aka Gojira no gyakushû. Counterattack of the Monsters. Fire Monster. Gigantis. Gigantis the Fire Monster. Godzilla's Counter Attack. Gojira Strikes Again. Gojira's Counterattack. The Return of Godzilla. The Volcano Monster. Two pilots land on an island and discover a pair of monsters fighting. One looks like Godzilla, whilst the other is a giant spiked turtle, an Anguillosaurus. Soon the monsters are on the move towards Japan. Can the authorities prevent these two from destroying Osaka?
Following the success of Godzilla, a second film was inevitable. So a year later we have the resurrection of the monster and he's brought a friend! This one though moves from the almost social realism of the original. Removing the human suffering angle, replaced by an indomitable spirit to pull through. It also moves away from the scientist as savior, giving the little guy a chance, in this case the pilots. A worthy follow-up. Though not quite as good as the original, this still provides great entertainment.
