Godzilla's Revenge Differences

[@nathanielschwartz425]

5:10 Also, the last line of the film in the Japanese version is Ichiro appologizing to the painter saying “Sorry Mr. Painter” whereas in the English dub the last line of the film is the bullies telling Ichiro “Hey Ichiro you were great.”

[@Goji73]

A few misc things: - When Ichiro's neighbor calls the police, his dialogue is very clear, but in the dub, it was masked with car noises - One of the thieves is given the name "Roy" in the english dub, but there's no mention of their named in the original japanese dub - Hilariously, Ichiro's neighbor refers to Minya as a god in the original japanese dub - Was it confirmed that Ichiro says "Esbrasaurus"? I thought he was saying "There's Gorosaurus/Brosaurus" but the audio was just recorded weirdly

[@PaperFinz]

Thanks for those bits of information. As for the Esbrasaurus name, I saw it in the "The Big Book of Japanese Giant Monster Movies: The Lost Cuts: Editing Japanese Monsters," where it mentions Gorosaurus name as Esbrasaurus.

[@mikehunt4986]

@@PaperFinz You should've actually watched the movie instead of relying on that book. Ichiro sounds like he says, "There's Brasaurus," followed by, "There's Manda." It's possible that whoever wrote that book misheard "There's Brasaurus" as "Esbrasaurus."

[@chadgorosaurus4898]

There really are no important differences that make them have different quality levels. They are at the same level of crappiness.

Despite this film’s many shortcomings, I still really enjoy it for its social commentary on what life was like in that time period for a child. It took me a few rewatches to realize how depressing the film’s undertone is.

[@queenglamazona8789]

Director Inoshiro Honda was a loner and was bullied when he was a kid. He got into Filmmaking as an Outlet for his Creativity. I think Godzilla's Revenge was actually a Movie about his Own Childhood. The Character in the Movie was even called Shiro.

[@mrgodzillaraptors8632]

It really is

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

It gets deeper: Notice how Ichiro and some of the kids wore a yellow cap? That was a high-visibility cap many kids wore at that time in Japan, so that motorists would spot kids walking across busy streets. Like Ichiro and the other kids, in 1960s Japan, it became fairly common for kids to accompany themselves home from school, since many working-class families required both the father and mother working to earn a decent income. The yellow cap was implemented after there had been THOUSANDS of reported accidents of kids getting struck by motorists; the bright color of the cap was meant to draw greater attention to the kids. Now you know why Akio (Gamera vs. Guiron) was constantly mentioning his desire to see a world that was absent of “war and traffic accidents”.

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

Always loved this series, I’m thankful you are keeping it alive. I’m sure there’s plenty of other Tokusatsu movies you could be covering in this series, ergo Gamera and Gammera.

[@midwestmonster9886]

One thing about the intro that I find weird is that there's a clip of Godzilla repeatedly punching an off-screen enemy that is below him. From the tropical trees in the background, it looks like a clip from this movie or Son of Godzilla, but the shot cannot be found in either movie. I thought maybe it was in the Japanese version of Godzilla's Revenge, but that wasn't the case either. It looks like it's just a deleted clip from the fight against Gabara. Maybe they cut it because they felt the fight was becoming too one-sided.

[@mikehunt4986]

I think you can spot Gabara's foot on the left side for a second or two during the clip so yeah, I'm going with your theory that it's a deleted scene.

[@williampatrick2971]

[@matthewvorwald7169]

That trailer at the end is so nostalgic. I remember seeing that trailer along with other trailers for the showa era Godzilla movies at the end of Godzilla King of the Monsters.

[@shadowbolt518]

in the english dub, I'm pretty sure you can hear faint traces of the original japanese song right at the beginning

[@DasNordlicht91]

We can all agree that "Godzilla says that I should learn to fight my own battles, you know" is an important life lesson we can all take to heart.

[@augustragone1159]

Thanks for the video! According to the Japanese credits, and other Japanese published sources, the voice of Minilla (pronounced "Mee-nee-lah"; a portmanteau of "Miniature" & "Gojira" - a "Mini-Godzilla") was dubbed by 内山みどり (Midori Uchiyama). Being a soft tongue twister, Minilla was rechristened "Minya" to give the voice dubbers an easier go. BTW, Toho's original English rendering for アンギラス (Angirasu) was indeed "Angilas," which appears on Toho's English publicity materials for GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN. Toho has fluctuated on their English naming conventions over the decades.

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Great video. Despite Godzilla's Revenge arguably being the worst in the series it's actually one that I watched a lot as a child. This was due to it's really short runtime and kaiju action that I wasn't familiar with at the time. Kumonga's mispronounced name in the English dub still stuck with me to this day as well haha

[@joeysullivanTM]

I loved this movie when i was a little kid! But the more i started watching the film as i was getting older it became silly but gabra is a unique kaiju. Hope he comes back in a better story/ better film for him.

[@davebooth5608]

Never cared for this film as a kid but it grew on me. Gabara was a great foe and only used in this picture, which I thought sad. Thanks for the great content!!

[@Mer0lk]

His extremely deteoriated suit is also used in an episode of Godman. Sad but also hilarious.

[@ronnieburton1312]

In his book "Age of the Gods", Guy Tucker, who spoke Japanese and met director Ishiro Honda, translated the title as "All Monsters on Parade"

[@KamikazeDreamer]

I know this movie gets shit on a lot but Im particularly nostalgic for it. I watched it a lot as a kid and really liked it. I probably just liked how many different monsters were featured and being a child, neither knew or cared about the frankenstein's monster made of godzilla stock footage. The movie is dumb and basically just a weird fan-fiction, but it's way too amusing for me to hate

[@YourLocalGummiBearsFan]

Fun Fact: “All Monsters Attack” Had a Much Larger Yen Budget Compared to “Destroy All Monsters”, “All Monsters Attack” Had a Budget Total of ¥260 Million.

Not exactly the best Godzilla movie I've but I guess it's somewhat ok

[@mrgodzillaraptors8632]

Despite it being not that good, it’s honestly relatable to me. I was alone at home a lot when I was younger. I would play with my dinosaur toys and Godzilla toys by my self and form a sort of narrative in my head. I didn’t have many friends, probably because I had a difficult time starting and having conversations with people. I would also go around looking for cool looking sticks that I could use to imagine them as something, like part of a giant monsters arm. I can relate tho the character.

[@grimscraggletag6799]

You forgot to mention that Ochiro calls Kumonga (the giant spider) *"Kumogula",* for some weird reason in the english dub.

[@TheAngryAstronaut]

The US version is so painfully dopey, even as a kid I couldn't endure it. The Japanese version gives Manila a child-like voice, making the experience on Monster Island seem more like a legitimate dream instead of an idiot's idea of what little children's fantasies are like. This poor kid lives in an urban nightmare world. I can't imagine walking home from school at that age, with factories belching poison into the sky everywhere, and entertaining myself most of the time because I have two working parents. No wonder this kid dreams about beautiful faraway islands populated by the only friend he has...an imaginary child monster. Even the bank robbers might be a figment of this kid's imagination. Remember, the legendary Ishiro Honda directed this movie. If all of us hadn't been tortured by the horrible American dub first, together with our Godzilla hating friends "You actually watch this stupid **racial slur** s-t?!?!" we might have grown up with a different opinion.
