Review of Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975) by Orlok W — 13 Oct 2012
Godzilla is once again up against his metallic menace. The final film in the original Godzilla series definitely didn't disappoint. There are not only more explosions than an average Godzilla movie, but the human characters are pretty well fleshed out.
There is a corrupt scientist who joins an alien race in rebuilding MechaGodzilla. But he also creates a giant sea monster to aide the mechanical demon. So now its just Godzilla up against 2 nearly unstoppable beasts.
2 things that make this installment weaker than the last MechaGodzilla flick. First of all, the aliens in this movie aren't the cheesy space apes with hilariously bad voice acting. Instead, they just wear ridiculous helmets.
Lastly, there is a crap ton of stock footage. I understand these are old, low budget movies. But couldn't they have made the last movie in the Godzilla series not just re-use footage from the very previous film?! Besides that, really awesome monster movie.
