Have we gotten an uncut Terror of MechaGodzilla here in the states yet?

I genuinely forget

Classic Media released a version with the Japanese and US versions, though I couldn't tell you if the Japanese version was uncut.

Just getting a proper subtitled version of the Japanese cut would be good. Maybe it'll happen when the new GvKK comes out?

The original KKvG is a rights nightmare that neither Toho nor Universal seems interested in resolving, unfortunately.

Fortunately, the U-I cut is still actually really dope and the blu-ray they released a couple years ago with King Kong Escapes looks beautiful.

It always warms my heart to know that Godzilla is not only a (theoretically) terrifying hell-beast of cinema, but a universally beloved pop culture celebrity.

Ahh, godzilla-movies.com. I fondly remember getting IP banned from that site back in 2013 or 2014 for pointing out that it functioned mostly as a bullshit rumor mill that got clicks for aggregating other news via gaming the search engine optimization system. Good times. Maybe it's a bit more respectable now.

That's really exciting stuff with Criterion giving them a good work over.

I recently watched Kong: Skull Island and I was astounded by how boring a movie it was. With that cast, and the setting, and Kong and just wow you could not be bothered to care about anyone or anything happening. The whole film just felt flat and dull and ugh. Legendary Big G gonna mop the floor with that Kong, they are gonna need another kaiju for them to inevitably team up against or that poo poo lasts maybe 1 scene.

Regular monsters tore him up, hell even machine gun fire hurt him. Full grown will just mean bigger I don't see how that ends well for Kong given Big G literally atomic breathed one of the Mutos into a smokey pile (which was def one of the best scenes in that film).

Kong will be much much faster and more agile than G. Smarter too. The MUTO fights were pretty much sumo shoving matches, Kong can punch OH GOD I'M AN ADULT I HAVE TO STOP NOW.

It's fun watching how many actors were in both the original Gojira as well as the Seven Samurai.

It's too bad that Kurosawa never directed a Godzilla film

Rumor has it that he wanted to, but Toho saw the cost estimate and told him, essentially, no loving way.

Godzilla, flanked by Jet Jaguar and Anguirus, after defeating King Ghidorah, sadly intones "Once again, we are defeated, it is the humans who have won..."

Ishiro Honda was Kurosawa's assistant director on a bunch of movies so that's pretty close.

I adore Legendary, but if they hadn't beaten Shin at that moment Shin Godzilla would have become the universe... According to that thing Anno said anyway.

I gotchu. The main source for this is The Art of Shin Godzilla.

quote:

Fifth Form
Acquire flight ability.
Self-division without limits to eventually cover the whole of Earth.
Divided forms may shrink in size and form a legion.
Become immune to the Yashiori Plan.
Lose algesia (sensitivity to pain) and emotions.
Self-generation of a completed form from a tiniest fragment of the body.

Sixth Form
Overcoming requirements of air and water to survive.
Will achieve self energy productions.
Achieving limitless nuclear fusions and overcome energy problems.
Degeneration of the mouth and teeth. Will eventually lose these organs.
Will eventually invade outer space and reach other planets.

Seventh Form
Contains a small universe within its body.
Synthesizing any materials and elements at will and make them its own.
Adapt to harsh environments of any planets.

Eighth Form
Transcending physical law and reaching the "level of GOD" (and Immortality).


Unrelated, I like how the three latest Godzilla movies have been in an arms race to see who can make the biggest G.

Legendary godzilla is a godlike being but shin godzilla is an eldritch deity. So the fight would be hideously lopsided.

I think that’s supposed to be Mechagodzilla. I’m pretty interested in seeing a really weird far-future version him instead of just “Godzilla, but blocky” that we’ve seen a lot of.
