original godzilla clip

[The360Zombie]

This clearly inspired the scene from War of the Worlds! (The new one) The roar even sounds like the tripods.

[oldskoolrocker1000]

I liked that they kinda recreated the shot in GMK GIANT MONSTERS ALL OUT ATTACK XD

[TisJacob]

Turns out the Godzilla roar sound was a rusty iron gate outside the production office that made the film. They held a microphone to it as they opened and closed it. If you listen closely you can tell it's just some rusty springs. :)

[Gojira1985]

@TisJacob I apologize for responding to an old comment, but this is one of those things that would bug me.

Actually, Godzillas roar was made by the composer dipping a rubber glove into rosin (a material that improves the sound of string instruments) and rubbing it on the lowest string of a contrabass, which had previously been loosened and let out of tune. Then they messed around with it to make it sound like an animal noise. Those springs are actually a noises from a string instrument

godzilla 1954 cool movie

[gotch09]

I saw the Raymond Burr version when I was about 5, this is one of the scenes that gave me the willies.

[koukinshouyu]

Stop screaming! For God's sake! Have you seen his legs?!! HE'S NOT HOPPIN OVER THE HILL!!!

[LukeMM95]

I don't care who you are, anyone would crap their pants if they saw that!

[JohnnyP625]

Raaan! It's Gojiraaa!!!

[goofywilly]

I'm still having trouble finding any backers to help build a lifesize

Godzilla sculpture.

[countyworker]

0:07 is my favorite part!

[daftrok]

That roar at 0:07 will stay in my brain for all time.

[countyworker]

@daftrok i agree its my favorite part

[gingamaster134]

everyone who thinks this is scary is chicken

(mmmmmm...chicken...)

[endlessvoid4]

those 16 seconds changed me... forever.

[velocikiller13]

Scary, man!

[mcwilliams162]

in gmk godzilla also pokes out his head over the hill but then kicks and crumbles but that was a great tribute to this

[Ghost501090]

Godzilla 1954 was the scariest looking Godzilla and had the scariest roars.

[FunkyFrank10]

I like how the original Godzilla was a force of death and destruction. Later on he became a superhero.

[zillo15]

@FunkyFrank10  true but since 1985 he was a force of death again and he still saved people

[rickCoffee]

Originally in this scene, Godzilla was supposed to be holding a dead cow in his mouth.

However, it didn't turn out very well (and it was thought to be too graphic) so they re-shot it. (At least , that's what I heard on the DVD commentary.)

[FEARfilmz]

think about how terrifying it would be to see Godzilla poke his head out of a hill

[Zlagie]

@FEARfilmz I don't know why, but your comment made me laugh.

[erickBUENO2009]

@FEARfilmz yeah! imagine it's a 1954 movie! amazing raw film

[SuperbGodzilla]

I always thought of the original Godzilla as a "lazy" monster. I mean, c'mon, they had to drop a nuclear bomb just to get him outta bed!

xD

[Wunderwaffen1946]

@SuperbGodzilla - Did you never get why Godzilla threw a shit fit? He was nuked which as Dr. Yamane pointed out was why he left, somewhere in the Bikini Atoll area his old home was glowing green. I mean if I threw a gas bomb into your house you would come back and return the favor. Wouldn't you? Anyway the lazy one is King Caesar, a 7 minute song to wake him up.

[infox1000]

@Wunderwaffen1946 lol yeah and Godzilla still ended up beating Mecha Godzilla alone. 

[godzilla96]

i wish someone would upload the whole movie in youtube

[goofywilly]

Ive read that the "roar" was made by dragging various bows and things over the strings of a cello and miking them in odd ways.

[JadedGrey]

lol, wtf kind of roar is that?

[Godzilla1282]

Only the most famous cry of any creature ever to be dreamt of.

[Lefty001]

When I watched the original on tape 14 years ago, that was the most killer scene ever.

[rockboot90]

where can i find this movie? i'm dying to watch the original

[Pressence101]

try ebay

[Gojira2012]

actually try F.Y.E they have the japaniese tape "Gojira"

[Godzilla1282]

Also, its a 2 disc set. One has the American Godzilla With Raymond Burr and the othert has the original Japanese Version without im (with subtitles of course).

[drbotanus]

Which scene has the guy committing suicide. Isnt it when the islanders run down the beach?

[tearitupnstartover]

That was the scene that put my man over the top. That metallic roar preceded Led Zeppelin by a decade and a half!

[stillrages]

bahahha.

i wanna get this godzilla's beastly moan as a ringtone.

[XxChaos345xX]

LOL.

[Albert666fish]

oh noooo godzilla is gonna kill me!

[Zilla0769]

And Thus A Legend Was Born
