Short description
An ever evolving alien life-form arrives on a comet from the Dark Gaseous Nebula and proceeds to consume pollution. Spewing mists of sulfuric acid and corrosive sludge, neither humanity nor Godzilla may be able to defeat this toxic menace.
What's left behind the scenes
- This is the eleventh Godzilla film and the first about Hedora.
- The film's budget was $250,000.
- Following the film 'Attack of Godzilla' (1969), Hedorah became the second new opponent for Godzilla. Essentially, Hedorah is an alien, but her origin and how she arrived on Earth are unknown.
- Hedorah's first stage resembles a tadpole, which is what it was initially mistaken for. It swims in water and cannot survive on land. In the second stage, Hedorah can already move outside of water. It can even hover in the air, likely inhaling gases to do so. The next stage only flies – it has no limbs, but clearly defined flat wings like those of a ray. It can release hydrochloric acid in a gaseous state. The adult form moves on land on thick hind legs, and it gains a red heat ray as a weapon.
- At the time of its release, Hedorah was the strongest enemy Godzilla had faced.
- In Japan, 1,740,687 viewers saw the film in theaters.
- In the battle against Hedorah, Godzilla loses his left eye, but in subsequent films, he sees normally with both eyes.
- At all stages, electric current and Godzilla's heat ray are fatal to Hedorah. The monster was ultimately killed by luring it into a giant capacitor and sending electric waves through it.
- This is the only film in which Godzilla can fly, using his atomic ray as a turbine.
