Trivia
Planned as a trilogy, box office results lead to the sequels being canceled. The second film would have featured Yamato going up against Bagan and the third would have featured an ancient monster that Godzilla was named after that was only mentioned in the original [link=Godzilla (1954). Bagan was a monster Toho had created in early drafts of The Return of Godzilla (1984) but was scrapped in favor of making that film more like the original Godzilla (1954) and a film called Mothra vs. Bagan had been planned but disappointing box office returns for Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) forced them to cancel the project in favor of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991).

Great movie - a MUST for TOHO & King Ghidorah fans !

It's more than just the 8-headed dragon! This is a GREAT movie, not just a "monster movie"! It has great action with (laser)swords and walking and fighting in the air and against walls! There's also a lot of magic present in this movie and there is more than only the 8-headed dragon! (I would call this movie: Magic,Monsters and Orochi-the 8-headed Dragon). A nice reference to the (new)Gamera movies is the amulet of the prince, it's the same as the girl who can talk to Gamera. In conclusion: good story, great action/monsters and magic, good colours, good acting.
