Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
"Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II" was released theatrically in Japan on December 11, 1993. It was released directly to pay-per-view satellite television in the United States in 1998 by Sony Pictures Television. The film was promoted as the last film in the franchise's Heisei series, and was also promoted by a children's television program called "Adventure! Godzilland 2". Although "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II" was not the final entry in the Heisei series, as it was followed by "Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla" in 1994, Toho producers initially wished to avoid competing with TriStar's then-upcoming "Godzilla" reboot.
