This colorful, no-holds-barred clash of the titans -- directed by Inoshiro Honda (one of monsterdom's foremost experts) -- features nearly all of Japan's ground-pounding superstars, including Godzilla (and son), Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah... and even tosses in Anzilla, Baragon, Goro, Wendra, Spiga and Varan for the explosive climax. The setup involves a race of evil aliens known as Kilaaks, who release the world's population of giant monsters from their quarantine on Monster Island, employing powerful mind-control devices on the monsters as part of their master plan for subjugating humanity. When the secret equipment used for this purpose is discovered beneath Mount Fuji and destroyed, the aliens make a last-ditch attempt at reclaiming their foothold by summoning three-headed Ghidorah from space -- but by then, Godzilla and the other city-stompers have rallied together to defend the Earth from the alien menace. Released in Japan as Kaiju Soshingeki, this is one of Honda's more colorful monster extravaganzas, and a must-see for fans of the genre.

Another Japanese film using aliens controlling Earth monsters

I have looked for this Destroy All Monsters film which features King of Monsters Gojiro aka Godzilla but in a rare appearance as a villain monster but not his fault this time. If you recall he, Mothra and Rodin are all guardian monsters along w/ Sisar. As I said I have been after the English dubbed version of this film. I already have 3 copies of it w/ English subtitles so when I found this one at Zeus for $10 I flipped. The cool part of the film is when the aliens who are all kawaii lovely ladies are finally forced to appear in their true forms which require tremendous heat to survive on Earth. Suffice it to say that the aliemns are quite small in reality and bring w/ them the space monster King Ghidorah! A great film you need not be afraid to let the kiddies watch as well!
