Honest John Missile Launcher

The Honest John Missile Launcher is a ballistic missile launcher which first appeared in the 1956 film Rodan.

Rodan
After the two Rodans destroyed the city of Fukuoka, it was discovered that they were hiding inside the crater of Mount Aso. The J.S.D.F. sent several Honest John Missile Launchers to the crater, and trained them on the crater wall. The launchers were fired, creating a small earthquake which caused the volcano to erupt and forcing the giant Pterosaurs to take to the air. Another Honest John missile struck one of the two and sent them falling into the lava flow, with the second joining it soon afterwards in grief, unable to live without its partner.
