Bigger, Badder and more durable than Hollywood's greatest action heroes, Godzilla emerged from the mushroom cloud of an H-bomb test in 1954 to trample Tokyo. More than 40 years later, he reigns as the undisputed king of monsters, with legions of fans spanning several generations and countless international boundaries. Japan's Favourite Monster is the culmination of many years of in-depth research, including production details on all 22 Godzilla movies produced by Toho in Japan between 1954 and 1995 plus the 1998 big-budget US Godzilla remake by the makers of Independence Day.
