History:

After his bad reaction to Godzilla vs the Smog Monster, Toho producer Tomoyuki Tanaka ordered that a new script be produced for the next Godzilla movie, this time featuring his classic foe, King Ghidorah. The Return of King Ghidorah was one of two scripts submitted and contained many of the elements that would later become Godzilla on Monster Island.
