Welcome to the original Kaiju universe. Gojira is a masterpiece of the genre

I'm 63 and grew up watching these "late night" movies with my Grandpa. He owned a diner that stayed open until 4:am, and I would work there every Friday and Saturday night from the time I was 10 year's old. Peeling 50 pound's of potatoes; washing dishes, then as a cook. Now I'm the same age he was when he died. To be young again! I love watching you react to these "classic's". You give the respect that I don't see in other reactor's. In general, any of them under 40 don't know anything about history, and will laugh all through a movie like "Saving Private Ryan" It's just sad....

Godzilla started as a villain but gradually became a hero in the later films, then in the 90s he became villain again and became a antihero. Then in the early 2000s he which between hero, villain and antihero.

Japan wasn't the one's who dropped the H-bombs on godzilla it was the Americans testing their bombs in the Pacific.

This movie was made 10 years after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

The wrinkled skin on Godzilla was intended to represent scars over his entire body from radiation burns

One thing I learn from this movie, is just because you drop depth charges on Godzilla, doesn’t mean it is over, and also bad idea to be on a ocean liner, cause Godzilla is still out there

This movie was more than just some b rated monster movie. It had a moral message, it had revolutionary effects for the time and it spawned a multimillion franchise.

Favorite shots of godzilla 10:50....remember he's not cute or cuddly people he is the face of our own Nightmares come to life...thank God this is just a movie.. ..

Godzilla, or at least his species, is prehistoric. The old man talking about him is also a way to heighten the mystery of him and ad myth and legend, which is what they did in 2014 too.

Godzilla Was a Newborn Baby Who Was Trying to Find His Deceased Family Who Were Killed By Bomb Testing in The Pacific Ocean. Poor Baby.

[donovandelaney]

That's how movies should be made. Practical Effects!

The singing was a prayer from the nation's children.

[SpielkindFR]

Imagine watching his expecting the same campy, fun kind of experience the later Godzilla movies would be.

[Billinois]

There's a metal band from France called Gojira, named after the original name of the movie/monster before it was renamed Godzilla for the American market. That's why you hear Japanese actors pronounce it that way, because they're using the original name.
Gojira comes from a combination of the Japanese translation for "gorilla" (gorira), and kujira, the Japanese word for "whale." The name is said to have been chosen to represent the size and strength of both animals
The English name "Godzilla" combines "God" with "lizard". Again, "God" for the size and strength.

[RetroRobotRadio]

That the reason why they are reluctant to use the Oxygen Destroyer. It will kill all life in Tokyo Bay along with Godzilla.

[himajinkazutaka]

Dr. Serizawa burned his research data to prevent it from being used and killed Godzilla in exchange for his own life.

[IanFindly-ivnl]

The original and the best. I will always take it over any of the subsequent movies - either those silly kiddie-oriented ""Vrs"" films or some overblown post 2000 Hollywood CGI orgy.

[TKDragon]

They literally made the sequal the next year after. Like you think because it's such a classic, sequals would have came a while later. But nah, they waited like a few months at most.

[Filbi]

There are a lot of good Godzilla movies but I still think this is the very best.

And yeah, the original Godzilla dies in the first movie. All the other movies from #2 up until the series was rebooted in the 80s star a different member of Godzilla's species, who is more of a friend to humans.

[christopherbaldwin]

For reference, 50, 000 volt's is what a tazer will give you! It's not the volt's that kill you, it's how many amp's. In which case it only take's a few thousand's of 1 amp to kill a grown man!

[USCTROJANFAN]

Don't want to spoil the fun but the scene where you see Godzilla peaking over the mountain was a hand puppet
