Destroy All Monsters
Eleven monsters, no restraint. Honda cashing every chip at once.
Eleven monsters, no restraint, and Ishiro Honda cashing every chip Toho had accumulated. In the near future the world's kaiju are kept on an island until aliens seize control of them and turn them loose on the world's cities, culminating in a mass brawl at Mount Fuji. It was meant as a grand finale for the series.
It is pure spectacle, monster after monster, and for kaiju fans the all-out final battle is the genre's equivalent of a supergroup concert. The plot is a delivery system for creatures, and nobody minds.
The ultimate monster mash, made with obvious affection.

Filed alongside
Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell
Bleeding skies, a forehead-splitting alien, and an ending with no comfort in it whatsoever.
Matango
Honda's mushroom-people film. Far bleaker than anything else Toho made.
Gamera, the Giant Monster
Daiei's cut-price answer to Godzilla. A flying turtle. Children loved it.
War of the Gargantuas
Two giant humanoid brothers, one good, one savage, tear up Japan. Weirdly beloved, and Brad Pitt's favourite.
Rodan
Toho's first colour kaiju. A supersonic pterosaur levels a city with its wingblasts.
Mothra
The most charming of Toho's roster, and openly anti-colonial about it.
