Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (ゴジラVSキングギドラ, Gojira tai Kingu Gidora?), is a 1991 Japanese Science Fiction Kaiju film produced by Toho. Directed by Kazuki Omori, and featuring special effects by Koichi Kawakita, the film starred Anna Nakagawa, Megumi Odaka, and Akiji Kobayashi. The 18th installment in the Godzilla series, the film featured the return of Godzilla's greatest foe, the monster King Ghidorah. Tomoyuki Tanaka had originally desired to create new monster opponents for the series, but after the box office failure two years earlier of the previous entry Godzilla vs Biollante, opted to bring back classic foes instead. The film was a box office hit and sequels began to get produced on a yearly basis. It was awarded a Japanese Academy Award for special effects.
The film was released straight to video in the United States in 1998 by Columbia Tristar Home Video as Godzilla vs. King Ghidora.
