Kaiju, get yer Red Hot Kaiju here!
Toho decided to
celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Godzilla Wrestling Federation with this: the heartwarming
story of the Big G, King of the Swingin' Monsters; his completely useless best friend Anguirus;
King Seesar, the Patron Saint of Cocker
Spaniels; and one 50-meter-tall Evil Twin (tm). The movie's plot continues the story arc of
previous films, pitting the AWO (The Alien World Order) against a rag-tag group of Friendly Monsters
who see Earth and it's population as it's own private buffet....
uh, stomping grounds.
The sad part about this film is that it marked the second-to-last appearance of the
old Godzilla. Only one more Event, the Terror of Mechagodzilla PPV, would be seen before
the big guy and the rest of the Rubber Monster Squad went into a 8-year exile, slowly being
re-introduced in the second Godzilla series that began with Godzilla 1985. However, the angles were
completely reversed: In the new series, MechaGodzilla was created to save squishy Earthmen from the now-heelish Gojira.
Another interesting bit of trivia is the other Title Battle that occurred during this PPV, mainly the
fight over this film's original title, Godzilla Vs. The Bionic Monster. Seems the American
producers of the Six Million Dollar Man laid claims to the universe-wide rights to the word
"bionic", so the Japanese kindly changed the title to Godzilla Vs. The Cosmic Monster.
Much later, when the movies were re-dubbed and re-edited in an attempt to make them a little less campy, the
movie title was changed once again, to it's current incarnation.
This movie, by the way, joins Godzilla vs. Hedorah and a few other movies
in the exclusive ReRiff Club, a very small group of movies that are considered
so delightful that they've been HGed more than once. To see this game's previous incarnation,
