Godzilla battles an irradiated Ankylosaur and destroys Osaka in the process.
What happens when the Japanese make "Gojira" and it is wildly successful? They rush into production a sequel and release it within a year. And thanks to adding a second monster, it is another success -- the only thing more fun than Godzilla destroying Tokyo (or Osaka this time) is seeing him battle other large monsters.
The English version is full of excessive narration that adds nothing, excessive stock footage that is little more than "paranoid hyperbole" to quote Steve Ryfle, and more weak attempts to Americanize the film. Tragic hero Kobayashi, played by Minoru Chiaki in his only science fiction role, was even dubbed as a bumbling oaf.
score 7/10
