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. (Note courtesy of Janus Films.) DIR Motoyoshi Oda; SCR Takeo Murata, Shigeaki Hidaka; PROD Tomoyuki Tanaka. Japan, 1955, b&w, 82 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. NOT RATED
