I don't really know why, but this is possibly my favorite of Godzilla's "super hero" days! Possibly it's due to the green space monkeys. Then again, it could be because of the "Where the Wild Things Are" reject that is King Seesar! Or, there's always the possibility that it's because of the lawn chair-fu! Don't see enough of that! Well, allow us to view the movie and see just why I like it, shall we? Well, it stars a bunch of Japanese guys I've never heard of and is directed and produced by a slew of other Japanese people I've never heard of! Anyway, it all starts with an Islander girl dancing around before having a vision that a monster will lay waste to Japan! Only thing is, her vision includes Ghidrah, who's not IN this movie! Oh well, bad editing mistake. Elsewhere, a newly discovered cave reveals an ancient monarchy's prophecy about black mountains rising above the clouds, the red moon setting and the sun rising in the west, and a monster arriving to destroy the world! There's also something about 2 other monsters arriving to battle the world destroyer, but that's not important. Meanwhile, a guy discovers a piece of what is later called "Space Titanium" in another cave somewhere near Mt. Fuji . Godzilla has also recently emerged from Mt. Fuji, though I'd have to say his screech was higher pitched than normal (perhaps Ghidrah was hittin' below the belt in their last fight)! Angorus also shows up, but starts making shit with his supposed amigo Godzilla! G doesn't take shit from his bitches, so he shows just why he's the King of the Monsters when he kicks Angy's ass and breaks his jaw (from which orange goo spills forth)! Angy is sent packing, though he did manage to tack a chunk out of G's all too shiny shoulder... hmmm, could this Godzilla be an impostor? If you need me to tell you this, then I suggest you go back to 2nd grade and hope the janitor doesn't molest you again. So, this shiny Godzilla goes on a rampage through the warehouse district, going about his merry way, when up pops a second Godzilla! Must be one of the old suits gained sentience! Yeah, well, this new G is of course the original, and they both tussle. The first one finally decides to shed his sheep's clothing, revealing his true space titanium hide, then proceeding to reign down a tsunami o' whoop-ass, leaving G man a bloody pulp before flying off for repairs! Then, we FF>> through the usual side story of assassins, aliens (from the Planet of the Green Apes), sabotage, archeological discoveries, ancient prophecies, a steam room gone bad, and a dash of kung-fu (which includes the aforementioned "lawn chair-fu"!). Now, we get to more rubber monster stuff, as the Azume Clan's guardian King Seesar (sometimes called King Seesar or King Seesar, or KS to his pals) awakens from his archipelago resting place! KS looks kinda like a giant mutant Shar-pei (you know, those ugly dogs) on crack! Well, KS tries to take on MechaG alone, but winds up getting a major league ass-kicking for a few rounds! Lucky for him, Godzilla shows up looking for revenge after the mud hole MechaG's arsenal stomped into him earlier (which he recovered from, thanx to some stray, yet convenient, lightning bolts). The heroes go two-on-one on the space titanium doppleganger, and not even the force-field he projects from his nose (no lie!) is enough to stop KS and the new "Super Magnetized Godzilla" (not coming to a Toys 'B' We near you)! Though his full body arsenal does manage to delay the inevitable, the two heroes still twist off MechaG's tin plated head and prove that space simian technology is no match for the mistakes of man! Well, it ends as Godzilla wanders back into the Ocean and KS buries himself back into his little mountain island lair. I still can't figure out why I like this movie more than most other Godzilla movies, but just remember kiddies, when in doubt, build an evil android duplicate! Why? Go ask your mother...
