Quiz
This film was originally written to star King Kong, as Rankin/Bass Productions had provided Toho with the license to the character in order to produce a tie-in film for Toei's animated TV series King Kong (1966), which they co-produced. However, Rankin/Bass rejected the original treatment, as they wanted director Ishirô Honda to helm the film. Toho insisted on Jun Fukuda and after Rankin/Bass backed out, Toho decided to replace King Kong with Godzilla. Toho and Rankin/Bass would then go on to co-produce King Kong - Il gigante della foresta (1967), a film that was more in line with what Rankin/Bass wanted.

Blooper
At the end of the film, as Mothra flies back to Infant Island, the large net she is carrying with her feet with the humans inside it is missing.

Citazioni
Daiyo: Mothra... Awaken, hear us.

One of my favourite Godzilla films!

This is actually on of my favourite Godzilla films. While on one hand it has one of the worst enemy monsters, Ebira (although it also has Mothra, but he only appears at the end and doesn't really do anything) it also has a neat story. It's not as cool as the original, but I think it sure as hell beats the cheezy alien stories which are so ridiculous and unbelievable that even their cheeze value is threatened. As well, most Godzilla movies spend *way* too much time and focus on the monsters fighting and rampaging (Godzilla vs. Gigan is a perfect example of this), but this one had more of a plot. The takeover didn't seem as implausible and it was more tongue in cheek. It's also one of the best dub-jobs I've *ever* seen in a Godzilla movie (or any of the other similar ones).

Overall: this is one of the more fun Godzilla films. It's still silly, but in an enjoyable way. It's not ruined by being overly stupid and it's cheeze factor is definitely amusing. 6/10.
