Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla
aka: Godzilla vs. the Bionic Monster / Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster
Director: Jun Fukuda, 1974
Cast: Masaaki Daimon, Kazuya Aoyama a. o.
Spelleologists finds a cave with hieroglyphs. It turns out to be a prophecy: "when a black
mountain appears i the sky a monster will destroy mankind". Well guess what. A black mountain
does appear in the sky and Godzilla turns up and crushes everything within reach. Then
another Godzilla appears and takes to battle the first one. The first Godzilla
turns out to be a robot, Mechagodzilla, made from "spacetitanium" by aliens
planning to take over the Earth.
The Aliens are disguised as humans but
under their fake skin they actually looks like they're from the planet of the
apes. Scientists manages to make out another prophecy. "when a red moon
appears and the sun rises in the west a statue of King Shisa (who according
to legend used to protect the azumipeople against all kinds of danger)
shall be placed in a certain position in a certain temple. Then two monsters
will rise and fight to try to save the planet.
The prophecy of course comes
true and the real King Shisa, a giant monster, awakens. At this time Mechagodzilla
turns up and attacks King Shisa. It doesn't look like he's gonna be able
to defeat Mechagodzilla but then Godzilla also turns up (remember the second
monster in the prophecy?). Together Godzilla and King Shisa takes on Mechagodzilla,
but will they be able to save the world?
