Rescue Wings
Writer
Masaki Tezuka‘s live-action adaptation of “Rescue Wings” deviates from the original by centering around a female rookie pilot played by 16-year-old actress (only 15 at the time of filming) Yuko Takayama. After her mother is saved, Haruka Kawashima joins an elite air rescue team and decides she wants to become the first female pilot of a UH-60J (Japanese version of the Black Hawk) rescue helicopter. She goes through harsh, rigorous training and must overcome her emotions for the serious job of saving lives. After several mistakes she’s bluntly told she’s not good enough to be a rescue pilot, but the conflict only makes her more determined. One day, an F-15J fighter plane goes missing from radar and Kawashima receives the distress call. On reserve fuel and the struggling against all odds, she must accomplish her mission at any cost.

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.
Screenplay
En el film anterior, se había conseguido derrotar a un nuevo Godzilla gracias a un gigantesco robot muy similar al monstruo: el Mechagodzilla o Kiryu, que ahora está en proceso de reparación. Mientras tanto, las diminutas gemelas de la Isla Infante (hogar de Mothra) proporcionan al doctor Chujo una información de vital importancia: Kiryu ha sido construido con los huesos del Godzilla original, y el espíritu del monstruo no descansará hasta que sus restos regresen al mar. Chujo se pone en contacto con el Gobierno para que destruyan el proyecto Kiryu, porque Mothra, en cuanto reaparezca Godzilla, defenderá de nuevo el Japón, pero ministros y militares desoyen la advertencia. Y el gigante verde vuelve a aparecer en Tokio, desatando una oleada de destrucción. Pronto tendrá lugar el enfrentamiento entre Godzilla y Mothra, que cuenta con la ayuda del robot gigante, aunque no está totalmente reparado.

Director
En su búsqueda de alimento radioactivo, Godzilla ha destruido ciudades y plantas nucleares Japonesas a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

Abduction
Assistant Director
The film opens with kidnappers of a corporate executive making an unusual ransom demand: that a wizened executive from another company haul large bags of money through downtown Tokyo as the media documents his every move. When the first old man almost dies from exhaustion, a second, and eventually a third elderly corporate fat cat is ordered to do the same. The police detective assigned to the case (Tetsuya Watari) and his younger partner (Masatoshi Nagase) are livid with indignation at this sorry spectacle. They learn that these four men were involved in a massive industrial spill that poisoned an entire rural hamlet 20 years previous. Suddenly, the detective -- who studied in the States and apparently absorbed some John Wayne-like mannerisms in the process -- isn't sure who are the victims and who are the villains.
