BARAGON which cements it in kaiju legend is the film’s dual endings: US producer Henry G. Saperstein was unsatisfied with the film’s original ending, in which the Frankenstein monster falls into the Earth after defeating Baragon, and requested a new one. Toho filmed a new ending at Saperstein’s insistance, this one featuring the monster going up against a giant “Devilfish” octopus. In the end, Saperstein’s new ending was not used in any theatrical version of the film.
