Two Toho properties collide for the first time, as everyone's favorite fire-breathing reptile squares off against the overgrown moth with an attitude! We open as a big tsunami washes a giant, radioactive egg upon the Japanese shore. A greedy corporation (called, uggh, Happy Enterprises) wants to buy the omelette-to-be from the fishing town that claimed it, hoping to make lots o' cash by displaying it and charging people to take a peek... ooooooh, big egg, wow, I'm excited... A duo of foot tall Asian girls from Mothra Island appear to harass the business men, telling them to give back the egg, because it belongs to Mothra. The suits, of course, deny their requests, so the faeries resort to asking some reporters and a scientist for help, warning that, if the egg should hatch, the larvae inside will bust shit up in it's hunt for food. That, and Mothra wants it back, because she don't like to share. Godzilla pops out of a construction site and makes a beeline toward his morning omelette, doing his trademark "Godzilla Shuffle" across the landscape of the nearby town! You have to admit that Godzilla looks cooler when portrayed as a villain, though his upper lip flaps a little too much... Just to prove that the Japs aren't the only ineffective military in the world, the US Navy makes a cameo, humiliating themselves when they too can do nothing but Jack and Shit against Godzilla... and Jack just got evacuated in one of those terrified mobs! Anyway, our antagonist human trio goes to Mothra Island to beg for Mothra's help against G, and after alot of begging and whining and a little duet by the midget twins (it's probably the Japanese translation for "100 Bottles of Beer"), the big bug finally agrees. Back in Japan, with Godzilla looming on the horizon, the evil corporate owners turn on each other, ending their agreement when G brings half their hotel down on their heads. Godzilla finally makes his way to breakfast, but what he gets instead is a one-on-one with Mothra, and I'm surprised at how well Mothra holds her own against the big guy! But, even her mustard gas pollen isn't enough, as G lightly toasts Mothra. But in her death, Mothra's egg hatches and TWO Mothra larvae crawl from the broken shells. Wow! Twins! If Mothra weren't dead, I'm sure she'd be proud! Meanwhile, the military is still ineffective against Godzilla as always (though they do manage to set his head on fire!). Also, there's a group of teachers and their students trapped on an island, which has NO relevance to ANYTHING here! They should've had A*P*E come from Korea and save them, to make it even more obscure! HAHAHAHAHA! Now that I think of it, maybe they just added this scene to get tax breaks and extra money for making it an "educational" film.... Anyway, G and the Mothra larvaes have it out, ending when the little silk munchers encase Godzilla in silly string and those cotton cobweb Halloween decorations, and dump him in the ocean (seems ALOT of Godzilla flicks end with him getting dumped in the ocean) before swimming their way back to Mothra Island. This movie I liked, mainly because it's the last time we get to see the "evil" Godzilla, before he becomes "super hero" G. Also, it shows us the start of what becomes a long standing grudge between the giant lizard and the future incarnations of Mothra. As for the human characters, well, you just wanna smack that nitwit with the hard-boiled egg! Not because you hate him, but just because it'd be funny! Like when the Skipper would *wap* Gilligan with his hat. But the one business man, that Kumiyame guy, HE's the one you'd smack out of anger! Yeah, I'd like to smack that little Hitler moustache of his right off his fat annoying face! Take that Kumiyame! *SMACK!* In closing, let me say, "eggs can't walk, you know that!".

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