The seventeenth instalment of the franchise, 1989's Godzilla vs Biollante created a new kaiju adversary for the King of the Monsters: Biollante, a bio-engineered hybrid of rose, human, and Godzilla’s own cells.

An entertainingly goofy affair, it also features machine-gun shootouts, an “Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria”, a young psychic who can use her powers to attack Godzilla, a Thunderbirds-esque craft called the Super X2, maser-packing tanks, American mercenaries, and a Middle Eastern assassin. Phew!

The new Criterion Collection release includes a 4K restoration of the film. Bonus features include an expert commentary, and a 1993 Making Of piece full of behind-the-scenes footage (including glimpses of the camera crew zooming across the pond at Toho Studios towards the man in the monster costume!)
