KING KONG VERSUS GODZILLA

The last film ended with Godzilla entombed in ice somewhere north of Japan. The USS Seahawk, a nuclear submarine is patrolling the waters when they run into an iceberg. Ask Rose if running into an iceberg is ever a good thing. This iceberg is even worse because it is the very same iceberg containing the frozen body of Godzilla. Iceberg.


The doomed USS Seahawk. What will their memorial look like?

Pointing in terror...At the ceiling of the windowless submarine.

If stored properly a Godzilla will bring you a lifetime of joy.

Dear Japan. I have returned. To kill everyone. Love, Godzilla.


The USS Seahawk...destroyed. Godzilla...on the loose,cold as hell and headed for Japan to get warm roasting cities.
Meanwhile, a Japanese pharmaceutical company discovers some precious berries on a distant island. One problem, the island is said to be protected by a giant creature. Regardless, the company dispatches two guys to 1) Get the berries and 2) Snag the monster for promotional purposes.


Mitt Romney’s cousin has some magical berries.

Smokes for the kids

When a giant octopus comes ashore for the berries, Kong protects his stash.

What better way to celebrate an eight-legged ass-kicking? Island Berry Juice.

ALCHOHOLIC Island Berry Juice. Kong is passed out drunk. No more yanky my wanky. The Konger need food.


Mission accomplished. The natives were bought off with cigarettes and booze and the company gets a giant drunked-up gorilla. Win-Win.
So now we have two giant monsters headed for Japan. Total fucking panic! Godzilla smashes some stuff. Kong smashes some stuff. Hey! I got it. Let's get Kong drunk, attach large balloons to him and float him to where Godzilla is hanging out so they fight...hopefully to the death.



While in Tokyo Kong takes a hostage and destroys a train. Nice manners. A-hole-San.

After Kong wrecks the city the military gets him drunk and straps balloons on him floating him to Godzilla so they fight.

Sadly the Oscar for special effects had yet to be established in 1962.


Really Japan? Do you think *maybe* this plan lacks foresight and *possibly* has greater potential for disaster than success? I hate to say it, but maybe a nuclear bomb or two might make this problem go away. You have to admit, its a dire situation you are in. Stop taking the high-road. Blow these fuckers up and get on with your lives.
The air-force drop offs a hung-over (not fair) Kong where Godzilla has set up shop at the base of Mt. Fuji. Its a pretty one-sided battle at first with Godzilla roasting Kong alive with his death-breath. Its looking bad for Kong when he an electrical storm rolls in and energizes the ape. Kong springs back into action, shoves a tree down godzilla's throat, destroys Atami Castle and with Godzilla falls off a cliff into the sea.


Mt. Fuji. Spiritual heart of Japan...and site of SUPER MONSTER SMACKDOWN 1962!

Godzilla’s fire breath beats the drunken ape.

It looks accidental enough, but i get the feeling Godzilla and friends get off on destroying buildings.

The tide is about to turn. Godzilla....

..SUCK ON MY TREE!
Kong and Godzilla locked in a death embrace fall into the ocean.Who won? Well, Kong was the only one seen swimming away.

Once again. Godzilla is defeated. Never to be seen again.

GODZILLA RETURNS IN GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA

GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN

The second Godzilla movie is more action and smash than Gojira. The story starts with Tsukioka and Kobiyashi flying over the Pacific in their sea planes searching for schools of fish. When they spot the fish, they radio to their ships at sea who head for the fish..Oh who the hell cares! When Kobiyashi crash-lands on a deserted Island he's suprised to find Godzilla...and ANOTHER monster.
Q: Did Godzilla die in the last movie?
A: Yes
Q: Then how...
A: Shut the fuck up.



Kobiyashi: destined for greatness or horrible death. Same thing.

When Tsukioka and Kobiyashi return to Osaka they inform the authorities of the new Godzilla threat and the New Monster.
Our dour professor from the last film is on hand to identify the new monster as an Angiusaur or Angirus. Anguris has horns, walks on all fours and has a whiny, sad wail.
I love Anguris.
Instantly the authorities decide Godzilla is headed toward the Japanese coast and hatch a plan to keep him from making landfall. They track him and when he gets close to Osaka they'll hit the lights and lead him back out to sea with pretty flares.

Magical Oil Painting Island.

Anguris in his high school yearbook.

For a second straight movie I feel we have no chance against these beasts.

The plan works great until there is a cock-up involving escaped prisoners and a flamable gas truck. Boom goes the dynamite and Godzilla decides to destroy Osaka for the hell of it.

Like Daniel Craig as James Bond, Godzilla knows how to come ashore in style.

Notice the sweet Godzilla figure used for easy tracking.

You'd destroy cities too if you had teeth like Jewel Godzilla.

Mid-destruction who arrives, but Godzilla's old foe Anguris. They fight it out and destroy double the property than the could by themselves, including Osaka Castle. The fight is brutal by men in rubber suits standards and it ends when Godzilla puts the dental clampdown on Angurius’ throat. He then torches the corpse. Osaka is equally torched.

Anguris, bored at home, follows Godzilla to Japan.

Godzilla, not pleased to see his frienemy Anguris, reacts the only way he knows. With city-destroying violence.

RIP Anguris: 100,000bc–1955

Godzilla escapes to the sea...whereabouts unknown. Until...Kobiyashi spots The G-man on another deserted island. The Japanese Defense Forces attack the strangely imoblie Godzilla on the island. After Kobiyashi pilots his plane into a mountain the JDF realize the best way to attack Godzilla is to target the mountain and try to bury Godzilla alive under rock and ice.

Success! Godzilla takes out dozens of planes, but the flyboys get the job done and bury Godzilla forever.
The end!


Kobiyashi is about to find out what Godzilla had for lunch.


The answer. Seals, Tuna and Strontium death.


This is what happened to JFK Jr. No one wants to admit it.

Fuck bombing the Monster, bomb the mountain.

Sadly, this model pilot is about to meet a miniature death.


Gigantis Godzilla buried alive in ice. Never to be seen again...ever. Never.

FILMS: Godzilla Raids Again
YEARS: 1955/1959 in U.S.
SERIES: 3 of 26
MONSTERS: Godzilla, Anguris
DESTROYED: Osaka, Kobiyashi
NOTABLE: Osaka Castle
DEATH TOLL: Hundreds, although evacuations were pretty thorough.

The film was called Gigantis: The Fire Monster when released in the U.S. Godzilla was called Gigantis throughout the movie and someone decided to switch the monster’s roars. So Godzilla sounds like Anguris. Its really, really distracting.

GODZILLA RETURNS IN GODZILLA VS. KING KONG

GOJIRA!

GOJIRA/GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS
The original Godzilla (Gojira) the first in the giant radioactive amphibian series is a much more sober movie than its 20+ successor films.
Plot. Ships at sea start disappearing baffling Japanese scientists and military. Cut to Odo Island...a typhoon comes ashore destroying villages, but the villagers are convinced the bulk of the destruction was caused by a giant not-so-mythical creature. The government gets involved and launches an inquiry. Dr. Kyohei Yamane is dispatched to the island to investigate. While there Godzilla attacks.
Later, Godzilla surfaces in Tokyo Bay. There is pridictable panic and a plan is formed. The plan doesn't work when a few days later Godzilla decides to do some of his patented smashy-smashy on Tokyo. Fire, destruction and mayhem reign.
Star-crossed lovers Emiyko and Ogata convince reluctant Mad scientist Dr. Sarizawa to use his Oxygen Destroyer (A force he accidentially discovered) on the beast. The terrifying weapon is used and Godzilla reduced to bones. The end.
Toho Studios means Quality.


Godzilla in Japanese. I'm guessing.


The sign reads "ANTI-GODZILLA HEADQUARTERS"


The reason to have an "ANTI-GODZILLA HEADQUARTERS"


Who knew metaphors could be so destructive?


Emiyko wipes blood from her man's face. Pussy.


Never. Ever fuck with a man wearing an eye patch.


Serizawa and Ogata prepare to fight Godzilla


Sarizawa’s Oxygen Destroyer.


A little plastic Godzilla in agony


Never. Ever fuck with a man wearing an eye patch.
