A bunch of Japanese fishermen mistake it for “Gojira” and the American (and French) government takes notice. They hire Matthew Broderick, an expert on mutated…stuff, to investigate some evidence of the giant iguana. Meanwhile, Sara Jessica Parker, his one-time girlfriend, tries to hook back up with him to get the scoop on the creature. Shortly after all that, though, Zilla makes himself known by rising from the ocean, in a blatant homage to Ray Harryhausen’s The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, and attacks Manhattan indiscriminately. Now, Matthew Broderick and Sara Jessica Parker must team-up with Hank Azaria to stop this enormous, building-humping menace before it has babies all over the place.
