The Unofficial Godzilla Fan Appreciation Thread
 

I'm not certain if there was a thread created for this subject and I'm too lazy to check so I decided just to start one up regardless. Please don't hurt me!

Anyways, is there anyone who had the chance to check out GxM and GMK on Sci Fi? I hear the conversions were quite lackluster compared to the original Japanese versions. Not that that surprises me one bit. Dubs are usually not as good as the originals.

Godzilla vs King Kong is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Godzilla is supposed to be tall enough to step on Kong.

I LOVE GOJIRA-SAN!!!

He's my absolute hero!

But, was I alone in hating the crappy american remake?

Huge Godzilla fan, it was awefull what they did to GMK and GxM on Sci Fi. They freakin' edited out 35 minutes out of each film, wasn't this supposed to be those movies big American premeir? The best scene from GMK was edited out: the mushroom cloud scene! That's one of the most talked about parts of the movie!

I love Godzilla Movies, especially the old ones (but the newer one's are pretty cool too). Godzilla 1998 was entertaining, but still a disappointment.

I especially like that scene in one of the old Godzilla movies where Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra sit down for a conference and Mothra tries to convince them to fight King Ghidorah. I forgot what movie that was in, but it's great when you see them speaking MONSTER. :D

Actually, King Kong was increased in size to accomodate Godzilla's height.

I have to admit, at first I liked GINO (Godzilla In Name Only) but I have since seen seen it for what it is, a ripoff of Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Jurassic Park. It's just unfortunate that Godzilla's name had to be attached to this unoriginal dreck. GINO is nothing like the real Godzilla. I mean since when did Godzilla run from the military? And all those years of Jet Misssiles ineffectually hitting Godzilla, and that is the very thing that leads to GINO's death. As they say in the Japanese version of GMK:
"That was Godzilla, right?"
"They say so in America, but not in Japan."

Now, the movie you are referring to is Ghidrah the Three Headed Monster. That is one of the Goji flicks I do not own, and I own an awful lot. ;)

Perhaps they thought the Mushroom Cloud scene would be too controversial to show on American TV considering the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by American planes in WWII.

I think the worst thing are the lines they altered like the pink haired girl never told them they were going to die. She was merely translating what her Chinese Friend said. That and when they accidentally got Ghidorah with the missile, they never celebrated it.

I agree there. Only I never did like GINO. The first words out of my mouth were "Well, that was stupid!". But what do you expect from the idiots that made ID4, another crappy movie! If there's any justice in this world, then they have lost enough money on 8 Legged Freaks that they are now homeless!!!

I doubt that.

The Greatest Designed Kaiju Never Used In A Godzilla Movie

You never know.

HOLY CRAP! BAGAN IS AWESOME!!! :D

I like Mothra. :D .

Godzilla is more of a religion to me than a series of movies. Of course, girls never understand my love of giant robots and monsters.

I've seen several movies of the famous Radated Dinosaur himself.

Does anyone like the Gozilla: Destroy all Monsters Game.

For me I like the intro. And I like using Agurus.

My Friend's Brother likes the series and knows alot about the movies.

I like the song Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult.

more proof that we live in a sad sad world. :cry:

Is it possible to have a discussion about Godzilla without talking about GINO?

Destroy all Monsters Melee is such a cool game. Always great for a release when you just gotta smash something!

Sayonara.

I'm really thinking about creating a petition to lobby Toho to make Bagan an opponent for a future Goji flick. I mean the costume is already there so they wouldn't have to do much. Stay posted for the link should I decide to create the petition.
