Four Famous Monsters, One Big Battle
I have to say, this is one of my favorite Godzilla films and second fav in the "Showa" series ( my favorite being Destroy All Monsters ). I really liked the origin of King Ghidorah better in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, ohwell. Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster shows for the very first time that Godzilla turns good. I have to admit, the specail effects could be improved such as Godzilla's heat blast. The twin girls that guard Mothra don't always talk at the same time. One of my favorite parts is that a princess of some sort of country gains the ability too predict the future, warns people on stuff like, King Ghidorah is attacking, Rodan is in a volcano, that kind of stuff and claims to be a Martian. If you enjoy this, you may want to see more movies with King Ghidorah, such as Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, and Rebirth of Mothra Part 1 & 2.

Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra take on the three-headed Ghidrah
"Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster" ("San daikaijû: Chikyu saidai no kessen," which literally translated as "Earth's Greatest Battle") is one of the better Godzilla movies, simply because this 1964 film has the three-headed monster named Ghidrah. It also has the Twin Fairies, the little friends of Mothra, which is a clear sign that this is one of those movies where Godzilla is now the good monster instead of the bad monster. Rodan and Godzilla are having one of their standard fights when Ghidrah shows up on earth, courtesy of a meteor. Mothra convinces the two earth monsters to stop fighting each other and the trio go off to fight Ghidrah. Clearly if you have a three-headed monster then you need three monsters, one for each head, so you can have three times the fun (although Godzilla is at something of a disadvantage since he is the only one of this quartet that cannot fly). Oh, yes, there are also some actual human beings running around in "Ghidrah," such as Professor Miura (Hiroshi Koizumi), Mas Selina Salno, Princess of Sergina (Akiko Wakabayashi), and a Chief Assassin (Hisaya Ito). However, all these subplots are just things to fill in the lulls between the fighting monsters, which is the only reason for watcing this film in the first place.

This film was also known as "The Biggest Battle on Earth," "The Biggest Fight on Earth," "The Greatest Battle on Earth," "The Greatest Fight on Earth," "Three Giant Monsters: The Earth's Greatest Decisive Battle," "Monster of Monsters," and just plain "Ghidrah" (I have to admit I sort of miss the old days when studios tried to trick you into seeing the same B-movie more than once by giving it another name). Whatever the title this is a favorite for kids because it offers more monsters and more Tokyo stomping that your average Godzilla film. Interestingly enough, in the Japanese version it is Venus that was destroyed by Ghidrah, but in the American version this is changed to Mars (as is the home of the alien possessing the princess). Just remember, the Japanese version is from Venus, the American version from Mars...

Do Not Buy This Garbage Bootleg
It took a month for me to actually receive this film. I have been waiting for years to see this, the last Godzilla film I needed for my collection. I should have waited longer. Even if you don't mind that this is a cheap DVD-R bootleg of a shoddy print, or that the title is spelled wrong, or that the cover and label are ugly as sin... you should not buy it. Why? Because the last chapter of the disc doesn't play! You can't even watch the whole film all the way through. I have returned and replaced this disc twice already and they were all the same. I'm going to avoid all DVDs from "Cine Vu" from now on.
