I like this one, but is has some terrible parts


Just like the title says, I've always liked this Showa entry. The "human" plot is fairly interesting as are the main characters. The monster battles are good and the Big G really gets trashed at one point. What really brings it down is the over-use of stock footage that hurts continuity. I counted three different Godzillas in this film. There's the main Godzilla (where the suit is falling apart), the water Godzilla, and Godzilla from "Gidrah: The Three Headed Monster" The inter cut stock footage scenes during the big battle are really disruptive as the difference in the Godzilla suits are not subtle.

I definitely noticed the suit falling apart during the fight. Funny story, I was just giving destroy All Monsters another viewing the other day and while browsing the catalog I found this film which seems to be the only one I haven't seen before. At least most of it, because I immediately recognized the fight footage from DAM.
