Godzilla is Japan's greatest and most popular screen monster: a 400-foot tall prehistorical reptile. He has become a legend in his time. In thirteen film appearances to date he has grossed over $130 million outside Japan; the Japanese domestic grosses swell that sum vastly. [...] The beast's most recent screen appearance — this time in a speaking role—was in Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) in which he and a man-made robot defeat Megalon and its ally, Gigan.
  109. "Godzilla now does well by doing Japan good". La Crosse Tribune. June 14, 1974. p. 27. Retrieved 22 May 2020. He is still going strong after starring in 13 movies that have brought his maker $130 million in foreign exchange.
