GODZILLA: MINUS ONE

By Dan Day, Jr. on Dec 2, 2023 From The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog

GODZILLA: MINUS ONE isn't just a great Godzilla film, it's a great film, period. Writer-Director Takashi Yamazaki's kaiju tale strikes the right balance between FX spectacle and human drama, and it's far more memorable than any brand-name franchise movie made in the last five years. It must be point... Read full article


A Godzilla Stumper

By The Metzinger Sisters on Oct 7, 2023 From Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers

All those Godzilla films look alike to me so I would like some help to a puzzle that has been stumping me. A year or two ago, my dad and I caught the beginning of an episode of Svengoolie (the MeTV horror TV program) and there was a Godzilla film on. Or, at least I think it was a Godzilla film. It l...

on Mar 26, 2020 From The Stop Button

I wonder if, much like that one immortal monkey divining Borges?s dreams and half-dreams at dawn on August 14, 1934, one could assemble a list of all the action beats in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which are mostly from Aliens and Jurassic Park 1 and 2, and arrange them to figure out the story t...

Kyohei Yamane-hakase: I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species... But if we continue conducting nuclear tests... it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.

Facts about

One of the original Godzilla designs was a monster with a head shaped like a mushroom, intended to recall images of mushroom clouds. A sketch of this design can be seen on the special edition "Gojira: The Original Japanese Masterpiece" DVD, and on the 2009 Godzilla Blu-Ray release.
There was another ending considered for the film: a scene with Emiko and Ogata (presumably after they had gotten married) flying over Tokyo Bay and throwing a floral wreath in the water in memoriam of Serizawa. However, that ending was scrapped because Honda felt that they had already paid tribute to Serizawa after he sacrificed himself to destroy Godzilla.
Tomoyuki Tanaka got the idea for the film while returning from Indonesia. He was looking down at the water and began imagining what was really below the surface.
