I'm guessing the reason why the atomic breath was stronger than usual is because of the long volley, and the short one from Godzilla's Heisei. If you look closely, Heisei Godzilla could inflict about the same damage with a long volley

When I saw ads for the film, I initially assumed it was a sequel to '98 Godzilla.

Biollante I was lucky to find at walmart, Final Warz at a thrift store, and Hedorah found online before youtube started adding Gojira movies.

[@TheConsumerDinoGuy]

I was soo lucky to knew the existence of this movie by watching it on vhs belonging to one of my old childhood friend, because i wouldn't be interested to the franchise due to the misrepresentation of the american 1998 godzilla movie. Since 2000, i've waited 14 years to see a new godzilla movie, but i never knew there was a large library of godzilla japanese movie until AVGN made the GodzillaThon series back in 2008-2009.

I've watched all of the films, but this is easily my favorite film in the entire series. For me this is Godzillas most iconic and best design, his design just feels the most threatening (besides his gmk design) but also his most slick version of Godzilla we've seen. This movie also has my favorite gisnt monster ever, Orga, I love his design with how much of a juggernaut he looks like and I feel like his design could be used more in line with his attacks, the way his beam attack is used to how he is killed at the end. This movie also has my favorite poster design of all the films.

[@AlFonso-p6p]

The poster design was very classical. Feels like it jumped right out of the 1950s nostalgia era! Orga was an amazing concept. Just the alien UFO thing was iconic in itself but when you got a hybrid Godzilla clone with UFO powers that was like on a whole other level of monster!!! The part at the end where he was just beating Godzilla and draining him while he just got stronger and stronger and evolved more and more!! Seriously felt like Godzilla was gonna lose this fight for sure!! I actually believed he was gonna lose this time! Total thriller! 👍

[@SpScarletSpider]

Not gonna lie, Katagiri was one of the best characters in this movie, since he really made you hate the fuck out of him when he did what he did to Yuji Shinoda, and because he was just an asshole in general. The funny thing is, as I was watching the film, Hiroshi Abe's stoic and gritty portrayal of Katagiri really felt like he was an evil version of Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star/Hokuto No Ken, so much so that I thought that he would have been a great Kenshiro. Sure enough, he actually voiced Ken in the Legends of the True Savior HNK OVA/films, which is freaking awesome. Dude is a great actor and voice actor. Also, I have to give a lot of major props to Takehiro Murata's portrayal of Yuji Shinoda, as he was a really likable protagonist and his chemistry with the girl that plays his daughter Io was really fun to watch (particularly the scene where they think Miyasaka is on to them).

[@ricardodavis4730]

Very observant! I agree. To me, Katagiri was an asshole,yes, but was also doing his job (saving Japan) but at the cost of Shinoda's life.

[@SpScarletSpider]

@@ricardodavis4730 Yeah, when I think of it, Katagiri's character was more of an "ends justify the means" approach to protecting Japan. While some of his intentions were good, his flaw was that he could only see things from a black and white perspective rather than trying to find another way that could be a more balanced/nuanced approach that would minimize casualties as much as possible. I know many people hate some of the human stories in G-films, but they really do have a lot of depth to them that people tend to overlook in a lot of these films. Without a good human plot, the kaiju fights wouldn't have you as invested in them, IMO.

[@NoBudjetFilms]

Never saw this movie, and the couple times I played Godzilla video games I wondered what the heck Orga was. Orga has a really great design, and I thought it looked really cool how he elongated his mouth to try and eat Godzilla, and then of course the end result of trying to eat a radioactive god-dragon making it a really bad idea.

Personally shrinking him was basically a good idea, scaling him was made much more flexible and much convincing, the buildings around the monsters can actually affect them a bit more with some being slightly bigger, or only a bit more smaller, speaking of the buildings their details have been improved thanks to the decreased size giving every scene that are purely practical, much more impressive

This monster was a huge part also, along with Star Wars, of what drove me to to do what I do for a living and have the career I've been fortunate enough to have. Most of the creature crew for Roland and Dean's film are personal friends of mine and Curt Carley (the suit actor for that film) has played monsters in a few of my films as well.

I was 4 when I saw this movie in theater. They played an ad for the grinch which scarred me for years but I fell in love with this specific design and oh my god the ROAR. Out of all of his roars this one beats them all for me. As for Orga trying to vore godzilla (it’s the Japanese of course) I heard different theories as to why Godzilla just leaped into the jaws of his enemy willingly. My own head canon is that Big G is a very well seasoned fighter while little o is a rookie at best and desperate to get back his advantage. In opening his big maw Big G in that little roar he did right before running right in was actually a laugh. A laugh that his enemy would leave themselves that unbelievably vulnerable to attack. And we all know what happens next...

The only Toho Godzilla movie I've seen in theaters.

Godzilla 2000 is my first Godzilla movie that I watch and my favorite

[@kunu1990]

First Godzilla film I saw in theaters, holds a special place in my memory, and still one of my top 5 favorites

[@perrymathis4557]

One of my faves! Thanks for the history behind it.

Anyone Else Notice That As Orga Is Forming, It Kind Of Looks Like The Independence Day Aliens? Coincidence, I THINK NOT!!!

Japanese monster movies were a huge source of joy to me as a child, especially when combined with a crazy host like Cleveland’s Superhost, Ghoulardi, and Big Chuck Polish Power, Houlihan, & Little John. Now at 57 years old watching any Godzilla movie brings back that childhood glee. How many people remember The Ghoul getting in trouble for blowing up a dead rat with an M-80 on live tv at 1am Sunday morning while showing a monster movie. Sad that type of stuff is lost forever to today’s children. The glee of being free and crazy!

OMG is that a reference of FIRE FORCE in there with the nun character

Best ending. Also 2000 is my favorite film and Godzilla besides Biollante

The suit for this one was incredible. The arms were held with hands parallel to the ground making it more animal like. As for GMK, except for having Baragon, I have never been as impressed with this one as others. Time to give it another try.

I remember seeing this one in theaters.

This has a special place in my Godzilla fandom. It’s my second Godzilla after watching the 1998 American version, and it blew me away.

My favourite godzilla. I WATCHED IT 2 WEEKS AGO

[@michaelfaklis8169]

I saw the original Godzilla as a 5-year old. It was rebroadcast everyday that week on the TV in L.A.. With my imagination, I saw every foothill in the San Fernando Valley as a sleeping Godzilla, who in any minute might rise up and destroy L.A.. Years later, living at the beach in San Francisco, I had a friend, Henry, who I would play with. I had a 3-foot inflatable Godzilla, and we both had 1-foot high Godzillas. I would imitate Godzilla rampaging the livingroom smashing Lego buildings and Matchbox cars. He was five, when Japanese release of Godzilla 2000 was playing in town, and his parents allowed us to go see it in the theater, as he was pretty desensitized of the horror aspect and saw it as cartoon violence. We had a great time watching the movie, although I had to help with some of the subtitles. At the end of the movie, Godzilla roars and does his 360 spewing out his heat rays destroying the landscape, and the "The End" graphic is shown. Henry roars out "The End of Tokyo!", and the rest of the theater audience laughs along with me as we applaud.

The Godzilla movie that started loving Godzilla was the 2014 Godzilla

[@shadowedfate151]

I'm pretty sure this was the second godzilla movie I ever saw, I remember as a kid finding it cool I only saw it once but I'll always remember that chlling ending where the guy screams "GODZILLLLLAAAAAAAAA!!!"

[@BensonMTG]

Great work! Has there ever been a Chinese giant monster movie? Also, when do we get the honor of Mike Zuan X Godzilla?

[@ORLY911]

Only one I know of is Mighty Peking Man from Shaw Brothers. Interestingly the assistant FX person from it went to work on the fx for the heisei movies.

[@raptor5743]

The first Godzilla movie I saw in theaters and still one of my all time favorites. God bless
