Invasion of Astro-Monster

Invasion of Astro-Monster, known in Japan as Kaijū Daisensō (怪獣大戦争, lit. "Great Monster War"), is a 1965 Japanese science fiction Kaiju film in which aliens from Planet X request the use of Godzilla and Rodan to fight off King Ghidorah, but actually have a better use for the three monsters. Directed by Ishirō Honda.  Written by Shinichi Sekizawa. Controller of Planet X Our actions are controlled by electronic computers, not by human emotions. When that law is violated, the offender is eliminated. Fools! Our computers are always invincible. Adjust them to normal! Miss Namikawa [in a note] Dear Glenn: When you receive this letter I shall have been eliminated for disobeying the directives of our computers. But I have no regrets. With you I have found a love beyond all computation. Dialogue Controller of Planet X: We need an exterminator, one that would drive away King Ghidorah. We need from you Monster Zero 1 and Monster Zero 2, Godzilla and Rodan. Astronaut K. Fuji: Are you serious? Controller of Planet X: Of course. Deadly serious. King Ghidorah was driven from Earth only with the combined strengths of Godzilla and Rodan. Would you help us? Astronaut K. Fuji: Well, your request is quite unusual. We do not know how to answer that. Glenn: Plus, we did not know where Godzilla and Rodan are. If we did, how are we supposed to catch them and bring them here? Astronaut Glenn: Mutual trust is a beautiful thing Astronaut K. Fuji: That won't buy groceries. Astronaut Glenn: The radar thermometer's reading 15 degrees. Astronaut K. Fuji: Oh? So far from the sun, that's a high temperature. Astronaut Glenn: That's the universe. Nobody knows its secret. Quotes about Invasion of Astro-Monster Not as popular as its two predecessors, the Daisenso-Godzilla featured a head slightly larger than that of the Mosugoji, with a round face and jaws. The body was thin and had no defined shape, appearing sack-like and unnatural. The fingers were not held apart like the Mosugoji but were grouped together, with the claws becoming less menacing; all following Godzilla suits until the 84 Godzilla would have this feature. On the plus side, the dorsal plates and the tail of the Daisenso-Godzilla were nicely detailed and the eyes were movable.
