Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, released March 21, 1974, is the 14th film in the Godzilla franchise. It was released in a very limited run in the U.S. in 1977. Cinema Shares released the movie as Godzilla vs the Bionic Monster, but Universal Television threatened to sue them for the use of the word 'bionic' because Universal owned The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman so Cinema Shares changed the name to Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster.
The film is the first appearance of King Caesar, the guardian of an ancient Japanese family. He is awakened to help Godzilla defeat Mechagodzilla, who has been sent by the Aliens from the Third Planet of the Black Hole to conquer Earth.
It starred veteran Godzilla actors Akihiko Hirata and Kenji Sahara.
