Making of the Godzilla Suit!

- The complete thirteen minute documentary by Godzilla expert Ed Godziszewski chronicling the evolution of the iconic Godzilla suit for the first Toho movie made in 1954. Numerous rare, behind-the-scenes still images of the Godzilla suit and of Japanese special effects legend Eiji Tsuburaya and his team at work.
When I was a little kid, whenever I saw the picture at 7:35 of the Godzilla suit with a walking cane, I always imagined the suit coming to life and talking like an old man. "Back in my day, sonny, we didn't have no fancy CGI!" I guess I just had an active imagination.
It looks
like a pic of him at the Old Giant Monster Retirement Home...

@@joeyvader Imagine just seeing a bunch of dead mothras, And then everyone just sighing and going on their merry way
This should exist as a comic
I'm glad Tsuburaya and his team invented suitmation. The movements are fluent and with the right camera work it looks very realistic. I think Suitmation combined with a bit CGI makes the best combination for great special effects movies.
I always liked the older Godzilla, I remember watching the movies as a child on Creature Double Feature. The War of the Gargantuas is still my favorite but will always watch a Godzilla movie whenever I can, Thanks for sharing!
Have you seen the new 2014 Godzilla film?
A work of ART!
Old-Man Parker yep a masterpiece.
The narrator forgot to mention the Beast from 20,000 fathoms because it was one of the inspirations of Godzilla. Toho also saw the beast from 20,000 fathoms.
Don't worry. He mentioned it in another featurette called "Godzilla Story Development".
@@ricardodavis4730That’s good. Thanks!
I did read that the guy who wore the 1st working suit lost a lotta weight & suffered fainting spells, his sacrifice was not in vein! As the big G is STILL the most awesome creature ever!!!

I'd love to see a follow up on Godzilla 1984. The story behind the design of that particular Godzilla is almost as fascinating as that of the first.
Yesssss yes yesss
Wasn't it stolen sometime after production where it's still missing to this very day?
@@titan133760 I think that was the mothra vs godzilla suit which was recovered. Unfortunately because of the material, that suit has completely rotted away at this point.
This is a great documentary. I have it on Gojira/Godzilla dvd. It's funny in the later Godzilla movies (1984 and later) the suit looks very dry and rubbery at times. The head also looks more robotic and moves very mechanically. I prefer the old Godzilla suit designs because he actually looks more organic and alive. The 1962 suit King Kong vs. Godzilla is my favorite.
That one is a fan favorite. He looks easily identifiable as Godzilla but has a more reptilian look than any of the others.
Wouldn't know what to do without my Godzilla!
This is an awesome video, detailing how the suit was made, how it operated during filming and what was planned before it was made. The Godzilla suit that started it all.
Happy 60th Birthday, Godzilla! 幸せな60歳の誕生日！--Very much enjoyed seeing this video & learning more about one of the most interesting & successful films in franchise history! Godzilla Rules! ゴジラのルール！
Just saw GODZILLA on TMC last night for the first time in 40 years. Neat post.
I can’t believe there are no “man in the suit” comments as of now
To be fair the last comment was 3 months ago
I WANT THAT SUIT SO BAD...
It would have rotten away by now considering the nature of rubber suits
Shame these suits don't last forever.
The original MechaGodzilla suit is still around, one of the only surviving Showa Suits.
Ever since I was a little one GODZILLA HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE MONSTER.
@@jasonschley1993 mine too!
And that's where Godzilla and the Japanese Kajiu films all began.
most lovable monster all the time ...
Still the definitive video of it's kind. Thanks for sharing.
Now this is from Gojira - Godzilla Classic Media DVD!
Godzilla: i like ya Cut G*slap zilla jr*
"1954 Godzilla's Abilities": Amphibious lifestyle, atomic breath, durability, bites, tail, physical abilities. "1954 Godzilla's Weaknesses": Oxygen Destroyer.
Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed.
5:54 Godzilla 2014 also had the same Alligator texture as the Alligator Godzilla. Cool quincidence.
Coincidence*
+ゴジラFan98 Thanks for spelling it right.
you mean the kinggoji suit?
+inferno Xray No.
Can you upload the full documentary of making the original King Kong 1933?
1954 Godzilla is a giant Irradiated Prehistoric Amphibious Reptile. Height: 50 meters tall.
If someone would want to make another Godzilla movie, like those, I like to do 2 Heisei series versions.
0:32 "smoke weed everyday"

Love it.. Great job.. Please do Gamra now 😁
Godzilla "King of The Monsters" and Overseer of the Human Race! You can never fear Godzilla. His underlying theme, "to keep humans safe." His senses was the ability to know when an alien monster was trying to overthrow the world. Mankind always thought Godzilla was out to get him, this was not true. Godzilla: overseer of children and forgiving of adults, who tried to take him out. Godzilla:Gagamera: Mankind's Best Friends! If Godzilla was around, no more wars, period! Take care, SingMia
I like this movie & it was the first Godzilla movie I ever watched & I liked it. The part where the kid is on the banana boat was always freaky when I was younger.
Damn u rock brother..nice vid...
Godzilla:
Definition: A radioactive lizard(Dinosaur)with stegosaurus spikes and very tall and can breathe radioactive blue fire
I got asleep at 2:15 after listening to this guy´s narration...
good movie
So the main animals this character spawned from were a Tyrannosaur, Iguanadon, Stegosaurus, and an alligator. He was charcoal grey? No wonder almost all the toys show him as grey.
Excellent video, sounds like that suit was a total death trap!
Excellent, the quality and detail is amazing. Do they make a documentary film of this?
3:47 YO IS THAT A DRAWING FROM ZDENĚK BURIAN
Awesome! Thanks!
@zillamaster2000
I also remember the scene in Terror of Mechagodzilla where Godzilla's back is on fire, the stuntman wasn't acting, the suit had been set on fire by accident and he was screaming for help
can someone help me design a suit . -.
You need cement to build it
An ICON !!!!!
Your right he was a big tough guy so that's when they come up the name and how Godzilla is very invincible when it comes to military weapons
Thanks for this video is was so helpful for me also how does the wire keep the suit closed
That's right, there was nobody named Gojira. But according to some sources (which I read years ago and can't recall the names) there was a stagehand who was quite large and fearsome looking whose nickname was Gojira, meaning Gorilla Whale. Gojira is actually pronounced "Go-dzee-lah," later render "Godzilla" in English.
Just wondering if Toho did keep original Godzilla clay models
2021 incoming anyone?
I've heard from other sources that the suit was brown. Do we have any accounts from the crew?
wow thats amazing
I wonder if those clay models are still around today?
I know. However, the point was correcting the idea that Gojira "translates" into English, when it doesn't: it transliterates. The choices in "l" over "r" are, well, yes, arbitrary. But the point I was making (see comment I was responding to) was in reference to the idea that it "translated," which it most certainly does not, hence the asterisks to imply emphasis.
It's a (rough, pseudo-inaccurate) transliteration, as it is still about converting to the phonetics of English, not semantic content.
@snakes3425 yes and I believe he also alost drowned during a water scene
All hail Haruo Nakajima!
in the first film he was an ancient dinosaur
godzilla means whale ape so if whale is kujira than go must be a part of ape, or am i wrong? idk cuz im not japanese
Actually, this is debatable. The true origin of the word is not known. Honda's wife said in an interview that he (Ishiro) liked making up these kinds of folk tales, or something like them (I'm paraphrasing). Also, there are no known workers who had that nickname.
Nice
When did Godzilla suits start incorporating ventilation systems?
+LaStriata never they just made the suits more slick and put them into a colder room
Starting with the MogeGoji design
Zilla jr: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
In 1963 i didnt know who Godzilla was
This is not true either. As Mrs. Kimi Honda points out, the nickname anecdote is most probably just another "tall story" from the boys at Toho. The name was coined after much discussions between Mr. Tanaka, Mr. Tsuburaya and Mr. Honda.
OMG we luv u Godzilla❤♥
I wonder Eiji would have thought of CGI
You know they are renting out Godzilla Millennium suits in Japan for 200 U.S. dollars
ie, a "translation" of Gojira would be if all us English speakers called him "OI' Whale Ape." Well. Not "Ol'" but, hey, that certainly would have a sort of rustic charm, wouldn't it?
(So it's far closer to bad transliteration than bad translation)
Didn't the actor in the costume pass out from heat stroke due to the weight and bulky nature of the costume
no it dosent translate into godzilla we just named it godzilla cuz it made more sense than gojira
I wish they would make the original godzilla look scary
It's honestly the scariest in the series...
GMK Godzilla scared the fuck out me
Were you in japan at the time just sayin I mean forums aren't always true not in reference to what you said
7:00 looks kinda like final wars godzilla :3
Hello sir I didn't expect you here XD
Actually, it translates into Whale-ape in English.
I thought the 1st godzilla suit was brown.
He was real. This movie is a conspiracy theory!:)
I CAN TALK
Technically it *transliterates* into Godzilla in English ;P
6:47 looks a lot like gmk to me
But derpy
Liked! wait... 666 likes... ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!!!!
*facepalm*
Wait...Incorrect Incorrect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diamond Demon Gaming
I quit internet logic.
I WANT HIS BABYS
That's a myth
Add something yo make it sound less boring
he couldn't
That story isn't true, there wasn't anyone nicknamed Gorjira at Toho. It's an urban legend and Gojira actually translates into Godzira in English, but they went with Godzilla.
No. Suits are better.
People in giant monster suits are awesome NOT CGI LIKE THAT OTHER GODZILLA IN 1998.
Actually this was proven wrong.
there is no evidence of a man named that its just a rumor.
Fake
