Note: The original movie is "Gojira", directed only by Inoshiro Honda and released in Japan in 1954. The american version is the same movie with additionat feature (new scenes) directed by Terry Morse with actor Raymond Burr. The american version's title is "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" and it was released in the States in 1956. Japan is thrown into a panic after several ships explode and are sunk. At first the authorities think its either underwater mines or underwater volcanic activity. The authorities soon head to Odo Island, close to where several of the ships were sunk. One night, something comes onshore and destroys several houses and kills several people. A later expedition to the island led by paleontologist Professor Kyohei Yemani, his daughter Emiko and a young navy frogman Hideto Ogata (who alsohappens to be Emiko's lover even though she is betrothed to Doctor Daisuke Serizawa) soon discover something more devastating than imagined in the form of a 150 foot tall monster whom the natives call Gojira. Now the monster begins a rampage that threatens to destroy not only Japan, but the rest of the world as well. Can the monster be destroyed before it is too late and what role will the mysterious Serizawa play in the battle?
