TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA

Special Features: 50th Anniversary | FREE for SCC members on August 17

[MEKAGOJIRA NO GYAKUSHŪ] [メカゴジラの逆襲]
In Godzilla’s last gasp of the Showa era, aliens retrieve Mechagodzilla’s remains and rebuild it with the aid of an unhinged biologist (a scenery-chewing Akihiko Hirata, who played Dr. Serizawa in the original GODZILLA), in hopes of defeating Godzilla for possession of planet Earth. This film marked the return of director Ishirō Honda, who had retired years earlier, disheartened by the increasingly kid-friendly approach of the series. For this final entry, Honda steers the King of the Monsters back into grim territory, interweaving an alien-invasion plot with a tale of tragic romance. (Note courtesy of Janus Films.) DIR Ishirō Honda; SCR Yukiko Takayama; PROD Tomoyuki Tanaka. Japan, 1975, color, 84 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. RATED G
