"The ladies love Gorosaurus!" A more accurate statement shall never be uttered.
especially if you have one
*"LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!"*
I was born in 1946 and remember all the great Saturdays I spent at the theaters watching Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan movies. A bag of popcorn, a fountain Coke, and I was in heaven.
Jesus i was born in 1996 you were 50 that year the fact your even on youtube is pretty cool
@@ahhh4836 Don't think you're too young mate; I was born in 2004 - Allow me to bow down to the senior Godzilla fans. :):)
@@Grandmaster_Dragonborn shit my firsy godzilla movie i seen was godzillas revenge in the cheap dvd bin at walamrt and the theme song to that movie always hauts me lol and i was in first grade in 2003-2004 i also seen the rest of the showa era series movies on tv on IFC or Scy Fy
@@Grandmaster_DragonbornI was born in 2011
@@ahhh4836was it good (hint: it's not)
This movie was the holy grail of Godzilla when I was a kid. I searched forever for "the one with all of em".
Final Wars was a great remake/ reimagining
Can't tell you how much I've loved these "The History of Godzilla..." series. Look forward to it every time I see a notification! Well done man. This was one of the first Godzilla movies I watched after the original Gojira as a child, and really made me an Anguirus fan....or as I affectionately referred to him as a kid, "Pokey monster". Great video!!
I’m impressed with how the space crew didn’t fog up their helmets with their breathing. I mean they had a piece of plexiglass an inch from their mouths and noses!
Special special effects!
Lol I never noticed that! Hey Buford did you catch that damn Bandit yet? Hahaha!
Ah yes..... the "Endgame" of the Showa Monsterverse
Should final wars be the infinity war?
More like showaverse
@@aeoe665 😂 yup
And I guess everything after in the Showa era is the new phase! 🤣
Indeed
33:14 I love how Haruo Nakajima had Godzilla grab the head of Ghidorah, shake it then threw it down. I don’t know why but I just love that
Gorosaurus has his shining moment in this film w/that kick to Ghidorah's back.
*"LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!"*
This was the first official Toho Godzilla movie I watched during my teenage years,To this day it is my favorite Godzilla movie it was on the other day on Comet TV.
That's good to here that channels put this out there. HBO Max has all the origin Godzilla flicks except the 1st Godzilla vs King Kong.
Comet TV is on RUclips TV it's a Sci Fi/Fantasy Channel its basically what SyFy Channel should be but isn't nowadays. They even show Quantum Leap and Farscape.
My father took me to see this in the theater way back when...about 1970. And likely seen it a dozen times in reissues for Saturday matinees. It remains a great favorite...and one of the few dubs I watch (the original AIP version that is). To my 8 year old eyes...it was the greatest thing ever.
I will only watch the AIP dub or the original subtitled. That 'International version' dubbing is just awful!
This flick is one of the first Godzilla movies I watched as a kid and it remains one of my favorites. The production design, the gunfights, the bad dummy suicide fall, the big monster throw down. You can’t ask for much more! Thanks for this and all your other history videos, they’re awesome. 👍
This movie is without a doubt one of the greatest films in the series! This is Godzilla’s version of endgame at least for the Showa era! Now I really hope that the future films try to give a a modern twist on this old school film.
They tried with Final Wars. But I hated the Gotengo. Definitely not a Moonlight SY-3. That ship was tough. My only question was..Why no laser/maser on the ship itself? It was only on the buggy.
9:23
Me: “He said the thing!!!!” *Stands up and starts applauding.* *Wife looks dumbfounded*
This was the first Godzilla movie I saw. Watched it on TV at the age of four in 1974. Still remember seeing Mothra destroy that train and then Toyko get destroyed. This is the "All Star" of Toho Kaiju movies. That's why it's very popular. The plot could have been alot better, but the big fight scene is what makes it so loveable. Good job as always with your analysis! Keep it up!👍
I think you're spot on with this one. Way too much boring human activity, with one awesome final monster battle that ends just as it seems to get going.
I remember seeing Varan in the closing bit as a kid and was always very confused. I spent a lot of time with the movie paused just trying to figure out who he was and why he seemed to be floating. I also had been confused as who Baragon was since he only was in the one scene. At one point, I thought maybe Varan was Baragon, before just settling on it being some weird monster they never mentioned.
Yeah that always confused me too. Varan was never mentioned by name in the movie as far as I remember and despite being a "gliding" monster he always seemed to be eerily floating when on camera. Also a shame that they didn't use the Baragon suit for the Paris sceens; creates a bit more confusion when the dubbing mentions him but Gorosaurus is shown.
same they were only on screen for like a matter of seconds makes me wonder why they were even included at all. I'm sure Toho must have had costumes that were in better condition to use hell, i don't even think their suits even looked that bad i think they could have been given more screen time without it being to distracting. they literally have blink and you miss it cameos especially Varan
Same
Someone should make a video explaining all the showa era monsters that were not in godzilla movies but were in the godzilla universe. Movies like king kong escapes, and rodan, ect...
The only thing I can think of is that Gorosaurus has their original roars (Varan and Baragon). Speaking of Baragon...he looks less like a prehistoric pug dog than he did in Frankenstein Conquers The World.
Plus Gorosaurus appears to get the ladies.
10:54
My favorite Showa Godzilla movie of all time.
Still one of my favorites despite the lack of monster action, the final battle makes up for it. Imagine if Final Wars had followed this more closely and had a massive melee at the end with the Earth monsters breaking free of the Xillians' mind control and battling Gigan and Keizer Ghidorah. Zilla would have really redeemed himself if he got to lunge atop Keizer Ghidorah and start mauling him as an homage to Gorosaurus and his tide-turning kangaroo kick.
That’s a great idea! Except for the Zilla part. Pretty sure the G-Man annihilated the crap out of him which should remain that way.
@@dragon_ninja_2186 Zilla saved Jet Jaguar and Godzilla's lives in the IDW comics. It's been over 20 years, let the poor guy have some peace and niceness.
A monster melee would be what the doctor ordered for Final Wars. I was less favorable of Kaiser Ghidorah, give me the classic King Ghidorah.🐲🐲🐲
Legendary should make Destroy All Monsters with the Main Villan of the Monsterverse and that is Destoroyah.
This is my favourite Godzilla film still. I will admit the alien plot does feel like a retread in hindsight, but I just love the monster battles & global attacks along with the futuristic setting that when I first watched it was only 6 years away... which for an 8 year old was an amazing prospect along with Back to the Future 2's 2015.
I have always loved how all the miniature missiles , tanks, arillery, etc firing at the monsters always destroy more of Tokyo than the monsters.
Bill your history of godzilla vids always put a smile on my face. I know this sounds cliche and you've probably heard it a million times but it really does. No other RUclips videos can make me smile the way you do
I appreciate it, thank you for the kind words =]
Been looking forward to this one. Destroy All Monsters was the 2nd Godzilla movie I ever saw and if the tag team in Godzilla vs Megalon made me a lifelong fan, the monster brawl in this one blew my little child mind. For my entire childhood this was the best movie ever
This is the best series of videos on youtube
I've throughly enjoyed all of these retrospectives. I'll be sad when you've done them all.
History of : War of the Gargantuas
& Frankenstein conquers the world please sir!
And Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (the original)
Sometime in the early 70's, without actually telling my parents where I was going, I took off on a Saturday afternoon and caught a double bill of DAM and its opening act, Yog Monster from Space. The theater was only a mile or so away. The latter film bored the hell out of me and I've never seen it since. Destroy All Monsters on the big screen was amazing. At that age seeing multiple Toho monsters in one film blew my little mind.
I'm glad that when i was a kid i loved everything about the godzilla movies, not just the Monster Action. It was even more satisfying to wait for 30-40 min to finally see Godzilla. For me this movie was one of the best. I loved the Story, the Characters, the music, and the Monster Action.
I agree! This is my favourite Godzilla movie and it's a guilty pleasure. I wacth this movie every month and the music! Perfect!
I am so glad that your parents had you and encouraged your Godzilla addiction (I think they're called enablers) , for you have made my life SOOOOO much easier !! I greatly appreciate all the time , research and energy you put into these amazing productions , not to mention the video production alone !! Anyway THANK YOU SO MUCH !! - Because , being born in 1967 (Yes , I am old) and being a 70's kid , I grew up on Monster Movies , Comic Books and Rock n Roll !! However , I am far too lazy to have done all this work myself !! This way , I just get to enjoy and learn from all your hard work and sweat !! Plus there's some good humor thrown in as a little bonus !! So , one more time - GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! Oh yeah , there was no internet then , so there's no way I could have dug up even ten percent of that information !! By the way , your obsessive and meticulous deep-dive-digging is mind blowing !! You could use those skills as say .... oh , maybe a detective , perhaps ?
Interesting note is that in the Japanese trailer of this film Godzilla, Rodan, Manda, and Mothra are attacking Tokyo before Godzilla "commands" an air raid on Tokyo as King Ghidorah flies over with Anguirus still hanging on to one of his necks till he's dropped by Ghidorah into the city and a big explosion occurs afterwards.
As one of seven Varan fans, I thank you for the shout out! Great vid!
Love, just love the Akira Ifukube film music.
Not gonna lie, This is my favorite Godzilla movie and for a time when I was a kid, it was my favorite movie bar none. I loved it so much in fact that my parents even bought it for me for my 10th birthday, so it was also the first movie I ever owned. As an adult, I can critically look at it and admit that it's not the best Godzilla movie out there, but I still love all of it, even the human characters. Thanks for another great Godzilla history video!
I’ve been watching these after each installment in my own Godzilla movie watch along project and I gotta mention that I love the little shots you put in of Godzilla in Kamurocho (or Kabukicho in real life). As a Godzilla and Yakuza fan, that always makes me happy.
Destroy All Monsters is one of my favorite Godzilla movies. It's just pure Showa Era greatness.
I saw DAM at the drive-in when I was about 11. It was all I could talk about for days. I still enjoy it to this day.
Still love Godzilla after all these years. This video brings back many many happy memories.
the final fight just being essentially a handicap match between all the Earth monsters beating up on Ghidorah amuses me so much.
You now have my favorite videos on RUclips thanks for the time and effort you put in your videos, very informative and good!
Another fantastic video Bill, so insightful and entertaining. Thank you.
You're videos are always a fun watch man. Keep it up!
lmao I fucking LOVE the blow up doll suicide scene. one of the funniest parts in any Godzilla film. I would never in a million years have them cut or edit it.
Always a pleasure -- The narration and timing are spot on. Excellent edit. Looking forward to the next one my friend...
Had a long week, seeing this uploaded has made my day
Loving your videos. Thank you for doing these
Finally. . . . a Godzilla video from the main man & best Godzilla themed channel out. ( I was not paid for this message)
I found your channel yesterday and i gotta say... I love your Godzilla vids. Thank you so much for these entertaining vids!
I watched the last of your videos last night and was sad I didn't have any more, then I wake up to this. Nice way to start the day
I love these videos, thank you!!
This stuff is so, so good.
I've been absorbing and recommending these videos at an alarming rate.
I remember seeing this on vhs as a kid plus sun coast video and that art from the movie takes me right back to my childhood.
Hey! I was just wondering about this episode, thanks for the upload
I have no idea how I ended up at your channel today, but I'm glad I did. These videos are fun and very informative. Thank you.
Rodeny Dangerfield as Anguirus is probably the best comparison for the Killer of the Living I've ever seen.
Wonderful video, thanks so much! This was my favorite Godzilla movie and in fact remains one of my favorite movies of all.
the story 0:12 I kid you not, that was EXACTLY how I found this movie as well when I was younger. SAME COVER ART TOO
I am one of those 7 Varan fans, and I could have been happier. Justice for Varan!
I love these videos, I always find out something new about a series I was confident I knew everything about
This is my favourite showa suit btw
I first saw Destroy All Monsters in a movie theater in Oklahoma. It didn't come to TV in the area until a couple years later.
I've been going through the series in order after watching a handful out of order. Excited for the next installment in the series!
I saw this as a kid not long after seeing the original Godzilla film. I have fond memories and in spite of it's faults, I still love it. I like the alien stuff, Moon stuff and shoot outs. I know Invasion of Astro Monster did it first but I still love DAM.
18:16 - I love the reference you did there. That movie is very well made. DAS WAR EIN BEFEHL! I love that line.
Love that footage of the Toho headquarters in your videos. Whenever it pops up a couple times a video I cheer maniacally and say "Go! Go! Go! Go! Yaaaay!!"
amazing video
I’m loving this series. I’m watching it as I watch through all the Godzilla movies again. And the SY-3 is like one of the coolest space craft ever
Love you! thanks
I saw this at a drive-in in South Jersey back in 1970. It was the main movie of a triple feature along with 'Ghidrah, The Three-Headed Monster' and 'The Green Slime'. I can still remember being in the back of my parents Rambler station wagon and watching the final battle. I was 5 years old at the time and as you can tell, this movie made a lasting impression on me. It's still remains my favorite Godzilla movie of all-time. Thank you very much for posting!!
Bad ass vid! Keep them coming!
Keep these coming please, these are great I'm watching these in release order up to 1971
I think the English-language title "Destroy All Monsters" may be one of the greatest titles in the history of cinema. It promises so much! And the movie more or less delivers.
This was the Godzilla film that was seemingly never on TV where I lived in the late 70s/80s. Finally in 1991 I got a bootleg VHS of the original AIP dub. A few years later sci-fi channel started airing it with the inferior Toho dub, but at least the original has been preserved by fans.To this day, it is still my favorite Godzilla film.
You just blessed my day 😍😍
I feel so bad for varan he needs to have more plz return in the future
Love these videos, Godzilla!!!
Oh bloody hell. I got excited, LOVE these documentaries. Now I'm VERY much looking forward to All Monsters Attack
In the 1970's growing up in South Jersey we had a Theater that showed Double Features every Saturday. A lot of Classic Horror and Sci-Fi. We saw DESTROY ALL MONSTERS and I was in GODZILLA HEAVEN!!! So much fun.
great flick, I love when Godzilla drop kicks the door to the alien base.
I’m sure people comment this quite a bit (and there are times I almost have before), but that opening you gave about that cover being the coolest thing you’ve ever seen is literally identical to my experience.
Down to the suncoast video (which I frequented often with my dad or grandma to buy Godzilla and DBZ stuff). Idk just thought it was cool.
The best scenes of DAM are:
1. The fireball on top of SY-3 and trying to shake it off. The background music
2. Burning off the spinning remote control. The background music. Katsuo, it could explode.
The API version is the best too.
This was by far my favorite Godzilla movie at the time. As a kid we obviously did not have cable or streaming services so we had to check the weekley tv guide and see when Gidzilla would pkay on the reature feature that paticular Saturday episode. If i saw D.A.M. waa playing on the creature feature that paticular weekend. My whole week would revolve around the wsit for the movie.. Destroy all Monsters was my favorite and ill still watch it on accession with the great child hood memories I had.
As for the most innocent lighthearted fun, the best Godzilla movie. This one really takes me back to my childhood years were I sat front row in the cinema with my eyes opened in awe!
Amazing clip choice at 2:24
An absolute favorite of mine from my childhood! And I love that Sopranos cutaway :-)
My second favourite Godzilla movie.
I remember the days of going to the mall, and immediately running to Sun Coast to find any new Godzilla movies there. Glad to see I wasn’t the only one
I still have that same VHS from almost 30 years ago and I have still never made it all the way through without falling asleep lol.
This was the first Showa Era Godzilla movie I have EVER seen after the 1998 Roland Emmerich Godzilla movie.
Say what you will my friend, I grew up with the Toho monsters and actors, this movie...Destroy all Monsters, Monster Zero , Ghidorah, the 3 headed Monster and Godzilla v the Thing were my favorite monster mash movies. As a kid I was a good kaiju artist, I made extra allowance/comics money drawing pictures for my classmates. Back in the 70's a local TV station aired afternoon themed movies. Sci fi, Space and Japanese movies kept me busy with monster requests . Oh to the good ol days 🐲
Thanks for the labor and enthusiasm you put behind every commentary. Looking forward to more.
Destroy All Monsters is one if my Favorites, in terms of color quality, model work and all out crazy monster action.
Me: sees that Baragon picture at 16:42
"whatcha doing there Baragon?"
I always had to catch this movie on tv (Usually on TNT). I almost always caught in glimpses and it would be years before I would see this movie in it’s entirety. But nonetheless one of my favorite Showa era movies.
Is anyone gonna point out that monster land is basically Dr. Yamane’s dream? A place where Kaiju like godzilla can be studied, not killed
I swear, us Godzilla fans and History majors are by far the most sarcastic people on the planet, only because we love to know so much. I do also pity you for having to make a video about all monsters attack...
On the subject of varan congratulations on getting a blue ray in July👏👏👏👏👏. 10:41 so then why is the larva on monster land instead of infinite island? And what happened to it? Also why contain the monsters. This is 2 decades after terror of Mechagodzilla by that point humanity and Godzilla are buddies. Maybe I'm overthinking this
This was one of my favorites. This was Jurassic Park before Criton had the idea. It's Kaiju-palooza.
I missed this movie every time it was on TV. Got it on DVD finally.
This movie put me through hell, as a young kid I read about it from the library books on godzilla movies, blew my mind at the thought of all them ganging up on one, looking forward to the MV take on it ;)
I remember making my mom buy this movie for me on VHS for my 11th birthday because I couldn't find it anywhere, and had always wanted to see it! That same box art had me entranced at Suncoast video, but they closed before I could go back to buy it!
I think it was this film, I don’t entirely remember, but I remember being at my dad’s place before he passed away. We were skimming through tv channels and one channel had the English dub of this film. I don’t remember much of it because I wasn’t really interested in that stuff. (Playing video games).
Though today I kinda think fondly of it. Yeah it was just part of the film but any memory of my dad is a rather fond one. Especially since I’m getting into kaiju films.
(I still don’t remember if it was this film but still a nice memory.)
That scene when Anguiris bit Gidorah and was still hanging on when he went up in the air! Man, the kids in the theater went crazy during this back in the day! 😄
