Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (ゴジラvsデストロイア, 1995) is a Toho sci-fi kaiju film you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Takao Okawara, it closes out the Heisei era with a premise few monster movies have the nerve to attempt: Godzilla himself is dying, his body burning toward nuclear meltdown from the inside out.

While scientists scramble to prevent a radioactive catastrophe, something else crawls up from the ocean floor — organisms spawned by the Oxygen Destroyer, the very weapon that killed the original Godzilla back in 1954. They merge into a single creature of terrifying size, and its rampage through Japan runs parallel to Godzilla's own countdown. Neither side is a hero. Little Godzilla gets caught in the middle, and that thread gives the climax a weight that surprised even longtime franchise fans.

Toho promoted this as the definitive end of Godzilla, and the meltdown sequence became one of the most discussed set pieces in the series' long history. Stream Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995) online on iFILM.
