History Film / GodzillaVsHedorah

* {{No Animals Were Harmed}}: In a rather unusual scene in the movie, right after killing several people playing cards in a nightclub and oozing to the dance scene downstairs, thoroughly terrifying the partiers, it retreated, leaving a small cat covered in sludge but otherwise unharmed.

* FreudWasRight: Hedorah's eyes were modeled after vaginas according to Yoshimitsu Banno.

Rampant pollution off the coast of Japan, combined with a mysterious lifeform that came on a meteorite, has created a monstrous pile of pollution. A researcher, Dr. Yano and his young son Ken are stricken by the creature's poisons upon discovering the creature, who begins making trouble on Japan's coast. Ken keeps receiving visions that Godzilla has decided to take the matter in his own hands and is making his way to fight the creature. Though beaten back into the sea on their first encounter, Hedorah quickly adapts and grows in power, choking the streets with his creeping sludge and skeletonizing people where they stand with toxic gases left in his flying wake, and he even brings Godzilla to his knees. With the situation looking dire, a group of teenage hippies plan one final celebration of life on the slopes of Mount Fuji and Dr. Yano manages to find a weakness in Hedorah. Using giant electrodes, the creature can be killed by drying out. Though Hedorah manages to interfere with the power, Godzilla arrives to power them on with his atomic breath and fights harder to make sure Hedorah becomes {{deader than dead}}, even resorting to flying in pursuit using his atomic breath.

* ReactionaryFantasy: The story was written as a result of screenwriter Takeshi Kimura reading Silent Spring.

* BlobMonster

* EyeScream: Both Dr. Yano and Godzilla get half-blinded by Hedorah.

* RealityEnsues: No, a monster that feeds off pollution would'nt be a good thing, as Dr. Yano clearly state.
