I hear a distant rumbling... What's that?! It's coming from under the ground!

Oh, God! It's Baragon with Pink undertones! Can't you hear its terrifying cry?!

"Baragooooooon's comin' up, so you better get this party started!"

I'm surprised that description is still in use. I typed my post out from a newspaper clipping that's probably 25 years old and I think it was already pretty old by then.

>>"Godzilla Versus the Sea Monster." Tomoyuki Tanaka and Jun Fukuenda. The titanic hero-ape, Godzilla, fights the battle of his life with the most gigantic and ferocious sea monster the world has ever known. (1967)

>>The "King of the Monsters" is back... and look who's with him. Like father... like son. Godzilla and Godzilla Jr. are threatened by giant mantises, a mad scientist, and an army of giant spiders while trying to protect an island beauty. Where's Mrs. Godzilla when you really need her?

I was really annoyed as a kid when it turned out there was only one giant spider.

Since I did the Showa Godzilla films.

The rest of the Showa Era Tokusatsu films. Mainly the major (ones I give a shit about) ones

Everything's invisible compared to a giant nuclear monster.

Harry And The Hendersons: The Gritty AMC Reboot.

"For never was a story of more woe Than this of Radon and her Rodan, fell by human foes"

Even lying, backstabbing nuclear invaders know to ask for consent first.

Goofellas.

We swear this was made for theaters.

The closest thing we'll ever get to Clash Of The Titans if Toho made it.

Independence Day but it's 1959 and it's actually kinda better?

I Know What You Did 14 Years Ago

A steamy romance.

It wasn't the cops. Twas being a capitalist killed the jackass.

NATO countries in the Cold War: nuclear armageddon could be awful, let's make a film on it so people understand. Shūe Matsubayashi, Tanka and Kimura at least 20 years before that: hold our sake.

Armageddon but it's DEFINETLY better. *
*= Producer's Note

Don't do shrooms.

The only time that being a zealot was a good thing.

Legitimately such a mess of a plot, I don't have a quip for it.

Shelly needed more dinosaur dogs.

Cain and Abel: Bigfoot Editon.

The name's Kong. King Kong. I like the bananas squashed not peeled.

No one ever asks about the Longutiude.

Desperate for ideas, Tomoyuki Tanka was forced to make the interns walk blindly though the local aquarium for kaiju as they copied and pasted every script they wrote.

Toho Does Hammer: She's Not Really A Vampire, Though?

Toho Does Hammer 2: Dracula's Vacation Home Ruined by Some Annoying Kid From Forever Ago

Imagevia Imgflip Meme Generator

and they were all better for it.

.....OK, I never actually read about the plot of Horror Of The Wolf until now and I gotta say, that shit is sick.

The End Of The World As We Know It (And It's Trippy As Fuck). Just what'd you'd expect from the master Mr. Banno

Toho Does Hammer 3: Welcome Back, Mr. Alucard.

Fukuda gets to make one more film he actually likes making before they drag him back for the Godzilla shit again.


https://starwarsintrocreator.kassellabs ... MHiRPPxpW8

A genuinely good drama using high science concepts to address real life issues plaguing Japan. Somewhere in the theater, a little boy is insipred.......
