Editor's Note
GODZILLA 2000: Godzilla (Tsutomo Kitagawa) is back and this time he's trying to smash and destroy all of Japan's nuclear reactors and power plants. In this 23rd film in the cult series of monster movies that began in 1954, GODZILLA 2000 beckons the giant, indestructible lizard from his hiding place deep in the ocean. A local scientist (Takehiro Murata) who tries to decode the giant lizard's motives and predict where his next terrifying steps will land concludes that there must be a reason why Godzilla has emerged from the sea. However, when a 6,000-year-old meteor surfaces from the bottom of the ocean and turns into a spaceship, Godzilla--along with the entire population of Japan--is overwhelmed by chaos, crisis, and hysteria. Yuki (Naomi Nishidi), a local journalist trying to get a close-up shot of Godzilla, along with Shinoda (Takehiro Murata) and his kid daughter (Mayu Sizuki), form a guerilla research group called the GPN (Godzilla Prediction Network). They are the "good guys," making the CCI (Crisis Control Intelligence), headed up by a hilariously nihilistic Katagiri (Hiroshi Abe), the "bad guys." Takao Okawara's GODZILLA 2000 is perfectly consistent with its predecessors: the monsters are nasty and ferocious and they wipe out every skyscraper in Tokyo, literally leveling the city. The film brings back all the old tricks, with special effects akin to the Godzilla films of yore and plenty of monster mania. GODZILLA VS. DESTROYAH: Will Godzilla be the source of his own downfall? The atomic particles that give Godzilla his powers are on the verge of meltdown, and the evil oxygen-destroying monster Destroyah, Godzilla's most formidable opponent, has invaded the earth. Can he defeat Destroyah before he self-destructs? An excellent, introspective chapter in the Godzilla saga. GODZILLA VS. SPACE GODZILLA: When a devious Godzilla clone arrives from outerspace to ravage the earth, Godzilla, Junior Godzilla, and Mogera--a giant robot created to destroy Godzilla--must team up to protect their planet. All the while, a team of psychics attempt to control Godzilla telepathically, much to the annoyance of the radioactive lizard. GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA: This classic science fiction epic pits the fire-breathing monster Godzilla against a giant webspinning moth. Two mysterious tiny twin girls hold the secret to the control of the destructive insect which nearly destroys Japan. GODZILLA VS. KING GHIDORA: missaries from the future arrive in Japan with a shocking proposal: travel back through time to eliminate the monster that would become the fearsome Godzilla. But are their motives pure, or are they merely the puppets of Godzilla's newest foe, King Ghidora? A monster "mano a mano" is sure to ensue, in the best "Godzilla" tradition. GODZILLA VS. MONTER ZERO: A heroic space pilot battles the controller of Planet X. The evil ruler's aim is to destroy the Earth with the assistance of several powerful monsters. GODZILLA VS. MEGARIUS: In an effort to get rid of Godzilla once and for all, Japan develops a device which is supposed to open up a black hole, allowing its people to blast the giant city-stomping lizard creature into another dimension. While the hole is opened, an insect from that other dimension sneaks through and lays an egg, which finds its way into the sewers of Tokyo. Before long, a swarm of alien insects--which feed on Godzilla's energy--are wreaking their own brand of havoc on Japan and its citizens. GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA: According to legend, when the people of Okinawa are in danger, a monster will appear to save them. The legend is put to the test as a monstrous Cyborg threatens to destroy the Earth.
