A true "monster rally," this Japanese special-effects smorgasbord stars no fewer than four "A"-list movie monstrosities. Once again, the citizens of Tokyo are subjected to an ill-tempered atomic mutant. This time it's the triple-headed
Ghidrah, who breathes electric volts in all directions. Coming to Tokyo's rescue is faithful old
Mothra, but
Ghidrah proves too much for the outsized insect, even with the ubiquitous "Peanuts" (
Emi and
Yumi Ito) acting as Mothra's cheerleaders. Fortunately,
Godzilla and
Rodan stop fighting each other to help
Mothra vanquish
Ghidrah. The climactic battle royal takes place high atop Mount Fuji (how do those monsters cast shadows on the sky like that?) Lots of fun,
Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster surprisingly yielded no immediate sequels.
