The second in the Mothra trilogy, Rebirth of Mothra II, released December 13, 1997 in Japan, pitted everyone's favorite big bug monster against the evil Dagahra. Clearly a children's film, three kids try to find an undersea city Lost Treasure of Nilai Kinai to restore Earth's environment which is failing.
However, the rampant pollution has created Dagahra, who might be too powerful for Mothra. It's sort of a remake of Godzilla vs the Smog Monster (Hedorah) but much better. The movie of the G-Man's battle against a monster created from pollution had plot holes you could drive a Mack truck through, editing problems that almost seemed like someone with severe ADD had completed it, and just overall WTF?
Rebirth of Mothra II is silly but fun. It's great to see Mothra in her own movies and showing off some beefed-up powers!
