Part of Godzilla vs. MoMI
Dir. Ishiro Honda. 1964, 93 mins. Japan. DCP. In Japanese with English subtitles. With Yosuke Natsuki, Yuriko Hoshi, Hiroshi Koizumi, Akiko Wakabayashi, Emi and Yumi Itō, Takashi Shimura, Haruo Nakajima. Though believed dead in an assassination attempt, a princess suddenly resurfaces prophesizing the advent of King Ghidorah, a towering terror from outer space looking to lay waste to Earth. While a detective is tasked with guarding her, Earth’s protection falls to the combined forces of Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, who make an epic final stand against the space demon. Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster is an electrifying debut for Godzilla’s most popular enemy and marks a turning point in the original cycle of Showa era Godzilla films that sees the King of the Monsters come to the aid of humanity for the very first time, beginning a transformation from atomic abomination to saurian superhero that would become synonymous with the character for decades.
