'''''Bye-Bye Jupiter''''' {{Nihongo|さよならジュピター|Sayonara Jupitā}} is a [[1984]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Films|film]] produced by [[Toho]]. It was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters on March 17, [[1984]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In the year [[2125]], the [[Earth]]'s population has exceeded 18 billion and mankind has terraformed many of the planets of the Solar System. On Mars, the Solar System Development Organization is conducting Operation Delta, using charges to melt the Martian polar icecaps into a reservoir with a newly-built dam. Under the ice, however, they found giant symbols carved into the ground like the [[wikipedia:Nazca lines|Nazca lines]] of Peru. Similar symbols had already been found on the surface of Earth's [[Moon]].<br />
<br />
The passenger ship ''Tokyo-III'' transports space linguist Millicent Willem from Phobos to the ''Minerva-II'' station orbiting Jupiter to see Chief Eiji Honda. She is seated next to Hoger Kinn, an Irish Space Force Captain who also has an appointment with Eiji. Upon arrival, he informs the captain that two unmanned probes went missing and he is going to investigate the cause. Millie tells Eiji that aliens left a message on the Moon 100,000 years ago, followed by a message on Mars 50,000 years ago. From what she has deciphered, it shows an alien convoy trajectory pointing to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. She implores Eiji to put his Jupiter Solarization project on hold.<br />
<br />
Later, Eiji and his partner Booker Lafayette explain the JS project. Some of the 500 million people who have left Earth to live elsewhere in the Solar System don't receive enough sunlight, so the JSP aims to solarize Jupiter by overloading the planet with nuclear fusion and neutrino. As Eiji's boy genius apprentice Carlos Angeles explains the process, a group of radicals destroy a carbon tetrachloride tank and are detained. It is found out that they are part of a new religion called the Jupiter Church, which is opposed to space exploration and thinks humanity should only live on Earth. Meanwhile, Captain Kinn and Dr. Ryutaro Inoue take off in the ''Space Arrow'' to investigate the comet nest where the probes disappeared. They are frozen in hypersleep pods.<br />
<br />
Eiji recognizes his childhood sweetheart Maria Basehart in the group of radicals, who he has not seen in three years. He brings her to his office. He asks why she has joined the Jupiter Church and as they make love, explains via voiceover that they grew up on Mars and her parents died in a crash on the way to Earth, giving her a lifelong hatred of space travel. Eiji's automated assistant Nancy interrupts the two and notifies Eiji that it is time to depart with Millie to the Great Red Spot.<br />
<br />
Upon arrival, Eiji and Millie see a giant floating object which Eiji had seen prior and named ''Jupiter Ghost''. They pick up transmissions from the ''Jupiter Ghost'' that sound like wailing and believe that it is talking to them. Millie urges Eiji to move closer to it, but Jupiter's harsh weather damages one of their ship's wings, forcing them to return to ''Minerva-II''. Millie decides to go to Earth's Moon because it has the world's most advanced computer system and she wants to decipher the message sent from the ''Jupiter Ghost''. As Eiji watches a video message from Kinn, she sees Dr. Inoue in the background and recognizes him as her old lover.<br />
<br />
The computer on the ''Space Arrow'' prematurely awakens Captain Kinn and Dr. Inoue from their hypersleep pods as they approach an anomaly in space. Though still mostly frozen, Kinn manages to send a distress call just before the ship is destroyed.<br />
<br />
Detective Mohammed Mansur investigates the destruction of the ''Space Arrow'' and the unmanned probes at the lunar computer center, where he meets Millie, equally curious about Dr. Inoue's fate. She deciphers the ''Jupiter Ghost'' message as "DARK HEAVY DANGEROUS" at the same time as Mansur comes to the conclusion that a black hole destroyed the ''Space Arrow''. Both are devastated. Mansur informs the the SSDO that the black hole is moving and will lay waste to the Solar System in only two years.<br />
<br />
Eiji talks to SSDO Chairman Webb about repurposing the JS Project to overloading Jupiter with nuclear fusion and firing it at the black hole to alter its course. The political backlash is tremendous, but with the entire Solar System at risk, SSDO goes ahead with the project anyway. Carlos suffers a nervous breakdown after an accident on ''Minerva-II'', so Booker decides to fill in for him at a conference in Europe. He never makes it; the Jupiter Church sets off a bomb in his transport.<br />
<br />
Unable to handle losing another friend, Eiji travels to the Jupiter Church's beach and confronts its leader, Peter, who insists that his followers are strictly pacifists. Peter's pet dolphin Jupiter is suddenly attacked by a shark. Eiji kills the predator, but too late to save Jupiter, which greatly upsets Peter. At the same time, Maria is arguing with her best friend Anita June Pope about how the bombs she has been planting stray too far from what Peter believes; Anita, madly in love with Peter, counters that it is the only way that his vision could be achieved.<br />
<br />
When Eiji returns to ''Minerva-II'', he finds Carlos paralyzed from the waist down by another accident, confined to an Emergency Convenience Vehicle. While recovering, he designed a new control room for the Jupiter Project called Mahayana 60. Anita's squad stows away on a cargo craft to ''Minerva-II'', where Anita gives them pills that eliminate any fear and effectively turn them into mindless soldiers. The station's yellow and orange groups evacuate, while the essential red group remains: Eiji, Carlos, security guard Tanaka, and engineer Richard. Millie volunteers to work at SSDO to see the tragedy through, where she also bonds with her irritable grandfather Chairman Webb, who has been worn out from his job. As the red-jacket group is nearly ready to execute their plan, Richard spots a saboteur, Mike, who opens fire on him with a laser rifle. Tanaka is the only one of the group with a laser gun, but it is a weak pistol and he is soon shot down. Eiji quickly reaches for the gun and pulls the unconscious Tanaka to cover, while Carlos tries to finish the final preparations. He is shot in the shoulder and falls off of his ECV. Mike's pill wears off, leaving him shocked at his actions and giving an awakened Richard an opening to shoot him. He manages to kill another saboteur before Anita shoots him. Maria finds high ground, ready to kill Eiji, but her pill wears off and she kills Anita instead.<br />
<br />
Eiji takes Carlos to the cargo ship and sets it to take off, but stays behind to search for the last intruder. He shoots Maria before he realizes it's her. Wounded, she walks him through removing the explosives her comrades planted. He misses one, which detonates as he walks towards it. As the JS Project reaches its automated stage, Eiji and Maria crawl towards each other. Eiji asks Maria to play his message card so he can hear Kinn's voice one last time, but a famous [[Sayonara Jupiter|song]] Peter wrote plays instead. The cry of ''Jupiter Ghost'' resonates throughout the Mahayana control room. The mysterious Jovians are sending a farewell message, knowing they are going to die with Jupiter.<br />
<br />
''Minerva-II'' crashes into Jupiter, sending it flying towards the black hole at sub-light speed and changing its course.<br />
<br />
Millie, Carlos, and Webb hold a funeral for Eiji and Maria on an asteroid to honor the fallen heroes.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*[[Akihiko Hirata]]'s role as Inoue Ryutaro in this film was the actor's final role before he died later that same year. Hirata was planned to appear in ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' as [[Makoto Hayashida|Doctor Hayashida]], but was replaced by Yosuke Natsuki after his death.<br />
*In one scene, Captain Hoger Kinn can be seen watching ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]''. In Komatsu's novel, he watches ''Star Wars 20'' instead.<!--<br />
*Writer [[Sakyo Komatsu]] originally wanted Orson Welles to play the role of the SSDO President, however William Tapier was ultimately cast.{{Citation needed}}--><br />
*The props used for the SSDO's large-type blasters were recycled in ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' as a weapon used by the [[Futurian]]s' security androids.<!--<br />
*According to promotional images, the "SSDO Small type Blaster" (小型ブラスター) is modeled after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAR-15_XM177 LS M177].<br />
*According to the Making of Sayonara Jupiter, the film used the same type of "Snorkel Camera" used in the filming of Star Wars to emulate a proper size effect for the flying space ships.<br />
*Several of the ships from Sayonara Jupiter are seen in ''[[The Godzilla Comic]]'' "Godzilla: Kaiju Warrior".--><br />
*The launch bay for the ''[[Earth (ship)|Earth]]'' probe vessel in ''[[Monster Planet of Godzilla]]'' is the Minerva base hanger launch bay, only vertically flipped.<br />
*This is the only [[Sakyo Komatsu]] work to have been intended to become a movie right from the beginning.<!--<br />
*In the novel, there is a scene where the SSDO and the Jupiter Church have a Space battle.<br />
*In the novel, there are powered space suits used for repairs.<br />
*In the novel, Eiji and Maria reserve a "Love hotel" on Minerva.<br />
*In the novel, the project to melt the Martian polar icecaps is called "Operation Delta".--><br />

'''''Bye-Bye Jupiter''''' {{Nihongo|さよならジュピター|Sayonara Jupitā}} is a [[1984]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Films|film]] produced by [[Toho]]. It was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters on March 17, [[1984]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In the year [[2125]], the [[Earth]]'s population has exceeded 18 billion and mankind has terraformed many of the planets of the Solar System. On Mars, the Solar System Development Organization is conducting Operation Delta, using charges to melt the Martian polar icecaps into a reservoir with a newly-built dam. Under the ice, however, they found giant symbols carved into the ground like the [[wikipedia:Nazca lines|Nazca lines]] of Peru. Similar symbols had already been found on the surface of Earth's [[Moon]].<br />
<br />
The passenger ship ''Tokyo-III'' transports space linguist Millicent Willem from Phobos to the ''Minerva-II'' station orbiting Jupiter to see Chief Eiji Honda. She is seated next to Hoger Kinn, an Irish Space Force Captain who also has an appointment with Eiji. Upon arrival, he informs the captain that two unmanned probes went missing and he is going to investigate the cause. Millie tells Eiji that aliens left a message on the Moon 100,000 years ago, followed by a message on Mars 50,000 years ago. From what she has deciphered, it shows an alien convoy trajectory pointing to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. She implores Eiji to put his Jupiter Solarization project on hold.<br />
<br />
Later, Eiji and his partner Booker Lafayette explain the JS project. Some of the 500 million people who have left Earth to live elsewhere in the Solar System don't receive enough sunlight, so the JSP aims to solarize Jupiter by overloading the planet with nuclear fusion and neutrino. As Eiji's boy genius apprentice Carlos Angeles explains the process, a group of radicals destroy a carbon tetrachloride tank and are detained. It is found out that they are part of a new religion called the Jupiter Church, which is opposed to space exploration and thinks humanity should only live on Earth. Meanwhile, Captain Kinn and Dr. Ryutaro Inoue take off in the ''Space Arrow'' to investigate the comet nest where the probes disappeared. They are frozen in hypersleep pods.<br />
<br />
Eiji recognizes his childhood sweetheart Maria Basehart in the group of radicals, who he has not seen in three years. He brings her to his office. He asks why she has joined the Jupiter Church and as they make love, explains via voiceover that they grew up on Mars and her parents died in a crash on the way to Earth, giving her a lifelong hatred of space travel. Eiji's automated assistant Nancy interrupts the two and notifies Eiji that it is time to depart with Millie to the Great Red Spot.<br />
<br />
Upon arrival, Eiji and Millie see a giant floating object which Eiji had seen prior and named ''Jupiter Ghost''. They pick up transmissions from the ''Jupiter Ghost'' that sound like wailing and believe that it is talking to them. Millie urges Eiji to move closer to it, but Jupiter's harsh weather damages one of their ship's wings, forcing them to return to ''Minerva-II''. Millie decides to go to Earth's Moon because it has the world's most advanced computer system and she wants to decipher the message sent from the ''Jupiter Ghost''. As Eiji watches a video message from Kinn, she sees Dr. Inoue in the background and recognizes him as her old lover.<br />
<br />
The computer on the ''Space Arrow'' prematurely awakens Captain Kinn and Dr. Inoue from their hypersleep pods as they approach an anomaly in space. Though still mostly frozen, Kinn manages to send a distress call just before the ship is destroyed.<br />
<br />
Detective Mohammed Mansur investigates the destruction of the ''Space Arrow'' and the unmanned probes at the lunar computer center, where he meets Millie, equally curious about Dr. Inoue's fate. She deciphers the ''Jupiter Ghost'' message as "DARK HEAVY DANGEROUS" at the same time as Mansur comes to the conclusion that a black hole destroyed the ''Space Arrow''. Both are devastated. Mansur informs the the SSDO that the black hole is moving and will lay waste to the Solar System in only two years.<br />
<br />
Eiji talks to SSDO Chairman Webb about repurposing the JS Project to overloading Jupiter with nuclear fusion and firing it at the black hole to alter its course. The political backlash is tremendous, but with the entire Solar System at risk, SSDO goes ahead with the project anyway. Carlos suffers a nervous breakdown after an accident on ''Minerva-II'', so Booker decides to fill in for him at a conference in Europe. He never makes it; the Jupiter Church sets off a bomb in his transport.<br />
<br />
Unable to handle losing another friend, Eiji travels to the Jupiter Church's beach and confronts its leader, Peter, who insists that his followers are strictly pacifists. Peter's pet dolphin Jupiter is suddenly attacked by a shark. Eiji kills the predator, but too late to save Jupiter, which greatly upsets Peter. At the same time, Maria is arguing with her best friend Anita June Pope about how the bombs she has been planting stray too far from what Peter believes; Anita, madly in love with Peter, counters that it is the only way that his vision could be achieved.<br />
<br />
When Eiji returns to ''Minerva-II'', he finds Carlos paralyzed from the waist down by another accident, confined to an Emergency Convenience Vehicle. While recovering, he designed a new control room for the Jupiter Project called Mahayana 60. Anita's squad stows away on a cargo craft to ''Minerva-II'', where Anita gives them pills that eliminate any fear and effectively turn them into mindless soldiers. The station's yellow and orange groups evacuate, while the essential red group remains: Eiji, Carlos, security guard Tanaka, and engineer Richard. Millie volunteers to work at SSDO to see the tragedy through, where she also bonds with her irritable grandfather Chairman Webb, who has been worn out from his job. As the red-jacket group is nearly ready to execute their plan, Richard spots a saboteur, Mike, who opens fire on him with a laser rifle. Tanaka is the only one of the group with a laser gun, but it is a weak pistol and he is soon shot down. Eiji quickly reaches for the gun and pulls the unconscious Tanaka to cover, while Carlos tries to finish the final preparations. He is shot in the shoulder and falls off of his ECV. Mike's pill wears off, leaving him shocked at his actions and giving an awakened Richard an opening to shoot him. He manages to kill another saboteur before Anita shoots him. Maria finds high ground, ready to kill Eiji, but her pill wears off and she kills Anita instead.<br />
<br />
Eiji takes Carlos to the cargo ship and sets it to take off, but stays behind to search for the last intruder. He shoots Maria before he realizes it's her. Wounded, she walks him through removing the explosives her comrades planted. He misses one, which detonates as he walks towards it. As the JS Project reaches its automated stage, Eiji and Maria crawl towards each other. Eiji asks Maria to play his message card so he can hear Kinn's voice one last time, but a famous [[Sayonara Jupiter|song]] Peter wrote plays instead. The cry of ''Jupiter Ghost'' resonates throughout the Mahayana control room. The mysterious Jovians are sending a farewell message, knowing they are going to die with Jupiter.<br />
<br />
''Minerva-II'' crashes into Jupiter, sending it flying towards the black hole at sub-light speed and changing its course.<br />
<br />
Millie, Carlos, and Webb hold a funeral for Eiji and Maria on an asteroid to honor the fallen heroes.<br />

'''''Terror of Mechagodzilla''''' {{Nihongo|メカゴジラの逆襲|Mekagojira no Gyakushū|lit. ''Mechagodzilla's Counterattack''}} is a [[1975]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Kaiju Films|kaiju film]] directed by [[Ishiro Honda]] and written by [[Yukiko Takayama]], with special effects by [[Teruyoshi Nakano]]. Produced by [[Toho Eizo Bijutsu|Toho Eizo]], it is the 15th installment in the [[Godzilla (franchise)|''Godzilla'' series]] as well as the [[Showa era|Showa series]]. It stars [[Katsuhiko Sasaki]], [[Tomoko Ai]], [[Akihiko Hirata]], Tadao Nakamaru, [[Goro Mutsumi]], Masaaki Daimon, and Katsumasa Uchida. The film was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters by [[Toho]] on March 15, [[1975]] as part of the Spring [[Toho Champion Festival]].<ref name="Godzilla.jp">[http://godzilla.jp/work/15/ メカゴジラの逆襲|ゴジラ 東宝公式サイト] (official [[Godzilla.jp]] page)</ref> Bob Conn Enterprises released an edited English-dubbed version of the film under the title '''''The Terror of Godzilla''''' to [[United States|American]] theaters in [[1978]], while [[UPA|United Productions of America]] aired an expanded version on American television that same year under the film's international title.<br />
<br />
Both the final entry in the original [[Showa era|Showa series]] of ''Godzilla'' films and the last entry helmed by original ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]'' director [[Ishiro Honda]], ''Terror of Mechagodzilla'' picks up directly after ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla]]'', with INTERPOL searching for the wreckage of [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla]]. Rather than any remains, they find the colossal dinosaur [[Titanosaurus]], which destroys their submarine. Marine biologist [[Akira Ichinose]] works alongside INTERPOL agent [[Jiro Murakoshi]] to uncover the mystery around Titanosaurus and the disgraced scientist who discovered him, [[Shinzo Mafune]]. Unbeknownst to them, Mafune has aligned himself with the [[Black Hole Planet 3 Alien]]s, offering them the services of Titanosaurus, who is under his control, and helping to repair Mechagodzilla. When both the rebuilt Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus are unleashed in [[Tokyo]] by the aliens, [[Godzilla (Second Generation)|Godzilla]] faces an uphill battle against two powerful foes, and humanity must find a way to help even the odds. ''Terror of Mechagodzilla'' was not planned as the final ''Godzilla'' film at the time of its release, but its poor box office performance combined with the continued decline of the Japanese film industry resulted in a nearly decade-long hiatus in the series despite several attempts to revive it. The series would ultimately be rebooted with ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' in [[1984]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
Just one year after [[Godzilla (Second Generation)|Godzilla's]] battle with [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla]], the INTERPOL submarine ''[[Akatsuki]]'' searches the ocean floor for the wreckage of Mechagodzilla. To the surprise of the sub's captain Kusakari, their scanner detects not a single trace of Space Titanium. As the submarine continues its fruitless search, a whirlpool forms seemingly out of nowhere and brings the ''Akatsuki'' to the surface. Soon, a pillar of water erupts from the ocean, and a [[Titanosaurus|colossal dinosaur]] surfaces before roaring and jumping onto the submarine. The creature drags the ''Akatsuki'' back to the ocean floor, then crushes it in its hands. The disaster is reported to INTERPOL, which brings in biologist [[Akira Ichinose]] to give his opinion on the tape recording salvaged from the sub. To everyone's shock, the tape contains audio of Kusakari exclaiming that he sees a giant dinosaur just before it cuts out. Furthermore, INTERPOL chief Tagawa reports that eyewitnesses saw flying saucers enter and leave the waters where the ''Akatsuki'' was destroyed. Agent [[Jiro Murakoshi]] is sent to a nearby oceanographic institute along with Ichinose to look into the existence of a giant dinosaur living under the sea. The head of the institute, Professor Ota, tells them about [[Shinzo Mafune]], a brilliant marine biologist who worked at the institute 15 years ago. Mafune was researching ways to construct vast undersea ranches and scientifically control marine life before he claimed to have discovered a huge dinosaur living underwater, which he named [[Titanosaurus]]. Mafune said he would gain complete control over the dinosaur, which caused his colleagues to dismiss him as insane and cost him his scientific career. Mafune was fired from the institute, and retreated to his home at Manazuru. After hearing this story, Ichinose and Murakoshi travel to Mafune's home and ring the doorbell several times, receiving no answer. Finally a young woman opens the door and introduces herself as [[Katsura Mafune]], Dr. Mafune's daughter. When the two men ask to speak with Dr. Mafune, she tells them that he died five years ago, and that she burned all of his notes after his death. She apologizes and tells the men she cannot help them, and shuts the door. Both Ichinose and Murakoshi are convinced that Katsura is hiding something as they depart.<br />
<br />
Katsura approaches a mirror in her basement, which opens to reveal a secret underground laboratory. Inside, Dr. Mafune is alive and well and toasting with one of his financial backers, Tsuda, to the successful completion of his Titanosaurus control device. Katsura tells her father about the two men who came by, causing him to scoff and declare they came 15 years too late to ask for his opinion. He swears that he will soon unleash Titanosaurus on mankind, showing all those who mocked him that he was right all along and allowing him to have his long-awaited revenge on society. Tsuda tells Mafune that he and the rest of his organization have the perfect instrument for Mafune to complete his revenge, and brings Mafune and Katsura to Mount Amagi. There, he escorts them to a hidden base inside the mountain. There, Mafune witnesses Mechagodzilla being repaired, and realizes that his "financial backers" are actually the [[Black Hole Planet 3 Alien]]s. Mafune is greeted by [[Mugal]], the leader of the invasion force, who asks for Mafune's assistance. Mugal asks for Mafune to teach the aliens his control method, then they can unleash both the repaired [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 2]] and Titanosaurus on [[Tokyo]]. Mafune agrees, and begins helping the aliens perfect Mechagodzilla's control device. Meanwhile, INTERPOL completes construction of the ''Akatsuki II'', and prepares to launch the craft to search for Titanosaurus. Ichinose contacts Katsura and asks her to come along with them, saying it will help vindicate her father's reputation, but she begs him not to go. Ichinose ignores her pleas, and boards the ''Akatsuki II'' on its maiden voyage. Tsuda forces Katsura to unleash Titanosaurus against the sub, but before the dinosaur can destroy it, he is incapacitated by the sub's sonar. Titanosaurus writhes in agony, allowing the ''Akatsuki II'' to escape. After INTERPOL investigates the incident, they come to the conclusion that Titanosaurus cannot stand supersonic waves, and prepare to weaponize this weakness as a defense against Titanosaurus. Hoping to learn why Titanosaurus reacted the way he did, Katsura contacts Ichinose and gains his confidence by giving him some of her father's notebooks. Ichinose tells Katsura about the sonic wave oscillator they are constructing, and she reports this information to her father. Determined to prove Titanosaurus' strength, Mafune unleashes the dinosaur in Tokyo against Mugal's orders while Katsura and Mafune's butler sabotage the sonic wave oscillator. As Titanosaurus destroys the [[JSDF]] units attacking him, it seems Tokyo has no defense against the creature. Tsuda tells Mugal that Mafune could spoil their plans, but Mugal calmly says that Godzilla will arrive and fight Titanosaurus, leaving him too weak to stop Mechagodzilla. True to Mugal's prediction, Godzilla arrives in Tokyo and knocks Titanosaurus over with his atomic breath. The two monsters begin to fight, but Mafune deactivates the Titanosaurus controller after Katsura is shot by INTERPOL and falls off a cliff. Free from Mafune's control, Titanosaurus quickly retreats to the ocean, leaving Godzilla confused.<br />
<br />
The Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens' surgeons recover Katsura's body and revive her by repairing the cybernetics they had installed inside her years before after she was injured in a lab accident. Mafune is grateful for the aliens again saving his daughter's life, and promises Mugal he will obey all his commands. When Ichinose learns of Katsura's apparent death, he refuses to believe that she sabotaged the sonic wave oscillator and travels to Mafune's home, where he witnesses a strange vehicle leave. Ichinose follows the car, but is ambushed by a group of armed men, who reveal they had baited him there. Thankfully, Ichinose is rescued by Murakoshi, who shoots several of the assailants and brings Ichinose back to INTERPOL HQ. After Tagawa orders his men to finish repairing the sonic wave oscillator within a day, Murakoshi tells him about the strange men who attacked him and Ichinose near Mt. Amagi. He notes that the silencers on their guns were not normal, and considers the possibility they were aliens. He then received permission to lead a group of men to Mt. Amagi to investigate further. Aware that their location will soon be discovered, Mugal tells Mafune that their base of operations will be moved to Mafune's lab, while the base at Mt. Amagi will self-destruct. He also reveals that the control device for Mechagodzilla has been installed inside Katsura, as Mafune himself claimed Mechagodzilla required living brain tissue to be truly perfect. Mafune is horrified at what he has let happen to his daughter, and breaks down sobbing next to her as she lays motionless on an operating table. When Murakoshi and his men arrive at Mt. Amagi, they witness Mechagodzilla take off from a hangar and find the base abandoned except for several human prisoners, all of whom have had their vocal cords removed. They soon realize the base is rigged to explode, and quickly free the prisoners and escape. Meanwhile, Ichinose returns to Mafune's home to investigate further, but is knocked out by some of the aliens' guards. He is brought inside Mafune's lab, where he comes face-to-face with Mafune himself. He begs Mafune and Katsura to stop, but Mafune says they have come too far to come back now. At Mugal's command, Katsura unleashes both Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus in Tokyo. <br />
<br />
The monsters quickly annihilate entire districts of the city, leaving the JSDF helpless. As the destruction mounts, INTERPOL races to complete the sonic wave oscillator before Tokyo is wiped from existence. Godzilla arrives and attacks Titanosaurus, but finds himself outmatched once Mechagodzilla begins opening fire on him. Together, Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus overpower Godzilla and knock him unconscious, then bury him in a ravine. Titanosaurus victoriously jumps on Godzilla's earthen grave, but INTERPOL completes their sonic wave oscillator and loads it onto a helicopter. The chopper flies overhead and bombards Titanosaurus with supersonic waves, leaving him helpless. Mechagodzilla prepares to shoot down the chopper, but Godzilla bursts free from the ground and blasts him with his atomic breath. Godzilla engages Mechagodzilla in battle again while Titanosaurus is incapacitated, and quickly gains the upper hand over his doppelganger. Godzilla pummels Mechagodzilla, then tears its head off just as he did before, only to find that Mechagodzilla possesses a mechanical "brain" underneath his head. Mechagodzilla fires a powerful laser from this brain that knocks Godzilla to the ground. As Mechagodzilla repeatedly blasts Godzilla, INTERPOL assembles outside Mafune's lab. Mugal and several of his men leave to deal with them, while Ichinose breaks free of his binds and strangles Tsuda to death. Katsura grabs a gun and prepares to shoot Ichinose, but is shot in the arm by Murakoshi. Mugal returns to the room and opens fire on Murakoshi, then uses Mafune as a human shield when Murakoshi returns fire. Mafune is fatally wounded and Mugal escapes. Mafune's dying words are to scream Katsura's name, which frees her from the aliens' control and restores her humanity. As she lays in Ichinose's arms, Katsura is horrified at what she has done and begins to sob before she realizes Mechagodzilla's controller is still inside her. She begs Ichinose to destroy her, but he says he can't. Finally, Katsura grabs her gun and fatally shoots herself in the chest. Mechagodzilla immediately short-circuits, allowing Godzilla to grab the mechanical monster and throw him into the same ravine where he was buried moments ago. Godzilla fires his atomic breath into the ditch, causing Mechagodzilla to explode and destroying his mechanical double once and for all. Unaware that Titanosaurus is no longer under the aliens' control, Godzilla blasts Titanosaurus with his atomic breath, then grabs him. Mugal evades INTERPOL and boards one of the aliens' flying saucers before they try to escape. Godzilla sees the saucers fly overhead, and destroys them all with a single blast of his atomic breath, putting an end to the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens. Godzilla lets go of Titanosaurus then blasts him directly in the chest with his atomic breath, causing him to go limp and fall over a cliff into the ocean. Humanity celebrates as Titanosaurus strikes the water and leaves Godzilla victorious. Ichinose sets Katsura's body down on a hill as he watches Godzilla wade back out to sea. He is joined by Murakoshi and the other members of INTERPOL, who pay their respects to Katsura for her sacrifice. Godzilla lets out one more victorious roar before he finally heads out into the open ocean.<br />

''Terror of Mechagodzilla'' was distributed theatrically in the United States by Bob Conn Enterprises in 1978, under the title ''The Terror of Godzilla''. As had become custom for American releases of Godzilla films since ''[[Godzilla vs. Gigan]]'', Bob Conn Enterprises simply used Toho's international English dub for the film rather than commission a new one. To ensure a G rating, several minutes of violence and nudity were cut from the film. This is most noticeable during the film's climax, as [[Shinzo Mafune|Dr. Mafune]] is abruptly shot off-camera during the gun battle between INTERPOL and the [[Black Hole Planet 3 Alien]]s, which is itself greatly shortened. [[Katsura Mafune|Katsura]] never turns her laser pistol on herself to shut down [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla]]; the machine shorts out by itself shortly after she is shot in the shoulder by [[Jiro Murakoshi]].<ref name="Ryfle1">{{cite book|title=Japan's Favorite Mon-Star: The Unauthorized Biography of "The Big G" |author=Steve Ryfle |date=1998 |publisher=ECW Press |pages=204-206}}</ref> An uncut version was released at the same time.<ref name="TK">[http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7462 Comprehensive Guide to Toho's English Versions]</ref><br />
<br />
That same year, UPA began to air the film on American television, using its international title ''Terror of Mechagodzilla''. The only deleted footage in this cut was the shot of Katsura's breasts. UPA's version of the film also added a prologue consisting of a narrated recap of the [[Showa era|Showa series]] of Godzilla films over stock footage of the two other Godzilla films owned by the company, ''[[Invasion of Astro-Monster]]'' and ''[[All Monsters Attack]]'', leading to a run time several minutes longer than the Japanese version. In the 1980s, UPA replaced their cut with one based on the heavily altered Bob Conn release, though the ''Terror of Mechagodzilla'' title was retained. Both UPA TV versions have since been released on VHS and DVD in the United States.<ref name="Ryfle1"/><br />
<br />
Starting in 2017, per the acquisition of distribution rights by Janus Films, Toho's international dub synced to the visuals of the regular Japanese version has been used on television broadcasts and several streaming platforms, and was included on [[The Criterion Collection]]'s Blu-Ray box set.<br />
==Box office==<br />
In Japan, ''Terror of Mechagodzilla'' sold 970,000 tickets, the least in series history. ''[[Godzilla vs. Megalon]]'' is the only other Godzilla film to sell less than 1,000,000 tickets. Though Toho never formally put Godzilla on hiatus, with multiple projects developed over the following years, he did not star in another film until ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' in 1984.<br />
==Reception==<br />
{{Stub}}<br />
Despite being considered a bomb at the Japanese box office, ''Terror of Mechagodzilla'' is often looked upon as a strong fan favorite. Fans praise this movie for its fun fight scenes, the return of series veterans like Ishiro Honda and Akira Ifukube, the darker tone compared to other Godzilla films from the 1970s, and interesting characters, like Dr. Mafune and Katsura.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*[[Yukiko Takayama]] is the second woman to write a Godzilla screenplay, after Kazue Kiba, who collaborated with [[Shinichi Sekizawa]] on ''[[Son of Godzilla]]''.<br />
**In [[Terror of Mechagodzilla (screenplay drafts)|her original scenario]], the role of Titanosaurus was filled by two dinosaurs called Titans, who became violent only when their necks were entangled.<ref name="G-FAN">[http://www.g-fan.com/html/gfan_index/index_91.php Words from the Heart: Yukiko Takayama Remembers ''Terror of Mechagodzilla'']</ref> Her script also called for the total annihilation of Tokyo by Titanosaurus and Mechagodzilla, who would enter the city through Tokyo Bay and target the ward of Shinagawa first. Budget constraints forced Toho to scale back the destruction.<br />
*This is the final Godzilla film to not mention [[Godzilla]] himself in its Japanese or international titles.<br />
*This is the final Godzilla film in which Godzilla is not attacked by Japanese, American, or international armed forces.<br />
*This was the last Godzilla film directed by [[Ishiro Honda]].<br />
*''Terror of Mechagodzilla'' was the last Toho-produced Godzilla film to be released in a month other than December until ''[[Shin Godzilla]]'' in [[2016]].<br />
*This was [[Akihiko Hirata]]'s final appearance in a Godzilla film. Hirata was set to portray [[Makoto Hayashida|Dr. Hayashida]] in ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'', but became severely ill prior to the start of filming, and passed away prior to the film's release.<br />
*This was Tomoko Ai's film debut. She was previously a semi-regular in the TV series [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman Leo (series)|''Ultraman Leo'']] as a member of MAC.<br />
*This is the first Godzilla film to feature an original score by [[Akira Ifukube]] since 1968's ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''; although Ifukube's music had previously been used in 1972's ''[[Godzilla vs. Gigan]]'', it was recycled from previous scores.<br />
*This was the first Godzilla film to credit the monster suit actors' roles in an English language version.<br />
*[[Shinzo Mafune|Dr. Mafune]]'s anatomical drawings in his lab are from ''[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman Series|Ultra Series]]'' [[kaiju]], specifically [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Kemular|Kemular]], [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Zaragas|Zaragas]] and [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Telesdon|Telesdon]]. In addition, there is an anatomical diagram of Kemular hanging on the wall in [[Akira Ichinose]]'s office.<br />
*This film contains a rare shot of nudity in a Godzilla film: Katsura's breasts (a prosthetic) are exposed while [[Black Hole Planet 3 Alien|alien]] surgeons operate on her lower heart area. This shot was removed from both American versions of the film.<br />
*The American theatrical poster for this film features [[King Caesar]], from the previous film ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla]]'', in place of [[Titanosaurus]].<br />

'''''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah''''' {{Nihongo|ゴジラ{{tt|VS|たい}}キングギドラ|Gojira {{tt|tai|alternatively 'buiesu'}} Kingu Gidora}} is a [[1991]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Kaiju Films|kaiju film]] directed and written by [[Kazuki Omori]], with special effects by [[Koichi Kawakita]]. Produced by [[Toho Pictures]], it is the 18th installment in the [[Godzilla (franchise)|''Godzilla'' series]] as well as the third in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]]. It stars Anna Nakagawa, Kosuke Toyohara, [[Megumi Odaka]], Kiwako Harada, [[Akiji Kobayashi]], [[Katsuhiko Sasaki]], Chuck Wilson, and So Yamamura. The film was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters by [[Toho]] on December 14, [[1991]].<ref name="Godzilla.jp">[http://godzilla.jp/work/18/ ゴジラVSキングギドラ|ゴジラ 東宝公式サイト] (official [[Godzilla.jp]] page)</ref> [[TriStar Pictures|Columbia TriStar Home Video]] released an English-dubbed version of the film to VHS in the [[United States]] on April 28, [[1998]].<br />
<br />
''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' brings back [[Godzilla]]'s arch-enemy, [[King Ghidorah]], for the new Heisei series of films. Still weakened from the [[Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria]] following his battle with [[Biollante]], [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] has remained dormant in the Sea of Japan for two years. However, a group of [[Futurian|time travelers from the year 2204]] arrive in [[Japan]] and warn that Godzilla will soon return and destroy the nation. To prevent this, they undertake a mission to [[1944]] to remove a [[Godzillasaurus|dinosaur]] from [[Lagos Island]] before it can be mutated into Godzilla by the ''Castle Bravo'' H-bomb test conducted at nearby [[Bikini Atoll]] in [[1954]]. The Futurians have other goals though, leaving behind three creatures called [[Dorat]]s on the island which are exposed to the bomb in the dinosaur's place and become the three-headed terror [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]]. As King Ghidorah terrorizes Japan, the government enacts a desperate plan to recreate Godzilla with a nuclear submarine, but it turns out that Godzilla was not actually erased from history as thought. After destroying and absorbing the energy from the nuclear sub, the empowered Godzilla prepares to face King Ghidorah himself. The box office success of ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' influenced Toho's practice of reintroducing classic monsters from the [[Showa era|Showa series]] in new ''Godzilla'' films. It was followed by ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'' in [[1992]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In the year [[2204]], a submarine discovers the seemingly lifeless two-headed body of [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]] at the bottom of the [[Sea of Okhotsk]]. Inside the submersible, a young woman confirms that Ghidorah had fought [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] at the end of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
One night during the summer of [[1992]], an enormous unidentified flying object is observed at various points over [[Japan]], including [[Tokyo]]. While the news media attempts to explain the strange phenomenon, [[Kenichiro Terasawa]], a writer for ''Super Mystery Magazine MU'', instead sets out to interview an old man who'd made news for protesting a dinosaur exhibit at a museum. The old man tells Terasawa a story of how, in [[1944]], a dinosaur saved his garrison from an American attack at [[Lagos Island]], a story which is later confirmed by [[Yasuaki Shindo]], the former Lagos garrison commander and present head of the Teiyo Group, a massive corporation he'd established in postwar Japan. In the course of his research, Terasawa develops a hypothesis that the dinosaur was exposed to radioactive fallout from H-bomb tests in [[1954]], irradiating the creature and transforming it into Godzilla.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the JSDF tracks the UFO's movements over the [[Pacific Ocean]], and it's discovered that the ship had visited Godzilla, who has been dormant since receiving a large dose of [[Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria]] and a battle with [[Biollante]]. [[MOTHER|The UFO]] soon lands at [[Mount Fuji]] and the inhabitants introduce themselves to the Japanese government: they are the westerners Wilson and Glenchico, and the Japanese woman [[Emmy Kano]], all three delegates from 2204 A.D. They reveal they've traveled through time to warn Japan of its grave future: due to industrialization and nuclear power, Godzilla will reappear and destroy Japan once and for all. As evidence, they present the book that Terasawa will write in the future, entitled ''The Birth of Godzilla''. With the government's agreement, the [[Futurian]]s organize a trip back to Lagos Island in 1944 to transport the [[Godzillasaurus]] to the [[Bering Sea]], where it won't be mutated by the H-bomb, thus preventing Japan's destruction. In addition to Emmy and [[M11]], the futurians' android, three people from the 20th century are invited to oversee the mission: Terasawa, [[Miki Saegusa]], and Professor Mazaki, a paleontologist and one of Terasawa's associates. Also making the trip are three [[Dorat|Dorats]], the Futurians' genetically-engineered pets, ostensibly to provide companionship to the five time travelers.<br />
<br />
The group from 1992 successfully arrives at its historical destination, where they secretly observe the battle between Imperial Japanese forces and [[United States|American]] marines. The depleted Japanese garrison is overwhelmed and almost eliminated by the U.S. landing unit. The furious battle, however, disturbs the Godzillasaurus. The Japanese soldiers retreat while the Americans turn their attention to the angry dinosaur. It tramples the Americans, who call for backup. Offshore, their destroyers shell the island and gravely injure the Godzillasaurus in the process, but not before it finishes off its land-based attackers. Miki positively identifies the dinosaur as Godzilla, so the time travelers begin plans for teleportation. They advance in time roughly one week and observe the Japanese unit's departure, including Lt. Shindo's tearful farewell to the dinosaur, whom he credits with saving his life. M11 then teleports the dinosaur to the bottom of the Bering Sea. As the group prepares to time warp back to 1992, Emmy clandestinely releases the Dorats onto the island.<br />
<br />
Back in 1992, it's confirmed that the mission was successful and Godzilla has disappeared. Glenchiko, however, reveals that the unforeseen has occurred: at the moment Godzilla disappeared, another monster called King Ghidorah appeared over the Pacific, heading for Japan. The three-headed creature ravages [[Fukuoka]] and begins moving northward through Kyushu. While the government struggles to grasp the connection between the two monsters, Miki concludes that King Ghidorah must have been created by the Dorats' exposure to the nuclear tests at Lagos Island, thus implicating the Futurians in the new monster's rampage.<br />
<br />
Deeply upset by the latest turn of events, Emmy comes clean to Terasawa about the true nature of the Futurians' visit. In her future, Japan has become the preeminent world superpower, thanks to its meteoric economic expansion. In time, she says, the nation will become so corrupt and wealthy that it will buy entire countries and even continents. To counteract its domination, people from around the world unite to form the Equal Environment Earth Union, the group to which the Futurians belong. Extremists Wilson and Glenchiko, along with moderate Emmy, stole the time machine to create King Ghidorah and to use it to extort the 20th century Japan, preventing its future ascension. The story about Godzilla's revival and subsequent destruction of Japan was merely a lie to force the Japanese people to cooperate. In Emmy's view, however, Wilson has gone too far, as he's now using King Ghidorah to completely destroy Japan.<br />
<br />
The government desperately formulates a plan to mutate the Godzillasaurus into Godzilla, who they perceive to be the only force powerful enough to defeat King Ghidorah and the Futurians. Despite the protests of certain civilian factions, Shindo's Teiyo Group provides a submarine armed with nuclear warheads for the task, dubbed "Operation G". Shortly thereafter, Miki senses Godzilla—not the Godzillasaurus—at the bottom of the Bering Sea. Emmy proposes that the dinosaur might have come in contact with radioactive material; Terasawa discovers that a Soviet nuclear submarine had previously disappeared in the Bering Sea where the Godzillasaurus had been transported. He realizes that this must have mutated the dinosaur, and thermal satellite images indeed confirm the existence of the 80-meter Godzilla where Miki had sensed him. But before they can warn the government, Godzilla destroys the submarine and consumes its energy, growing even larger in size and strength. Freshly energized, Godzilla comes ashore in [[Hokkaido]].<br />
<br />
Wilson and Glenchiko, realizing that the birth of Godzilla was an unavoidable event in the 20th century, send King Ghidorah to combat Godzilla. The monsters trade devastating blows, but Ghidorah gains the upper hand as it strangles Godzilla. Hundreds of miles away, on the Futurian UFO, Emmy, Terasawa and a reprogrammed M11 sabotage the monster control device. Godzilla seizes the opportunity and pummels his uncontrolled three-headed foe. With a supercharged atomic ray, Godzilla decapitates Ghidorah's middle head. King Ghidorah flies away, but succumbs to its wounds and crashes into the Sea of Okhotsk. Emmy confronts Wilson, whose plan has been foiled. Unbeknownst to her, however, Wilson plans to escape to the 23rd century. King Ghidorah may have lost, but Wilson reasons that the new Godzilla will finish off the ailing nation. Emmy, Terasawa, and M11 temporarily subdue Wilson and Glenchiko and escape the UFO in the smaller [[KIDS]] time-transport ship. From there, M11 teleports the mothership—with Wilson and Glenchiko aboard—to Hokkaido, where it's destroyed by Godzilla.<br />
<br />
Godzilla is engaged by a Maser brigade in [[Sapporo]] but it fast becomes apparent that the nuclear monster is unstoppable. M11's computer simulations show that Godzilla will not stop until he strikes Tokyo. Emmy proposes returning to her time to use 23rd century technology to revive King Ghidorah, with which she'll defend 20th century Japan. In the meantime, Godzilla reaches and lays waste to Tokyo. In Shinjuku, in a penthouse atop his skyscraper, Shindo watches helplessly as his former savior destroys the city that he'd helped rebuild. Godzilla in turn sees Shindo, and the two share a moment of recognition. Shindo accepts his fate as Godzilla incinerates him with his atomic ray.<br />
<br />
The sky flashes as Emmy arrives from the future. Her mission was successful: King Ghidorah had remained alive long enough for her government to convert it into the cybernetic being [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]]. The enormous monster engages Godzilla in battle in the midst of Shinjuku's towering skyscrapers. Even aided with future technology, Mecha-Ghidorah is no match for Godzilla's heat ray. Emmy arms the Godzilla Grip system, grappling cables which ensnare Godzilla. The mechanical dragon rises into the sky, with Godzilla in tow, and flies out to sea. Godzilla's ray tears through Ghidorah's wings and both monsters crash into the deep. The KIDS transport erupts from the ocean, revealing to her 20th century friends that Emmy had survived the battle. Before warping back to the the future, Emmy privately bids farewell to her country, and to Terasawa, whom she identifies as one of her ancestors.<br />
<br />
At the bottom of the sea, entangled in Mecha-King Ghidorah's remains, Godzilla awakens.<br />

==[[United States|U.S.]] release==<br />
[[File:Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah American VHS Cover.jpg|thumb|right|200px|U.S. original ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidora'' VHS cover]]<br />
[[TriStar Pictures]] released ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' to VHS on April 28, [[1998]], along with ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''. The film was titled ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidora'' for this release, though only on cover art (later releases would correct this to "''Godzilla vs. King Ghidora'''h'''''"). Like what Miramax had done for ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' in [[1992]], TriStar elected to simply use Toho's international English dub for the film. The only edits TriStar made to the film involved on-screen text and the end credits. Rather than use Toho's international title card, TriStar included the Japanese title card with "''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah''" in parentheses at the bottom of the screen. TriStar also provided its own English-language opening credits and cut the end credits, replacing them with a black screen including copyright information.<br />
<br />
A fullscreen DVD release followed on November 3, 1998, on a double-sided disc with ''Godzilla vs. Mothra''. This DVD is also included in ''The Toho Godzilla Collection, Volume 2'', along with ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]'', ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]'', ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'', and ''[[Rebirth of Mothra 2]]'', along with the ''13-Film Collection'', which adds ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II]]'' and the six ''Godzilla'' films from the [[Millennium era]], and a Triple Feature with ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]''. [[Sony]] paired it with ''Godzilla vs. Mothra'' again for a two-disc Blu-ray release on May 6, 2014. Aside from presenting the film in its original aspect ratio, the Blu-ray includes a Japanese audio option, although some lines in the subtitles are copied verbatim from the English dub. Sony recreated the English visuals in the TriStar version, including the truncated end credits. Changes include the misspelling of [[Koichi Kawakita]]'s name ("Kopichi Kawakita") and a repositioned English title card.<br />
<br />
In 2013, [[SciFi Japan]] co-founder Keith Aiken disclosed that Sony's rights to ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' and ''Godzilla vs. Mothra'' would be up for renewal in 2019.<ref name="MZ">{{cite web|url=http://www.scifijapan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=421209&fbclid=IwAR3Rn0to9fYKI4t7I9o2knwPpNv33zj235UIWQVcmU3uOMffb3Y3XIyCe6o#p421209|title=Re: Any News on Godzilla DVD Rereleases?|author=Aiken, Keith|date=20 November 2013|work=Monster Zero Forums}}</ref> Sony appears to have let their rights lapse, as prices for the film's individual DVD and Blu-ray releases have begun to climb on Amazon and eBay, and it is no longer available for digital rental or purchase on any platform.<br />

==Box office==<br />
''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' had a budget of ¥1.5 billion, or roughly $12 million.{{Citation needed}} When the film was released in Japan on December 14, 1991, it had an attendance of 2.7 million and grossed ¥1.45 billion, making it the 8th highest grossing Japanese film of 1992.<ref name="HGPerfection"/><br />
==Reception==<br />
{{Stub}}<br />
''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' is generally well-received by fans. Internet critic James Rolfe (AKA the Angry Video Game Nerd) of Cinemassacre considers the film one of the best of the series. Most critics consider it a fun film but that the time travel plot holds it back. It's also been criticized for similarities with the Terminator films.<br />
<br />
Some Godzilla fans have expressed dissatisfaction with King Ghidorah's origin in the movie, especially in reference to the [[Dorat]]s, as well as with the film's time-travel plot.<br />
<br />
Though the Japan Academy Prize does not have a category for visual effects, [[Koichi Kawakita]] and his special effects team received a Special Prize in 1992 for their work on the film.<ref name="IMDb">[http://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000372/1992 Awards of the Japanese Academy, 1992]</ref><br />

==Novelization==<br />
{{Main|Novel: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah}}<br />
A novelization of the film, titled ''[[Novel: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'', was written by [[Toho]] film producer [[Fumio Tanaka]] and published by [[Asahi Sonorama]] in 1991. The novelization follows the plot of the film, but includes some differences. Most notably, the novel opens with the discovery of the carcass of [[King Ghidorah]] on the surface of [[Venus]], with the [[Futurian]]s harvesting its DNA and using it to engineer the [[Dorat]]s. [[Kenichiro Terasawa]] and Chiaki Moriyuma get married at the end of the novel, with [[Emmy Kano]] secretly attending their wedding party. Emmy gives the receptionist a pendant containing a photograph of herself and her mother, who is noted to look a lot like Chiaki, and asks the receptionist to give it to Chiaki. Other minor differences from the film include the name of the Teiyo Group's nuclear submarine.<br />
==Manga adaptation==<br />
{{main|Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (manga)}}<br />
A [[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (manga)|manga adaptation of the film]] was published by [[Shogakukan]] in December 1991. The manga's story corresponds to the film's, but many characters, notably [[Miki Saegusa]], [[Yasuaki Shindo]], and Professor Mazaki, are omitted. In addition, the character [[Sho Kuroki]] from ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' is featured in the manga. Other changes include a battle between [[KIDS]] and [[Godzillasaurus]], the [[JSDF]] sending tanks and [[MBT-MB92|MBT-MB92s]] after [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]] while [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] goes unchallenged, and Godzilla trying to shoot down KIDS with the last of his energy after [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]] carries him out to sea.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*This is the first movie in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]] to feature a monster from the [[Showa era|Showa series]] other than Godzilla.<br />
*Stuntman [[Hurricane Ryu Hariken|"Hurricane" Ryu Hariken]], who portrayed [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]], would later return to play the [[Battra]] larva in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'', [[Godzilla Junior|BabyGodzilla]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II]]'' and [[Godzilla Junior]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]''. [[Wataru Fukuda]], who played the [[Godzillasaurus]], would later play [[Mechagodzilla (Heisei)|Mechagodzilla]] in ''Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II'' and [[Moguera|MOGUERA]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]''.<br />
*A loose end in the film's plot that deserves mention involves King Ghidorah and [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]]. In the beginning of the film, Glenchico states that a person cannot exist in the same time twice; if they brought [[Yasuaki Shindo]] back to [[1944]], one of the Shindos would have to vanish. However, when Godzilla defeats King Ghidorah, the monster falls into the Sea of Okhotsk, where it stays for 200 years. In 2204, Ghidorah is resurrected as a cyborg and returned to 1992. However, as the wounded King Ghidorah is still laying in the sea when Mecha-King Ghidorah arrives, two Ghidorahs clearly exist in the same time. As if to further contradict this statement, when Mecha-King Ghidorah is defeated by Godzilla, it too falls into the Sea of Okhotsk, meaning two Ghidorahs not only coexist in the same time, but in the same place as well. This seems to be a clear violation of Glenchico's statement. However, it is possible that once Mecha-King Ghidorah came to the past, the body of the previous Ghidorah that was lying in the Sea of Okhotsk vanished as Glenchico said would happen; Mecha-King Ghidorah could then take the previous Ghidorah's place in the sea. It is also possible that he lied in order to prevent Shindo, whose company would become the largest in the world by 2204, from getting a firsthand look at the Futurians' technology.<br />
*CNN and the Associated Press reported on the scene in ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' where the [[Godzillasaurus]] kills American soldiers on [[Lagos Island]], as well as the [[Futurian]]s' plan to subjugate Japan before it can become a superpower. On CNN, director [[Kazuki Omori]] stated, "The movie is not especially anti-U.S., I just thought I'd try to picture the identity of the Japanese people." [[Ishiro Honda]] stated in an interview in [[1992]] that he felt Kazuki Omori went too far in depicting the American soldiers being killed.<ref>[http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/honda.htm Ishiro Honda Interview]</ref> ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' would not be released in the [[United States]] for nearly seven years, the longest wait of any ''Godzilla'' film.<br />
*Toho reportedly considered producing a direct sequel to this film called ''[[The Return of King Ghidorah (Heisei)|The Return of King Ghidorah]]'', which would have involved a second King Ghidorah arriving from outer space, but decided to instead revive [[Mothra]] for [[1992]]'s ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''.<ref>[http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/kawakit.htm Koichi Kawakita Interview]</ref> An early draft for what would ultimately become ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]'' also featured Godzilla battling an alien King Ghidorah called [[Emperor Ghidorah]].<br />
*A [[MosuGoji|Godzilla 1964]] toy can be seen on [[Kenichiro Terasawa]]'s desk in multiple scenes.<br />
*During the scene where [[Emmy Kano]] is reprogramming [[M11]], [[Mechani-Kong]] is visible among a group of robot toys in a corner behind them, while a model of an [[Xilien UFO]] rests on a table behind M11's head.<br />
*A poster for the 1981 Toho film ''Imperial Navy'' hangs on a wall of Masukichi Ikehata's ramen shop.<br />
*Chiaki Moriyuma works as an editor for ''Super Mystery Magazine Mu'', a real Japanese occult magazine. When Chiaki asks Terasawa to write a story about the [[MOTHER|UFO]], he suggests that she give the story to Yaoi instead, referencing Japanese UFO writer Junichi Yaoi, who himself appears later in the film on a talk show as a "UFO expert."<br />
*When discussing the survival of dinosaurs in the modern day, Professor Mazaki shows Terasawa a photograph of the [[wikipedia:Zuiyo-maru carcass|''Zuiyo Maru'' creature]], a decomposing carcass of a marine creature discovered by a Japanese fishing trawler in 1977 off the coast of New Zealand. The carcass was widely speculated to be the remains of a [[wikipedia:Plesiosaur|plesiosaur]], though scientists soon debunked it as likely belonging to a [[wikipedia:Basking shark|basking shark]]. Mazaki, however, says he believes the remains look like those of a plesiosaur.<br />
*So Yamamura plays the Prime Minister of Japan in a third unconnected Toho sci-fi movie, following ''[[The Last War]]'' and ''[[Prophecies of Nostradamus]]''.<br />
*[[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]] in this film is the only monster in the ''Godzilla'' series to attack [[Hiroshima]], albeit in a single shot. The Genbaku Dome, which was the only building in the hypocenter of the 1945 atomic bomb blast to survive, appears in the foreground of the shot.<br />
*Despite being destroyed by [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'', the [[Haruna-class destroyer|''Haruna''-class destroyer]] ''Hiei'' appears in a scene.<br />
*The [[Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], which Godzilla and [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]] demolish during their battle, opened its doors just eight months before ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' premiered.<br />
*Storyboard art shows that at one point a [[wikipedia:spaceplane|spaceplane]] armed with a [[Maser Cannon]] was considered to appear in the film, where it would fly above the Earth in low orbit and attack Godzilla with an orbital bombardment of Maser beams, causing great damage to the surrounding area. Ultimately, this weapon did not make it past the drawing board.<br />
*''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' is the first of three ''Godzilla'' films to reuse a shot from the 1975 Toho film ''Conflagration'' of an oil refinery explosion, followed by ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' and ''[[Godzilla Final Wars]]''. In this instance, King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams were added to the shot.<br />

'''''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah''''' {{Nihongo|ゴジラ{{tt|VS|たい}}キングギドラ|Gojira {{tt|tai|alternatively 'buiesu'}} Kingu Gidora}} is a [[1991]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Kaiju Films|kaiju film]] directed and written by [[Kazuki Omori]], with special effects by [[Koichi Kawakita]]. Produced by [[Toho Pictures]], it is the 18th installment in the [[Godzilla (franchise)|''Godzilla'' series]] as well as the third in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]]. It stars Anna Nakagawa, Kosuke Toyohara, [[Megumi Odaka]], Kiwako Harada, [[Akiji Kobayashi]], [[Katsuhiko Sasaki]], Chuck Wilson, and So Yamamura. The film was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters by [[Toho]] on December 14, [[1991]].<ref name="Godzilla.jp">[http://godzilla.jp/work/18/ ゴジラVSキングギドラ|ゴジラ 東宝公式サイト] (official [[Godzilla.jp]] page)</ref> [[TriStar Pictures|Columbia TriStar Home Video]] released an English-dubbed version of the film to VHS in the [[United States]] on April 28, [[1998]].<br />
<br />
''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' brings back [[Godzilla]]'s arch-enemy, [[King Ghidorah]], for the new Heisei series of films. Still weakened from the [[Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria]] following his battle with [[Biollante]], [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] has remained dormant in the Sea of Japan for two years. However, a group of [[Futurian|time travelers from the year 2204]] arrive in [[Japan]] and warn that Godzilla will soon return and destroy the nation. To prevent this, they undertake a mission to [[1944]] to remove a [[Godzillasaurus|dinosaur]] from [[Lagos Island]] before it can be mutated into Godzilla by the ''Castle Bravo'' H-bomb test conducted at nearby [[Bikini Atoll]] in [[1954]]. The Futurians have other goals though, leaving behind three creatures called [[Dorat]]s on the island which are exposed to the bomb in the dinosaur's place and become the three-headed terror [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]]. As King Ghidorah terrorizes Japan, the government enacts a desperate plan to recreate Godzilla with a nuclear submarine, but it turns out that Godzilla was not actually erased from history as thought. After destroying and absorbing the energy from the nuclear sub, the empowered Godzilla prepares to face King Ghidorah himself. The box office success of ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' influenced Toho's practice of reintroducing classic monsters from the [[Showa era|Showa series]] in new ''Godzilla'' films. It was followed by ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'' in [[1992]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In the year [[2204]], a submarine discovers the seemingly lifeless two-headed body of [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]] at the bottom of the [[Sea of Okhotsk]]. Inside the submersible, a young woman confirms that Ghidorah had fought [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] at the end of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
One night during the summer of [[1992]], an enormous unidentified flying object is observed at various points over [[Japan]], including [[Tokyo]]. While the news media attempts to explain the strange phenomenon, [[Kenichiro Terasawa]], a writer for ''Super Mystery Magazine MU'', instead sets out to interview an old man who'd made news for protesting a dinosaur exhibit at a museum. The old man tells Terasawa a story of how, in [[1944]], a dinosaur saved his garrison from an American attack at [[Lagos Island]], a story which is later confirmed by [[Yasuaki Shindo]], the former Lagos garrison commander and present head of the Teiyo Group, a massive corporation he'd established in postwar Japan. In the course of his research, Terasawa develops a hypothesis that the dinosaur was exposed to radioactive fallout from H-bomb tests in [[1954]], irradiating the creature and transforming it into Godzilla.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the JSDF tracks the UFO's movements over the [[Pacific Ocean]], and it's discovered that the ship had visited Godzilla, who has been dormant since receiving a large dose of [[Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria]] and a battle with [[Biollante]]. [[MOTHER|The UFO]] soon lands at [[Mount Fuji]] and the inhabitants introduce themselves to the Japanese government: they are the westerners Wilson and Glenchico, and the Japanese woman [[Emmy Kano]], all three delegates from 2204 A.D. They reveal they've traveled through time to warn Japan of its grave future: due to industrialization and nuclear power, Godzilla will reappear and destroy Japan once and for all. As evidence, they present the book that Terasawa will write in the future, entitled ''The Birth of Godzilla''. With the government's agreement, the [[Futurian]]s organize a trip back to Lagos Island in 1944 to transport the [[Godzillasaurus]] to the [[Bering Sea]], where it won't be mutated by the H-bomb, thus preventing Japan's destruction. In addition to Emmy and [[M11]], the futurians' android, three people from the 20th century are invited to oversee the mission: Terasawa, [[Miki Saegusa]], and Professor Mazaki, a paleontologist and one of Terasawa's associates. Also making the trip are three [[Dorat|Dorats]], the Futurians' genetically-engineered pets, ostensibly to provide companionship to the five time travelers.<br />

The group from 1992 successfully arrives at its historical destination, where they secretly observe the battle between Imperial Japanese forces and [[United States|American]] marines. The depleted Japanese garrison is overwhelmed and almost eliminated by the U.S. landing unit. The furious battle, however, disturbs the Godzillasaurus. The Japanese soldiers retreat while the Americans turn their attention to the angry dinosaur. It tramples the Americans, who call for backup. Offshore, their destroyers shell the island and gravely injure the Godzillasaurus in the process, but not before it finishes off its land-based attackers. Miki positively identifies the dinosaur as Godzilla, so the time travelers begin plans for teleportation. They advance in time roughly one week and observe the Japanese unit's departure, including Lt. Shindo's tearful farewell to the dinosaur, whom he credits with saving his life. M11 then teleports the dinosaur to the bottom of the Bering Sea. As the group prepares to time warp back to 1992, Emmy clandestinely releases the Dorats onto the island.<br />
<br />
Back in 1992, it's confirmed that the mission was successful and Godzilla has disappeared. Glenchiko, however, reveals that the unforeseen has occurred: at the moment Godzilla disappeared, another monster called King Ghidorah appeared over the Pacific, heading for Japan. The three-headed creature ravages [[Fukuoka]] and begins moving northward through Kyushu. While the government struggles to grasp the connection between the two monsters, Miki concludes that King Ghidorah must have been created by the Dorats' exposure to the nuclear tests at Lagos Island, thus implicating the Futurians in the new monster's rampage.<br />
<br />
Deeply upset by the latest turn of events, Emmy comes clean to Terasawa about the true nature of the Futurians' visit. In her future, Japan has become the preeminent world superpower, thanks to its meteoric economic expansion. In time, she says, the nation will become so corrupt and wealthy that it will buy entire countries and even continents. To counteract its domination, people from around the world unite to form the Equal Environment Earth Union, the group to which the Futurians belong. Extremists Wilson and Glenchiko, along with moderate Emmy, stole the time machine to create King Ghidorah and to use it to extort the 20th century Japan, preventing its future ascension. The story about Godzilla's revival and subsequent destruction of Japan was merely a lie to force the Japanese people to cooperate. In Emmy's view, however, Wilson has gone too far, as he's now using King Ghidorah to completely destroy Japan.<br />
<br />
The government desperately formulates a plan to mutate the Godzillasaurus into Godzilla, who they perceive to be the only force powerful enough to defeat King Ghidorah and the Futurians. Despite the protests of certain civilian factions, Shindo's Teiyo Group provides a submarine armed with nuclear warheads for the task, dubbed "Operation G". Shortly thereafter, Miki senses Godzilla—not the Godzillasaurus—at the bottom of the Bering Sea. Emmy proposes that the dinosaur might have come in contact with radioactive material; Terasawa discovers that a Soviet nuclear submarine had previously disappeared in the Bering Sea where the Godzillasaurus had been transported. He realizes that this must have mutated the dinosaur, and thermal satellite images indeed confirm the existence of the 80-meter Godzilla where Miki had sensed him. But before they can warn the government, Godzilla destroys the submarine and consumes its energy, growing even larger in size and strength. Freshly energized, Godzilla comes ashore in [[Hokkaido]].<br />
<br />
Wilson and Glenchiko, realizing that the birth of Godzilla was an unavoidable event in the 20th century, send King Ghidorah to combat Godzilla. The monsters trade devastating blows, but Ghidorah gains the upper hand as it strangles Godzilla. Hundreds of miles away, on the Futurian UFO, Emmy, Terasawa and a reprogrammed M11 sabotage the monster control device. Godzilla seizes the opportunity and pummels his uncontrolled three-headed foe. With a supercharged atomic ray, Godzilla decapitates Ghidorah's middle head. King Ghidorah flies away, but succumbs to its wounds and crashes into the Sea of Okhotsk. Emmy confronts Wilson, whose plan has been foiled. Unbeknownst to her, however, Wilson plans to escape to the 23rd century. King Ghidorah may have lost, but Wilson reasons that the new Godzilla will finish off the ailing nation. Emmy, Terasawa, and M11 temporarily subdue Wilson and Glenchiko and escape the UFO in the smaller [[KIDS]] time-transport ship. From there, M11 teleports the mothership—with Wilson and Glenchiko aboard—to Hokkaido, where it's destroyed by Godzilla.<br />
<br />
Godzilla is engaged by a Maser brigade in [[Sapporo]] but it fast becomes apparent that the nuclear monster is unstoppable. M11's computer simulations show that Godzilla will not stop until he strikes Tokyo. Emmy proposes returning to her time to use 23rd century technology to revive King Ghidorah, with which she'll defend 20th century Japan. In the meantime, Godzilla reaches and lays waste to Tokyo. In Shinjuku, in a penthouse atop his skyscraper, Shindo watches helplessly as his former savior destroys the city that he'd helped rebuild. Godzilla in turn sees Shindo, and the two share a moment of recognition. Shindo accepts his fate as Godzilla incinerates him with his atomic ray.<br />
<br />
The sky flashes as Emmy arrives from the future. Her mission was successful: King Ghidorah had remained alive long enough for her government to convert it into the cybernetic being [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]]. The enormous monster engages Godzilla in battle in the midst of Shinjuku's towering skyscrapers. Even aided with future technology, Mecha-Ghidorah is no match for Godzilla's heat ray. Emmy arms the Godzilla Grip system, grappling cables which ensnare Godzilla. The mechanical dragon rises into the sky, with Godzilla in tow, and flies out to sea. Godzilla's ray tears through Ghidorah's wings and both monsters crash into the deep. The KIDS transport erupts from the ocean, revealing to her 20th century friends that Emmy had survived the battle. Before warping back to the the future, Emmy privately bids farewell to her country, and to Terasawa, whom she identifies as one of her ancestors.<br />
<br />
At the bottom of the sea, entangled in Mecha-King Ghidorah's remains, Godzilla awakens.<br />

==[[United States|U.S.]] release==<br />
[[File:Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah American VHS Cover.jpg|thumb|right|200px|U.S. original ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidora'' VHS cover]]<br />
[[TriStar Pictures]] released ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' to VHS on April 28, [[1998]], along with ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''. The film was titled ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidora'' for this release, though only on cover art (later releases would correct this to "''Godzilla vs. King Ghidora'''h'''''"). Like what Miramax had done for ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' in [[1992]], TriStar elected to simply use Toho's international English dub for the film. The only edits TriStar made to the film involved on-screen text and the end credits. Rather than use Toho's international title card, TriStar included the Japanese title card with "''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah''" in parentheses at the bottom of the screen. TriStar also provided its own English-language opening credits and cut the end credits, replacing them with a black screen including copyright information.<br />
<br />
A fullscreen DVD release followed on November 3, 1998, on a double-sided disc with ''Godzilla vs. Mothra''. This DVD is also included in ''The Toho Godzilla Collection, Volume 2'', along with ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]'', ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]'', ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'', and ''[[Rebirth of Mothra 2]]'', along with the ''13-Film Collection'', which adds ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II]]'' and the six ''Godzilla'' films from the [[Millennium era]], and a Triple Feature with ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]''. [[Sony]] paired it with ''Godzilla vs. Mothra'' again for a two-disc Blu-ray release on May 6, 2014. Aside from presenting the film in its original aspect ratio, the Blu-ray includes a Japanese audio option, although some lines in the subtitles are copied verbatim from the English dub. Sony recreated the English visuals in the TriStar version, including the truncated end credits. Changes include the misspelling of [[Koichi Kawakita]]'s name ("Kopichi Kawakita") and a repositioned English title card.<br />
<br />
In 2013, [[SciFi Japan]] co-founder Keith Aiken disclosed that Sony's rights to ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' and ''Godzilla vs. Mothra'' would be up for renewal in 2019.<ref name="MZ">{{cite web|url=http://www.scifijapan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=421209&fbclid=IwAR3Rn0to9fYKI4t7I9o2knwPpNv33zj235UIWQVcmU3uOMffb3Y3XIyCe6o#p421209|title=Re: Any News on Godzilla DVD Rereleases?|author=Aiken, Keith|date=20 November 2013|work=Monster Zero Forums}}</ref> Sony appears to have let their rights lapse, as prices for the film's individual DVD and Blu-ray releases have begun to climb on Amazon and eBay, and it is no longer available for digital rental or purchase on any platform.<br />

==Box office==<br />
''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' had a budget of ¥1.5 billion, or roughly $12 million.{{Citation needed}} When the film was released in Japan on December 14, 1991, it had an attendance of 2.7 million and grossed ¥1.45 billion, making it the 8th highest grossing Japanese film of 1992.<ref name="HGPerfection"/><br />
==Reception==<br />
{{Stub}}<br />
''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' is generally well-received by fans. Internet critic James Rolfe (AKA the Angry Video Game Nerd) of Cinemassacre considers the film one of the best of the series. Most critics consider it a fun film but that the time travel plot holds it back. It's also been criticized for similarities with the Terminator films.<br />
<br />
Some Godzilla fans have expressed dissatisfaction with King Ghidorah's origin in the movie, especially in reference to the [[Dorat]]s, as well as with the film's time-travel plot.<br />
<br />
Though the Japan Academy Prize does not have a category for visual effects, [[Koichi Kawakita]] and his special effects team received a Special Prize in 1992 for their work on the film.<ref name="IMDb">[http://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000372/1992 Awards of the Japanese Academy, 1992]</ref><br />

==Novelization==<br />
{{Main|Novel: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah}}<br />
A novelization of the film, titled ''[[Novel: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'', was written by [[Toho]] film producer [[Fumio Tanaka]] and published by [[Asahi Sonorama]] in 1991. The novelization follows the plot of the film, but includes some differences. Most notably, the novel opens with the discovery of the carcass of [[King Ghidorah]] on the surface of [[Venus]], with the [[Futurian]]s harvesting its DNA and using it to engineer the [[Dorat]]s. [[Kenichiro Terasawa]] and Chiaki Moriyuma get married at the end of the novel, with [[Emmy Kano]] secretly attending their wedding party. Emmy gives the receptionist a pendant containing a photograph of herself and her mother, who is noted to look a lot like Chiaki, and asks the receptionist to give it to Chiaki. Other minor differences from the film include the name of the Teiyo Group's nuclear submarine.<br />
==Manga adaptation==<br />
{{main|Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (manga)}}<br />
A [[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (manga)|manga adaptation of the film]] was published by [[Shogakukan]] in December 1991. The manga's story corresponds to the film's, but many characters, notably [[Miki Saegusa]], [[Yasuaki Shindo]], and Professor Mazaki, are omitted. In addition, the character [[Sho Kuroki]] from ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' is featured in the manga. Other changes include a battle between [[KIDS]] and [[Godzillasaurus]], the [[JSDF]] sending tanks and [[MBT-MB92|MBT-MB92s]] after [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]] while [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] goes unchallenged, and Godzilla trying to shoot down KIDS with the last of his energy after [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]] carries him out to sea.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*This is the first movie in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]] to feature a monster from the [[Showa era|Showa series]] other than Godzilla.<br />
*Stuntman [[Hurricane Ryu Hariken|"Hurricane" Ryu Hariken]], who portrayed [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]], would later return to play the [[Battra]] larva in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'', [[Godzilla Junior|BabyGodzilla]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II]]'' and [[Godzilla Junior]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]''. [[Wataru Fukuda]], who played the [[Godzillasaurus]], would later play [[Mechagodzilla (Heisei)|Mechagodzilla]] in ''Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II'' and [[Moguera|MOGUERA]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]''.<br />
*A loose end in the film's plot that deserves mention involves King Ghidorah and [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]]. In the beginning of the film, Glenchico states that a person cannot exist in the same time twice; if they brought [[Yasuaki Shindo]] back to [[1944]], one of the Shindos would have to vanish. However, when Godzilla defeats King Ghidorah, the monster falls into the Sea of Okhotsk, where it stays for 200 years. In 2204, Ghidorah is resurrected as a cyborg and returned to 1992. However, as the wounded King Ghidorah is still laying in the sea when Mecha-King Ghidorah arrives, two Ghidorahs clearly exist in the same time. As if to further contradict this statement, when Mecha-King Ghidorah is defeated by Godzilla, it too falls into the Sea of Okhotsk, meaning two Ghidorahs not only coexist in the same time, but in the same place as well. This seems to be a clear violation of Glenchico's statement. However, it is possible that once Mecha-King Ghidorah came to the past, the body of the previous Ghidorah that was lying in the Sea of Okhotsk vanished as Glenchico said would happen; Mecha-King Ghidorah could then take the previous Ghidorah's place in the sea. It is also possible that he lied in order to prevent Shindo, whose company would become the largest in the world by 2204, from getting a firsthand look at the Futurians' technology.<br />
*CNN and the Associated Press reported on the scene in ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' where the [[Godzillasaurus]] kills American soldiers on [[Lagos Island]], as well as the [[Futurian]]s' plan to subjugate Japan before it can become a superpower. On CNN, director [[Kazuki Omori]] stated, "The movie is not especially anti-U.S., I just thought I'd try to picture the identity of the Japanese people." [[Ishiro Honda]] stated in an interview in [[1992]] that he felt Kazuki Omori went too far in depicting the American soldiers being killed.<ref>[http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/honda.htm Ishiro Honda Interview]</ref> ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' would not be released in the [[United States]] for nearly seven years, the longest wait of any ''Godzilla'' film.<br />
*Toho reportedly considered producing a direct sequel to this film called ''[[The Return of King Ghidorah (Heisei)|The Return of King Ghidorah]]'', which would have involved a second King Ghidorah arriving from outer space, but decided to instead revive [[Mothra]] for [[1992]]'s ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''.<ref>[http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/kawakit.htm Koichi Kawakita Interview]</ref> An early draft for what would ultimately become ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]'' also featured Godzilla battling an alien King Ghidorah called [[Emperor Ghidorah]].<br />
*A [[MosuGoji|Godzilla 1964]] toy can be seen on [[Kenichiro Terasawa]]'s desk in multiple scenes.<br />
*During the scene where [[Emmy Kano]] is reprogramming [[M11]], [[Mechani-Kong]] is visible among a group of robot toys in a corner behind them, while a model of an [[Xilien UFO]] rests on a table behind M11's head.<br />
*A poster for the 1981 Toho film ''Imperial Navy'' hangs on a wall of Masukichi Ikehata's ramen shop.<br />
*Chiaki Moriyuma works as an editor for ''Super Mystery Magazine Mu'', a real Japanese occult magazine. When Chiaki asks Terasawa to write a story about the [[MOTHER|UFO]], he suggests that she give the story to Yaoi instead, referencing Japanese UFO writer Junichi Yaoi, who himself appears later in the film on a talk show as a "UFO expert."<br />
*When discussing the survival of dinosaurs in the modern day, Professor Mazaki shows Terasawa a photograph of the [[wikipedia:Zuiyo-maru carcass|''Zuiyo Maru'' creature]], a decomposing carcass of a marine creature discovered by a Japanese fishing trawler in 1977 off the coast of New Zealand. The carcass was widely speculated to be the remains of a [[wikipedia:Plesiosaur|plesiosaur]], though scientists soon debunked it as likely belonging to a [[wikipedia:Basking shark|basking shark]]. Mazaki, however, says he believes the remains look like those of a plesiosaur.<br />
*So Yamamura plays the Prime Minister of Japan in a third unconnected Toho sci-fi movie, following ''[[The Last War]]'' and ''[[Prophecies of Nostradamus]]''.<br />
*[[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]] in this film is the only monster in the ''Godzilla'' series to attack [[Hiroshima]], albeit in a single shot. The Genbaku Dome, which was the only building in the hypocenter of the 1945 atomic bomb blast to survive, appears in the foreground of the shot.<br />
*Despite being destroyed by [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'', the [[Haruna-class destroyer|''Haruna''-class destroyer]] ''Hiei'' appears in a scene.<br />
*The [[Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], which Godzilla and [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]] demolish during their battle, opened its doors just eight months before ''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' premiered.<br />
*Storyboard art shows that at one point a [[wikipedia:spaceplane|spaceplane]] armed with a [[Maser Cannon]] was considered to appear in the film, where it would fly above the Earth in low orbit and attack Godzilla with an orbital bombardment of Maser beams, causing great damage to the surrounding area. Ultimately, this weapon did not make it past the drawing board.<br />
*''Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'' is the first of three ''Godzilla'' films to reuse a shot from the 1975 Toho film ''Conflagration'' of an oil refinery explosion, followed by ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' and ''[[Godzilla Final Wars]]''. In this instance, King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams were added to the shot.<br />

'''''Bye-Bye Jupiter''''' {{Nihongo|さよならジュピター|Sayonara Jupitā|lit. ''Goodbye Jupiter''}} is a [[1984]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Films|film]] produced by [[Toho]]. It was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters on March 17, [[1984]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In the year [[2125]], the Earth's population has exceeded 18 billion and mankind has terraformed many of the planets of the Solar System. On Mars, the Solar System Development Organization is conducting Operation Delta, using charges to melt the Martian polar icecaps into a reservoir with a newly-built dam. Under the ice, however, they found giant symbols carved into the ground like the [[wikipedia:Nazca lines|Nazca lines]] of Peru. Similar symbols had already been found on the surface of Earth's Moon.<br />
<br />
The passenger ship ''Tokyo-III'' transports space linguist Millicent Willem from Phobos to the ''Minerva-II'' station orbiting Jupiter to see Chief Eiji Honda. She is seated next to Hoger Kinn, an Irish Space Force Captain who also has an appointment with Eiji. Upon arrival, he informs the captain that two unmanned probes went missing and he is going to investigate the cause. Millie tells Eiji that aliens left a message on the Moon 100,000 years ago, followed by a message on Mars 50,000 years ago. From what she has deciphered, it shows an alien convoy trajectory pointing to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. She implores Eiji to put his Jupiter Solarization project on hold.<br />
<br />
Later, Eiji and his partner Booker Lafayette explain the JS project. Some of the 500 million people who have left Earth to live elsewhere in the Solar System don't receive enough sunlight, so the JSP aims to solarize Jupiter by overloading the planet with nuclear fusion and neutrino. As Eiji's boy genius apprentice Carlos Angeles explains the process, a group of radicals destroy a carbon tetrachloride tank and are detained. It is found out that they are part of a new religion called the Jupiter Church, which is opposed to space exploration and thinks humanity should only live on Earth. Meanwhile, Captain Kinn and Dr. Ryutaro Inoue take off in the ''Space Arrow'' to investigate the comet nest where the probes disappeared. They are frozen in hypersleep pods.<br />
<br />
Eiji recognizes his childhood sweetheart Maria Basehart in the group of radicals, who he has not seen in three years. He brings her to his office. He asks why she has joined the Jupiter Church and as they make love, explains via voiceover that they grew up on Mars and her parents died in a crash on the way to Earth, giving her a lifelong hatred of space travel. Eiji's automated assistant Nancy interrupts the two and notifies Eiji that it is time to depart with Millie to the Great Red Spot.<br />
<br />
Upon arrival, Eiji and Millie see a giant floating object which Eiji had seen prior and named ''Jupiter Ghost''. They pick up transmissions from the ''Jupiter Ghost'' that sound like wailing and believe that it is talking to them. Millie urges Eiji to move closer to it, but Jupiter's harsh weather damages one of their ship's wings, forcing them to return to ''Minerva-II''. Millie decides to go to Earth's Moon because it has the world's most advanced computer system and she wants to decipher the message sent from the ''Jupiter Ghost''. As Eiji watches a video message from Kinn, she sees Dr. Inoue in the background and recognizes him as her old lover.<br />
<br />
The computer on the ''Space Arrow'' prematurely awakens Captain Kinn and Dr. Inoue from their hypersleep pods as they approach an anomaly in space. Though still mostly frozen, Kinn manages to send a distress call just before the ship is destroyed.<br />
<br />
Detective Mohammed Mansur investigates the destruction of the ''Space Arrow'' and the unmanned probes at the lunar computer center, where he meets Millie, equally curious about Dr. Inoue's fate. She deciphers the ''Jupiter Ghost'' message as "DARK HEAVY DANGEROUS" at the same time as Mansur comes to the conclusion that a black hole destroyed the ''Space Arrow''. Both are devastated. Mansur informs the the SSDO that the black hole is moving and will lay waste to the Solar System in only two years.<br />
<br />
Eiji talks to SSDO Chairman Webb about repurposing the JS Project to overloading Jupiter with nuclear fusion and firing it at the black hole to alter its course. The political backlash is tremendous, but with the entire Solar System at risk, SSDO goes ahead with the project anyway. Carlos suffers a nervous breakdown after an accident on ''Minerva-II'', so Booker decides to fill in for him at a conference in Europe. He never makes it; the Jupiter Church sets off a bomb in his transport.<br />
<br />
Unable to handle losing another friend, Eiji travels to the Jupiter Church's beach and confronts its leader, Peter, who insists that his followers are strictly pacifists. Peter's pet dolphin Jupiter is suddenly attacked by a shark. Eiji kills the predator, but too late to save Jupiter, which greatly upsets Peter. At the same time, Maria is arguing with her best friend Anita June Pope about how the bombs she has been planting stray too far from what Peter believes; Anita, madly in love with Peter, counters that it is the only way that his vision could be achieved.<br />
<br />
When Eiji returns to ''Minerva-II'', he finds Carlos paralyzed from the waist down by another accident, confined to an Emergency Convenience Vehicle. While recovering, he designed a new control room for the Jupiter Project called Mahayana 60. Anita's squad stows away on a cargo craft to ''Minerva-II'', where Anita gives them pills that eliminate any fear and effectively turn them into mindless soldiers. The station's yellow and orange groups evacuate, while the essential red group remains: Eiji, Carlos, security guard Tanaka, and engineer Richard. Millie volunteers to work at SSDO to see the tragedy through, where she also bonds with her irritable grandfather Chairman Webb, who has been worn out from his job. As the red-jacket group is nearly ready to execute their plan, Richard spots a saboteur, Mike, who opens fire on him with a laser rifle. Tanaka is the only one of the group with a laser gun, but it is a weak pistol and he is soon shot down. Eiji quickly reaches for the gun and pulls the unconscious Tanaka to cover, while Carlos tries to finish the final preparations. He is shot in the shoulder and falls off of his ECV. Mike's pill wears off, leaving him shocked at his actions and giving an awakened Richard an opening to shoot him. He manages to kill another saboteur before Anita shoots him. Maria finds high ground, ready to kill Eiji, but her pill wears off and she kills Anita instead.<br />
<br />
Eiji takes Carlos to the cargo ship and sets it to take off, but stays behind to search for the last intruder. He shoots Maria before he realizes it's her. Wounded, she walks him through removing the explosives her comrades planted. He misses one, which detonates as he walks towards it. As the JS Project reaches its automated stage, Eiji and Maria crawl towards each other. Eiji asks Maria to play his message card so he can hear Kinn's voice one last time, but a famous [[Sayonara Jupiter|song]] Peter wrote plays instead. The cry of ''Jupiter Ghost'' resonates throughout the Mahayana control room. The mysterious Jovians are sending a farewell message, knowing they are going to die with Jupiter.<br />
<br />
''Minerva-II'' crashes into Jupiter, sending it flying towards the black hole at sub-light speed and changing its course.<br />
<br />
Millie, Carlos, and Webb hold a funeral for Eiji and Maria on an asteroid to honor the fallen heroes.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*[[Akihiko Hirata]]'s role as Inoue Ryutaro in this film was the actor's final role before he died later that same year. Hirata was planned to appear in ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' as [[Makoto Hayashida|Doctor Hayashida]], but was replaced by Yosuke Natsuki after his death.<br />
*In one scene, Captain Hoger Kinn can be seen watching ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]''. In Komatsu's novel, he watches ''Star Wars 20'' instead.<!--<br />
*Writer [[Sakyo Komatsu]] originally wanted Orson Welles to play the role of the SSDO President, however William Tapier was ultimately cast.{{Citation needed}}--><br />
*The props used for the SSDO Large Type Blasters were recycled in ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' as a weapon used by the [[Futurian]]s' M10 androids.<!--<br />
*According to promotional images, the "SSDO Small type Blaster" (小型ブラスター) is modeled after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAR-15_XM177 LS M177].<br />
*According to the Making of Sayonara Jupiter, the film used the same type of "Snorkel Camera" used in the filming of Star Wars to emulate a proper size effect for the flying space ships.<br />
*Several of the ships from Sayonara Jupiter are seen in ''[[The Godzilla Comic]]'' "Godzilla: Kaiju Warrior".--><br />
*The launch bay for the ''[[Earth (ship)|Earth]]'' probe vessel in ''[[Monster Planet of Godzilla]]'' is the Minerva base hanger launch bay, only vertically flipped.<br />
*This is the only [[Sakyo Komatsu]] work to have been intended to become a movie right from the beginning.<!--<br />
*In the novel, there is a scene where the SSDO and the Jupiter Church have a Space battle.<br />
*In the novel, there are powered space suits used for repairs.<br />
*In the novel, Eiji and Maria reserve a "Love hotel" on Minerva.<br />
*In the novel, the project to melt the Martian polar icecaps is called "Operation Delta".--><br />

<br />
When Eiji returns to ''Minerva-II'', he finds Carlos paralyzed from the waist down by another accident, confined to an Emergency Convenience Vehicle. While recovering, he designed a new control room for the Jupiter Project called Mahayana 60. Anita's squad stows away on a cargo craft to ''Minerva-II'', where Anita gives them pills that eliminate any fear and effectively turn them into mindless soldiers. The station's yellow and orange groups evacuate, while the essential red group remains: Eiji, Carlos, security guard Tanaka, and engineer Richard. Millie volunteers to work at SSDO to see the tragedy through, where she also bonds with her irritable grandfather Chairman Webb, who has been worn out from his job. As the red-jacket group is nearly ready to execute their plan, Richard spots a saboteur, Mike, who opens fire on him with a laser rifle. Tanaka is the only one of the group with a laser gun, but it is a weak pistol and he is soon shot down. Eiji quickly reaches for the gun and pulls the unconscious Tanaka to cover, while Carlos tries to finish the final preparations. He is shot in the shoulder and falls off of his ECV. Mike's pill wears off, leaving him shocked at his actions and giving an awakened Richard an opening to shoot him. He manages to kill another saboteur before Anita shoots him. Maria finds high ground, ready to kill Eiji, but her pill wears off and she kills Anita instead.<br />
<br />
Eiji takes Carlos to the cargo ship and sets it to take off, but stays behind to search for the last intruder. He shoots Maria before he realizes it's her. Wounded, she walks him through removing the explosives her comrades planted. He misses one, which detonates as he walks towards it. As the JS Project reaches its automated stage, Eiji and Maria crawl towards each other. Eiji asks Maria to play his message card so he can hear Kinn's voice one last time, but a famous [[Sayonara Jupiter|song]] Peter wrote plays instead. The cry of ''Jupiter Ghost'' resonates throughout the Mahayana control room. The mysterious Jovians are sending a farewell message, knowing they are going to die with Jupiter.<br />
<br />
''Minerva-II'' crashes into Jupiter, sending it flying towards the black hole at sub-light speed and changing its course.<br />
<br />
Millie, Carlos, and Webb hold a funeral for Eiji and Maria on an asteroid to honor the fallen heroes.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*[[Akihiko Hirata]]'s role as Inoue Ryutaro in this film was the actor's final role before he died later that same year. Hirata was planned to appear in ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' as [[Makoto Hayashida|Doctor Hayashida]], but was replaced by Yosuke Natsuki after his death.<br />
*In one scene, Captain Hoger Kinn can be seen watching ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]''. In Komatsu's novel, he watches ''Star Wars 20'' instead.<!--<br />
*Writer [[Sakyo Komatsu]] originally wanted Orson Welles to play the role of the SSDO President, however William Tapier was ultimately cast.{{Citation needed}}--><br />
*The props used for the SSDO Large Type Blasters were recycled in ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' as a weapon used by the [[Futurian]]s' M10 androids.<!--<br />
*According to promotional images, the "SSDO Small type Blaster" (小型ブラスター) is modeled after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAR-15_XM177 LS M177].<br />
*According to the Making of Sayonara Jupiter, the film used the same type of "Snorkel Camera" used in the filming of Star Wars to emulate a proper size effect for the flying space ships.<br />
*Several of the ships from Sayonara Jupiter are seen in ''[[The Godzilla Comic]]'' "Godzilla: Kaiju Warrior".--><br />
*The launch bay for the ''[[Earth (ship)|Earth]]'' probe vessel in ''[[Monster Planet of Godzilla]]'' is the Minerva base hanger launch bay, only vertically flipped.<br />
*This is the only [[Sakyo Komatsu]] work to have been intended to become a movie right from the beginning.<!--<br />
*In the novel, there is a scene where the SSDO and the Jupiter Church have a Space battle.<br />
*In the novel, there are powered space suits used for repairs.<br />
*In the novel, Eiji and Maria reserve a "Love hotel" on Minerva.<br />
*In the novel, the project to melt the Martian polar icecaps is called "Operation Delta".--><br />

'''''Bye-Bye Jupiter''''' {{Nihongo|さよならジュピター|Sayonara Jupitā|lit. ''Goodbye Jupiter''}} is a [[1984]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Films|film]] produced by [[Toho]]. It was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters on March 17, [[1984]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In the year [[2125]], the Earth's population has exceeded 18 billion and mankind has terraformed many of the planets of the Solar System. On Mars, the Solar System Development Organization is conducting Operation Delta, using charges to melt the Martian polar icecaps into a reservoir with a newly-built dam. Under the ice, however, they found giant symbols carved into the ground like the [[wikipedia:Nazca lines|Nazca lines]] of Peru. Similar symbols had already been found on the surface of Earth's Moon.<br />
<br />
The passenger ship ''Tokyo-III'' transports space linguist Millicent Willem from Phobos to the ''Minerva-II'' station orbiting Jupiter to see Chief Eiji Honda. She is seated next to Hoger Kinn, an Irish Space Force Captain who also has an appointment with Eiji. Upon arrival, he informs the captain that two unmanned probes went missing and he is going to investigate the cause. Millie tells Eiji that aliens left a message on the Moon 100,000 years ago, followed by a message on Mars 50,000 years ago. From what she has deciphered, it shows an alien convoy trajectory pointing to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. She implores Eiji to put his Jupiter Solarization project on hold.<br />
<br />
Later, Eiji and his partner Booker Lafayette explain the JS project. Some of the 500 million people who have left Earth to live elsewhere in the Solar System don't receive enough sunlight, so the JSP aims to solarize Jupiter by overloading the planet with nuclear fusion and neutrino. As Eiji's boy genius apprentice Carlos Angeles explains the process, a group of radicals destroy a carbon tetrachloride tank and are detained. It is found out that they are part of a new religion called the Jupiter Church, which is opposed to space exploration and thinks humanity should only live on Earth. Meanwhile, Captain Kinn and Dr. Ryutaro Inoue take off in the ''Space Arrow'' to investigate the comet nest where the probes disappeared. They are frozen in hypersleep pods.<br />
<br />
Eiji recognizes his childhood sweetheart Maria Basehart in the group of radicals, who he has not seen in three years. He brings her to his office. He asks why she has joined the Jupiter Church and as they make love, explains via voiceover that they grew up on Mars and her parents died in a crash on the way to Earth, giving her a lifelong hatred of space travel. Eiji's automated assistant Nancy interrupts the two and notifies Eiji that it is time to depart with Millie to the Great Red Spot.<br />
<br />
Upon arrival, Eiji and Millie see a giant floating object which Eiji had seen prior and named ''Jupiter Ghost''. They pick up transmissions from the ''Jupiter Ghost'' that sound like wailing and believe that it is talking to them. Millie urges Eiji to move closer to it, but Jupiter's harsh weather damages one of their ship's wings, forcing them to return to ''Minerva-II''. Millie decides to go to Earth's Moon because it has the world's most advanced computer system and she wants to decipher the message sent from the ''Jupiter Ghost''. As Eiji watches a video message from Kinn, she sees Dr. Inoue in the background and recognizes him as her old lover.<br />
<br />
The computer on the ''Space Arrow'' prematurely awakens Captain Kinn and Dr. Inoue from their hypersleep pods as they approach an anomaly in space. Though still mostly frozen, Kinn manages to send a distress call just before the ship is destroyed.<br />
<br />
Detective Mohammed Mansur investigates the destruction of the ''Space Arrow'' and the unmanned probes at the lunar computer center, where he meets Millie, equally curious about Dr. Inoue's fate. She deciphers the ''Jupiter Ghost'' message as "DARK HEAVY DANGEROUS" at the same time as Mansur comes to the conclusion that a black hole destroyed the ''Space Arrow''. Both are devastated. Mansur informs the the SSDO that the black hole is moving and will lay waste to the Solar System in only two years.<br />
<br />
Eiji talks to SSDO Chairman Webb about repurposing the JS Project to overloading Jupiter with nuclear fusion and firing it at the black hole to alter its course. The political backlash is tremendous, but with the entire Solar System at risk, SSDO goes ahead with the project anyway. Carlos suffers a nervous breakdown after an accident on ''Minerva-II'', so Booker decides to fill in for him at a conference in Europe. He never makes it; the Jupiter Church sets off a bomb in his transport.<br />
<br />
Unable to handle losing another friend, Eiji travels to the Jupiter Church's beach and confronts its leader, Peter, who insists that his followers are strictly pacifists. Peter's pet dolphin Jupiter is suddenly attacked by a shark. Eiji kills the predator, but too late to save Jupiter, which greatly upsets Peter. At the same time, Maria is arguing with her best friend Anita June Pope about how the bombs she has been planting stray too far from what Peter believes; Anita, madly in love with Peter, counters that it is the only way that his vision could be achieved.<br />
<br />
When Eiji returns to ''Minerva-II'', he finds Carlos paralyzed from the waist down by another accident, confined to an Emergency Convenience Vehicle. While recovering, he designed a new control room for the Jupiter Project called Mahayana 60. Anita's squad stows away on a cargo craft to ''Minerva-II'', where Anita gives them pills that eliminate any fear and effectively turn them into mindless soldiers. The station's yellow and orange groups evacuate, while the essential red group remains: Eiji, Carlos, security guard Tanaka, and engineer Richard. Millie volunteers to work at SSDO to see the tragedy through, where she also bonds with her irritable grandfather Chairman Webb, who has been worn out from his job. As the red-jacket group is nearly ready to execute their plan, Richard spots a saboteur, Mike, who opens fire on him with a laser rifle. Tanaka is the only one of the group with a laser gun, but it is a weak pistol and he is soon shot down. Eiji quickly reaches for the gun and pulls the unconscious Tanaka to cover, while Carlos tries to finish the final preparations. He is shot in the shoulder and falls off of his ECV. Mike's pill wears off, leaving him shocked at his actions and giving an awakened Richard an opening to shoot him. He manages to kill another saboteur before Anita shoots him. Maria finds high ground, ready to kill Eiji, but her pill wears off and she kills Anita instead.<br />
<br />
Eiji takes Carlos to the cargo ship and sets it to take off, but stays behind to search for the last intruder. He shoots Maria before he realizes it's her. Wounded, she walks him through removing the explosives her comrades planted. He misses one, which detonates as he walks towards it. As the JS Project reaches its automated stage, Eiji and Maria crawl towards each other. Eiji asks Maria to play his message card so he can hear Kinn's voice one last time, but a famous [[Sayonara Jupiter|song]] Peter wrote plays instead. The cry of ''Jupiter Ghost'' resonates throughout the Mahayana control room. The mysterious Jovians are sending a farewell message, knowing they are going to die with Jupiter.<br />
<br />
''Minerva-II'' crashes into Jupiter, sending it flying towards the black hole at sub-light speed and changing its course.<br />
<br />
Millie, Carlos, and Webb hold a funeral for Eiji and Maria on an asteroid to honor the fallen heroes.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*[[Akihiko Hirata]]'s role as Inoue Ryutaro in this film was the actor's final role before he died later that same year. Hirata was planned to appear in ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' as [[Makoto Hayashida|Doctor Hayashida]], but was replaced by Yosuke Natsuki after his death.<br />
*In one scene, Captain Hoger Kinn can be seen watching ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]''. In Komatsu's novel, he watches ''Star Wars 20'' instead.<!--<br />
*Writer [[Sakyo Komatsu]] originally wanted Orson Welles to play the role of the SSDO President, however William Tapier was ultimately cast.{{Citation needed}}--><br />
*The props used for the SSDO Large Type Blasters were recycled in ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' as a weapon used by the [[Futurian]]s' M10 androids.<!--<br />
*According to promotional images, the "SSDO Small type Blaster" (小型ブラスター) is modeled after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAR-15_XM177 LS M177].<br />
*According to the Making of Sayonara Jupiter, the film used the same type of "Snorkel Camera" used in the filming of Star Wars to emulate a proper size effect for the flying space ships.<br />
*Several of the ships from Sayonara Jupiter are seen in ''[[The Godzilla Comic]]'' "Godzilla: Kaiju Warrior".--><br />
*The launch bay for the ''[[Earth (ship)|Earth]]'' probe vessel in ''[[Monster Planet of Godzilla]]'' is the Minerva base hanger launch bay, only vertically flipped.<br />
*This is the only [[Sakyo Komatsu]] work to have been intended to become a movie right from the beginning.<!--<br />
*In the novel, there is a scene where the SSDO and the Jupiter Church have a Space battle.<br />
*In the novel, there are powered space suits used for repairs.<br />
*In the novel, Eiji and Maria reserve a "Love hotel" on Minerva.<br />
*In the novel, the project to melt the Martian polar icecaps is called "Operation Delta".--><br />

<br />
== Name ==<br />
M10 has a naming structure similar to the Futurians other android model [[M11]], suggesting that M10 is the android model built before M11. M101<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101962/characters/nm13997653?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t22 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101962/characters/nm13997653?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t23]</ref> and M102<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101962/characters/nm13997653?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t22</ref> are the names given to the two M10 that were monitoring [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|King Ghidorah]] on the main computer in [[MOTHER]]. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
=== [[Heisei era]] ===<br />
<br />
==== ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' ====<br />
Multiple M10 were seen onboard the Futurian's mothership MOTHER, working mainly as security personnel with two M10 being seen working on the computer in the mothership's control room alongside a single M11 android. An M10 was seen patrolling the area near the computer that the Futurians were using to control King Ghidorah but was then taken out by the now reprogrammed M11 which gave the M10's weapon to [[Kenichiro Terasawa]] who alongside [[Emmy Kano]], the Japanese futurian who had now sided with her home country blew up the device being used to control King Ghidorah. Later the Futurians then sent an entire fleet of M10 to terminate the intruders only to be encountered by M11, the androids got into a shootout in which M11 easily took out each and every one of the other androids. Later when Emmy and Terasawa interrogated Wilson and Glenchico in the main control room of the mothership M101 and M102 held down Terasawa so that Glenchico could shoot him with the blaster that he stole, only for M11 to show up and knock him out and destroy M101 and M102 by throwing them onto the floor damaging their circuitry. <br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
M10 have multiple automated and synthetic enhancements which allow for them to be more durable then actual human beings, as Terasawa hurt his leg after kicking one of the robots in the chest due to their mechanical interior. Many of the M10 were equipped with a large blaster which they used in their brief encounter with M11. Although M11 was technologically superior than the M10 as he took down several M10 with a smaller blaster, or by physical force such as when he slammed M101 and M102 onto the floor. <br />

<div>[[File:Bandai_Movie_Monster_Series.jpg|250px|right]]The '''Movie Monster Series''' {{Nihongo|ムービーモンスターシリーズ|Mūbī Monsutā Shirīzu}} is the third line of 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures by [[Bandai]]. The line began in [[2001]]. While primarily a ''Godzilla'' line, the Movie Monster Series occasionally features figures of monsters from other media, including the [[Heisei era|Heisei]] ''[[Gamera (franchise)|Gamera]]'' Trilogy and ''[[Shin Ultraman]]''.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==2001==<br />
The Movie Monster Series was launched in 2001, featuring reissues of 10 of the figures from the previous line, the [[Toho Kaiju Series]]. The figures were given a new vinyl color, different paint highlights (if not most giving resemblance to their film counterparts), and even a larger size difference when compared to the Toho Kaiju Series. The tags for the Movie Monster Series figures are completely different from the previous lines; the borders were removed with the pictures of each respective monsters taking up most of the front of the tag, and the back shows a picture of the head of one of the [[Godzilla]]s from the respective era where the monster originated ([[RadoGoji|Godzilla 1993]] for [[Heisei era|Heisei]] monsters, and [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] for [[Showa era|Showa]] monsters). Towards the end of 2001, Bandai released one more figure to the Movie Monster Series: [[MogeGoji|Burning Godzilla]].<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'' in 2001, Bandai added the movie's versions of [[GMKGoji|Godzilla]], [[Baragon|Baragon]], [[Mothra (GMK)|Mothra]] and [[King Ghidorah (Millennium)|King Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up, but unlike the other figures in the line, they are not a part of the 6-inch scale. Instead, they are all part of the 8-inch scale, making this the only line of primarily 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures to also produce 8-inch figures. Theater exclusives for all four figures were made, as well as an event-exclusive Clear Version Godzilla, a ''Hyper Hobby'' exclusive translucent glitter Godzilla, and an orange translucent Baragon. The tags for the ''GMK'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head.<br />

==2002==<br />
To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' in 2002, Bandai added [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2003]] and [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2003]], the latter both with and without weapons, to the Movie Monster line-up, and like the ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack|GMK]]'' figures, they were all part of the 8-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for both the Godzilla 2003 and Mechagodzilla 2003 with weapons figures were also produced, as well as a red Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and a Link Science exclusive Mechagodzilla.<br />

During the Asian Fantasy Film Festival in 2002, Bandai representative Yasumasa Kawauchi announced to guests during a panel discussion that there was a 50/50 chance that a 6-inch [[Titanosaurus]] would be included in the Movie Monster series. Kawauchi also entertained a suggestion that the new [[Titanosaurus]] figure should be paired with a [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]] figure. By the end of 2002, Bandai added both Mechagodzilla 1975 and Titanosaurus to the Movie Monster line-up, along with reissues of [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Moguera|G-Force Moguera]] with new paint schemes, as well as a re-scale of the [[Godzilla Junior]] figure from the [[The Godzilla Collection|standard 8-inch line]]. A "Clear Mechagodzilla" was produced as well.<br />

In 2003, Bandai added [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] to the Movie Monster line-up. It had been rumored for years that [[Toho]] was never proud of the 1970s version of [[Godzilla]] and would never allow Bandai to produce a figure of Godzilla from that time period. Bandai also reissued [[King Caesar]] with a new paint scheme as well.<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'' in 2003, Bandai re-sculpted the [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2003]] and [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla]] figures from the ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' toy line to match their appearances in ''Tokyo SOS'' Bandai also produced a [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago 2004]] and two [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Larva 2004]] figures. As with the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, all figures in the ''Tokyo SOS'' toy line are all 8-inch scale figures. Theater Exclusives for [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2004]], [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2004]] with weapons, the Mothra Imago 2004 and the female Mothra Larva 2004 were also produced, as well as an HMV Godzilla, a gray Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and an Ito-Yokado Mechagodzilla. The tags for the ''Tokyo SOS'' figures include a picture of Godzilla's head.<br />

==2004==<br />
To coincide with the release of [[Godzilla]]'s 50th anniversary film, ''[[Godzilla Final Wars]]'', in 2004, Bandai added [[FinalGoji|Godzilla 2005]], [[Anguirus|Anguirus 2005]], [[Rodan (Millennium)|Rodan 2005]], [[Xilien#Godzilla Final Wars|Xilien 2005]], [[Minilla|Minilla 2005]], [[Gigan|Gigan 2005]], [[Gigan#Modified Gigan|Modified Gigan]], [[Monster X]] and [[Monster X#Keizer Ghidorah|Keizer Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up. They also reissued the [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago]] from the ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'' toy line in translucent red vinyl under the name "Fire Mothra," reflecting her final attack in ''Godzilla Final Wars''. Unlike the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, only six figures are in the 8-inch scale (Godzilla 2005, Gigan 2005, Modified Gigan, Fire Mothra, Monster X and Keizer Ghidorah), the other figures are all part of the 6-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for Godzilla 2005, Anguirus 2005 and Rodan 2005 were also produced, as well as an Ito-Yokado Exclusive Godzilla 2005 figure and HMV Exclusive Godzilla 2005 and Anguirus 2005 figures. The tags for the ''Final Wars'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head. Originally, Bandai was planning to make figures of all the other monsters that appeared in ''Final Wars'', like [[King Caesar|King Caesar]], [[Ebirah|Ebirah]], and even [[Zilla]], but following the film's poor box office performance, Bandai decided to cut their losses and cease production on figures of any other monsters from the film.{{Citation needed}} [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]], [[Titanosaurus]], [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Godzilla Junior]] were also reissued from 2002's lineup; their size and paint schemes are no different than before. However, all four figures come with {{tt|single-sheet tags|meaning that they do not open and close}} with the Toho license sticker in silver sporting the 50th anniversary symbol and the year 2004.<br />

In 2005, [[Godzilla]], [[SpaceGodzilla]], [[King Ghidorah]], [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]], [[Destoroyah]], [[ShodaiGoji|Godzilla 1954]], [[Anguirus|Anguirus 2004]] and [[Rodan (Millennium)|Rodan 2004]] were reissued from the 2001 and 2004 line-ups with new paint schemes. [[FinalGoji|Godzilla 2004]], [[Gigan|Gigan 2004]], [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2003]] with the drill hand and [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago 2003]] were all scaled down into 6-inch figures and were all given new paint schemes as well. The tags that all the figures come with are different from the previous line-ups; the tags have pink borders on both sides, and the back shows a silhouette of the [[MireGoji|Millennium Godzilla]] in a fiery background.<br />

In 2006, Bandai added [[Hedorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up, as well as a reissue of [[SoshingekiGoji|Godzilla 1968]] from the [[Godzilla 50th Anniversary Memorial Box]] set with a new paint scheme. The tags for both figures are the same as the 2005 figures except the borders are purple instead of pink. Godzilla 1968's tag features a picture of [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1973]] from ''[[Godzilla vs. Megalon]]''.

However, [[Jet Jaguar]] was the only figure released in 2007, and was the last figure in the Movie Monster Series line until the reveal of [[GareGoji|Godzilla 2014]] and the [[MUTO|Winged MUTO]] from [[Legendary Pictures]]' ''[[Godzilla (2014 film)|Godzilla]]'' in 2014, as the [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultra Monster Series|{{tt|Ultraman Toyline|Ultra Monster Series}}]] became quite popular in the meantime. Variants of the Jet Jaguar figure representing [[Medical Jet Jaguar]] and [[Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar]] from ''[[Godzilla Island (series)|Godzilla Island]]'' were sold exclusively through ''Hyper Hobby''.<br />

<div>[[File:Bandai_Movie_Monster_Series.jpg|250px|right]]The '''Movie Monster Series''' {{Nihongo|ムービーモンスターシリーズ|Mūbī Monsutā Shirīzu}} is the third line of 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures by [[Bandai]]. The line began in [[2001]]. While primarily a ''Godzilla'' line, the Movie Monster Series occasionally features figures of monsters from other media, including the [[Heisei era|Heisei]] ''[[Gamera (franchise)|Gamera]]'' Trilogy and ''[[Shin Ultraman]]''.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==2001==<br />
The Movie Monster Series was launched in 2001, featuring reissues of 10 of the figures from the previous line, the [[Toho Kaiju Series]]. The figures were given a new vinyl color, different paint highlights (if not most giving resemblance to their film counterparts), and even a larger size difference when compared to the Toho Kaiju Series. The tags for the Movie Monster Series figures are completely different from the previous lines; the borders were removed with the pictures of each respective monsters taking up most of the front of the tag, and the back shows a picture of the head of one of the [[Godzilla]]s from the respective era where the monster originated ([[RadoGoji|Godzilla 1993]] for [[Heisei era|Heisei]] monsters, and [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] for [[Showa era|Showa]] monsters). Towards the end of 2001, Bandai released one more figure to the Movie Monster Series: [[MogeGoji|Burning Godzilla]].<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'' in 2001, Bandai added the movie's versions of [[GMKGoji|Godzilla]], [[Baragon|Baragon]], [[Mothra (GMK)|Mothra]] and [[King Ghidorah (Millennium)|King Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up, but unlike the other figures in the line, they are not a part of the 6-inch scale. Instead, they are all part of the 8-inch scale, making this the only line of primarily 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures to also produce 8-inch figures. Theater exclusives for all four figures were made, as well as an event-exclusive Clear Version Godzilla, a ''Hyper Hobby'' exclusive translucent glitter Godzilla, and an orange translucent Baragon. The tags for the ''GMK'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head.<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' in 2002, Bandai added [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2003]] and [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2003]], the latter both with and without weapons, to the Movie Monster line-up, and like the ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack|GMK]]'' figures, they were all part of the 8-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for both the Godzilla 2003 and Mechagodzilla 2003 with weapons figures were also produced, as well as a red Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and a Link Science exclusive Mechagodzilla.<br />

During the Asian Fantasy Film Festival in 2002, Bandai representative Yasumasa Kawauchi announced to guests during a panel discussion that there was a 50/50 chance that a 6-inch [[Titanosaurus]] would be included in the Movie Monster series. Kawauchi also entertained a suggestion that the new [[Titanosaurus]] figure should be paired with a [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]] figure. By the end of 2002, Bandai added both Mechagodzilla 1975 and Titanosaurus to the Movie Monster line-up, along with reissues of [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Moguera|G-Force Moguera]] with new paint schemes, as well as a re-scale of the [[Godzilla Junior]] figure from the [[The Godzilla Collection|standard 8-inch line]]. A "Clear Mechagodzilla" was produced as well.<br />

In 2003, Bandai added [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] to the Movie Monster line-up. It had been rumored for years that [[Toho]] was never proud of the 1970s version of [[Godzilla]] and would never allow Bandai to produce a figure of Godzilla from that time period. Bandai also reissued [[King Caesar]] with a new paint scheme as well.<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'' in 2003, Bandai re-sculpted the [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2003]] and [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla]] figures from the ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' toy line to match their appearances in ''Tokyo SOS'' Bandai also produced a [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago 2004]] and two [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Larva 2004]] figures. As with the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, all figures in the ''Tokyo SOS'' toy line are all 8-inch scale figures. Theater Exclusives for [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2004]], [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2004]] with weapons, the Mothra Imago 2004 and the female Mothra Larva 2004 were also produced, as well as an HMV Godzilla, a gray Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and an Ito-Yokado Mechagodzilla.

==2004==<br />
To coincide with the release of [[Godzilla]]'s 50th anniversary film, ''[[Godzilla Final Wars]]'', in 2004, Bandai added [[FinalGoji|Godzilla 2005]], [[Anguirus|Anguirus 2005]], [[Rodan (Millennium)|Rodan 2005]], [[Xilien#Godzilla Final Wars|Xilien 2005]], [[Minilla|Minilla 2005]], [[Gigan|Gigan 2005]], [[Gigan#Modified Gigan|Modified Gigan]], [[Monster X]] and [[Monster X#Keizer Ghidorah|Keizer Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up. They also reissued the [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago]] from the ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'' toy line in translucent red vinyl under the name "Fire Mothra," reflecting her final attack in ''Godzilla Final Wars''. Unlike the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, only six figures are in the 8-inch scale (Godzilla 2005, Gigan 2005, Modified Gigan, Fire Mothra, Monster X and Keizer Ghidorah), the other figures are all part of the 6-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for Godzilla 2005, Anguirus 2005 and Rodan 2005 were also produced, as well as an Ito-Yokado Exclusive Godzilla 2005 figure and HMV Exclusive Godzilla 2005 and Anguirus 2005 figures. The tags for the ''Final Wars'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head. Originally, Bandai was planning to make figures of all the other monsters that appeared in ''Final Wars'', like [[King Caesar|King Caesar]], [[Ebirah|Ebirah]], and even [[Zilla]], but following the film's poor box office performance, Bandai decided to cut their losses and cease production on figures of any other monsters from the film.{{Citation needed}} [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]], [[Titanosaurus]], [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Godzilla Junior]] were also reissued from 2002's lineup; their size and paint schemes are no different than before. However, all four figures come with {{tt|single-sheet tags|meaning that they do not open and close}} with the Toho license sticker in silver sporting the 50th anniversary symbol and the year 2004.<br />

<div>[[File:Bandai_Movie_Monster_Series.jpg|250px|right]]The '''Movie Monster Series''' {{Nihongo|ムービーモンスターシリーズ|Mūbī Monsutā Shirīzu}} is the third line of 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures by [[Bandai]]. The line began in [[2001]]. While primarily a ''Godzilla'' line, the Movie Monster Series occasionally features figures of monsters from other media, including the [[Heisei era|Heisei]] ''[[Gamera (franchise)|Gamera]]'' Trilogy and ''[[Shin Ultraman]]''.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==2001==<br />
The Movie Monster Series was launched in 2001, featuring reissues of 10 of the figures from the previous line, the [[Toho Kaiju Series]]. The figures were given a new vinyl color, different paint highlights (if not most giving resemblance to their film counterparts), and even a larger size difference when compared to the Toho Kaiju Series. The tags for the Movie Monster Series figures are completely different from the previous lines; the borders were removed with the pictures of each respective monsters taking up most of the front of the tag, and the back shows a picture of the head of one of the [[Godzilla]]s from the respective era where the monster originated ([[RadoGoji|Godzilla 1993]] for [[Heisei era|Heisei]] monsters, and [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] for [[Showa era|Showa]] monsters). Towards the end of 2001, Bandai released one more figure to the Movie Monster Series: [[MogeGoji|Burning Godzilla]].<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'' in 2001, Bandai added the movie's versions of [[GMKGoji|Godzilla]], [[Baragon|Baragon]], [[Mothra (GMK)|Mothra]] and [[King Ghidorah (Millennium)|King Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up, but unlike the other figures in the line, they are not a part of the 6-inch scale. Instead, they are all part of the 8-inch scale, making this the only line of primarily 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures to also produce 8-inch figures. Theater exclusives for all four figures were made, as well as an event-exclusive Clear Version Godzilla, a ''Hyper Hobby'' exclusive translucent glitter Godzilla, and an orange translucent Baragon. The tags for the ''GMK'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head.<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' in 2002, Bandai added [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2003]] and [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2003]], the latter both with and without weapons, to the Movie Monster line-up, and like the ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack|GMK]]'' figures, they were all part of the 8-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for both the Godzilla 2003 and Mechagodzilla 2003 with weapons figures were also produced, as well as a red Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and a Link Science exclusive Mechagodzilla.<br />

During the Asian Fantasy Film Festival in 2002, Bandai representative Yasumasa Kawauchi announced to guests during a panel discussion that there was a 50/50 chance that a 6-inch [[Titanosaurus]] would be included in the Movie Monster series. Kawauchi also entertained a suggestion that the new [[Titanosaurus]] figure should be paired with a [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]] figure. By the end of 2002, Bandai added both Mechagodzilla 1975 and Titanosaurus to the Movie Monster line-up, along with reissues of [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Moguera|G-Force Moguera]] with new paint schemes, as well as a re-scale of the [[Godzilla Junior]] figure from the [[The Godzilla Collection|standard 8-inch line]]. A "Clear Mechagodzilla" was produced as well.<br />

In 2003, Bandai added [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] to the Movie Monster line-up. It had been rumored for years that [[Toho]] was never proud of the 1970s version of [[Godzilla]] and would never allow Bandai to produce a figure of Godzilla from that time period. Bandai also reissued [[King Caesar]] with a new paint scheme as well.<br />

As with the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, all figures in the ''Tokyo SOS'' toy line are all 8-inch scale figures. Theater Exclusives for [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2004]], [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2004]] with weapons, the Mothra Imago 2004 and the female Mothra Larva 2004 were also produced, as well as an HMV Godzilla, a gray Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and an Ito-Yokado Mechagodzilla.

To coincide with the release of [[Godzilla]]'s 50th anniversary film, ''[[Godzilla Final Wars]]'', in 2004, Bandai added [[FinalGoji|Godzilla 2005]], [[Anguirus|Anguirus 2005]], [[Rodan (Millennium)|Rodan 2005]], [[Xilien#Godzilla Final Wars|Xilien 2005]], [[Minilla|Minilla 2005]], [[Gigan|Gigan 2005]], [[Gigan#Modified Gigan|Modified Gigan]], [[Monster X]] and [[Monster X#Keizer Ghidorah|Keizer Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up. They also reissued the [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago]] from the ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'' toy line in translucent red vinyl under the name "Fire Mothra," reflecting her final attack in ''Godzilla Final Wars''. Unlike the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, only six figures are in the 8-inch scale (Godzilla 2005, Gigan 2005, Modified Gigan, Fire Mothra, Monster X and Keizer Ghidorah), the other figures are all part of the 6-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for Godzilla 2005, Anguirus 2005 and Rodan 2005 were also produced, as well as an Ito-Yokado Exclusive Godzilla 2005 figure and HMV Exclusive Godzilla 2005 and Anguirus 2005 figures. The tags for the ''Final Wars'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head. Originally, Bandai was planning to make figures of all the other monsters that appeared in ''Final Wars'', like [[King Caesar|King Caesar]], [[Ebirah|Ebirah]], and even [[Zilla]], but following the film's poor box office performance, Bandai decided to cut their losses and cease production on figures of any other monsters from the film.{{Citation needed}} [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]], [[Titanosaurus]], [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Godzilla Junior]] were also reissued from 2002's lineup; their size and paint schemes are no different than before. However, all four figures come with {{tt|single-sheet tags|meaning that they do not open and close}} with the Toho license sticker in silver sporting the 50th anniversary symbol and the year 2004.<br />

<div>[[File:Bandai_Movie_Monster_Series.jpg|250px|right]]The '''Movie Monster Series''' {{Nihongo|ムービーモンスターシリーズ|Mūbī Monsutā Shirīzu}} is the third line of 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures by [[Bandai]]. The line began in [[2001]]. While primarily a ''Godzilla'' line, the Movie Monster Series occasionally features figures of monsters from other media, including the [[Heisei era|Heisei]] ''[[Gamera (franchise)|Gamera]]'' Trilogy and ''[[Shin Ultraman]]''.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==2001==<br />
The Movie Monster Series was launched in 2001, featuring reissues of 10 of the figures from the previous line, the [[Toho Kaiju Series]]. The figures were given a new vinyl color, different paint highlights (if not most giving resemblance to their film counterparts), and even a larger size difference when compared to the Toho Kaiju Series. The tags for the Movie Monster Series figures are completely different from the previous lines; the borders were removed with the pictures of each respective monsters taking up most of the front of the tag, and the back shows a picture of the head of one of the [[Godzilla]]s from the respective era where the monster originated ([[RadoGoji|Godzilla 1993]] for [[Heisei era|Heisei]] monsters, and [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] for [[Showa era|Showa]] monsters). Towards the end of 2001, Bandai released one more figure to the Movie Monster Series: [[MogeGoji|Burning Godzilla]].<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'' in 2001, Bandai added the movie's versions of [[GMKGoji|Godzilla]], [[Baragon|Baragon]], [[Mothra (GMK)|Mothra]] and [[King Ghidorah (Millennium)|King Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up, but unlike the other figures in the line, they are not a part of the 6-inch scale. Instead, they are all part of the 8-inch scale, making this the only line of primarily 6-inch ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' figures to also produce 8-inch figures. Theater exclusives for all four figures were made, as well as an event-exclusive Clear Version Godzilla, a ''Hyper Hobby'' exclusive translucent glitter Godzilla, and an orange translucent Baragon. The tags for the ''GMK'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head.<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' in 2002, Bandai added [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2003]] and [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2003]], the latter both with and without weapons, to the Movie Monster line-up, and like the ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack|GMK]]'' figures, they were all part of the 8-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for both the Godzilla 2003 and Mechagodzilla 2003 with weapons figures were also produced, as well as a red Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and a Link Science exclusive Mechagodzilla.<br />

During the Asian Fantasy Film Festival in 2002, Bandai representative Yasumasa Kawauchi announced to guests during a panel discussion that there was a 50/50 chance that a 6-inch [[Titanosaurus]] would be included in the Movie Monster series. Kawauchi also entertained a suggestion that the new [[Titanosaurus]] figure should be paired with a [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]] figure. By the end of 2002, Bandai added both Mechagodzilla 1975 and Titanosaurus to the Movie Monster line-up, along with reissues of [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Moguera|G-Force Moguera]] with new paint schemes, as well as a re-scale of the [[Godzilla Junior]] figure from the [[The Godzilla Collection|standard 8-inch line]]. A "Clear Mechagodzilla" was produced as well.<br />

In 2003, Bandai added [[MegaroGoji|Godzilla 1974]] to the Movie Monster line-up. It had been rumored for years that [[Toho]] was never proud of the 1970s version of [[Godzilla]] and would never allow Bandai to produce a figure of Godzilla from that time period. Bandai also reissued [[King Caesar]] with a new paint scheme as well.<br />

To coincide with the release of ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'' in 2003, Bandai re-sculpted the [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2003]] and [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla]] figures from the ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]'' toy line to match their appearances in ''Tokyo SOS'' Bandai also produced a [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago 2004]] and two [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Larva 2004]] figures. As with the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, all figures in the ''Tokyo SOS'' toy line are all 8-inch scale figures. Theater Exclusives for [[KiryuGoji|Godzilla 2004]], [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 2004]] with weapons, the Mothra Imago 2004 and the female Mothra Larva 2004 were also produced, as well as an HMV Godzilla, a gray Ito-Yokado exclusive Godzilla and an Ito-Yokado Mechagodzilla.

To coincide with the release of [[Godzilla]]'s 50th anniversary film, ''[[Godzilla Final Wars]]'', in 2004, Bandai added [[FinalGoji|Godzilla 2005]], [[Anguirus|Anguirus 2005]], [[Rodan (Millennium)|Rodan 2005]], [[Xilien#Godzilla Final Wars|Xilien 2005]], [[Minilla|Minilla 2005]], [[Gigan|Gigan 2005]], [[Gigan#Modified Gigan|Modified Gigan]], [[Monster X]] and [[Monster X#Keizer Ghidorah|Keizer Ghidorah]] to the Movie Monster line-up. They also reissued the [[Mothra (Godzilla: Tokyo SOS)|Mothra Imago]] from the ''[[Godzilla: Tokyo SOS]]'' toy line in translucent red vinyl under the name "Fire Mothra," reflecting her final attack in ''Godzilla Final Wars''. Unlike the other [[Millennium era|Millennium]] figures, only six figures are in the 8-inch scale (Godzilla 2005, Gigan 2005, Modified Gigan, Fire Mothra, Monster X and Keizer Ghidorah), the other figures are all part of the 6-inch scale. Theater Exclusives for Godzilla 2005, Anguirus 2005 and Rodan 2005 were also produced, as well as an Ito-Yokado Exclusive Godzilla 2005 figure and HMV Exclusive Godzilla 2005 and Anguirus 2005 figures. The tags for the ''Final Wars'' figures feature a picture of Godzilla's head. Originally, Bandai was planning to make figures of all the other monsters that appeared in ''Final Wars'', like [[King Caesar|King Caesar]], [[Ebirah|Ebirah]], and even [[Zilla]], but following the film's poor box office performance, Bandai decided to cut their losses and cease production on figures of any other monsters from the film.{{Citation needed}} [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla 1975]], [[Titanosaurus]], [[Rodan (Heisei)#Fire Rodan|Fire Rodan]] and [[Godzilla Junior]] were also reissued from 2002's lineup; their size and paint schemes are no different than before. However, all four figures come with {{tt|single-sheet tags|meaning that they do not open and close}} with the Toho license sticker in silver sporting the 50th anniversary symbol and the year 2004.<br />

Variants of the Jet Jaguar figure representing [[Medical Jet Jaguar]] and [[Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar]] from ''[[Godzilla Island (series)|Godzilla Island]]'' were sold exclusively through ''Hyper Hobby''.<br />

'''"A Space Godzilla"''' is an illustrated short story that was published in two parts in the February and April issues of the Japanese edition of ''[[wikipedia:Starlog|Starlog]]'' magazine in [[1979]]. It is based on an idea for a new [[Godzilla (franchise)|''Godzilla'' film]] that was proposed to [[Toho]], but never produced.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In Arizona, strange signals are detected coming from a dark nebula. Meanwhile, [[Godzilla]] washes up on the shores of [[Japan]], dying of diabetes. Scientists are able to examine the monster's organs, including its brain, and after an attempt to communicate with the brain psychically it is discovered that Godzilla is actually an intelligent alien creature named [[Rozan]], from the Godzilla Planet, located in the region where the strange dark nebula signals originated, and is pregnant with a child. Against the protests of the victims of Rozan's rampages, the monster's body is transformed into a rocket in order to send her and her unborn child back to their home planet.<br />
<br />
Once there, Rozan and her child [[Lilin]] are reunited with their husband/father [[Kunin]]. The Godzilla Planet comes under attack from an alien race known as the Sunerians, a species of half-human looking creatures. Kunin and the now grown-up Lilin combat the Sunerian's general, [[Gamoni]], in order to defend the planet, eventually emerging victorious.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*This story has no relation to the [[1994]] film, ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]''.<br />
*The story was originally created with the intent of being the 16th Godzilla film, for a possible 1979 release. After the idea was discarded by [[Toho]], it was published in ''Starlog'' magazine, with Toho's approval.<br />
*In the first part of the story, the credits are listed as if it was a feature film, giving a glimpse at how a possible ''A Space Godzilla'' film would have been staffed. It includes:<br />
**Screenplay credit by Sakio Hirata, who is also credited as the writer of the serialized version.<br />
**Director of Photography Yoshitaki Sakamoto.<br />
**Special Effects by Tatsuo Shimamura. Despite this, [[Teruyoshi Nakano]] would have more than likely directed the special effects as he had done for the past five Godzilla films and would do for the [[The Return of Godzilla|next one]].<br />
**Model Animation by Masaaki Mori, a credit giving a nod to the plan to incorporate stop motion effects into the film.<br />
**Music by [[wikipedia:Godiego|GODEIGO]], a Japanese rock band.<br />
**Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. Interestingly, the proposed crew is almost identical to that of Obayashi's previous film, ''[[wikipedia:House (1977 film)|House]]'', including director of special effects Yoshitaki Sakamoto and music by GODIEGO.<br />
*[[wikipedia:Katsuhiro Otomo|Katsuhiro Otomo]] already had an established career as a comic artist before illustrating this story, but he would find international fame after directing the Toho-produced animated film ''[[wikipedia:Akira (film)|AKIRA]]'', which is credited with popularizing adult Japanese animation or "''anime''" in the western world.<br />
*The idea of [[Godzilla]] being an alien is one of at least two proposed alternate origins for Godzilla during the late 1970's, both of which were intended to be the basis of the 16th Godzilla film, and both of which were planned to be published in print. However, while "A Space Godzilla" did eventually get published, ''Super Godzilla: God's Angry Messenger'', a novel based on the proposed film ''Gods of Godzilla'', never did. However, the idea that Godzilla was actually created by an ancient alien race later resurfaced in other stories intended for a feature film, while the notion of Godzilla being an alien was completely abandoned after "A Space Godzilla."<br />

'''Playmates Toys''' is a [[Hong Kong]]-based company responsible for producing children's toys based on various media properties such as ''Ben 10'', the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', [[King Kong (franchise)|''King Kong'']], and ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]''. It also produced the toy line for the [[2021]] film ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]'', and continues to produce figures from [[Legendary Pictures]]' [[MonsterVerse]].<br />

==''Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World'' (2005)==<br />
[[File:Playmates Kong The 8th Wonder of the World.jpg|right|200px]]<br />
In [[2005]], Playmates released a line of toys to tie in with Peter Jackson's ''[[King Kong (2005 film)|King Kong]]''. It consisted of several different kinds of figures.<br />
===6-inch figures===<br />
The 6-inch figures in the line generally come in sets of one or two, along with several smaller human figures. The [[King Kong (Universal)|King Kong]] figures each have some sort of gimmick that distinguishes them from the others or allows them to interact with another specific figure. For example, the Kong that comes with the juvenile ''[[Vastatosaurus rex]]'' has the ability to pull apart the ''V-rex''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s jaws, while the Kong sold with the ''[[Piranhadon]]'' can hold the ''Piranhadon'' in a headlock.<br />
<br />
The six-inch scale figure sets are:<br />
*[[King Kong (Universal)|Kong]] vs ''[[Venatosaurus]]''<br />
*Kong vs Juvenile ''[[Vastatosaurus rex|V-Rex]]'' (includes [[Ann Darrow]])<br />
*Kong vs ''[[Piranhadon]]''<br />
*Kong vs ''[[Terapusmordax]]'' (includes three ''Terapusmordax'')<br />
*''[[Foetodon]]'' (includes five humans)<br />
*''Vastatosaurus rex'' (includes [[Weta-rex]] and three humans)<br />
*Creatures of [[Skull Island]] (includes three humans)<br />
*Gripping Kong (includes Ann Darrow and Weta-rex)<br />

====Skull Island playset====<br />
The [[Skull Island]] playset is designed for use with the 6-inch scale figures. It consists of several pieces, and includes several human figures and a raft.<br />

===Large-scale figures===<br />
There are three larger-scale figures released in the line. These figures are 12 inches tall and can make sounds. Despite being larger in scale, these figures come with the same human figures included with the six-inch figures. The Bull ''[[Vastatosaurus rex|V-Rex]]'' figure can actually swallow the human figures whole, which can then be recovered from a hatch on the underside of the figure.<br />
*Roaring [[King Kong (Universal)|Kong]] (includes three humans)<br />
*Supreme [[King Kong (Universal)|Kong]]<br />
*Roaring Bull ''[[Vastatosaurus rex|V-Rex]]'' (includes three humans)<br />

===Plushes===<br />

===Costumes===<br />
There are two separate [[King Kong (Universal)|King Kong]] costume sets: Electronic Kong Arms and Kong Face and Chains. The Kong arms are oversized gloves made to resemble Kong's hands that function similar to the popular "[[wikipedia:Hulk Hands|Hulk Hands]]" gloves, making sounds when they strike an object. The Kong Face and Chains consist of a King Kong mask and breakaway plastic chains.<br />

===Kong vs ''V-Rex'' Battling Game===<br />
A variation of the classic "[[wikipedia:Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots|Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots]]" game, the [[King Kong (Universal)|Kong]] vs ''[[Vastatosaurus rex|V-Rex]]'' battling game includes a Kong and ''V-Rex'' piece, each on a base attached to a control stick. The players use the stick to make the figures punch each other until one collapses.<br />

==''Godzilla'' and ''Kong'' (2019-2022)==<br />
[[File:Playmates Godzilla and Kong.jpg|right|200px]]<br />
Playmates unveiled figures of a 12-inch [[FinalGoji|Godzilla (2004)]] and [[King Kong (MonsterVerse)|Kong]] from ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]'', along with [[ShinGoji|Godzilla (2016)]], [[SpaceGodzilla]], and [[Destoroyah]] in the 6.5-inch scale, at Brand Licensing Europe 2019. Beginning in December 2019, the company released a Walmart-exclusive line of figures of monsters from both the ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' and ''[[King Kong (franchise)|King Kong]]'' series in anticipation of the release of ''[[Godzilla vs. Kong]]''. The previously-revealed figures were joined by a 6.5-inch Kong, [[Gigan]] (2004), and [[FinalGoji|Godzilla (2004)]]. Reissues of five [[Bandai America]] vinyl figures in Playmates packaging also began to appear in 2020: [[ShodaiGoji|Godzilla (1954)]], [[King Ghidorah (Millennium)|King Ghidorah (2001)]], [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla (1974)]], [[MireGoji|Godzilla (1999)]], and [[SoshingekiGoji|Godzilla (1968)]]. In an interview with [[Toho Kingdom]], Vice President of Marketing John Stelzner revealed that the company would be releasing soft vinyl 6.5-inch figures of [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Burning Godzilla]] and [[Jet Jaguar]] in spring 2021, followed by "a few new monsters" and another 12-inch Godzilla figure in the fall.<ref name="TK">{{cite web|url=https://www.tohokingdom.com/blog/interview-john-stelzner-playmates-toys/|title=Interview: John Stelzner [Playmates Toys]|author=Mirjahangir, Chris|date=13 November 2020|work=Toho Kingdom}}</ref> The line became available to other retailers, such as Target, in April.<ref name="TK"/> In August 2021, [[Rodan (Showa)|Rodan (1956)]] and [[Gorosaurus|Gorosaurus (1968)]] figures were unveiled on Target's website.<ref>[https://www.target.com/p/godzilla-6-5-34-classic-rodan-figure/-/A-81875667 Target.com - Godzilla 6.5" Classic Rodan Figure]</ref><ref>[https://www.target.com/p/godzilla-6-5-34-classic-gorosaurus-figure/-/A-81875671 Target.com - Godzilla 6.5" Classic Gorosaurus Figure]</ref><br />

==Experiences==<br />
===Kaiju Universe===<br />
The Roblox community has created several Godzilla experiences (games), with the most significant being Kaiju Universe by Prometeo Games. The experience has many Godzilla monsters and some original fan-made ones. The gameplay is mostly about destroying buildings and fighting other players in order to earn more G-Cells, which are used to buy more kaiju, but there are some kaiju that can be bought using Robux exclusively. Leveling up the monsters by destroying buildings and fighting players gives the player skill points, which are used for increasing health, speed, regeneration, and damage of a kaiju. The map consists of Florida, [[Tokyo]], Prometeia City, [[Baas Island|Birth Island]], [[Isla de Mara]], the Arctic, the Mariana Trench, and [[Skull Island]], which is named "Skull Island ([[Monster Island]])."--><br />

The gameplay is mostly about destroying buildings and fighting other players in order to earn more G-Cells, which are used to buy more kaiju, but there are some kaiju that can be bought using Robux exclusively. Leveling up the monsters by destroying buildings and fighting players gives the player skill points, which are used for increasing health, speed, regeneration, and damage of a kaiju. The map consists of Florida, [[Tokyo]], Prometeia City, [[Baas Island|Birth Island]], [[Isla de Mara]], the Arctic, the Mariana Trench, and [[Skull Island]], which is named "Skull Island ([[Monster Island]])."--><br />
