In the real world
- The Return of Godzilla is released on December 15 in Japan, ending the hiatus of the Godzilla franchise started in 1975.
In the Godzilla series
- A second Godzilla emerges. The creature first attacks a Japanese fishing boat, then a Soviet nuclear sub before finally arriving in Japan and attacking a nuclear power plant. The 80 meter monster then raids Tokyo and begins to tear the city apart. The J.S.D.F. launches the Super X, an aerial battle mech, to fight the monster, but it is destroyed. Godzilla is then lured to the rim of the volcanic Mt. Mihara, where an eruption is triggered that seals the creature within the volcano. (The Return of Godzilla)
