Godzilla: The Series.

[Jarrah White]

Did anyone see this show? It came out in 1999, it was a TV that took off where the 98 film left off. I have every episode on tape (I must download them to DVD someday). Anyone else saw it? At the time it was my favorite program. For those of you unfamiliar with this show, The Series holds the plot of radiation scientist Nick "Worm Guy" Tactopolous (The lead character from the film played by Mathew Broadwick) stumbling apon a Godzilla egg at the Madision Square Gardan ruins, Godzilla Jr hatches but rather than attacking Nick, it imprints him as his mother. The show had Godzilla Jr fight a number of enemies including mutant worms, mutant insects, robots, bio experiments, mutant snakes, militaries, Lock Ness monster, mutant turtles (Yes turtles), aliens and my personal favorite Cyborg Godzilla, Jr's daddy brought back to life with alien cyborg technolgy. I once made a Cyborg Godzilla figure of my own, bought a Godzilla toy a decorated it with tin foil, lasers and other cool things, it still sits in my bedroom. Back to the topic at hand, the show ran for two seasons, shame really as a third was an order, if they ever do make a sequel to the 1998 movie, I hope it takes off after the TV show.

Never watched it, I hate anything to do with the new movie and it's "universe"

[Splinter]

The Godzilla Movia that was made in the US, was a god-awful abomination of the name Godzilla. Especially the end, with all the lil baby Godzillas. Lame, lame, lame. :roll: :sleep:

Now that's more like it. Yes it was funny, I like how Randy kept reprogramming the N.I.G.E.L. to annoy the hell out of Dr. Craven :lol:

[Combat Cold Cuts]

the only thing about the new godzilla I like is the new Lizard design. but the rest was horrible. the whole concept of godzilla is horrible. whoever thought of that idea....well... I cant say it on this website. And, um...has anybody seen the live action dragonball series? beacuse they have the same bad medeocricy. same bad dubbing too.

[PizzaPower]

The Shoiw sucked!!!

[Dane E5R]

I thought that show was awesome.. N.I.G.E.L got destroyed in every episode. :lol:

[Anarky]

I liked it a lor. The theme song was great too. anybody got it as mp3 or something?

and btw. was it really made by the same guys as MiB the series. The artwork 8r whatever you call that) is very similar.

[TigerClaw]

I loved the Godzilla series, That whole thing with N.I.G.E.L. being destroyed on every episode was a great running gag. :lol:

[RskimB]

Godzilla was cool show, i was pissed when it was canceled

[ZariusTwo]

Godzilla: The Series was heavily underated and one of the last great cartoons of the late 90's, it was on the level of the X-Files, with goverment conspiracys, recurring villians, and the Monsters had reasons to exist.

The three-part "Destroy All Monsters" was classic, with the culmination of the Alien story-arc and Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla, that was a perfect way to end the seires, but they showed some episodes after it, even though they were not in production order.

[cqb101]

The show was alright, but the movie sucked.....

[ZariusTwo]

Noone will complain there buddy

Yes it was made by the same guys who made the Men In Black cartoon and are the same people who animate the new TMNT cartoon.

[Jarrah White]

I remember I used to watch it with my Godzilla action figure.

[Voltron]

I like the 70's Godzilla cartoon. With Godzuki

"GODZILLA! GODZILLA! GODZILLA! And Godzooooooookyyyyyyyyyyy..."

[That Matt Guy]

I didn't think they would make a TV show based on a piss poor movie. But then again they did make a Stargate show.

[Jarrah White]

Okay, what does everybody hate the 98 movie for?

[ZariusTwo]

You remind me of Hilary from Beyblade V-Force

Anway, Godzilla '98 was NOT a tribute to the classic original Godzilla movies, it was Jurassic Park all over again with a giant Lizard attacking New York, and being killed by a FEW MISSILES

Where was King Ghidroah? where was Mecah-Godzilla?

NOWHERE.

The film was a major rip-0ff, an insult to the REAL fans, and even the Japanese hated it, the cartono was way better because it did exactly what the movie DID'NT do

[Voltron]

The Original Godzilla is the only Godzilla. Period.

[Dontebell]

hey why they didn't bring godzilla:the series out on DVD?

[The Stryker]

did anyone else notice that in the 70s show theme song, godzilla's height changed?

"He's 7 stories High he reaches for the sky....GODZILLA!!"

then..

"He's 50 stories High He reaches for the sky....GODZILLA!!"

either the show had some problems or godzilla had some weird growthspurts inbetween episodes

[MikesPizzaShack]

man the american godzilla movie sucked bad. thats y jap came back with Godzilla 2000. they got so mad at us and took it as the biggest diss any1 could ever dish out. i dont blame them. but the cartoon was kewl and i was sad when it got canceld...the guy who wrote the american version of the movie should be shot skinned and used as a costume for a monster in a jap Godzilla movie

[Jarrah White]

Godzilla 2000? Never seen that!

GODZILLAAAAAAAA AAHHHHHH!

Thank you.

[MikesPizzaShack]

ya Godzilla 2000 was awsome but there was something missing. it just didnt have that classic feel to it but a great movie non-the-less. should check it out. another great movie was "the last" godzilla movie well ya it was the last untill Godzilla 2000 came out but its called "Godzilla Vs Destoya" heres a spoilerr for you so if you dont wanna know stop reading. now....Godzillas Jr. dies and so does Godzilla Senior. Since Godzilla Seniors body is filled w/ radioactive crap or what ever it is that made him what he is hes bassicly going into meltdown after being around for so long cuz organic bodys wernt ment to be toxic like that and live. Destorya is the new monster and a kina virus thingy...(i havent watched the movie in yrs so my memory isnt all ther) but to make a long story short. Gozilla Jr gets all head strong and trysto kill Destoya to only get killed himself. then Godzilla Senior gets mad and runs out of time and blows up w/ Destoya killing the both of them but then out of the ashes and fire Godzilla Jr comes back to life from the Radiation that his father had makeing him filly mautre and look like his father but a bit more cooler...and i belive that thats the same Godzilla in Godzilla 2000 it would have to be but that was never said so im not sure.

[Ninjatron]

Godzilla 2000 isn't Godzilla Jr. It's a brand new story that has nothing to do with any other movies except the original. Two more G movies should be released soon on DVD in North America and they also have nothing to do with any other movies except the original.

It would make a lot of sence for G2K to be Jr, but that's not the route they chose to go. Remember that in that movie everyone was so shocked by the UFO. However if G2K was another in a long line of sequels, then a UFO wouldn't really be anything out of the ordinary.

Sayonara.

[MikesPizzaShack]

oh ok kewl thanx for the update and what 2 Godzilla movies are coming out cuz all of the old Godzilla movies have been finnaly releaszed the last few were finnaly brought to america in the late 90's...thats how i got Godzilla vs Destroya since that was "the last" movie. but it was only on VHS.

[Dontebell]

i saw two new godzilla movie on the sci-fi channel.

[Ninjatron]

Godzilla vs Megagurias and Godzilla - Mothra - King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack will both be released very shortly.

Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla 2002 and Godzilla - Mothra - MechaGodzilla have also been made, but they are only available in Japan right now. GMMG will be released to theaters over there very soon.

Sayonara.

a UFO is always out of the ordinary. If you can't identify it, then its not normal.

[Ninjatron]

If people have already been attacked by monsters and aliens like King Ghidorah and Space Godzilla, then a UFO is nothing special. But in Godzilla 2000, none of the events of the previous movies (except the original) had happened. Which means people have never been attacked by an alien invasion, so the UFO is more of a threat. If G2K was in continuity with the other films of the Heisei series, then I assure you that the military's reaction would have been much different.

The line went something like this (I'm paraphrasing here):
"A UFO? It's too imposible to believe!"
"Yeah, like Godzilla's normal."

One of the best lines of the film!

Can't argue with that

hey check this out everyone

Godzilla... now, the 1999 movie I actually tried to watch on TV... I tried! I really really tried! But It sucked... actually suck isn't even a strong enough word. It was out and out downright (Major explitive delelted) ! Seriously... they should have called this "Jurassic Park 2 1/2, the smell of dino crap" or something.

I never even bothered with the cartoon, but Columbia has done some great stuff before...

Anyway, I once sw part of the 70's cartoon years ago on cartoon Network (Before Toonami was just that overedited unwatchable version of DBZ... give be an unedited bootleg anyday!) and I though to myself... what in the hell is this? It was just too eird, even as far as 60-70's Hannah Barberra action cartoons went...

But seriously. American movies cannot even capture the shear weirdness of Japanese giant monsters attacking the city movies.... well... hey did have King Kong back in the 30's....

[Jarrah White]

I just rewatched those episodes of Godzilla: The Series I recorded. I had forgotten how cool they were until now. Ah, 1999, those were the days. Also I saw Godzilla vs King Ghidroah a while back on SBS. I see what everybody likes about the old Godzilla movies, though I don't speak Japanese.

[Taloniss]

Did we need to bump this thread?

[Jarrah White]

What's so wrong with that?

I haven't seen the Godzilla TV show in three years, watching those tapes brought back a few memories.

[That Matt Guy]

This thread is like 4 months old.

[redsai4lex]

Yes... I used to tape all the episodes too...
until my vcr broke right before pt.3 of all that alien crap...

(if I recall correctly, it was the best episode of the 3...)

any way I still have all that on tape... except pt.3

I also remember plenty of episodes that I saw after that...
(which was not recorded, thanks to me spilling cereal on the vcr,
also messing up one of my old WMAC Masters tape, that Zane ended up repairing...)

[Jarrah White]

Fortunatly I have Part 3 on video.

I recorded all the episodes off the telly. And yet I wonder, looking at the episode list at all the websites it lists an episode called "Area 51". In which Godzilla and the H.E.A.T. Team go there and battle mutants. I don't think that episode ever aired. There were forty episodes in total, guess I'll have to count how many I've got.

[cqb101]

I picked up the 98 movie on DVD for 5 bucks, watched it again, and it wasn't all that bad.....I really liked the godzilla design. Tho, the end did turn into Jurassic Park....Oh well.....
