Rebirth of Mothra 2 (1997)  Company: Columbia/Tristar Home Video (1998)  Country: United States  Category: Slip Cover Released at the same time as its predecessor, the second entry of the infamous Mothra trilogy sees what is easily the ugliest cover of any Heisei era movie. It features a shot of Dagahra's head emerging from horrid looking water as helicopters and a battleship (weapons not once seen in the movie and likely lifted from one of the Heisei Godzilla movies) surround him. Nilai Kanai tower explodes in the background while Aqua Mothra and Rainbow Mothra fly about at the top, giving the movie a false image that there are two different Mothras fighting Dagahra. The sides both feature a red background, the movie's title, and a shot of Dagahra's head on one and Aqua Mothra's on the other. The back gives an accurate synopsis and is decorated with images of Dagahra and Rainbow Mothra.
