    ''Godzilla looks fucking nauseating in this movie.'' - Phil Leotardo, 1967

    One of the funniest things regarding Minilla is that he was playable in Godzilla Generations for the Sega Dreamcast, unlocked by beating the game with Zilla. Having him walk through massive buildings, smash the military, and battle the three Super-X warships with his radiation rings was hysterical.

    Despite the fact that some fans don't like it, on the other hand, I really enjoyed *Son of Godzilla.* When I was a kid, it reminded me of my father's tough-love. To this very day I still have a soft spot for this film.

    Grew up on Godzilla movies, and this one held a special place in my heart. Particularly because my insane crush on Saeko Matsumiya's, "Riko" character made me realize at a young age I had a thing for asian girls. Fast forward to today and I"m happily married with a Filipina woman. Godzilla changed my life.

      I didn't even realize how often I was watching it until my wife pointed out how often I have it on. God bless her for putting up with my viewing habits. Just yesterday she said she wanted to spend time with me and "cuddle" (which I hate). So how did she convince me to do it? Easy. She said, "Bring one of your Godzilla or Friday the 13th movies." That did it!

    One thing I thought was quite funny was that there were two instances during the final fight where Godzilla hits Kumonga on the top of his body (once with a rock, once with his breath), and during these times Kumonga flips over, in a really unnatural way. Because of that, my brother and I had a running joke that Godzilla was hitting his 'Flip' button

    My second favorite Godzilla movie behind "Godzilla vs the Sea Monster." I do NOT claim those are the best; just my own favorites. (There's a difference.) This one, for instance, is a movie I can put in my Blu-Ray player anytime, regardless of my mood, and enjoy it thoroughly.
    The pace is quick, the characters are memorable and likable, the story is just the right mix of science fiction and monster mayhem... And in spite of what is often said, the monster effects are actually very impressive!

    Wow, I loved this movie. The crew slowly warming up to Maki was great, Saeko was a charming character, the relationship between Godzilla and his son was genuinely heartwarming, all the monsters outside of Godzilla and Minilla looked great, Godzilla’s beatdown of the mantis trio was awesome, the suit actor for Minilla was clearly having a blast and the Father-Son Kamehameha…er, I mean, the Father-Son Atomic Breath was an awesome way to bring things full circle at the end.
    Combine all that with great pacing that never left me bored and this is one of my favorites of the Showa era as well (so far). Super charming Godzilla movie.
    EDIT: Oh, and the experiments the team was doing on the island and their goal of solving future overpopulation I thought was interesting as well. Takashima really sold it at the end when all their work finally paid off and he started to get emotional.
    EDIT #2: Ayyyyy I just finished the video and you made the Father-Son Kamehameha reference too! Great video.
