The second film in the franchise, Godzilla Raids Again, was scripted, filmed, and released a mere 6 months after the original hit theaters in Japan. Nowadays it€™s not even possible for a sequel to a blockbuster to be made that quickly. Audiences saw through this obvious cash in, and the film, while not a total bomb, failed to satisfy, resulting in the series being put on ice for 7 years until King Kong vs. Godzilla in 1962.
