Godzilla Final Wars

Toho decided for Godzilla's 50th Anniversary they would do a big extravaganza again like "Destroy All Monsters". They hired a young up and coming director, chucked it full of daikaiju's and former Godzilla actors. But still had it made in the same short development and shooting time.

Godzilla Vs Megalon

The script for this movie was originally just Jet Jaguar Vs. Megalon, but Toho thought twice and figured it would do better with Godzilla and Gigan added to the fight card. Also like the last two movies Godzilla battles at night till dawn, however it is easier to see the nighttime action then the last two.

Godzilla Vs. Gigan aka Godzilla on Monster Island

"Godzilla Vs. Gigan" starts the heavy use of recycled effect footage. Godzilla ends up with a lot of screen time, however a lot of that is stock footage or spent swimming. This movie was also a later release in the US not coming out till 1977 five years after it came out in Japan. And called "Godzilla on Monster Island" even though he spends very little time on said monster island.
