Never saw it. It will be interesting when I buy it this summer when it is released.

I heard it also had a giant bird in the movie. Does anyone remember it?

yeqa I'd like to know also

They only have Froggo and Draggo.

I have the movie and I could make screencaps of all four monsters if anybody wants me to. The giant eagle looks pretty similar to the condor thing in Ebirah, Horror of the Deep and the giant spider actually doesn't resemble Kumonga that much. Looks a bit like Shelob if memory serves.
And here's a Bad Movie Report review with pictures of Froggo (Ikazukimaru) and Draggo (Orochimaru).

I've seen the movie and it's quite cool, though the plot and setting is vaguely similar to Daimajin, the film is very different with a more wild and fantasy oriented feel, quite like a Shaw Brothers movie with tons of zany ninja warfare using magic and finally a pretty incredible kaiju showdown at the end.
I have the original Japanese version in letterbox format and one thing I find interesting is that the voices of Froggo and Draggo are totally different in the Japanese version, in the US version they are given the roars of Rodan and Godzilla!

Since this was based on an old Japanese fairy tale/myth, has it ever been adapted to the screen for other movies?
