)While this is not the best G movie ever made, nor is it really a favorite, it is one of the more fascinating Godzilla movies to talk about.
Godzilla's first opponent; the first ever kaiju fight. Introduction of Hiroshi Koizumi and Yoshio Tsuchiya to the series. It would have two of the Seven Samurai in a Godzilla movie. Takashi Shimura, first to have returning role in a G flick.
Personal: Growing up in the 1970s, I never saw it! This was my long lost Godzilla movie. I think it was the title of "Gigantis, the Fire Monster" that threw me off. As a kid, I was a T.V. Guide scanner (one of the best ever!
), but that title never caught my radar. As a matter of fact, the very first time I saw this movie on a regular commercial TV, was when Svengoolie was playing it earlier this year! 
Well, I am off to watching my VHS!
