Godzilla Raids Again

Toho Studios followed the enormous success of the original GODZILLA with this sequel, efficiently directed by Motoyoshi Oda as a straight-ahead monsters-on-the-loose drama. An underrated standout among the Showa Godzilla films, GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN introduces the monster-versus-monster format that would dominate the remainder of the series, pitting Godzilla against the ferocious, spiny Anguirus as the kaiju wreak havoc in the streets of Osaka in a series of elaborate set pieces that succeed in upping the ante for destruction.

Starring Hiroshi Koizumi, Minoru Chiaki, Setsuko Wakayama, Takashi Shimura, Yukio Kasama, Masao Shimizu, Yoshio Tsuchiya, Sonosuke Sawamura
