Terror of Mechagodzilla

In Godzilla’s last movie of the Showa era, aliens retrieve Mechagodzilla’s remains and rebuild it with the aid of an unhinged biologist, in hopes of defeating Godzilla for possession of planet Earth. This film marks the return of director Ishiro Honda, who had retired years earlier. For this final entry, Honda steers the King of the Monsters back into grim territory, interweaving an alien-invasion plot with a tale of tragic romance.
