Nessie Attacks Tokyo Harbor

giant nessie

A very awesome piece of special effects promoting the Japanese release of “The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep”

The 15-meter long Nessie is an impressive combination of water screen lighting effects and some well-placed water spouts (for the giant splash effect). It was part of an event held in Tokyo’s Odaiba area.

This is amazing, did they really set this up for a Hollywood movie? do they ever do anything special like this for their own movies?

you know what they have to do now, right? build mecha-nessie to defeat and vanquish it!

Make sure Space-Nessie isn’t added into the mix… things could get serious.

Wow, that’s cool. Best bit is when it comes out of the water at the start.
