Dogora or Dagora, the Space Monster, released in Japan as Uchū Daikaijū Dogora (宇宙大怪獣ドゴラ? lit. "Giant Space Monster Dogora"), is a tokusatsu science fiction film produced and released by Toho Studios in 1964. It was directed by the "Golden Duo" of director Ishirō Honda and special-effects director Eiji Tsuburaya.
[edit] Plot
The plot involves a carbon-eating mutated "space cell" (essentially a giant jellyfish in the sky) with the ability to multiply, and the havoc it wreaks on the lives of the Tokyo police and a group of diamond thieves. The Dogora eventually meet their end when the JSDF attack them with wasp venom, causing them to crystallize and fall to earth.
