[gojirathekaijufan]

i knew we created godzilla with the bomb

[TheGreaterGood80]

The lazy British Gorgo is too busy living off benefits while the Asian immigrant Godzilla is doing all his work for him! j/k

[simplyblink182]

AHH! THE SQUEAK! IT BURNS!!!

[atherinomorpha]

The translation on the subtitle was inaccurate! Is this really from BBC?

[NWOareScum]

@atherinomorpha - i know a bit of Italian and less French, and subtitles on those films and tv are often wrong. not hugely inaccurate for the most part, but enough so there's a slightly different impression conveyed. still it beats being dubbed.

[Dinozilla626]

Which godzilla movie is that at 2:26?

[CrimsonSapphire99]

@Dinozilla626

The movie is called Destroy All Monsters. The scenes taken from the end of the film where the Alien Invader Bad Guys base is discovered by Godzilla and he gets his payback on them for taking control of his mind.

[ThePajamaGuy]

It's annoying how this is an English documentary and there are only two region 2 Godzilla films I EVER recall of: King Kong vs Godzilla and Godzilla 1998.

Please! We English NEED to see these films!

[Alexsplat2]

@ThePajamaGuy you can also get the original and it has some decent special features aswell

[NWOareScum]

@ThePajamaGuy - technically Japan is region 2 - but i know what you mean, even the recent bunch of Godzilla and Gamera and Mothra films got no releases in the UK, they do in the USA (and maybe Australian region 4) though, so depending how rich you are you may be able to buy them. or watch them online...

[KameMidori11]

Godzilla is a dinosaur composed of a Tyrannosaurus, Iguanodon, and Stegosaurus.

[Apokalypez]

1st time seeing this! The British break it down like dirty!

[TheDarkofTommy]

it makes my speakers spueak :(

[zillastyledotcom]

@TheDarkofTommy Yeah sorry about that, it's from a very old vhs tape.

[VenomShock]

@zillastyledotcom Hahahahaha I heard that, and was like "What the fuck is that?"

Then I saw this comment.

[RudySpino]

Weird, this is a 1998 documentary and the awful Godzilla suit at the beggining is more godzilla like than the creature in the american version movie of the same year.

[goreombola]

Is the composer just looking down on the floor or are his eyes closed when he's being interviewed?

[Kryp7K33p3r]

So it seems to me that the idea of Godzilla Was born from an atomic bomb. So from a certain perspective Godzilla's origin story is 100% true

[craponnaruto]

Who the fuck decided to use the Godzilla's Son suit?!

[BigSteve300]

I remember taping this. I still have the video somewhere.

[StupidTokuFan]

Tsuchiya FTW

[KaijuSlasher13]

that has got to be THE WORST GODZILLA SUIT EVER!

[davem2345]

get a bunch of british guys to talk bout anything and they can make it sound intellectual

[thekillerklown13]

worst looking godzilla suit at the beggining

[DeviantSon13]

@thekillerklown13

Ugh... Yeah! Just goes to show just how much people are convinced that the franchise is about the rubber suit. -.-

[UltimateLifeformRB]

@thekillerklown13

Makes the suit from Son of Godzilla look like the best one ever.

[mechatyler]

This is a great documentary!

[thomazpoa]

Thanks a lot for this documentary, from Brazil.

[August138]

This documentary was shot in 1998; I know, because I provided the Beeb with some of the Japanese interview subjects, and I was one myself!

I remember now yeah. The evening was a bit of a plug for the '98 movie, get a bit of interest in the genre. In the UK Godzilla movies were normally confined to late night triple-bills on Channel 4, ususally from the late Showa era.

Awesome book by the way!

[TheChoujinVirus]

and here in the US they were sometimes shown as specials on shows like Sci-Fi

[August138]

Thanks and cheers!

[megaman2160]

where is part 4?

[zillastyledotcom]

All uploaded, glad you liked it. I hope sooner or later the BBC put this stuff out on iplayer. I guess they've got so many documentaries it'd take ages to go through.

The documentary was made in the mid 90s. It was part of an awesome "monster night" which I'll upload soon enough.

[megaman2160]

when was this documentary made?

[MrSheltonTV]

1998 - in Britain Only: BBC - hype of GINO film '98 :)
