Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (Japanese: ゴジラvsキングギドラ, Hepburn: Gojira tai Kingu Gidora) is a 1991 Japanese kaiju film written and directed by Kazuki Ōmori and produced by Shōgo Tomiyama. Distributed by Toho and produced under their subsidiary Toho Pictures, it is the 18th film in the Godzilla franchise, and is the third film in the franchise's Heisei period. The film features the monster characters Godzilla and King Ghidorah, and stars Kōsuke Toyohara, Anna Nakagawa, Megumi Odaka, Katsuhiko Sasaki, Akiji Kobayashi, Yoshio Tsuchiya, and Robert Scott Field, with Kenpachiro Satsuma as Godzilla and Hurricane Ryu as Ghidorah and his cyborg form Mecha-King Ghidorah. The plot revolves around time-travelers from the future who convince Japan to travel back in time to prevent Godzilla's mutation, only to reveal their true motives by unleashing King Ghidorah onto the nation.
The production crew of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah remained largely unchanged from that of the previous film in the series, Godzilla vs. Biollante. Because the previous installment was a box office disappointment, due to a lack of child viewership and alleged competition with the Back to the Future franchise, the producers of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah were compelled to create a film with more fantasy elements, along with time travel.
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah was the first Godzilla film since 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla to feature a newly orchestrated score by Akira Ifukube. The film was released theatrically in Japan on December 14, 1991, and was followed by Godzilla vs. Mothra released on December 12, 1992. It was released direct-to-video in North America in 1998 by Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment. Despite mixed reviews from critics, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah was more financially successful at the box office than Godzilla vs. Biollante. The film attracted controversy outside Japan due to its perceived Japanese nationalist themes.
Two years after his battle with Biollante, Godzilla is still weakened from being infected by the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria (ANEB). Meanwhile, science fiction author Kenichiro Terasawa learns of a group of Japanese soldiers stationed on Lagos Island during the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign; where they were threatened by American forces, before being saved by a mysterious dinosaur, Godzillasaurus, which Terasawa theorizes to have mutated into the first Godzilla due to nuclear notes on the island.. Powerful businessman and veteran, Yasuaki Shindo, who commanded the Lagos Garrison, confirms Godzillasaurus' existence.
Soon, a UFO named MOTHER lands near Mount Fuji. When the JSDF investigates, MOTHER is revealed to be a time machine piloted by the Futurians — Wilson, Grenchiko, Emmy Kano, and the android M-11 — who explain that they are from the year 2204, claiming Godzilla has completely destroyed Japan. The Futurians plan to travel back to 1944 and remove Godzillasaurus from Lagos Island before the nuclear tests, preventing its mutation into Godzilla. To prove themselves, Emmy presents a copy of Terasawa's book, which he's yet to publish.
The Futurians, Terasawa, Miki Saegusa, and Professor Mazaki, travel back to 1944 to Lagos Island, where Japanese forces led by Shindo fight with attacking American forces. As per Shindo's story, Godzillasaurus fights off the Americans, but is mortally wounded by U.S. Navy. After Shindo and his men leave the island, M-11 has Godzillasaurus teleported from Lagos Island to the Bering Strait. Before departing, the Futurians secretly leave three genetic-engineered dragons called Dorats on Lagos Island, which are later irradiated by nuclear tests, mutating and merging into the three-headed dragon called King Ghidorah. Returning to 1992, the Futurians use Ghidorah to subjugate Japan and issue an ultimatum of surrender.
Becoming sympathetic for Japan's people, Emmy reveals to Terasawa the truth behind the Futurians' mission: in the 23rd century, Japan is an economic superpower surpassing the United States, Russia, and China, even buying out South America and Africa. The Futurians sought to change history and prevent this by creating Ghidorah and having him destroy present-day Japan; and planned to erase Godzilla from history to prevent him from threatening their plans. After M-11 brings Emmy back to MOTHER, she reprograms the android to help her.
Shindo plans to send his nuclear submarine to the Bering Strait and irradiate Godzillasaurus, and recreate Godzilla. However, Terasawa discovers that a Soviet nuclear submarine sank there in the 1970s, releasing enough radiation to mutate Godzillasaurus into the current Godzilla. Godzilla destroys Shindo's submarine and feeds on the radiation, consequently recovering from the ANEB and becoming larger. Godzilla arrives in Japan and faces Ghidorah. M-11 and Terasawa help Emmy sabotage MOTHER's control over Ghidorah, causing Ghidorah to lose focus, before Godzilla blasts off Ghidorah's middle head. After sending Ghidorah crashing into the Sea of Okhotsk, Godzilla destroys MOTHER, killing Wilson and Grenchiko.
