Godzilla 2000's roars

[Godzilla165]

This has always confused me, did toho mix some of Zilla's roars in with Godzilla's roars? Or are they different roars, and growls completely?

[Tyler]

For the American version they made an all new roar.

I loved the elephant-like roars in that version.

Indeed. I know some people dislike the Millennium Godzilla roar but I like the echoing, boomy roar that gives Godzilla a sense of size and scale.

And that roar has more presence in a scene. It has more effect on an audience.

The American version of Godzilla 2000 added various roars and grunts, most of which resemble G98's elephant-like cries. The US editors denied having access to the G98 samples, but I dunno about that...

Yeah, I'm still convinced that's bs.

I think kpa or someone explained that they really didn't have anything from GINO to work from.

^So they purposefully sought sounds that were nearly identical to GINO, when the whole point of G2K was to wash GINO out of peoples' minds? Huh.

[Godzilla 2000]

I think it worked, honestly.

It gives Godzilla a "voice" if you catch my drift. He doesnt just have 3 roars to cycle through. He sounds like a real creature.

Godzilla 2000's whole point was to make a quick buck.

I though he sounded fine, sometimes it remind me of Zilla when i first watch it but
it didnt ruined the experience so to say.

True, but you can apply that reasoning to pretty much any studio film. I'm also referring to the US editors (who had a decent amount of creative control and influence) specifically, not Toho.

I liked a lot of the other noises they gave him, but the GINO cries were a little annoying to me for whatever reason.

Oh of course not, I still love the movie no matter what. :)

Me too. My second favorite Millenium movie easily.
(GMK being first although interchangeable with G2K)
