Part of Godzilla vs. MoMI
Dir. Koji Hashimoto. 1984, 103 mins. Japan. DCP. In Japanese with English subtitles. With Ken Tanaka, Keiju Kobayashi, Yasuko Sawaguchi, Shin Takuma, Yosuke Natsuki, Hiroshi Koizumi, Kenpachiro Satsuma. Thirty years after the kaiju’s first attack, a string of shocking disasters at sea signals the return of Godzilla. Though the Japanese government attempts to keep this a secret, the shocking news is soon revealed when the King of the Monsters makes devastating landfall in Japan. Nearly a decade after the end of the Showa era of films, Toho resurrected Godzilla for a new generation with a higher budget and a return to not only the character’s darker, destructive roots, but also the sociopolitical themes present in the earlier films. Recommended for ages 8+
