Gojira (released in the U.S. as "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" in 1956 with added footage), the classic 1954 Ishiro Honda Japanese Toho battling monster science fiction thriller ("Incredible, unstoppable titan of terror!"; "Civilization crumbles as its death rays blast a city of 6 million from the face of the earth!") starring Godzilla (in his first role!), Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, and Akihiko Hirata. Note that two years later the movie was substantially cut and a new section with Raymond Burr as a newscaster was added, and it was released (in English) as "Godzilla, King of the Monsters".
