"The year is 1999... spacecrafts leave for the moon on a daily schedule". Yeah right, and dragons and other monsters roam the countryside and we're contacted by spacemen from a small planet nestled between Mars and Jupiter.... okay, so all that stuff's happening too! But ONLY in this movie (and about the 7000 other post apocalypse movies from the 70's and 80's!). Anyway, the world's monster populace all live at Monster Land (later renamed "Monster Island") so that "the Man" can oppress them and study them in the name of science. The monsters can't leave because they're held in by a magnetic field and walls of noxious gas (a.k.a. Godzilla Farts). But, one day, the entire island and laboratory are gassed and it's not long before the rubber beasties start popping up and wreaking havoc at all corners of the globe (which is odd, since globes don't have corners...)! Godzilla stomps NYC! Rodan dive bombs Moscow! Gorosaurus (who they refer to as Baragon for some reason) tunnels up Paris! And so forth... though oddly enough, Tokyo is left unscathed! That's a first. Turns out Monster Land's employees and tenants have been taken over by HOT Asian babes from the planet Key Lime (or a reasonable facsimile there of)! Meanwhile, an Earth spaceship (piloted by guys who look like big twinkies or bannana flavored condoms with faces) spots an alien craft on the dark side of the moon (please, no Pink Floyd jokes). But, the UN Space Strikeforce (consisting entirely of Japs) returns to Earth to liberate the Monster Land scientists. Well, they liberate the chief.... right to his death! And, after a little autopsy, we find the alien chicks are controlling the scientists and the big uglies via neck implants. Speaking of the big uglies, they converge on Tokyo now, stomping it into the ground! That's what happens when you look a gift horse in the mouth Tokyo. The strikeforce and their cheap little space tank destroy the Key Lime base set up on the moon, plundering the rubble and stopping the control waves used on the monsters. Using their own methods, the humans now take control of the beasts, sending them to clean out the infestation of sweet little Eastern alien broads based at Mt. Fuji and setting up for the biggest Pay-Per-View in Japan history! So, it's Godzilla, Minya, Mothra, Angilas, Manda, Baragon, Gorosaurus, Spiga, and Rodan against the Key Limians' last line of defense: Ghidrah... so it's one space monster against NINE of "our" guys? "Three-Headed-Monster" or not, it doesn't take a wrestling historian to tell ya Ghidrah's fucked! Needless to say (though I'm saying it anyway), Ghidrah gets gang raped, with even Minya getting in a shot! And Ghidrah's only back-up (a flaming Key Limian ship) gets taken down by the "UN" (remember, ALL Japanese) Space Strikeforce and their fancy ship as the good monsters turn the Mt. Fuji base to rubble. They then all go back to Monster Land to be poked and prodded like before... Man, these monsters need to form a Union or something! They take WAY too much shit considering THEY're the ones always saving the little Japs' asses from extraterrestrial anal probes! Anyway, yes, this flick was a fanboy's dream come true, but it only looks good on paper! I think they should've had all the monsters fighting each other! Woulda been a lot more interesting than one big 9-on-1. Also, I think Rodan was done VERY badly. It's bad enough the poor guy has NO real offense, but he looked like a plucked Big Bird! A drunken, plucked, Big Bird!!!!!!!

Sequels: Actually, the older series of Godzilla flicks never really connected with each other, so I guess they're technically not sequels...
