Number four in Toho's Godzilla series, he fights a big moth or butterfly or something.
By this time the series was getting more childish and silly, with two miniature women called the Shobjin running around spouting nonsense about getting a giant egg back. If the egg is hatched it will result in the destruction of Japan by a giant caterpillar or something. Meanwhile a greedy businessman wants to exploit the egg by turning it into a tourist trap.
This film has the usual nonexistent direction from Ishiro Honda, the bright color photography makes the rubber suit Godzilla outfit look very cartoonish, and being chased around by miniature tanks and rocket launchers doesn't help the film. The attempt by Honda to introduce an anti capitalist theme into the film is ludicrous.
The series now seems to exist in the alternative universe of Sid and Marty Kroft's Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.
88 minutes.
