What did you do, Ray?

I just heard about Gogola (1966) for the first time, apparently it was the Bollywood knockoff Godzilla. Unfortunately it's considered lost media and all we have are a few production stills, some promo images and parts of the soundtrack

there's also the TOKYO 1960 pinoy version of gojira '54 which is similarly lost:



Tokyo 1960 is a 1957 kaiju film directed by Teodorico C. Santos and starring Tessie Quintana and Zaldy Zshornack. It is generally believed to be a Filipino version of Godzilla, with Filipino actors added to the film similar in technique to Godzilla, King of the Monsters!.[1][2] It is considered to be a lost film.

I was at a screening of Godzilla vs Destoroyah last night, one of the things they showed before was the trailer for Godzilla vs Biollante. A girl sitting a few seats away said “This may be my favorite Godzilla movie and I haven’t even seen it yet.” Hell yeah.

(Also someone in front of me had a little Mothra hat.)

Almost definitely pure coincidence but it is nonetheless funny how close the similarities are in basic design between the Arctic Giant and Godzilla, pretty much the only thing the former is missing is some manner of breath weapon

I haven’t watched the old Fleischer shorts in forever so I was pretty shocked to see a shot of the monster peering over the dam that’s pretty much the famous shot of Godzilla peering over the mountain.

I can understand Oshii's mindset but I also think it's important to remember that Minus One isn't an exact replica of postwar Japan and shouldnt be taken as such. Considering there's a giant pissed off dinosaur thoroughly wrecking Ginza and mauling half of the US Pacific Fleet leading to a major shift in global power dynamics, I think it's safe to treat the movie as a work of fiction first and foremost rather than as an authentic depiction of 1940s postwar Japan.

So with Bio getting a western release again what does leave for out of print Hesei era stuff? I'm pretty sure I'm missing Return, Bio, and Ghidorah (and maybe Mothra) from buying the dual blu ray packs a few years ago to get most of the movies but I wasn't sure if there were others out of print or if any of the non-Bio I don't have released again.

Aw I love it, especially the jazzy dub version. The robber/kidnap stuff drags a bit but I love the juxtaposition between midcentury urban Japan and Monster Island fantasy.

All Monsters Attack sucks but it’s definitely had a minor critical reappraisal in recent years. I’ve grown a little fond of it over time. It’s definitely the “worst” Showa, maybe tied with Raids again, but much more entertaining than the latter.

Yeah I grabbed that maybe a month or two before it went out of print luckily. Just wish things as big as Godzilla and related movies didn't go out of print at all.

I watched the Japanese version via the Criterion Channel. Might look at a Youtube comp of the American dub or something.

Ishiro's home life being in some factory-smog-industrial hellscape was a choice, and maybe the only interesting choice in the whole movie. Honda still had things to say about living in Japan, and I can get behind that.

Are there any Honda movies where he really pops off with the social commentary? Want to see if I can get my hands on his non-kaiju output.

Yeah, learning about what life was like for the average latchkey kid in 60's Japan made me reevaluate it myself. The kid lives in a smog-choked city because at the time, Tokyo was the most polluted city on the planet. The kids wore yellow hats because there were so many traffic accidents (which also explains one of the kids in Gamera vs. Barugon's obsession with a perfect world having no traffic accidents). It goes on.

I watched an extremely small budget horror movie the other day that came out a couple years ago and used Boots as spooky incidental sounds, and I felt really bad for them that this huge movie came along and blew up their spot with a trailer.

There was a capsule toy machine at the mall that had some Showa era Godzilla figures.



Unfortunately I didn't get the last one, Gorosaurus, and they've already swapped out the machines.

The 90s Godzilla cartoon is so much better than it has any right to be. It's by the Jackie Chan Adventures studio who basically specialised in elevating licensed spinoffs.

It reminds me a lot of the Men in Black cartoon which also did its own thing while keeping the premise.

The MiB cartoon was the same studio. All three had a similar art style, come to think of it.
