Destroy All Monsters (1968)
This is a mess of a film, like a kanji Battle Royale. Aliens called Kilaaks are hiding in the volcanic Mt. Fuji because they are made of metal and need to stay hot. They are mostly women in silver suits. They release all the Kaiju from Monster Island (Ogasawara island chain, which is a real place) and send them to destroy the world's stuff like the Arc de Triumph and the Kremlin. It's got a lot of B-list kaiju: Panda, Gorosaurus, Anguirus, Kumonga, Baragon, Varan, and the most annoying Minilla (son of Godzilla). As a Hail Mary play, the Kilaaks release Ghidorah, who fights them all and loses. That's right, Ghidorah dies in this one. Godzilla stomps on one of his heads. But it takes him, Mothra, Rodan, Anguinus, Spida and a few others to take him down. Minilla dances on the Ghidorah's body, which was downright insulting.
The next two appearances of Ghidorah are Godzilla vs Gigan and Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, both behind paywalls. Maybe I can find them on the internet archives.
Ha. Found.
