Re: Godzilla

I remember a shop near me that sold all kinds of tat when I was a kid, all kinds of cheap and nasty toys, keyrings, inflatables (kids variety), bangers, cap guns and other assorted junk. They kept all the toys in big, wiccer baskets and this particular basket was brimming with these movie monster-type creatures. The tags on them were japanese but I could just about make out 'Godzilla' on them, the ones I picked out must have been two of Zilla's enemies, didn't have a clue who they were but they looked cool enough.

Re: Godzilla

The Guardian gave away a DVD of the original Godzilla film, with the original soundtrack & subtitles.

Quite powerful, even if some of the model scenes are fairly ropey.

Thats for sure mate.
When it comes to these type of films the japanese are the best.

The japanese seem to have a certain nack fior doing these films mate.
that godzilla that was done a few yrs back wasjust disappointing.

the godzilla films like godzilla v mothra and others are just so very good.

Re: Godzilla

The American movie wasn't fantastic but it was decent, agree about the effects looking a bit past it now though. Love the soundtrack too!

Anybody remember BBC2 doing a monster-themed saturday night around 1998ish? I'm sure they had Jonathan Ross hosting it and they had one of the Japanese Godzilla movies to round the night off with.

Re: Godzilla

Godzilla toys were real cool back when I was a kid.I had a small hard plastic Godzilla with movable arms and legs I think I also had Rodan as well.I had this thing for dinosaurs as a kid and Godzilla hit all the right buttons especially the fight scenes in the films.Well why else watch a godzilla film if it was not for the fight scenes.Always over the top with man in rubber suit going stomp roar stomp.I suppose to watch the films now you still have to be a big kid at heart as they can be a bit silly in places,but boy are they fun.My favourite film these days is the uncut Japanese version of the first film released in 1954.I have been eyeing up a nice box collection of Godzilla films over the last few months which keeps calling out BUY ME.
I often wondered what happened to my old Godzilla toys?

Re: Godzilla

Pretty sure i had some godzilla toys myself.

but i love the old japanese godzilla films.

films such as.
godzilla v mothra
gozdilla v the cosmic monster
godzilla v mechagodzilla.

they actually still make them even now.

those ones i mean are from the seventies and eighties but i think they go back much further mate.
