The fourth film in the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise, ''Mothra vs. Godzilla'' (initially released in the states as ''Godzilla vs. The Thing'') marked a brief snap-back in the franchise. While the previous film went on to become the highest grossing entry of all time, it was more of an action adventure film with some comedic touches more prominent in the Japanese version. ''Mothra vs. Godzilla'' brings back a scarier, antagonistic Godzilla, who terrorizes Japan, with the only hope being another Creator/{{Toho}} superstar: Film/{{Mothra}}. Known as ''Mosura tai Gojira'' in Japan.The movie was directed by ''Creator/IshiroHonda.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The original American marketing for ''Mothra vs. Godzilla'' renamed the movie to ''Godzilla vs. The Thing'', [[https://preview.redd.it/itr5163prlo51.jpg?auto=webp&s=bb4b1a31e0221e3607668854018c7659698f6d58 teased on posters]] as a tentacled monstrosity so horrifically obscene it had to be censored for the sake of the faint-hearted. But more likely, the distributors didn't want to admit Godzilla's opponents were a bunch of giant moths (which are actually peaceful and not even slightly scary) in the actual film. Later home video releases re-instated the original title.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* UpToEleven: A less common example of this being a bad thing. The commander orders the technicians to raise the voltage of the lighting generators, even after they warn him about the capacity overload. Cue all the circuitry breaking down and Godzilla breaking free.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: The film dreads towards cynicism due to having no way of defeating Godzilla. However, it ends on a rather high note as the Mothra twins manage to subdue him.
