>>348 >They were just regular dinosaurs, or started that way at least, but they were portrayed as much larger and much more resilient than simply a dinosaur revived from suspended animation would be. Well sure, but that's basically the case for dinosaurs in cinema going back to the dawn of film. Few movies actually portrayed them particularly realistically. And even when they do, does that invalidate them? Gorosaurus is literally just the t-rex that King Kong rips the jaw off of. Does he not count? And if he does, then the T-rex from the original King Kong and the 2005 remake must count, right? But the original especially is clearly just intended to be a regular T-Rex. But it serves a very similar role to Kong (albeit a smaller role), and Kong is definitely a kaiju. And if the T-Rex counts, what about the other dinosaurs in the original King Kong? And then what about the dinosaurs in The Lost World? I think a big part of this is just how recent the discovery of dinosaurs, and gorillas for that matter, really is. When these movies were made, they were both recent discoveries, and not a lot was known about either, at least by the general public, hence why Cooper was so enthralled by a movie about a gorilla. They were new and they were cool. Real life gorillas are practically small kaiju. And real life dinosaurs are basically kaiju as well. Film dinosaurs, even if intended as realistic at the time, were portrayed as larger than life, because that's how people saw them, and still see them today. Couple that with how inaccurate our knowledge of them at the time was, and it makes film dinosaurs of the era seem even more monstrous compared to the real things.

Does anyone have Shin Godzilla? I missed it when it was shown.

>>350 Honestly I think you have to seperate American Kong from Toho Kong. Toho Kong is clearly kaiju but American Kong is I guess you could call it proto-kaiju. The original King Kong could be killed by machine guns from biplanes. Toho Kong was just as resistant to 50s era military grade weaponry as Godzilla is. I guess I'm just splitting hairs really.

>>354 Toho Kong is a kaiju. Original King Kong is an actual animal. Just a super sized animal.

New Godzilla anime poster.

>>59 >KotM being a way better film than 2014 Wrong.

>>385 Local TORpedo prefers Godzilla 2014 because it has 14 in it.

When are we going to see another Gamera movie? Or any other kaiju movies that aren't specifically in the main Godzilla crew for that matter?

>>392 Probably never. Kadokawa seems adamant about not doing anything with the IP. Even despite the resurgence of Godzilla media since 2014. You can however by the whole series of Gamera films through some new blu-ray releases by Arrow.

I know that in the original American release of King Kong vs Godzilla that they replaced most of the original music with the music from Creature from the Black Lagoon and in Godzilla vs Hedorah Return the Sun was transformed into Save the Earth, were there any other weird musical localization in the original releases of the Godzilla movies?

New Godzilla v Kong spoilers.

>>419 Look how they massacred my boy.

>>421 Be not afraid, father. I have been born anew.

A full look at Godzilla's CG model.

>>426 Kind of a hybrid Legendary and Shin with a little bit of Millennium thrown in.

>Xiliens >Red Bamboo >Kilaaks >Space Hunter Nebula M aliens >Seatopians >Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens Who was the best antagonist group in the Showa era?

>>434 >Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens Because gorilla.

>>435 >Because gorilla.

The boys.

>>439 Now nearly all the boys.

>>455 >includes Godzilla: The Series animated version >doesn't include Hanna-Barbera or Marvel Comics versions

>>455 >Heisei Godzilla's eyes get progressively fierier in every film until it culminates with Burning Godzilla I wonder if that was Toho's plan from the very start of the Heisei series?

>>457 I said nearly all. It's missing Godzilla Earth but included his small son. Doesn't have any of the Godzilla Junior forms or either Minilla. >>458 I wouldn't doubt it.

Movie is very good. Not one of the Godzilla movies that has something it wants to say. Just a very straight forward heavy weight title fight with a surprised visit from MechaGodzilla. KotM was better but this one was still really entertaining.

Since there was one anon on /v/ who isn't aware of the various continuities of Godzilla, here's a handy image guide. May be slightly dated but helps significantly if you're new to this franchise.

>>473 This needs an update.

>>463 It's easily the worst of the monterverse. Reading up on some of the original ideas and what was cut, it sounds like it could of been a good follow-up to KotM, but the end result is just disappointing.

>>477 It's okay to have an opinion. But yours is wrong. 2014 is the weakest of the series.

I was watching the commentary on KotM, and the director mentioned these bones outside of Godzilla's lair. I can't figure out what they're supposed to be, anyone have any ideas? >>481 2014 is by far the best.

>>489 It's Anguirus. No the best is King of the Monsters with Godzilla vs. Kong in second place.

Trying to revive this thread and keep both boards kind of on the same footing. Selection of 4 Hammer Studios caveman movies, the first of which we've seen a couple of times.

>>2136 Continuing the theme here's 3 from Amicus- The Land That Time Forgot The People That Time Forgot & At the Earth's Core The last one even starring Peter Cushing. I'm going to continue with this for a bit because I had forgotten that there are actually quite a number of these movies because they use to be rather popular.

This is what the Heisei era Mecha G was suppose to look like or turn into at one point.
