Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)

If proof were needed that adding more monsters to a film doesn't necessarily make it better, look upon exhibit A. It’s the first to feature King Ghidorah, but what’s not evident from the title is that it’s also the fifth Godzilla film and continues the story of Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964).*
A storm of meteorites lights up the night sky, bringing with them the three-headed King of destruction. Meanwhile, the big G and Rodan are going head to head, dragging the franchise into new territory. There are elements of slapstick creeping into the bouts. Nut shots were okay, but did we really need a game of keepie-uppie with a rock? Bloody hell.

*If you want to keep track of the other monsters, it's the third outing for Mothra and the second for Rodan who each had their own series.
