Godzilla tai Mechagodzilla
Plots(1)
Imagine a monster with the enormity and strength of Godzilla®, but enhanced with rocket-propelled legs, nuclear finger missiles and a suit of indestructible steel. At first, this titan of terror wears a reptilian skin, making him indistinguishable from the real Godzilla® -- and when the two super-monsters battle, the entire world is confused by this Jurassic imposter. But when the gloves come off, so does the lizard skin, and the real threat is exposed. But who on Earth would create a destructive creature? Or perhaps, it's not from Earth at all...

15) GODZILLA vs. MECHAGODZILLA I – ORIGINAL SHOWA SERIES 1954-1974. Unexpectedly good for Fukuda standards. Thanks to the young archaeologist Keisuke and her discovery of a rare artifact that awakens the ancient mythical protector of Japan named King Seesar (who with his rabbit ears is one of the most comical Godzilla monsters ever), there is a lot of adventure and the plot moves along very nicely. Continuity is not the norm in the Godzilla franchise, but this is de-facto a direct prequel to Honda's Terror of Mechagodzilla, so there are also evil aliens who hide their ape-like appearance under the guise of human form (the inspiration for Planet of the Apes is more than obvious) and send the robotic Mechagodzilla into battle for control of Earth. This is the debut of Mechagodzilla, the most popular monster in the franchise and the only one to appear in all three key stages. I liked the soundtrack in the monster fights. I would have expected anything except Swing, and I have to say that the unconventional contrast worked well.

Jun Fukuda continues his great work and continues to entertain with his films, which are once again full of action. This time, it is evident that he wanted to play with some tricks and bring something more, which he ultimately succeeded in doing. There are truly excellent tricks here, especially the projection stops, but excellent masks are also not lacking. The film manages to entertain because, for its time - and even today - it is an excellent B-movie.
