Godzilla

Welcome to my Godzilla headquarters! Before the new movie comes out, this page takes a quick look at the over twenty movies Godzilla has been in in the past. Or, you can crank up the bass on your speakers, and listen to his roar.


Godzilla, King of the Monsters

Godzilla's first movie. A combination about the horrors of nuclear warfare manifested into a monster that destroys Tokyo. He was destroyed by the Oxygen Destroyer, which was created by Dr. Serizawa. Unfortunately, Dr. Serizawa was also killed by his invention.

Godzilla raids Again(aka Gigantis, the Fire Monster)

Godzilla in the first of his 'versus' series, in which he fights Anguirus, and sort of giant Ankylosaur. After a battle in which Godzilla is victorious, and Angurius killed, he returns to the sea, and is later locked in an iceberg by a militay trap. Ironically, Anguirus returns in later films to help Godzilla.

King Kong vs. Godzilla

Amazingly, this was the movie that gave Godzilla his box-office clout. Pairing a much enlarged King Kong against Godzilla elevated Godzilla above the other nuclear created beings of his time. This movie assured the reoccurance of Godzilla.

Mothra vs. Godzilla

I'm sure we're all familiar with this one. This pits one Toho creation (Godzilla) against another one of its creations (Mothra)combat. A giant egg washes up on shore one night, and is purchased by a businessman named Kumayama who builds a show around it. Meanwhile, two tiny priestess called the Shobijin beg Kumayama to return the egg to Mothra, its mother. Instead, he tries unsuccessfully to capture them. Suddenly Godzilla emerges and runs rampant. Mothra comes to try to defend the egg, but is destroyed. The egg hatches, and two larva come out, and proceed to wrap Godzilla in a silken cocoon. Godzilla struggles and falls into the sea. The two larva return to their island home.

Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster

Ghidorah, a three-headed dragon who apparently gets his kicks by destroying civilization, appears in the skies above Japan. The two Mothra larva come to fight Ghidorah, but a overpowered. Godzilla and Rodan come just in time to reforce the duo, and Ghidorah is defeated.

Monster Zero

The United Nations send out and expedtion team to a newly discovered Planet X. Upon their arrival there, they are greeted by aliens who came their future is threatened by Monster Zero, who we know as King Ghidorah. They offer a cure for all dieases if they can borrow Rodan and Godzilla to fight the beast. When the Earth agrees, the aliens take Godzilla and Rodan, who defeat Ghidorah easily. The tape they send that is supposed to contain a formula for the cure turns out to be an ultimatium for the surrender of Earth. They use Godzilla and Rodan as weapons until their weakness to sound is revealed. Using sound, the UN destroys the UFOs controlling the creatures. As a last ditch attempt, Ghidorah is sent after Earth, but is repelled by Godzilla.

Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster

Red Bamboo, a secret organization guarded by a giant sea monster named Ebirah, has been discovered by a group who was searching for a lost brother. They discover that Red Bamboo has been using natives from the island as slaves. A native girl named Daiyo claims to known where Godzilla is resting. The youths awaken Godzilla with lighting. He awakens and does battle with Ebirah. With this distraction, the youths sneak in to try to free the slaves. While freeing them, they discover Red Bamboo is making nuclear weapons. Mothra comes to save the humans before the Red Bamboo commander sets off a bomb.
It's not a poster, but it is Godzilla fighting Ebirah


Son of Godzilla

Starting with this movie, Godzilla starts to don a more friendly personality, and don a more muppetlike look. This continues up to Godzilla vs. Megalon. A group of scientists try to deep-freeze an island to test weather controlling experiments. Their experiment goes horribly wrong, and they mutate all life of the island. An egg hatches in middle of the island and Minilla, and creature that looks nothing like Godzilla but is called his son, is born. Godzilla comes and adopts the strange looking being, as the scientist repeat their experiment, freezing the island and its inhabitants.

Destroy All Monsters

In 1999, the Earth traps all of the world's monsters onto one island, Monsterland, where they are to be observed. Communication is broken, and when a team flies over to the island, they find the monsters and the people under mind-control by the Kilaaks, an alien race. The biggest collection of monsters the screen has ever seen is unleashed onto the world, but the UN finds a Kilaak transmission base on the moon, and destroys it, ending the Kilaaks control of the beasts. As a last resort, the Kilaaks send Ghidorah, but he is repelled by a host of monsters.

Godzilla's Revenge

Ichiro's parents work long hours, leaving him with only a local inventor for a babysitter. He is also bullied by older kids, which leaves him only to imagine interacting with Millia (Godzilla's son) and Godzilla himself. When he wanders into an abandoned warehouse on a dare, he is kidnapped by two bankrobbers. Using the lessons he's learned from his imaginary encounters, he thwarts both the robbers and the bullies. One of the more (childish would be a nice word for it) movies in the series.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah

Nothing was safe from Greenpeace, apparently. In this film, Godzilla battles a hiliraiously ill-concieved slucge monster named Hedorah. All the while teenagers stage a Woodstock-like eco-fest while singing the most annoying song I've ever heard.

Godzilla vs. Megalon

Defintely one of the more trippy Godzilla movies. Seatopia, and underwater civilzation rocked by nuclear testing, wishes to take revenge on the surface world. It steals Jet-Jaguar, a humaniod robot to guide Mgealon, a giant insectlike creature controlled by Seatopia, in the destruction of humanity. The humans re gain control of Jet-Jaguar, who summons Godzilla. The Seatopians ask for Nebula M Spacehunter's help, and they send Gigan.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

Godzilla reverts to a more serious tone for this movie. The movie starts with Godzilla(?) romping through Japan, destroying all he sees. He is met by Anguirus, who attacks and takes off a bit of skin, revealing metal beneath the fake skin. The entire skin burns off, and Mechagodzilla is revealed. Mechagodzilla turns out to be a tool used by the Simeons, a race of super intelligent ages, to take over the world. Using a statue, a prophetess summons the worthless King Cesear, a strange lion/poodle mix, who's weak attcks bounce right off Mechagodzilla's armor. Godzilla comes and foils the Simeon plot, however.

Terror of Mechagodzilla

The Simeons have returned to Earth, and enlisted the help of Dr. Mafune, a discredited scientist who discovered and now controls Titanosaurus, a strange underwater beast. Using Titanosaurus to back up Mechagodzilla, the Siemons attack Tokyo. Godzilla comes and thwarts the Siemon plan by destroying Mechagodzilla and driving back Titanosaurus.
A movie poster? I think not! It's Godzilla fighting Titanosaurus


Godzilla 1985

Godzilla returns to his roots for this one. Created as a direct sequel to the orginal 'Godzilla', it ignores his other outings and returns him to his role as destroyer. A new warship, called Super-X, is called to subdue him, and succeeds, but Godzilla is revived by the blast of a nuclear missile launched by the Russinans being intercepted. Godzilla destroys Super-X, but is lured and trapped in a volcano.

Godzilla vs. Biollante

The last of the Toho Godzilla series to be seen in the US. Using Godzilla cells, Dr. Shiragami creates a new breed of wheat for the Middle Eastern country of Saradia. However, the lab is bombed by a company called Biomajor, who wants to control the genetic engineering market. Dr. Shiragami loses his daughter in the attack, but grafts some of her DNA to a rosebush, which he hopes contains her soul. Meanwhile, Godzilla emerges, so the Japanese government prepares two weapons: Super-X2, and a kind of nuclear energy eating bacteria. Dr. Shiragami joins the project, only to graft Godzilla DNA onto the rosebush. Biollante is created, and lumbers out into a nearby lake. Godzilla raids, and Super-X2 goes out to meet him, but fails to stop him. During his charge towards Biollante, the military injects him with the bacteria, but finds out his body temperature is too cool. Godzilla goes to fight Biollante, and his atomic ray mutates it intoa horrible beast. While the two are fighting, the military uses microwave mines to raise Godzilla's temperature. Godzilla fights off Biollante, but is paralyzed by the bacteria, and falls into the sea. Biollante disapates into spores and rises up to space.

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

A remake of an old classic, it explains why the new Godzilla used in 'Godzilla 1985' and the films after it is taller than the original. Apparently people from the future transported back to the past, and took the Godzillasaurus off of the island in which nuclear testing would have mutated him, and placed him in the Bering Sea. Unfortunately, an accident involving a nuclear sub mutates Godzilla into a much larger form. Includes an appearance by Ghidorah, and his later form, MechaGhidorah.

Godzilla vs. Mothra

An expedition to an island brings back Mothra's egg and her two tiny priestesses (in this version they're called Cosmos). Apparently, they came from a lost civilization destroyed by Battra, Mothra's evil twin with a bad attitude. While Mothra's egg in en route to Japan, Godzilla attacks it. Suddenly, Battra arrives in its larva form. Mothra hatches, and joins the fray. It ends when Godzilla and Battra are engulfed by an underwater volcano. The company that found Mothra's egg steals the priestesses, but Mothra comes to Japan to get them. When she finds them, the military approaches, so Mothra turns into her final form. Godzilla returns, but so does Battra (also in a new, flying form). The three battle anew and Godzilla is forced back into the sea, but only after killing Battra.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II

This movie revives Mechagodzilla, who in this series, along with a flying machine named Garuda, represent the earth's best defense against Godzilla. However, an egg, guarded by Rodan is soon discovered. As scientists try to grab it, Godzilla comes, and battles Rodan to the death. Back at Japan, the egg hatches, revealing a Babygodzilla (not Minilla). The baby calls out, which summons Godzilla, but also Rodan, who transforms into the more powerful Fire Rodan. As Godzilla closes in, Mechagodzilla is set, but is defeated. As both Fire Rodan and Godzilla close in, Garuda Combines with Mechagodzilla, and the machine is sent out again. It defeats both Rodan and Godzilla, destroying Rodan, and destroying Godzilla's secondary brain. However, the radiation released by Fire Rodan's death revives Godzilla, who destroys the machine and takes back his son.

Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla

Mobile Operation Godzilla Universal Expert Robot Aerotype, or MOGUERA, represents the cutting edge of Godzilla fighting technology. However, it will be used not on Godzilla, but on a more lethal beast. Spacegodzilla, formed from drifting Biollante spores forming with a crystalline being, is heading towards Earth to destroy its earthbound counterpart. MOGUERA is sent to intercept, but is defeated in midspace. Spacegodzilla finds Godzilla, driving him off and imprisoning Little Godzilla (a larger version of baby Godzilla) in a crystal. In the end, Godzilla and MOGUERA team up to destroy Spacegodzilla and free Little Godzilla, and succeed, but not before MOGUERA is destroyed.

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

A glowing, burning Godzilla attacks Hong Kong. It is detremined that the home of Godzilla and Godzilla Junior (a grown up version of Little Godzilla) has been destroyed. Also, the atomic heart that powers Godzilla seems to be melting down. The smaller creature is presumed dead. Meanwhile, at the site if the original Godzilla's death, the Oxygen Destroyer seems to have revived some long gone anaerobic organisms. These form toghether to make Destoroyah. Godzilla Junior appears, and seemed to make a decisive blow. When Godzilla comes on the scene though, Destoroyah arises in his 120 meter tall bipedal form. When he strikes, Godzilla Junior is killed. Godzilla fights him down, and tried to breath radioactive life back into his son. Destoroyah rises again, and Godzilla fights on. It is the new Super-X, however, that destroys Destoroyah. Godzilla evaporates, and a radioactive smog forms. However, the radiation levels drop, and a familiar roar is heard. Godzilla Junior, revived by the intense radiation levels, has mutated into his final form. He has become Godzilla.
