After the huge commercial success of its predecessor, it was only a matter of months for production company Toho to come up with a follow-up to Ishiro Honda’s original “Godzilla”. However, with Honda working on several other features at the time, directing duties were handed over to Motoyoshi Oda, who had worked with Honda on other features as his assistant and who also had experience working with movies relying on special effects, as his 1954 science-fiction venture “The Invisible Avenger” had proven. With the second feature possibly signaling the beginning of a franchise, Oda and his team went on to develop the story, but also the special effects in order to show Godzilla more often on screen, as well as have him fight against another monster, something which would become even more important in the years to come, as the infamous kaiju would be challenged by several other creatures like him.
