Drive-in movie fodder with OK special effects and a hammy performance from Cesar Romero as the villain.

Is this a good film; not particularly. Is it entertaining; you bet. While it is the last collaboration of Godzilla's Honda, Tsuburaya, Ifukube, it is filmed in English and stars such talents at Joseph Cotton and Caesar Romero. "Latitude Zero" is a goofy sci-fi adventure film that feels more like a movie serial from 1949 than a feature from 1969. (It was actually based off an old radio serial.) I would call it "campy", but it feels like all involved were playing it as straight as possible. Silly, cheesy, nonsensical, juvenile fare, but oh-so-fun.

I hope Joseph Cotten was having fun, because I sure had fun watching this madness. A weird mix of Jules Verne and Gerry Anderson, filtered through Japan's Toho studio and then shot with some B list Hollywood actors. Somehow, it works. I love all the model work (Toho always was good with models), and the insane story. Cotten and Cesar Romero are so much fun to watch. Mad science. Technological Utopias. Neckerchiefs. This movie is so many different kinds of crazy you'd need a scholar with a lifetime to catalog them. Check it out.

Typically goofball and action-packed Japanese sci-fi spectacular clearly inspired by Jules Verne, presented by Godzilla's parents, the Toho Company, featuring Joseph Cotten as the leader of a peaceful, underwater civilization as well as the inventor and captain of an enormous, tricked-out super-submarine with wacky 60's gadgetry aplenty. Enter Cesar Romero (In a typically hammy performance-) as Cotten's arch-nemesis, hell-bent on destroying the sub and peace-nik Cotten with a plethora of bizarre weaponry, and enlisting the aid of giant rats, insidious bat-people, and a flying lion to carry out his bidding. Highly imaginative and vastly entertaining in Toho's usual cookie-cutter cartoonish fashion.
