Invasion of Astro-Monster

Invasion of Astro-Monster, known in Japan as Kaijū Daisensō (怪獣大戦争, lit. "Great Monster War"), is a 1965 Japanese science fiction Kaiju film in which aliens from Planet X request the use of Godzilla and Rodan to fight off King Ghidorah, but actually have a better use for the three monsters.
 * Directed by Ishirō Honda. Written by Shinichi Sekizawa.

Controller of Planet X

 * Our actions are controlled by electronic computers, not by human emotions. When that law is violated, the offender is eliminated.
 * Fools! Our computers are always invincible. Adjust them to normal!

Dialogue

 * Controller of Planet X: We need an exterminator, one that would drive away King Ghidorah. We need from you Monster Zero 1 and Monster Zero 2, Godzilla and Rodan.
 * Astronaut K. Fuji: Are you serious?
 * Controller of Planet X: Of course. Deadly serious. King Ghidorah was driven from Earth only with the combined strengths of Godzilla and Rodan. Would you help us?
 * Astronaut K. Fuji: Well, your request is quite unusual. We do not know how to answer that.
 * Glenn: Plus, we did not know where Godzilla and Rodan are. If we did, how are we suppose to catch them and bring them here?

Quotes about Invasion of Astro-Monster

 * Not as popular as its two predecessors, the Daisenso-Godzilla featured a head slightly larger than that of the Mosugoji, with a round face and jaws. The body was thin and had no defined shape, appearing sack-like and unnatural. The fingers were not held apart like the Mosugoji but were grouped together, with the claws becoming less menacing; all following Godzilla suits until the 84 Godzilla would have this feature. On the plus side, the dorsal plates and the tail of the Daisenso-Godzilla were nicely detailed and the eyes were movable.
