Godzilla Raids Again (1955)

aka Godzilla's Counterattack

The first sequel to the original Godzilla (1954) film has a significantly lessened military presence. Instead, it shifts much of the focus to the humble Japanese citizen, enabling him/her to be a hero while the city is again a casualty. It also shifts the action from Tokyo to Osaka.
It’s a more straightforward monster vs monster flick, notable for being the first entry to have Godzilla fighting another giant creature in the form of the prehistoric Anguirus, a spiky quadruped that knows how to wrestle.
