Later, Godzilla teams up with Jet Jaguar in the film which cemented his popularity in the US as a superhero in "Godzilla vs. Megalon"!


4th
It is the film which one SF historian claimed was an allegory of Japan's fear of the white man interbreeding with Japanese women and the bomb in the classic, "The Mysterians!". Afterward, the unofficial sequel to the Mysterians takes a turn to rock your boat with "Battle In Outer Space"!
