Akira Kubo

On an uninhabited island, United Nations scientists experiment with changing the climate, cooling desert temperatures to provide more fertile land for growing crops. Unfortunately, the experiment takes an accidental tragic turn when a radioactive burst emits a thunderstorm of fire. Huge native praying mantises suddenly grow to 160 feet, tearing the island apart until they uncover a monstrous-sized egg. The egg hatches and the shocked scientists are confronted by a baby Godzilla. The infant's screams bring his father to the rescue and now the original Godzilla and his son want revenge. What will it take to stop them?

A strange weather condition has produced Minya, a miniature creature from the same species as Godzilla! Attacked by giant insects, Minya cries for help and Godzilla responds, taking the youngster under his wing.

Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Akira Kurosawa?s tightly paced, beautifully composed Sanjuro. In this sly companion piece to Yojimbo, jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan?s evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a ?proper? samurai on its ear. Less brazen in tone than its predecessor but equally entertaining, this classic character?s return is a masterpiece in its own right.
