The sixth entry in the [[Godzilla]] franchise, ''Kaiju Daiseno'', initially released in the US as ''Monster Zero'', also known as ''Invasion of Astro-Monster'', ''Godzilla vs. Monster Zero'', ''Monster Zero'', and ''The Great Monster War'', is a sequel to ''[[Ghidorah, the Three
In either version, the movie begins with the P1, a World Space Authority spaceship, making its way to the newly discovered Planet X. On board the ship are astronauts Glenn (played by Nick Adams) and Fuji (played by Akira Takarada). After they arrive on Planet X, the astronauts discover that the planet has gravity similar to earth, and an atmosphere of some kind to boot. However, the planet is not as peaceful as it seems, and both astronauts witness lightning and thunder, before they meet the planet's inhabitants, the Xilians. The Xilians live inside of the planet, begin forced to do so because of Monster Zero, who Fuji and Glenn recognize as the dreaded King Ghidorah. The Xilians ask the Earth men for a favor: let them use Godzilla and Rodan to drive the terrible beast away, and in return they will give Earth a cure for cancer (or all diseases in the American version).

* [[Alien Invasion]]: OF COURSE!
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Tetsuo's annoying alarm. All it does is produce a high-pitched wail that makes people uncomfortable...and if they're aliens, then the effects are even more profound.
Line 32 ⟶ 29:
* [[Sonic Stunner]]: Tetsuo's Lady Guard Alarm, which was bought by a ''toy company''. It turns out to be instrumental to defeating the Xilians.
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: Even though they know that his device is dangerous to them, the Xilians never once check Tetsuo to see if he has his Lady Guard Alarm on his person after capturing him.
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: After killing Namikawa, the Xilians explain: "Our actions are controlled by super computers, not by human emotions. When that law is violated, the offender is eliminated."
