Only now does it occur to me... GODZILLA VS. MEGALON

Only now does it occur to me...  that the clear highlight of GODZILLA VS. MEGALON, and perhaps human civilization to this point, is the moment when anthropomorphic, steel-masked robot Jet Jaguar holds back the arms of giant cicada Megalon so that Godzilla may effortlessly administer a lethargic, full-supine, tail-dragging high kick to Megalon's torso.  Twice.
I have preserved this moment for posterity.

EDIT:  In light of YouTube's desire to censor the glorious madness that is this 42 second clip from GODZILLA VS. MEGALON, I shall do my best to recreate it via screencapture.  You will have to imagine the Godzilla roar sound effects and rootin'-tootin', goofy, mock-heroic music yourselves.

Jet Jaguar and Godzilla regard their weakened adversary.


Godzilla nonverbally indicates that Jet Jaguar ought to hold Megalon's arms behind his back.


Jet Jaguar complies with Godzilla's request.


Godzilla begins a lethargic, full supine, tail-dragging high kick.

Godzilla continues his lethargic, full supine, tail-dragging high kick.


Godzilla lands his lethargic, full supine, tail-dragging high kick.

Godzilla then repeats the action using largely recycled footage:



 
and Megalon suffers the aftereffects.
