Toho's Banned Kaiju Movie | The Abominable Snowman

Описание: Today we look at Toho's next monster picture after the original Godzilla and it's sequel. Jû jin yuki otoko (Abominable Snowman) was released in August of 1955, and was received quite well. However due to the Indigenous people in film resembling closely to that of the Burakumin the film became banned. To this day Toho has never given the film any sorta release both physically or digitally.
