The buzz saw flybys were very effective against Godzilla. In my head I can clearly see the scene where Gigan buzzes Godzilla's shoulder and a gush of blood shoots out. The only problem with it is that is can only be used when close up, but when used close up, it's a dangerous weapon.

I haven't seen Zonefighter fight Gigan, so I can't really comment on the explosive tip claws.

I remember there was a video posted a while back of the scene. It might be on Youtube, but I'd also suggest looking on other video hosting sites. The scene is floating somewhere around the web, that I'm sure of.

I think the meat-hook hands and abdominal saw is what makes Gigan unique and badass. The crystal cocoon is neat, but Ghidorah was doing it before it was cool >.>

I haven't seen his movies in way too damn long (and I need to stop having to say that), but I do remember the buzzsaw flyby attacks. Cool stuff. Very effective.

It's still on youtube. That is a powerful blow, and would have really been useful against Godzilla.
