MECHAGODZILLA Is The One How Will Fall...

Hi Brandon i saw the original king v godzilla back in 2018 i it was good for 1962

TheY both have fallen 10000000 times

Here's to hoping they both don't fall due to Toho and possibly Universal copyright claims. :(

In the original gojira we’re told that Godzilla is the name of a old Japanese legend

@@Reindogreproductionsin gojira he is called gojira.godzilla is the Americanization

You are not dead. If you were you would not have been able to have written your comment.

@@michaelerickson985 its a joke

I wish they made like South Park and killed that Kenny.

And the new Kong vs Godzilla has a kenny.

@@michaelerickson985 r/wooooosh......someone had to do it

Everybody knows about Godzilla & Mothra's torrid love affair.

@@gabrielboorom6196 it’s a very complicated platonic relationship

@@RetroFan2.0 Hey I don't judge. They were both consenting kaiju.

@@gabrielboorom6196 dude chill, you're going to trigger the furries and my split personality.

@@gabrielboorom6196 Wait what?!

He should've been on the staff for this film. What they did to him was a disgrace.

Actually, his health had begun to decline several years earlier, both from losing projects to his protege, Ray Harryhausen, and to Hollywood producers believing him to be past his prime. The latter has some value, as he often supervised productions and let others, like Pete Peterson and Harryhausen, do most of the animation work, such as with 1949's "Mighty Joe Young." Later productions either never developed or were low-budget affairs that gave him little to do. For "Behemoth, the Sea Monster," budget cuts forced him to use a wooden model that bobbed in the water and could not move its neck (see the infamous ferry scene). In "The Black Scorpion," the special effects budget ran out and several scenes of the scorpion remain as see-through matte shots. Also, Irwin Allen hired O'Brien but opted to go for the lazy method of gluing horns on lizards to pass as dinosaurs. Then, in 1956, O'Brien wrote the treatment for "The Beast From Hollow Mountain" and sold the idea to his "good" friend Edward Nassour, who promised to hire O'Brien as animator. Nassour promptly took the idea, reworked it, hired another animator and actually barred O'Brien from the set. As for "King Kong vs. Godzilla," Toho's involvement meant guys in rubber suits, so there would have been little to no room for O'Brien's involvement. Also, O'Brien had already suffered several minor heart attacks, was 76 years old and no one was sure he could have even handled the rigors of doing a major motion picture.

Hence when I said it took a toll on him. He literally died months later, he was quite the tragic figure. His children were murdered by his wife, he struggled financially and got shafted on something he helped create. Remember Kong is as much his as it was Coopers. Either way it is a damn shame.

@@aaronmoran7195 Not to mention the original "The Lost World" which started it all.

@@varanid9 Very true. I have the special edition of it on dvd, still entertaining.

Same here!

Since this is the NA version he is reviewing, there is a big chance that Universal will call copyright too. :(

Yep same here

👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

Toho vs. Universal: Copyright Wars

It weird that he didn't mentioned that.

I loved that scene, probably my favorite easter egg/cameo in any media

I wonder if in Skull Island the scene between him and the squid was a tribute or homage to him fighting octopus in this movie?

@@machinedragonnero7740 I like to think so

When will octosploitation movies be banned?

That's the biggest sin. There's a hell of a lot more to go around

Much closer. Considering Mothra & King Ghidorah were right around the corner, this was arguably the biggest stinker before Godzilla's Revenge.

*HE CAN DENY US NO LONGER!!*

Honestly Brandon needs guilted to get to that sooner than later, he really shouldn't want that to be the LAST Godzilla movie he does. Talk about a weak send off, like ending a party by being punched in the dick by a drunk kangaroo.

@@TheRhuen That's an extremely valid point actaully that I don't think anyone else considered before.

Oh god no.

It was either that or "That's a lot of fish".

The more you know.

I had suspected as much, given that I vaguely remember coming across that tidbit of information somewhere. Plus the tanks have red stars if I remember right...

I just checked. In fact, there is a red star on the Sherman tanks XD BUT there is also a white "American" star... :-/

@@grot7x603 to be fair during World War II the u.s. really did give a lot away during Lend Lease. This would come back to bite Us during Korea. Regardless a weird bit of continuity or non continuity of world events in the Godzilla universe. Thank you for noticing. Myself I never did till it was pointed out.

Are you think of Sakhalin?

@@RichardWatt sorry I'm not sure I follow, the who of what now?

me too

And the italian chief scientist Dr. Ravioli (edit: sorry guys, I didn't mean to mess up how the joke works TT-TT But hey, at least your corrections were hilarious haha)

@@DeepEye1994 no that’s not how the joke works

@@xninewxw7559 you’ll have to excuse DeepEye. He _meant_ to refer to Dr. Haggis. He’s from Egypt.

@@DeepEye1994 isn't dr. Ravioli Danish?

@@DeepEye1994 think Jewish guy named Dr. Footlong

I love that line though. Top 10 bad dubbing that's so bad it becomes good again.

@@gabrielboorom6196 Actually, the original Japanese line is similar, since the guy only cares about his television ratings and Godzilla returning is causing him to lose ratings, which is why he wanted Kong. The Japanese version has a pretty big take that to television throughout the film.

@@GoGojiraGo Oh yeah. I've sat through the entire Japanese version. There was some message about commercialism & unearned praise that seemed to get lost in the translation for American audiences.

I am actually sick of Godzilla. He killed my Japanese friend.

I did

He's addicted to that berry juice

@@smithwesson1896 He was hitting that stuff awfully hard

Wait till you see the King Kong escapes review

I grew up with the American version and only saw the japanese version for the first time about a year ago. I appreciate the satire more in the japanese version.

Not only that but some American versions of the films, Varan for example, they go and change so much of it.

@@dylangrant102 Way too much. Ifukube’s music fits as intended. I cannot take seriously the shoving in of random Hollywood stock music because none of them ever fits. Just dub the voices and leave it at that. Only time music replacement ever worked for me was in friggin Yu-Gi-Oh! At least in that anime the new music fit the tone.

@Jh LG In the Japan version it was a draw.

@Jh LG Nope. Both fall into the sea and Kong swims away. Same in the US version. The double ending is a debunked myth.

worse wont the right holder to kong also flag him too??

lmao

LOL

Don’t you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby !

@@Marveryn **Godzilla vs king kong 2021 REQUIEM**

One thing?😅

I have a list🤣

I couldn't help but be stupified by the use of The Creature From The Black Lagoon for some of the fight scenes.

Yes, it is a good score, probably Ifukube's best.

Hans Salter, whose music got ground into filler music for this movie, was no sloucher when it came to composition. He was a student of Alban Berg, a prominent composer of the so-called Second Viennese School, which drifted away from conventional tonality, and which accounts for some of the "horror music" sound of old Hollywood. So yeah, Salter was disrespected in a way as well, and probably didn't see a dime from its usage here. Of course, the removal of Ifukube's score is criminal for sure. I don't understand, for example, why they omitted the music from G's rampage at the military base. As we all know, hearing one of Godzilla's motifs makes his scenes more thrilling. But hey I guess the honchos at Universal knew best, not knowing the opprobrium they would receive from dedicated fans of the massive catalog of kaiju movies nearly 60 years (and counting) later. Short-term gain, long-term disrespect...

Yee

And the naval vessel that tried to stop them? In Japan, they were not trying to stop them - they were bureaucrats, seeking fees and payments for permits and licenses for Kong's passage. Also, Mister Tako (Taco?) had a superior as dismissive of him as he was of the others. It's not quite as different as G Raids Again Vs. Gigantis, but it comes close.

"The Japanese workplace: i.e., a cluelessly incompetent boss makes ridiculous or impossible demands, and the employees are morally/professionally obliged to do their best anyway." Isn't that every workplace?

@@azuretiger-kfpmarketingstr6018 Absolutely, yes. But I've heard the Japanese senpai/kohai dynamic just takes it that little bit further still. And the Japanese movie industry has never stinted in making comic use of the fact...

I mean, cultural specifics aside, it probably would have translated at a general level here. And at least in recent years, Office Space, Dilbert (although bleh to Scott Adams), and, well, The Office have mined the related office dynamics for comedy gold. Mad Men was more understated and sardonic, though.

Was there continuity with the first King Kong movie?

Yet the moment Godzilla breaks out of the ice they scream "It's Godzilla!"... As a kid, I always took the "The world is shocked to discover giant monsters" as a sort of general statement on the world. Like "In recent years, the world has been shocked to find that giant monsters exist"....

@@louisduarte8763 No. This is a brand new King Kong created for Godzilla's universe.

Yeah, I did find that rather odd. Maybe there was a copyright issue with name dropping the first or second film.

Well Godzilla Raids Again wasn't localized here as a Godzilla movie so it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense anyways, I think

MM SHUT UP

*M O N K E*

Uh Oh, stinky

M O N KE

@Taylor Gordon shut up

Yeah

America's not the one who added the cigar-party, or the CEO taking bets on who'll win the first battle.

I saw the Japanese version of KKvG, and it seemed to be sillier with the actors. Honestly, that version really did not impress me.

Japanese version is a comedy, but it's actually funny

Classic

@Sparkling Cyanide nice to know

@Sparkling Cyanide Yeah I can’t argue there.

@Sparkling Cyanide thanks for the information, might use it some time

If it's prepared well, octopus is delicious.

Gimme that go-go-jira! Go-go-jira! Go-go-jira! Ba-dum bam-bam-bam.... Bam-bam-bam! Nuclear waste! In Kong's face! Oops! A light-ning storm!

Brandon, you crazy bastard! I love you!

That made me smile

Godzilla v. Babymetal

That's not the suit making that noise. That's a foley sound edited in of his hands clapping.

Your lucky. Seems every theater in 100 miles of me is either still idled or out of business.

You are so lucky! I saw it at home and it was soo dope!

When I saw this for the first time as an 8 year old budding kaiju fan that made no sense to me either.

Maybe lots of people thought the previous Godzilla attacks were hoaxes.

Yeah, pretty much all of the Godzilla movies are on Criterion. It makes collecting them all really expensive...

WHAT.

@@otaking3582 only the showa era, but it does include the japanese and American versions of this movie, also.its alot cheaper buying them all in the collection than individually

More importantly, the superior Japanese version is on the Criterion Collection. It's the only legal way to watch it in the West.

NANI?

@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin no ads

@@thatonedude1835 it... it was a reference

I've watched ALL of these reviews- this one is NOW my favorite because.... BABYMETAL!!!

What the fuck is “Godzilla’s counterattack?”

@@marciedresel7051 aka "Godzilla Raids Again" aka "Gigantis the Fire Monster"

@@GoGojiraGo Ah.

Kong doesn’t have a Star? That sucks.

@@coyotefever105 I like to comment to people who say What does godzilla has that kong doesnt

I don't know why in the bloody blue hell anyone would want to watch the American cut, English dubbed version of ANY of the Godzilla movies. 9 out of 10 times they completely butcher and bastardize the movie.

@Sammy I believe it does but as a special feature.

The only American version I am ok with watching is King of the Monsters. I of course prefer the original Japanese version, but I am glad that the Criterion blu ray has it included on the disc also

Another Babymetal song in part 2! Woo hoo! Yeah! Kitsune up for Gojira!

You know what I didn't realize I appreciated until watching these old Kaiju films? Being able to SEE the monsters! Seriously, everything is now in clouds, at night, underwater, during a hurricane, and obscured by smoke.

@@kennethfharkin Yup. We've gone from trying to cover up wires and zippers to covering up crappy cgi. At least the zippers and wires have a campy charm to them.

Yes

Brandon said once that the dark tone about nuclear power of destruction of 1954 gojira wouldn't fit so well with his sarcastic jokes i don't remember which godzilla video but he did give a reason.... sort of. BUT he can do raids again or Gigantis which is the rushed sequel to the 1954 Gojira

He could do the Raymond Buuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrr version.

@@icedevilart1379 He said he'd do the Raymond Burr version

@@smithwesson1896 aaah ok

he should also do godzillas revenge and the 1998 zilla.

And that lizard was possibly the inspiration for GvK'stake on the Foetodon.

Brandon finally realized that BABYMETAL makes EVERYTHING better?

Please don't tell me the guy's first name is "Yaki."

@@mightyfilm What?

His name would be, in Japanese with the surname being first, Mr. Tako Yaki.

HERE WE GO!

Donkey Krunk vs. King K. Drool Now all we need is Kong throwing barrels at Godzilla and Godzilla throwing a crown at Kong.

​@@nicholaslienandjaja1815Krunky Kong!

Still salty that Rocky whipped roided-up Drago's ass too?

@@ConstantineFurman What, you my ex-lover from a past century? According, to the film director of Godzilla vs Kong(2021) Kong wins. So, no matter is Godzilla is Multiversal. Kong is just above him.

And it's gorgeous there. I saw drone footage

Godzilla: No. *Never.*

No, it's "Save Mothra!"

@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!

Yeah, I didn't know that Kong fighting giant octopus in Skull island was actually reference to King Kong vs Godzilla similar scene.
