Restored Original Version!
In this ground-zero exemplar, Godzilla is back in full-force without Raymond Burr announcing the play-by-play. Awakened from the deep by A-bomb tests, the prehistoric monster rises to the occasion, packing radioactive breath, an impenetrable hide, and a roar like a ten-megadecibel sub-woofer. The assembled might of Japan’s military can do nothing to impede the progress of this nuisance from the nuclear age. The waterborne pest avoids Fukushima and heads straight for Tokyo while scientists, played by Akira Takarada and Akihiko Hirata, develop the next-gen WMD. Japan’s king of the kaiju never dies—more than two dozen sequels have honored that bad-rep reptile.
• Written by Honda, Takeo Murata. Photographed by Masao Tamai. With Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura. (98 mins, in Japanese with English subtitles, DCP, B&W, From Rialto Pictures)
