{{nihongo|'''''Destroy All Monsters'''''|怪獣総進撃|''Kaijū Sō-shingeki''|{{literal translation|''Monster All-out Attack''}}|lead=yes}} is a 1968 Japanese [[Epic film|epic]] [[Kaiju|''kaiju'' film]] directed by [[Ishirō Honda]], with special effects directed by Sadamasa Arikawa and supervised by [[Eiji Tsuburaya]]. The film, which was produced and distributed by [[Toho|Toho Co., Ltd]], is the ninth film in the [[Godzilla (franchise)|''Godzilla'' franchise]], and features eleven monster characters, including [[Godzilla]], [[Mothra]], [[Rodan]], [[King Ghidorah]], [[Anguirus]], and [[Minilla]]. The film stars [[Akira Kubo]], [[Jun Tazaki]], Yukiko Kobayashi and [[Yoshio Tsuchiya]].

In the film, humans have achieved [[world peace]] by the year 1999, and various giant monsters are confined to an area known as Monsterland. The monsters are freed from the area and are [[Mind control|mind-controlled]] by aliens known as Kilaaks, who send them to attack major cities. When the monsters are freed from the Kilaaks' influence, the aliens send King Ghidorah to challenge the other monsters.

''Destroy All Monsters'' was released theatrically in Japan on August 1, 1968. The film was released by [[American International Pictures]] with an English-language dub in the United States on May 23, 1969. Contemporary American reviews were mixed, with praise mainly held for the climactic monster battle. Retrospectively, the film has received more praise, and is considered a favorite among ''Godzilla'' fans for its "audacious and simple story", "innovative action sequences",<ref name="Criterion"/> and a "memorably booming" score by [[Akira Ifukube]].

==Plot==
At the close of the 20th century (1999 in the dub), all of the Earth's [[kaiju]] have been collected by the [[United Nations]] Science Committee and confined in an area known as Monsterland, located in the [[Ogasawara Islands|Ogasawara island chain]]. A special control center is constructed underneath the island to ensure that the monsters stay secure and to serve as a research facility to study them.

When communications with Monsterland are suddenly and mysteriously severed, and all of the monsters begin attacking world capitals, Dr. Yoshida of the UNSC orders Captain Yamabe and the crew of his spaceship, Moonlight SY-3, to investigate Ogasawara. There, they discover that the scientists, led by Dr. Otani, have become mind-controlled slaves of a feminine alien race identifying themselves as the Kilaaks, who reveal that they are in control of the monsters. Their leader demands that the human race surrender, or face total annihilation.

[[Godzilla]] attacks [[New York City]], [[Rodan]] invades [[Moscow]], [[Mothra]] lays waste to [[Beijing]], [[Gorosaurus]] destroys [[Paris]] (although [[Baragon]] was credited for its destruction), and [[Manda (kaiju)|Manda]] attacks [[London]]. The attacks were set in to motion to draw attention away from Japan, so that the aliens can establish an underground stronghold near [[Mount Fuji]]. The Kilaaks then turn their next major attack onto Tokyo and, without serious opposition, become arrogant in their aims until the UNSC discover, after recovering the Kilaaks' monster mind-control devices from around the world, that they have switched to broadcasting the control signals from their base under the Moon's surface. In a desperate battle, the crew of the SY-3 destroys the Kilaak's lunar outpost and returns the alien control system to Earth.

With all of the monsters under the control of the UNSC, the Kilaaks call [[King Ghidorah]], who is dispatched to protect the alien stronghold at Mount Fuji, battling Godzilla, [[Minilla]], Mothra, Rodan, Gorosaurus, [[Anguirus]], [[Kumonga]] and [[Varan the Unbelievable|Varan]]. While seemingly invincible, King Ghidorah is eventually overpowered by the combined strength of the Earth monsters and is killed. Refusing to admit defeat, the Kilaaks produce their ace, a burning monster they call the Fire Dragon, which begins to torch Tokyo and destroys the control center on Ogasawara. Suddenly, Godzilla attacks and destroys the Kilaaks' underground base, revealing that the Earth's monsters instinctively know who their enemies are. Captain Yamabe then pursues the Fire Dragon in the SY-3 and narrowly achieves victory for the human race. The Fire Dragon is revealed to be a flaming Kilaak saucer and is destroyed. With the Kilaaks defeated, Godzilla and the other monsters eventually return to Monsterland to live in peace.

==Production==
===Writing===
Special effects director Sadamasa Arikawa noted that Toho were going to potentially end the ''Godzilla'' series as "Producer Tanaka figured that all the ideas had just run out."{{sfn|Ryfle|1998|p=145}}{{sfn|Ryfle|1998|p=146}} Several sources attest that the film was announced alongside ''Son of Godzilla'', possibly as a competing project.

The film was written by [[Takeshi Kimura]] and [[Ishirō Honda]], making it the first ''Godzilla'' film since ''[[Godzilla Raids Again]]'' not written by [[Shinichi Sekizawa]].{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=98}} Takeshi Kimura is credited to the pen name Kaoru Mabuchi in the film's credits.{{sfn|Ryfle|1998|p=146}} Kimura and Honda's script developed the concept of Monsterland (referred to as Monster Island in future films).{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=98}}

The earliest screenplay, written by Kimura in 1967, was titled ''Monster Chushingura'' (怪獣忠臣蔵, Kaiju Chūshingura). (The word ''[[chushingura]]'' refers to a famous historical story in Japan about the [[Forty-seven rōnin|rebellion of 47 samurai]] who took revenge after their master was unjustly forced to commit suicide).{{sfn|Ryfle|Godziszewski|2011|loc=00:01:23}} Supposedly, in this version, every monster in Toho’s arsenal was to be included, even King Kong, Sanda, and Gaira. In an interview with David Miller, Ishiro Honda even said “The original idea was to show all of the monsters.”

The first initial screenplay, preliminary titled ''Monster Total Advancement Order'' (怪獣総進撃命令, Kaijū Sōshingeki Meirei), by Takashi Kamura (as Kaoru Mabuchi) was submitted on November 22, 1967, included a confirmed roster of Godzilla, Mothra (larva), King Ghidorah, Rodan, Baragon, Varan, Kumonga, Manda, Maguma, and Ebirah. Everything plays out just as in the finished film except that Maguma and Baragon guard the Kilaak base and Baragon actually attacks Paris. Also, in this iteration, Varan and Rodan work in tandem to attack King Ghidorah in the final battle.

When it was decided to adapt ''Two Godzillas!: Japan SOS'' (an earlier version of ''[[Son of Godzilla]]'') instead, the script was shelved for next year, by then the rights to Kong had expired. Ishiro Honda also wanted to show lunar colonies and brand new hybrid monsters, the results of interbreeding and genetic splicing. He also wanted to delve more deeply into undersea farming to feed the monsters. But because of budget constraints he couldn't show all this. In later scripts, the number of monsters was cut as well.

===Filming===
Director Ishiro Honda was fascinated by the concept of a "monster farm", in particular the idea of how humanity could feed them. He noted that a "huge amount of protein" would be needed and envisioned cloning along with undersea farming to accomplish this. However, despite the director's fascination with this concept, the final movie devotes very little time to it outside of the brief introduction to Monsterland and showing Rodan feasting on a dolphin. The director laments that of the original complex idea only the basic "idea of [a] Monster Island survived."

As the film has several monsters who continuously return in the films, the location was developed to be a faraway island where the monsters are pacified.{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=98}} This tied other films not related to the ''Godzilla'' series within its universe, as creatures such as [[Manda (kaiju)|Manda]] (from ''[[Atragon]]'') and [[Varan]] (''[[Varan the Unbelievable]]'') exist.{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=98}} The film features footage from ''[[Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster]]'' (1964), specifically [[King Ghidorah]]'s fiery birth scene.{{sfn|Galbraith IV|1996|p=150}}{{sfn|Kalat|1997|p=99}}

Like with ''Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster'' (1966), Teisho Arikawa was the actual special effects director for the movie, although Eiji Tsuburaya is credited for it. However, Tsuburaya had more of a supervisor role regarding the special effects.

During the monster’s attack on Tokyo, you can see Godzilla steps over a construction crane model. Looking back on it, Haruo Nakajima did so because he worried he might trip over it and fall. He regretted doing that since he should have kicked it out of the way since it was a very non-monster like thing to do.

[[File:damset.jpg|right|thumb|School children visiting the set during production, posing with some of the cast, monster suits and props.]]
Eiji Tsuburaya was always getting letters from kids asking to see a real monster. So, he arranged for Toho to invite to the studio around 100 kids who would be entering first grade. In Japan, entrance into grade school involves a special ceremony to welcome the kids, so this lucky bunch got to see all the monsters on the set rather than endure the usual boring speeches from school officials. On March 26, 1968, the kids assembled at the Mount Fuji set in Stage 11 and were entertained by all 11 monsters and they were also greeted by stars Akira Kubo and Jun Tazaki.

In spring of 1968, while ''Destroy all Monsters'' was in production, the Imperial Theater of London was staging a production Oliver in Tokyo and one of the plays child stars known only as Michael was a big Godzilla fan and he wanted to visit Toho. But he could not because his commitment to the play would not allow him. Toho surprised him with a visit from the monsters and actress Yukiko Kobayashi.

At the climatic battle at Mount Fuji, Haruo Nakajima wanted Godzilla to reprise his “jumping shie” from ''Invasion of Astro Monster'' (1965), but Ishiro Honda removed it from the final film.

===Special effects===
New monster suits for Godzilla and [[Anguirus]] were constructed for the film, while [[Rodan]], Kumonga, Minilla, Gorosaurus, Manda, Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah suits were modified from previous films, with King Ghidorah having less detail than he had in previous films.{{sfn|Ryfle|1998|p=147}}

There were 3 different scales of the Moonlight SY-3 created or the film. The largest was 1 meter (3 feet) long used mainly used for shots of the spaceship flying across the surface of the Moon, landing and taking off, and for battle with the Fire Dragon (UFO). The core of the model was solid wood with surface details made of balsa wood and molded fiber glass with puddy and paint used to disguise the wood grain and the seams. This model had collapsible wings, functional landing gear and fully firing engines. A 50&nbsp;cm version was made for use for the booster stage and a 30&nbsp;cm version was made for perspective flying shots. Both smaller versions were made of balsa wood covered in putty and paint.

For the scene when Gorosaurus comes out of the ground (through a tunnel presumably dug by Baragon) under the [[Arc de Triomphe]], the floor of the set was six and half feet above the ground with the arc built on top of it. A forklift was brought in under the set and the monster was put on the forklift. They then raised the monster up through the ground by raising the forklift.

The fire trap set by the Kilaaks to trap the Moonlight SY-3 used real flamethrowers. Fire retardant materials were used in the rock walls in the crater.

===Deleted Scene===
After attacking New York, Godzilla was to arrive in London and fight Manda but the scene was cut. The scene release in the 1990s included bonus features of the film’s Japanese LaserDisc. Stunt performers fighting for fun a way of goofing off between takes, director Ishirô Honda said "why was the scene is cut? Because it doesn't makes sense of wise story, Godzilla and Manda were being mind-controlled by their same 
as villains, they wouldn’t just start fighting each other. It wasn’t a great fight by any means, since Manda is one of the few monsters in the franchise that Godzilla never fought and appeared in two films with Godzilla, yet they didn’t battle in any of them."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/destroy-all-monsters-deleted-scene-godzilla-vs-manda/|title=The Monsterverse Can Do The Epic Godzilla Fight That This Deleted Scene Robbed Us Of 55 Years Ago|date=21 October 2023|last=Sherlock|first=Ben}}</ref>

===Critical response===
From contemporary reviews, both ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' and ''[[Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' noted the film's best scenes involved the monsters together, while criticising the filmmaking. ''Variety'' reviewed the English-dubbed version of the film stating that it may appeal to "Sci-fi addicts and monster fans" while stating that the "plot is on comic strip level, special effects depend on obvious miniatures and acting (human) is from school of ''[[Flash Gordon]]''" and that the film's strength relied on its "monster rally".{{sfn|Willis|1985|p=246|ps=: "Review is of 88 minute English-language version viewed on May 23, 1969"}} The ''[[Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' opined that "the model work is poor, and as usual the script is junior comic-strip".<ref name="mfb-dam">{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Monthly Film Bulletin]]|title=Kaiju Soshingeki (Destroy All Monsters)|page=267|volume=36|issue=420|year=1969|publisher=[[British Film Institute]]|location=London|issn=0027-0407}}</ref> Both reviews mentioned the monsters' final scene with ''Variety'' commenting that it was "clever" and the ''Monthly Film Bulletin'' stating that "apart from [the monsters] statutory devastation of world capitals [...] the monsters have disappointingly little to do until they get together in the last reel for a splendid battle"{{sfn|Willis|1985|p=246|ps=: "Review is of 88 minute English-language version viewed on May 23, 1969"}}<ref name="mfb-dam" /> The ''Monthly Film Bulletin'' commented that the film was "almost worth sitting through the banalities for the final confrontation on Mount Fuji" noting the son of Godzilla "endearingly applauding from a safe distance" and "the victorious monsters performing a celebratory jig".<ref name="mfb-dam" />

From retrospective reviews, Steve Biodrowski of ''[[Cinefantastique]]'' commented that the film "is too slim in its storyline, too thin in its characterizations, to be considered a truly great film [...] But for the ten-year-old living inside us all, it is entertainment of the most awesome sort."<ref>{{cite web|last=Steve|first=Biodrowski|date=11 April 2009|title=Destroy All Monsters (1968) – Kaiju Review|url=http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/2009/04/11/destroy-all-monsters-1968-kaiju-review/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810185333/http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/2009/04/destroy-all-monsters-1968-kaiju-review/|archive-date=10 August 2013|access-date=26 January 2017|work=[[Cinefantastique]]}}</ref> Matt Paprocki of ''[[Blogcritics]]'' said the film is "far from perfect" and "can be downright boring at times" but felt that "the destruction scenes make up for everything else" and "the final battle is an epic that simply can't be matched".<ref>{{cite web|last=Paprocki|first=Matt|date=6 July 2004|title=Destroy All Monsters DVD Review|url=http://blogcritics.org/video/article/destroy-all-monsters-dvd-review/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161117212524/http://blogcritics.org/destroy-all-monsters-dvd-review/|archive-date=17 November 2016|access-date=26 January 2017|website=[[Blogcritics]]}}</ref>
