Godzilla vs. Mothra

More visually splendid and imaginatively written than the other Godzilla sequels, this (the fourth in the series) starts when Mothra's gigantic egg washes ashore in Japan, having been dislodged from Mothra Island by a hurricane. Two tiny twin girls (sometimes singing like dual-diminutive Dorothy Lamours) from the island come to plead for the return of the egg by the greedy business guys who bought it for a tourist attraction, but to no avail. Radiation from nuclear testing revives Godzilla from the earth, who proceeds to threaten the egg and the cities, unless Mothra and his larvae hatched from the egg can stop him. The battle sequences between Mothra and Godzilla, and between Godzilla and the larvae, are spectacularly vivid and colorful.Product details Actors: Akira Takarada, Yuriko Hoshi, Hiroshi Koizumi, Yû Fujiki, Kenji Sahara Directors: Ishirô Honda Writers: Shin'ichi Sekizawa Producers: Sanezumi Fujimoto, Tomoyuki Tanaka Format: Multiple Formats, Color, Dolby, NTSC Language: English Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only.
