Son of Godzilla (怪獣島の決戦 ゴジラの息子, Kaijū-tō no Kessen Gojira no Musuko?, lit. Monster Island's Decisive Battle: Godzilla's Son) is a 1967 tokusatsu kaiju film produced by Toho Company Ltd., and the eighth installment in the Godzilla series as well as the Showa series.
- All Monsters Attack (1969) The atrocious tenth film in the series focuses on a bullied boy who escapes from his depressing existence by dreaming that he and Godzilla’s moronic son Minilla are playmates on Monster Island.
- Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) Angered by mankind’s seemingly endless appetite for subterranean nuclear testing (seriously, have these tests ever worked out well for anyone?)
- Son of Godzilla (1967) Top secret weather control experiments on a tropical island lead to the creation of humungous praying mantises, and only Godzilla and his dopey offspring Minilla can set things right again.
- Godzilla (1998) This notoriously misguided American reboot appears to have been crafted by filmmakers with little appreciation for what made Godzilla one of cinema’s greatest icons in the first place.
Son of Godzilla. In director Jun Fukuda’s second Godzilla outing, secret weather-control experiments create a radioactive storm and Godzilla must rescue monster hatchling Minilla from the giant mutant insects that result.
