Thank for it. Did You got my e-mail?
What corrections were made?
@@commonmockery1074 Added some new thoughts, took out some opinions I changed my mind about, a few factual errors like Godzilla attacking Tokyo Tower in the original(he didn't), fixing some editing issues, and generally trying to correct any mispronunciations that I always make lol.
Are you still reviewing Godzilla 2014 I'm really looking forward to watching it
Just found this channel and it's awesome. Can you make sure to post videos everyday . Thanks
My eyes just about rolled out of my head due to those "puns" by the newscasters.
I lost it at the ferris wheel bit.
My son really likes godzilla and his knowledge made me binge all these videos. I really enjoy these man.
This movie was my introduction to Godzilla. My parents bought it in VHS in a yard sale and this movie blew my 4 year old mind. It started my love for big monsters and Godzilla.
Not one of my top 10 films but man Battra is awesome, especially his larva stage. Keep up the great work Bill!
I gotta 💩
@@danamilicia3127 ok lol
@@danamilicia3127 How did it go?
I love the amount of abilities Heisei Mothra has, especially the antenna rays & lightning arcs that I wish she had kept in subsequent films along with the venomous powder. Her wing patterns are also my favorite here, though I prefer the wing texture from Tokyo S.O.S that gave her a wider range of motion. Battra is also a gem! I hope he returns in a future film along with Mothra. (I'm also so happy they didn't use that MechaMothra idea, I think it'd kill the divine moth inspiration >.>)
0:55 Aha, I love the idea of Mechani-Kong vs Godzilla!
That seems like such a nice way to make a new match-up we've never seen before, while not actually adding a totally new kaiju into the setting.
While also serving to blend a sort of rematch of Godzilla vs both Kong and Mechagodzilla at the same time.
One my favorite films of the Heisei series! For pure non-stop monster action this movie can't be beat. Plus the design of Battra (especially the larval form) is great.
I personally thought it would have been interesting if Miki was made into Battra's herald thanks to him connecting to her telepathically. That way, there would be more of a reason for Miki to be there other than as a walking Godzilla alarm.
Official 1992 Kaiju Power Rankings:
🥇1. Charles Barkley ⬆️
🥈2. Godzilla ⬇️
🥉3. Mothra ↔️
I like to think in my head canon that the Japanese government is in the middle construction of Mechagodzilla during the events of the movie
I love the reviews dude. You have rly good presentation and I can’t get enough Godzilla bts lore.
I literally just watched the original upload an hour before the re-upload, lol. Still watched this one all the way through though, because the quality is just that good. I even noticed a few sections where things were corrected or added. Job well done! Can't wait for the next one!
Not my favorite of the Heisei series but I do enjoy the Battra larva's design and the overall film is still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate a more fantasy tone to their Kaiju eiga. Great work man, loving watching these again to see if I can notice what has been added or edited.
Hm I don't know about Mecha Mothra. I saw Mothra as a mythical Monster. So seeing her as a cyborg type of monster just feels a little wrong.
Some book somewhere, don't remember which, called this movie "Godzilla Vs. Queen Mothra", apparently figuring that if the last monster Godzilla faced was KING Ghidorah, well...
Godzilla King of the movie monsters by Robert Marrero.
I had that book as a kid. Still have it somewhere.
You know. I look forward to Godzilla and the Titans on AppleTV. However I hope Toho makes more movies too one day.
Personally I would love it if they either re-start the series in the Showa series or follow marvels lead and link all the movies together. Can you image a movie called “Gigan” then have like a deleted scene of Manda showing up or something like that? The Showa series basically was pretty much a Marvel series with the continuity before it was even a thing. I believe the Universal Horror Classics was the first franchise to develop a continuity concept. Will see…
I really have a nostalgic soft spot for this movie and still get a lot of enjoyment from this one. It has flaws such as a very heavy handed message about earth pollution and maybe at times being a little too much like Mothra, and Mothra vs Godzilla. That being said I found the movie to be a lot of fun, Battra is a cool monster (and in general I like the idea of a "dark version" of mothra) the human characters are actually fairly good and the score is seriously one of Ifukube's best.
Thank you for uploading these
Love this series! Awesome work bro!
Loving all these re-uploads. All your vids are so good!
Another great video, thx for your work man
I just wanted to say you never disappoint bill!
I watched this movie just so I could watch your review lol. The film and your video did not disappoint!!! Great work and thanks for making me discover this awesome flick!
(Props for having Scott Hall and Yu-Gi-Oh lol. I usually don't get your references but I'm definitely down with those two!)
Love your channel . Just found it & subscribed. This video should have 1,000,000 views at lest that much.
indeed, i just watched this movie and is one of the best ever. The score, Battra, the underwater fight, Mothra transformation, everything is awesome.
I gotta say it's nice to see your knowledge of the Sopranos and WFAN. It's funny to me and many people outside of the NJ/NY area might not understand it (WFAN specifically).
Amazing video as always. Godzilla is definitely my favorite franchise along with Predator.
Hey, how's it going? Just found your channel and I've been binge watching everything for about a week. This is awesome. I got hooked back in the late 60's early 70's with Ultraman shows every day and I saw Godzilla vs. Hedora in the theater when it came out and all the movies on a Saturday monster movie show they had in Cleveland on the UHF tv.. Anyway... you're right it's hard to find anyone to share it with. Most everyone says they love Godzilla, but no, not like I do, y'know? I want to know every ;little factoid detail. I like that I'm pissed about continuity or canon mistakes! :-) So anyway, thanks for all this research work you've done here. I'm being greatly entertained. Best line so far was in this video with "Godzilla just comes in and fucks it all up. I'm the badguy!" hahahaha
With how plush and colurful the Heisei Mothra appears I am surprised how little merch there is of this particular incarnation.
Loved my Trendmasters Mothra toy I had as a kid.
The Heisei Mothra looks cute
love the channel so much. got my bf into godzilla and can't wait to rewatch your videos with him. btw, where can i see this "godzilla world discoveries!" video? i really want to see just what's going on in it and why godzilla's visiting a cemetery
hearing the mothra song always makes me think of how when i was watching godzilla king of the monsters when they played mothras theme in the 2019 movie filled me with so much emotion i started to cry in the theater. we didnt get any of the original 2014 movie and this was the first time in the monsterverse series we did. iv loved godzilla since before i can remember and godzilla king of the monster is the biggest love letter to its fans. anyways TLDR i lose my freaking mind every time i hear mothras theme now because i love it.
Man this channel is stil too underrated
I love how you personalized and internalized Godzilla’s thoughts here. That was so funny.
Once you’re done with the Godzilla movies can you do one for The War Of The Gargantuas?
6:19 all i can think is the Godzilla stroke meme 5:31 also im pretty sure those jokes caused actual psychic damage
R.I.P. Scott Hall, the Bad Guy of Bad Guys.
I do like the '92 Mosura song
Just has a really nice vibe and texture 💜🦇🖤
God I love 80/90s Godzilla films. They're just the pick for me honestly.
Gotta love Godzilla bopping along to Mothra’s song in the background.
Finally got to see it when TriStar released the VCR in 1998. 2nd best Heisei film. Big improvement over Mech-G v.s. Battra looks great. The underwater battle is fantastic. Godzilla swam through a lava river and comes out of a volcano. Final is great too. Sony/TriStar treat it's American G-fans like unwanted stepchildren, still don't have a widescreen Japanese version.
Great review! 11:55 Anyone else notice the crew member giving the finger?
Yes, i was wondering if anyone else saw that too!
I really hope you do the new Godzilla movies
Battra needs to be in the monsterverse
I've always felt Godzilla treats the world as "This is my sandcastle and no one kicks it down but me" so when other monsters and aliens turn up to destroy things he turns up up to put them in their place.
Thai film holds a special place in my heart! The first fight they had was the first scene I ever saw Godzilla in as a kid! My dad showed it to me on Sci-fi channel! I was hooked ever since!
where did you get the part about the suit actor talking about the volcano scene being the hardest scene he did, because I couldn't find it anywhere.
Godzilla vs mathra was one of the movies I watched over and over as a kid along with Godzilla’s revenge
4:31 with all the crazy big crossovers being made today that used to be something you can only realize in fanfics, someone should really to pitch this idea just for the kicks, I'd pay to see that shit
Where or how can I watch the Mothra's Song music video that appears on your video?
The ferris wheel tangent was so funny
You should do a History of Destroy All Monsters if you haven't already! It's one of my favorite films.
He has.
I was kind of hoping that you would elaborate on the history of ferris wheels lol
I’ve never been in the “shut your brain off” crowd. It’s kinda hard to just enjoy the monster fights because usually humans are like 80% of these movies and the fights make up the rest. Kinda hard to “just enjoy the fights” when the fights don’t happen all the often lol. I think if people really looked, they’d notice a correlation between the most beloved Godzilla movies also having generally well-liked characters.
Sometimes I think people confuse “good characters” with “Oscar-worthy performances and writing”. Characters don’t need to be amazingly well-written or terribly deep to be interesting.
“Who watches Godzilla movies for the characters?” they ask. Well, almost no one really. However, once again, I’m with them for 80% of the film so I’d rather it be an enjoyable time than a dull experience. Also…Godzilla stories usually relate to humanity as a whole, so why does everyone act like the humans should be treated as afterthoughts?
Uh...dude....there's something called "fast forwarding" if you're watching these movies on a device with that option which in most cases, is the exact case for most fans who watch these films on streaming or on DVD/blu ray players. All of which have that option. You can watch just for the fights and skip the human stuff, many fans (including myself) did so for many movies as kids whenever we had that option.
Only times godzilla fans do turn their brains off is when the stories absolutely suck and there's nothing redeeming about them but the action is still good. Everyone treats the humans as afterthoughts because they aren't the main stars or attractions, the monsters are.
In regards to the heisei era, the human characters were mostly alright but not all entries were that interesting in regards to the human stories, the heisei gamera trilogy on the other hand....yeah sort of beats out heisei godzilla in the human story department.
Do you will make history of shin godzilla?
I’ve always wondered why the roar in this movie sounded so low quality. It just doesn’t fit.
“Tsss, ya that was a charge” hahaha
This was the first Godzilla movie I watched
Thanks for pointing out the questionable environmental message in this movie. I did a list several years ago of my least favorite Godzilla movies and this was on it partly because of that. Everything that happened was because of the meteor hitting Earth, AND there isn't any actual environmental damage shown, and yet they keep saying that somehow everything that is happening is humanity's fault for not protecting the environment, for some reason. I know it was the 90's and this was the big thing then, but not only was this absurdly heavy handed, but just like Godzilla's role, it doesn't fit.
i hope you do mothra's solo films after doing all of godzilla
I'm always amazed that they typically only have 1 single for lack of a better term "hero suit" for the Kaiju? Any American Film production would have at least 6 suits made for each movie. Not to mention damaged or special purpose variants. And just watching that news story about the stolen suit explains why. The BioGoji suit cost $39,000 to make. That's less cost than a single days delayed production. Better to have a backup.
I was more than a little sad that Puffy-Ami-Yumi didn't sing the mothra song in the new movie *sigh* Oh well...
At the end, what is Godzilla World Discoveries (1994) ? Nothing on google pops up
#1 - Your videos are incredible.
#2 - I couldn't get into this one quite as much. The human actors were pretty good. Mothra looked ridiculous. She looked like a patchwork of 70's shag carpet.
#3 - The "Godzilla Girls" weren't the most fetching, although still fine.
#4 - It seemed the sizes of Mothra and Battra kept changing.
#5 - Not a fan of the silly and blatant Indiana Jones rip-off...unless I accept it as a silly homage. :)
#6 - Ooo! I LOVE the idea of gothic twins for Battra!!!
The godzilla from my childhood❤ man I would give alot to get more hesei goji movies
ETA for Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla and Terror of Mechagodzilla?
could someone please link the mothra song heisei music video please?
I watched this film thinking it was Mothra vs Godzilla
If I remember correctly the godzilla comic rulers of earth DOES have the gothic shobijin.
I could be misremembering however
Mike Zaun should do a Godzilla movie review
When is history of son of Godzilla coming?
11:06 anyone know where this is from?
Please do a History of Shin Godzilla!!!
16:53 Funny you mention it. There was a Godzilla comic where they do just that. We see Battra has his own set of shobijin. And just like you said. They are wearing black all the time.
IDW comics godzilla and the kingdom of monsters.
Martha: I love but she needs more powers
6:40 could not agree more with this and if you think this is wrong, you’re wrong
I actually think Godzilla being the dark horse character in this movie is kind'a important to the metaphor he's always represented. Goji isn't natural. He's a direct result of humans screwing things up - basically karma incarnate. And as Goji vs Ghidorah pointed out, he's basically inevitable. Somehow he always gets created, and even the futurians attempts to stop his creation end up being a self fulfilling prophecy that leads to his creation. Basically man will always find a way to screw up enough to create their own demise. Mothra and Battra, meanwhile, are supposed to be these natural ying/yang deities that preserve the natural balance between civilization and nature and they periodically have to go at it to reestablish the balance and then both go back to sleep till they're reincarnated again. So in the movie they both wake up to start the cycle over again, as civilization is once again threatening nature, and their deific powers attract Goji's attention. So they're trying to have this divinely ordained battle for the balance of the world, and then suddenly here comes this giant nuclear dinosaur, which is the biggest travesty of human interference, and he just starts stomping on both of them for entering his territory. So they're like "who the hell invited this guy?" and have to team up to kick his giant scaly tail. Which doesn't work cause he's Goji, so they settle for tossing him back into the ocean from whence he came, which always seems to cool him off.
Very confused film. G unit didn’t know why he was on set. “Who has my call sheet? Where are my pink pages? Someone get me an espresso with krill sprinkles! I am not in either camp, regarding the human stories, but keep it simpler, there are way too many people in this one. Did the studio force changes on the script like every single day?
Where to watch this film
Very underrated goji film imo
Very nice documentary of this movie, but I think personally that miki was about as useful in this film as in godzilla vs biollante, mostly because she didn't really do anything in vs biollante, except to slow down godzilla for like 10 seconds.
Incidentally, this was my first real Godzilla movie. I say real, because I saw Godzilla 1998 before this.
mothra: im good
battra: im bad
Godzilla: im here too
僕が初めて観た映画です！
whats unfortunate is that after this movie, Battra's apearences would have it being an absolute evil bent on destroying the Earth, due to missconception with its first appearance as if you dont pay attention you easily fall into the trap that Battra is purely evil bent on destroying humanity for no reason
30 year anniversary 🎉
17:19 Poor guy turned to drugs to cope.
Mothra has always been my 2nd favorite.....my first favorite of all time....Gamera
What the hell did Mothra do when she circled around the death scene of battra and Godzilla in the ocean and had that weird glowing circle thing touch the ocean???
It was meant to imprison godzilla there, obviously it didn't work
6:19 Godzilla got stroke after being kidnapped & died
There *is* now the darks shobijin in the puppet show godzibahn
I liked the movie up until the end. Felt like it was a bit of a cop outnending also i found battra gping from bad guy to good guy weird and didn't really work
15:47 why did he have to die 😥😥
“Godzilla movie with well written characters”
You know, I enjoyed the hell out of the first act of the Godzilla 2014 movie simply due to Bryan Cranston. He was WAAAAY too good for that shit. But he acted his ass off and he was the best part of that movie.
No one gonna talk about the arrest
I remember watching this as a kid getting pissed off because mothra teamed up with batra against Godzilla
I like All Godzilla movies besides the American 1998 and like 1956 or something
11:08 godzilla is wanted on home invasion
Im getting a rich evans vibes here
Geez...Cancer must be the #1 cause of death in Japan...
