A reporter stumbles upon weather experiments on a tropical island, discovering giant mantids, a cast away woman, and an infant monster that Godzilla must adopt and learn to raise as one of his own.   A plane spots Godzilla heading off to an island in the South Seas named Sollgel, with the monster seemingly being called there. Reporter Goro Maki soon stumbles on Sollgel and finds scientists conducting weather experiments to feed a growing global population. He soon discovers that the experiments have mutated mantises in giants named Kamacuras. As Maki explores the island, he finds a cast away woman named Saeko as the weather experiments inadvertently cause the mantises to grow even bigger. The mantises soon uncover a giant egg which contains a defenseless infant that is rescued by Godzilla. Maki and Saeko soon observe Godzilla adopt the infant as the monster learns to care for the child and raise it as one of his own.  Movie Trivia Upon its released on home video in Italy during the 70s, the movie was presented as a sequel to the British monster movie Gorgo (1961), with even the title being changed to "Il ritorno di Gorgo" (The Return of Gorgo). The Japanese actors' names were inexplicably changed to "John Wembley", "Keny Sahara", "Dick Kennedy" and "Charles Simon", and the directorial credit was given to Ishirô Honda instead of Jun Fukuda. A pool was set up on stage nine during the production (stage nine is one of the largest on Toho's lot in Setagaya). They used the pool, which was about five feet deep, to film the shot of Godzilla rising above the surface of the ocean. Haruo Nakajima (the actor in Godzilla suit for the water scenes) was on a cart on a rail. He held onto the handle of the cart while it was towed by a truck. As the cart moved forward, he slowly rose out of the water. He wore a very tiny air cylinder that contained enough air for about ten minutes. The water that rushed by his face while the cart was being towed made it very difficult for him to prevent the mouthpiece from coming out of his mouth. While the character of Minilla is divisive among the western American fandom, in Japan the character is very popular and well liked. The character routinely tops Japanese popularity polls with one fan poll ranking Minilla as the 4th most popular Godzilla monster, beating American favorites such as Mechagodzilla and Anguirus.
