It is the first film in the series (and in kaiju eiga) to feature a battle between two monsters. It is the first film to feature Anguirus. It was the sequel to the previous year's successful Godzilla and was the second film in the Godzilla franchise. Godzilla Raids Again (ゴジラの逆襲 Gojira no Gyakushū?), also known in the United States as Gigantis, the Fire Monster, is a 1955 Japanese black and white tokusatsu kaiju film directed by Motoyoshi Oda, written by Shigeaki Hidaka and Takeo Murata, and produced by Toho. Awareness of toxic waste in the 1970s may have inspired 1979's Prophecy, which featured a giant mutant bear in the woods in Maine. Movies featuring Godzilla and Gamera were made into the 1970s, and 1976 saw a high-profile remake of King Kong. Dinosaur-themed films experienced a revival in the 1960s with a 1960 remake of The Lost World, 1966's One Million Years B.C., and 1969's The Valley of Gwangi. Japanese cinema continued with a giant moth in Mothra, and turtle in Gamera. The British followed with Gorgo in 1961, and 1955's Tarantula had a spider rather than insect. The Americans brought out their own film along similar themes with 1953's The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, featuring an Arctic hibernating dinosaur, and 1954's Them!, which involved giant irradiated ants. Japanese cinema began its foray into giant monster films with the 1954 film Godzilla, a giant reptile created by nuclear radiation. The development of atomic weaponry in the 1940s gave rise to its involvement in popular themes. These early films had themes of adventure and exploration of unknown regions, and incorporated fights with giant monsters as a climactic element. This was followed by the 1933 classic King Kong. Films involving giant monsters began with the 1925 film The Lost World, as developments in cinema and animation enabled the creation of realistic giant creatures. This is a list of giant monster films according to their release date.
