comment |
Godzilla vs. Mothra: The Battle for Earth, referred to in Japan as Godzilla vs. Mothra is the 1992 sequel to Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, the nineteenth Godzilla film and the fourth in the Heisei series. It is directed by Takao Okawara and written by Kazuki Omori.After the success of the previous film, Toho decided to bring back another familiar monster. While there are similarities to Mothra vs. Godzilla, such as greedy businessmen and kidnapped fairies, the film is its own animal. The film sold well and became the most popular entry in the Heisei series.A meteor hits the ocean, causing many natural disasters. Repenting tomb raider Takuya Fujito (Tetsuya Bessho), his ex-wife Masako Tezuka (Satomi Kobayashi), and Marutomo secretary Kenji Ando (Takehiro Murata) are sent to investigate the effects on Infant Island. There, they find a giant egg and the Cosmos (Keiko Imamura and Sayaka Osawa), a pair of tiny twin girls whose role is to watch over the balance of nature and who are the Last of Their Kind.They tell of an ancient civilization who worshiped Mothra and were scientifically advanced. When they created a weather machine, the Earth was angered so much that it created a dark version of their god called Battra. Battra proved to be so bloodthirsty that Mothra was forced into a battle with him. After the fierce clash, Mothra managed to sink Battra in the Arctic ice. Mothra is once again having to become active because of the environmental problems plagueing the Earth.The Cosmos agree to go to Japan with the giant egg, but Godzilla intercepts them. Mothra hatches and gets saved from Godzilla (Kenpachiro Satsuma) when a revived Battra clashes with the King of the Monsters. They are sucked into the earth by a underwater eruption and Mothra leaves.The Cosmos are kidnapped by the company secretary, whose CEO plans to exploit them for all they are worth. But Mothra won't stand for this and is heading for Tokyo. Can our heroes rescue the Cosmos before Mothra does too much damage? And how would they deal with Godzilla and Battra, who have survived being swallowed by lava and are converging on the area?The film also features Megumi Odaka as Miki Saegusa, Shiori Yonezawa as Midori Tezuka, Makoto Otake as Takeshi Tomokane, Akiji Kobayashi as Ryuzo Dobashi, Koichi Ueda as Minoru Omae, Shinya Owada as a ship captain, Saburo Shinoda as Shigeki Fukazawa and Akira Takarada as Joji Minamino.It was followed by Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II. |

comment |
Evil Versus Evil: Battra may be an antagonistic force himself, but he also opposses Godzilla as well, perceiving him to be the embodiment of mankind's disregard and callousness toward nature. Takeshi getting screwed over by Battra also counts, particularly with his much more villainous manga counterpart who Godzilla ends up unintentionally killing. |

comment |
Vocal Evolution: Godzilla goes back to his higher-pitched screeches from the Showa era in this film, combined with a few new moans and growls which would later be used as well for his Millenium incarnations. If one listes closely, however, Goji briefly utters one of his 84-91 roars in the climatic battle just as Battra is about to slam the ferris wheel onto the mutant dinosaur. |

Market-Based Title: The film's original and international title was Godzilla vs. Mothra, but when Tristar picked it up, it was retitled Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth to avoid confusion with the then-current home video title of the 1964 version. The last German Godzilla release to change the title. Was released as Godzilla - Kampf der Sauriermutanten. Was also released on video in Argentina as Godzilla - El Dinosaurio Mutante. The Taiwanese Mandarin dubbed theatrical version is entitled "蝶龍魔斯拉", or Butterfly Dragon Mothra. |

Knight Templar: Battra's ultimate goal is to protect the Earth.... even if that means annihilating most of humanity. |

Fallen Hero: Battra is meant to protect Earth, but sees humanity to be the enemy of Earth rather than something worth protecting. |

Shout-Out: Both the booby-trapped temple at the start, as well as the rope-bridge scene, are lifted straight from the first two Indiana Jones movies. |

comment |
Waist-Deep Ocean: Partway through the film, Godzilla and Mothra's caterpillar form are shown duking it out in the middle of the ocean, with the water only coming up to Godzilla's waist. Mothra even chomps down on the tip of Godzilla's tail and gets flailed around. |

Outside-Context Problem |

comment |
Outside-Context Problem: In this story about environmental degradation and ancient magical forces involved with Mothra and Battra, the giant radioactive dinosaur who's in the title just kinda walks into the plot. |

Lighter and Softer: Battle For Earth is definitely lighter among the Heisei series. With its overall themes of evironmentalism and Black-and-White Morality. Mothra is also the central protagonist in the film. |
