Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

Godzilla's nuclear core has gone into an uncontrolled chain reaction, turning him into a walking bomb that could detonate at any moment and take Japan with him. After something destroys Birth Island, the home he shared with his son, the burning monster surfaces in Hong Kong. As the G-Force weighs ways to stop him, including a freezing plan, crustacean-like creatures begin appearing in Tokyo, seemingly tied to the Oxygen Destroyer, the weapon that killed the first Godzilla decades earlier. The two threats converge, leaving humans caught between a monster they cannot save and one they cannot stop.

Takao Okawara directed the film, his third Godzilla entry after Godzilla vs. Mothra in 1992 and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II in 1993. Kazuki Ōmori wrote the screenplay, and Shogo Tomiyama produced for Toho. The cast includes Takuro Tatsumi as Dr. Kensaku Ijuin, Yoko Ishino as Yukari Yamane, Yasufumi Hayashi as Kenichi Yamane, Megumi Odaka as Miki Saegusa, Sayaka Osawa as Meru Ozawa and Saburo Shinoda as Professor Fukazawa.

Made on a budget of about 10 million dollars, the film took roughly 18 million dollars worldwide. It holds a 6.9 rating from around 8,500 votes on IMDb, while on TMDB it stands at 7.8 from 314 votes, a notably warmer response from that audience.
