Description:
Jūjin Yuki Otoko - Another example of a fairly interesting Japanese monster film made by Toho's legendary Godzilla production team of Ishiro Honda, Eiji Tsuburaya, and Tomoyuki Tanaka.
This original Japanese story concerns the discovery of a large prehistoric Yeti-like creature in the Japanese Alps by a group of hikers. When a travelling circus crew attempts to capture the monster, they accidentally kill the monster's offspring instead. This enrages the larger snowman who kills the circus men, destroys a native village, and kidnaps the lead female. The hikers, along with the sole survivor of the native village, track the monster to its cave, culminating in a volcano-set climax.
All original Japanese prints have been banned since the 1960s for any public display by Toho because of the film's depiction of a native tribe with similarities to the minority Ainu and Burakumin peoples and is felt to be offensive by today's standards.
