Short description
Reporter Goro Maki stumbles upon scientists conducting weather experiments on Sollgel Island in the South Seas. He discovers the island is inhabited by giant mantis and a woman named Saeko who's been cast away since the death of her father. The pair soon find a helpless infant monster that Godzilla must adopt and learn to raise as one of his own.
What's left behind the scenes
- In the American version of the film, Kamacuras is named "Himantus" (Gimantis), and Kumonga is named "Spiega".
- The very plot of the film was inspired by "Son of Kong" (1933), filmed 34 years earlier. The American film "Tarantula" (1955) also had a strong influence – the plot of "Son of Godzilla" has similar moments – the work of scientists causing the appearance of a giant spider, which is the main antagonist of the film. The giant mantis Kamacurus was taken from "The Deadly Mantis" (1957).
- In 1969, the film was released in the USA with minor changes.
- In Japan, 2,480,000 viewers watched the film in theaters.
- Actor Haruo Nakajima, who portrayed Godzilla in some scenes, also starred in "Escape from King Kong" (1967) that same year, where he played the role of King Kong.
- In this film, Minilla eats a fruit thrown to him, despite his father – Godzilla – being a clear predator.
