weirdly hyperactive entry., 22 May 2000
Author: lartronic from Akron, Ohio

Oh man, what a movie! I can't believe this is even part of the series. All the others were really so staightfoward, this one is hyperactive. Lets see all the things our pal Yoshimitsu Banno threw in: There's the song "Save the Earth"(In the American print it sounds like a bunch of drunk guys for the backround singers!), The trombone music that was played throughout, the stupid and pointless cartoons that popped in at the most inappropriate times, all the Japanese hippies, the fish hallucination sequence, the guitar playing scene in black and white, the multiple screens showing the complaining citizens, the annoying little kid, the badly designed Hedorah, the garbage acid, the bad special effects, and a whole lot of other garbage that you simply won't believe. To this day my favorite 70's Godzilla film and one of my all time favorite Godzilla films. It's so wonderfully goofy, you won't believe MST3K didn't recycle this. A must see, it's always wild and not for once ever stops.
