Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla

     Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla brought an alien threat into the Heisei era.  Not through Cockroaches or apes from outer space, but a space monster created by mutated Godzilla cells.

      The plot involves two operations against Godzilla. Project Telepethy( Project T) which means to control Godzilla through telepathy and Project M.O.G.U.R.A which is a giant robot designed to kill Godzilla. They encounter Godzilla's son, now known as Little Godzilla on the island where project T is being tested.

Spacegodzilla shows up, beats Godzilla, and captures little Godzilla. Eventually, Godzilla with  help from MOGURA  takes down Spacegodzilla.

       The films gives two explanations on how G cells made it into space. Through Biolante or Mothra. It's been noted by another reviewer how bizarre it is that they give two possible explanations rather than just settling on one. 

MOGURA  has its roots in another TOHO film called the Mysterians from 1957. Of course its given a new origin for this. The problem with it is it's a poor man's MechaGodzilla. Continuity wise it makes no sense, In the previous film, they already tried killing Godzilla with a giant robot. Little Godzilla looks more like Minilla now.

Gone is its dinosaur look. This was due to a planned children's television show starring Little Godzilla.  

     There's a human plot involving the Yakuza, buts it resolved almost immediately. There's an attempted romance between a psychic Miki Saegusa and a G-Force member, but nothing much comes from it except him learning the value of life. One stand out character is a man whose best friend was killed by Godzilla in Godzilla vs Biolante. Which gives him a personal  agenda.  This film is a weaker entry in the Heisei series. It has good action sequences, but the story around it isn't very engaging.  As a fun fact, There is a scene of brief nudity. A male character showers in a makeshift shower on the island, and he's seen from behind. It's dark so not much detail is seen. This marks the third and last time nudity would show up in the series.  The others being topless photos on the back wall of a truck cab in Godzilla vs Megalon and a plastic bust of Katsura's breast during surgery in the Japanese cut of Terror of MechaGodzilla.
