Godzilla Vs. Biollante

$35 (was $50)

This is also one of the wildest Godzilla films, as it pits the King of the Monsters against a weird and deadly titan in the form of Biollante, a giant mutant plant genetically engineered from the cells of a rose, a renegade scientist's dead daughter, and Godzilla itself. On top of that massive clash, there's also a storyline revolving around spies, biotechnology, and psychic children. Godzilla vs Biollante also saw a massive improvement in the special effects department, complementing the traditional practical effects of the stuntmen inside of the monster costumes.
