Godzilla vs. the Space Monsters: Earth Defense Directive (ゴジラ対宇宙怪獣 地球防衛命令,   Gojira tai Uchū Kaijū: Chikyū Bōei Meirei) is an unmade 1972 Godzilla film.

History

Earth Defense Directive featured Godzilla, Anguirus and Majin Tuol fighting King Ghidorah, Gigan and a new monster named Megalon. The three evil monsters are controlled by an alien brain called Miko (ミコー,   Mikō). This script also had a theme park and the Godzilla Tower, which Gigan mistook for the real Godzilla in one scene. Megalon, Miko and Majin Tuol were scrapped, but Megalon would be retooled for Godzilla vs. Megalon.[1][2]
