Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Japan

All Monsters Attack is a 1969 Japanese comedy kaiju film directed by Ishirō Honda, written by Shinichi Sekizawa, and produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka. The film, which was produced and distributed by Toho Co., Ltd, is the tenth film in the Godzilla series. The film stars Tomonori Yazaki, Kenji Sahara, and Hideyo Amamoto, with special effects by Honda and Teruyoshi Nakano, and features Haruo Nakajima as Godzilla, Masao Fukazawa as Minilla, and Yasuhiko Kakuyuki as Gabara.

Production

Despite Destroy All Monsters initially having been planned as the final Godzilla film, not long thereafter Toho Studios entered negotiations with Filmation for an animated series based on the property that was intended for air during the 1969-70 television season. Although the deal collapsed, Toho's view of Godzilla as a children's property would dictate their approach to the series from then onward.

Due to production costs, All Monsters Attack includes extensive stock footage of Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, Son of Godzilla, King Kong Escapes, and Destroy All Monsters. The filmmakers also employed the same Godzilla suit used for Destroy All Monsters. Despite being credited as the film's special effects director, Eiji Tsuburaya was not actively involved with the production.
