So this crazy scientist mixes some Godzilla cells with a rose and grows this new plant-monster named Biollante who dukes it out with the big green lizard even though they're sorta related. This is the 17th Godzilla film but if you go according to the plot it's really just a sequel to GODZILLA 1985 and the original 1954 one and it disregards all the goofy movies in between those two. This one goes along pretty seriously, at least as seriously as a giant monster movie can go. There's a bit more violence than many of the films including people getting shot by Middle Eastern terrorists and a neat bit where Godzilla gets spiked through the hand just like Jesus. Unfortunately this was a pretty big flop when it was originally released in Japan so after this Toho went back to using the more classic Godzilla villains like Mecha-Godzilla and Ghidorah. Still this is probably a pretty good one to view if you're at all a fan of these sort of Japanese monster films and they still stick to the classic guy-in-a-suit and real special effects which I'm sure will be disregarded when/if that new American Godzilla
