Godzilla (1998) - Godzilla Rises Scene (1/10) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Godzilla emerges from the river to reign destruction upon New York City.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Dedicated to Tomoyuki Tanaka (1910-1997), who produced the 1954 original and sequels, the Devlin/Emmerich interpretation displays a redesign of Godzilla, now a large lizard mutated after fallout from French nuclear tests. A blinding flash of white light fills the Eastern sky. Thousands of miles away, the Pacific Ocean churns, engulfing a freighter. On another part of the globe, giant footsteps plow a path through miles of Panamanian forests, Tahitian villages, and Jamaican beaches. In the Ukraine, biologist Dr. Niko Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is examining the impact of radiation on Chernobyl earthworms. Colonel Hicks (Kevin Dunn) and a military team escort Niko to check out giant claw marks on the beached freighter; they're joined by paleontologists Elsie Chapman (Vicki Lewis) and Mendel Craven (Malcolm Danare). Blood and giant-size footprints indicate "some sort of enormous reptile." French secret agent Philippe Roache talks to the freighter's only survivor, who keeps repeating, "Gojira...Gojira." Tatopoulos et al arrive in Manhattan's Fulton Fish Market where Godzilla surfaces, moving on to the NYC financial district where Mayor Ebert (Michael Lerner) is speaking. Ambitious Audrey Timmonds (Maria Pitillo), who works for TV news anchor Charles Caiman (Harry Shearer), is Niko's former girlfriend, and she uses this to her professional advantage. As the wave of destruction continues, Niko and Roache track the creature through the evacuated city and discover Godzilla's eggs about to hatch in Madison Square Garden. They are followed by Audrey and TV cameraman Victor "Animal" Palotti (Hank Azaria), and soon the hatching Godzilla offspring prowl the Garden corridors, leading to a final showdown.

This old guy broke the World Record of largest catch

[ACE-lqgt]

younger me : feels sad for the old man
older me : still sad for the old man

[ParrotsAccount]

Everyone’s sad that the old man didn’t catch a fish, but at least he caught Godzilla

[shijoejoseph]

90s at its finest. Still epic! Rainy New York, filmed on film, actual sets with minimal effects. Decent!

[PowerCrunchVideos]

Is nobody gonna talk about how freaking strong that old man is for reeling in a 500 ton iguana to the surface on his 70 mile long fishing rod?

[clarencealdreypapa]

This was my very first Godzilla movie experience. I was just around 5yrs. old when this was released. This version of Godzilla will always stick to my mind. You hate it, I love it.

[patrickmahomes]

Don't care what anyone says I loved this Godzilla movie

[pratt]

Older movies are so nostalgic maybe its just me but the cinematography and music combined with the realistic environment truly creates something special

[REALbigpanda]

This movie came out when I was 8 years old. To this day, I still like to think the old man made it in time off that dock 😭

[willmaxwell]

I like that every wtf moment in this movie like "why tf didn't he notice the ground shaking" can be explained away with "new yorkers are just incredibly jaded"

[proantagonist]

Say what you want about this movie but you have to admit this scene is pretty iconic

[rdtelei]

in my opinion I liked this movie because it was my first Godzilla movie

[bootderek]

complain about the movie all you want, but there's no denying that this was a freaking awesome scene.

[NebuzaTrackz]

The late 90s is WAY cooler than now hands down

[haiderofbengal]

The first Godzilla movie I ever watched as a kid. Love this version and the animated show that came after.

[LuisMartinez-jkyo]

I was born in 98. this was my first exposure to godzilla and I still love it to this day

[akashsujato]

The old man held up The King of Monsters for 10 seconds. Hey old man!! You are an avenger now.

[RangerOkie]

My grandpa took me to see this movie when i was a kid … good memories. I miss him.

[WalrusWinking]

This movie is so much better than movies that come out today. Just in those 60 seconds or so we knew that old man who went fishing I cared more about him than main characters of some modern day movies.

[michaelrussell]

This really wasn't a bad film.

It wasn't really Godzilla; but it wasn't a bad film
