The monsters featured in this film are Godzilla , Anguirus , King Ghidorah and a new monster, Gigan . Godzilla fans usually do not hold the film in high esteem. It had a lower budget than most of the other Godzilla films and depends heavily on stock footage from earlier Toho Kaiju movies, such as '' Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster '', '' Rodan '', '' War Of The Gargantuas '', '' Destroy All Monsters '', and '' Monster Zero ''. However, because of the film's low-budget, the special-effects crew could not have completed the movie without the use of the older footage. Some fans do enjoy the film for its lengthy four-way fight between the monsters at the finale. The music is credited to Akira Ifukube , who composed the scores for most of the Godzilla films of the 1960s . Ifukube, however, did not write any new music for this movie; all of his music was taken from his earlier Toho scores, most notably '' Battle In Outer Space '' for the main title music. THE STORY Giant cockroaches from a dying Earth-like planet in the Space Hunter Nebula M plot to colonize the Earth and destroy all cities to make it more "peaceful" (Peace and technology are the themes of this film). They inhabit the bodies of recently deceased humans, thus resembling them, and work as the staff of the Japan branch of the peace-themed Theme Park , World Children's Land (based in Switzerland ), the centerpiece being the Godzilla-shaped "Godzilla Tower". The plan of the Nebula M aliens is to use the space monsters King Ghidorah and Gigan (guided by two "Action Signal Tapes") to wipe out civilization. A Cartoonist named Gengo Odaka stumbles onto their plan after being hired as a concept artist for them. When Gengo and his friends play one of the incomprehensible Action Signal Tapes (which he obtained by accident) on their tape player, only Godzilla and Anguirus hear it from afar and catch on to this evil plot as well. Both monsters try to save the Earth from King Ghidorah and Gigan, though the Nebula M aliens plan to lure Godzilla into a shocking fatal trap . . . TRIVIA
