When Godzilla's existence became known, the American military began detonating a series of nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands to try and kill the creature, under the guise of nuclear testing. On March 1st, 1954, Godzilla was lured ashore at Bikini Atoll, where the American military detonated...
WE RANK 'EM: The Films of Godzilla's Showa Era I’m not so mad as to attempt to rank *every* Godzilla film in one list (at least not today) because there are 37 of them (including the four American movies) and that is far more than I’m prepared to take on for a single artic...
America’s version of the film utilized original footage from the 1954 film, but forced in an unnecessary American reporter that covered the devastation of the giant monster. Now, fans will have both versions in one complete package. See the official synopsis from the Criterion Collection’...
(Tanaka was so displeased with the American version of the song that only the original Japanese version is available on the U.S. home video release, unless you’re willing to shell out big bucks for an old VHS edition.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81dIhqik-OQ It seems ...

when Honda’s 1954 version of the film was included in the Public Theater’sSummer in Japanseries in New York City. An eclectic mix of titles, the series marked Tōhō’s fiftieth anniversary. Then I knew nothing about Tōhō’s apparent penchant to screenGojiraonly on such commemorative occas...
There's also the fact they waited five years after the previous film. I wonder if the same thing is going to happen with the next American film. They're going to wait four years before they release the next one and the iron gets considerably cool. Whatever goodwill you built up t...
