Nomination Year: 2006

SYNOPSIS: Planet X is found hidden behind Jupiter, and an international team of astronauts is dispatched. They discover that Planet X is being terrorized by Monster Zero (aka Gidora). Fortunately, the aliens have a plan that will save them if they can just get some help from Earth (see MLP below). Unfortunately, the whole thing is just a scam so they can mind control Gidora, Godzilla, and Rodan, and use them to conquer the Earth.

Smithee Award Nominations

Most Ludicrous Premise
May We Borrow a Cup of Godzilla, Neighbor? The aliens want to borrow Godzilla and Rodan to come to Planet X and fight Gidora.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Special Effect
The Monster in the Plastic Bubble Flying saucers deliver Godzilla and Rodan to Planet X. In bubbles.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Stupidest-Looking Monster
Battle on Planet X! There is a fight between Godzilla, Rodan, and Gidora. Working together, Rodan and Godzilla are able to drive off Gidora, and then ... Godzilla does a touchdown dance.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Science
We Call Them "BS" Waves The aliens are controlling the monsters with magnetic waves. But we can use the A-cycle light-ray to block the magnetic waves and free the monsters, if we can just figure out the exact frequency range the aliens are using. Or something.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Picture
Giant Monster Fight! With the aliens defeated, the newly freed monsters turn on each other. The Godzilla-Gidora match is kinda fun, but Rodan fights like a girl. And I don't mean that in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer kind of way.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Ishirô Honda	Arguably the father of Godzilla -- in a metaphorical sense. If there's a giant rubber Japanese monster hanging around, he's probably the guy pointing the camera at it.
