- Original Title: Gojira No Gyakushu (Japanese:ゴジラの逆襲)

This film is a direct sequel to the original Godzilla movie. A monster identical to the Godzilla killed by the Oxegen Destroyer appears, as does a new monster, Anguirus. As the first film reflects World War II anxieties this one could be interpreted as an allegory for the Cold War rivalry of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. The film was rerealesed in a re-edited form in America as Attack of the Volcano Monsters.ja:ゴジラの逆襲
