the fact that in the first 11 Godzilla movies had the same actor for Godzilla and going thru all of that is insane

I have the old VHS of Godzilla vs. Megalon and their is 1 scene where his head catches fire when megalon starts dumping bombs on jet jaguar and Godzilla.

The suit actors really sweat blood for some of these movies, absolute legends

Considering that Satsuma himself stated that the BioGoji suit (the 1989 suit) was the comfiest out of all the heisei suits, I doubt the shock rumors were true. Also these incidents Ima list aren’t Godzilla related but are Toho-Kaiju related: During the filming of Varan (1958), there’s a scene where Varan hits a truck that explodes on him. However, Haruo Nakjima, who was inside the suit, suffered burns around his stomach and groin and had never healed (fun fact: that was the only known injury Nakajima suffered while filming). During the filming of Rodan (1956), the scene where Rodan crashes below the bridge and into the water was actually a blooper. The story was that during filming, the wire supporting the Rodan suit (with Nakajima inside) snapped, causing it to dive headfirst into the water. However, Nakajima came out fine despite the crash.

There was an incident with the Millennium Godzilla suit actor when filming a scene where Godzilla rises out of the water, because of how heavy the suit was, he had to be lowered into the water with a crane, but when he was being pushed in the water, his breathing tuber came off and had to be raised back up.

There's another close call from the Millennial Era. During a water scene, in one of the films, a movie crane was used to push the buoyant suit under the water. The suit actor had a breathing tube, but it became dislodged while he was being submerged. It took awhile to realize what was happening, but they did figure it out and brought him up and he was ok! Apparently, they quit doing water scenes, after that. Source: Excellent documentary "Bringing Godzilla Down To Size" that was included in the beautiful "War of the Gargantuas/Rodan" DVD release. Buy it if you can find it!

Wow this was beyond great. Love behind the scenes toho stuff (the actual footage was incredible and you're right the less accidents the better.) Would love to see similar treatment for the ultraman series. Thanks for posting.

All these suit actors deserve awards for toughing it out through their filming they brought so much joy to people all over the world it’s upsetting to see them go through so much stress

the 10 year olds going crazy about the "'the man in the suit"'

Little accident myth: a great myth in the Godzilla community is that in Godzilla Vs Hedorah, filming the fight scene the suit actor had a heart attack (not 100% on heart attack could have been something else) and had to be operated on, in the Hedorah suit. This is true, kinda. He actually had the appendix accident ,mentioned in the video, while promoting the movie. He was, however operated on while wearing the lover half of the Hedorah suit. This is actually mixed up with Godzilla vs Destroyah, with when he collapsed during a fight scene because of the head moving thing also mentioned. so uh, there’s that.

I’m glad they made the sets safer; lessons were learned.

Very simply, straight to the point, and very positive.

I really like how you got straight to the point, since some other video creators take a long time to get into the actual content.

Holy shit, the amount of The Man in The Suit references is crazy, some people think it was real too..

Bro this KZfaqr deserves more subs, views etc, a lot of Godzilla videos like this get tons more views and this is about the exact same quality. Needs more attention.

Underrated channel,never seen a video about this subject.

If I remember in the Rebirth of Mothra series, apparently there was a bts footage of Rainbow Mothra on fire because of the excel strings. It wasn’t a suit accident but to be fair that’s even better because no one actually got hurt.

this is a nice video great job

Mechagodzilla's weakness behind the scene is funny on how the actor accidentally popped off the mecha godzilla suit

For those who comment "why does he sound like that" or "why cant he say this properly", or anything similar- Some people just have speech impediments and they're not always fixable. Just respect this dude and enjoy his work, leave what he can't control alone.

great video!

Being a godzilla actor is literally one of the most dangerous jobs in the world

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="182">3:02</a> bro going to atomic breath

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="40">0:40</a> the first thing was to slap him 💀💀

These are some great ideas for the man in the suit

I’m so glad that they made it out alive and we can now instead laugh at the image of Godzilla underwater with his feet sticking up

accident:😭😭😭 Incident:☠️💀☠️

Man, with all these Godzilla suit accidents I hope the guy in the legendary Godzilla suit will be ok

"ErM WhAT aBouT MAn iN ThE sUIt" 🤓

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a> feels weird to record this man drowning and coughing up water while everyone watches.

Why are there so many people saying: "What about the Man in the Suit?" 💀

May you send me a link to the electron , King Kong-and destroyer clips

In my opinion the Fall into the temple may have been a accident. Cause if the temple was destrucable he would have fell through it. I've other movies where the destructable buildings are rather easy to destroy.

The entirety of the zilla movie 1998 Ironically enough my favorite movie

This dude is so sweet.

@Gojira 1962 correct me if I’m wrong but I think there was a accident when they were filming the scene where Godzilla and battra fall through the sea floor and into the outer core apparently when they were filming the fight the hydraulic ram for the lift broke off it’s mount from the weight of the suits causing the lift to drop suddenly and slam into the ground injuring Satsuma himself and the actor who played the battra larva

where did you get the footage?

Every one gangsta until he starts breathing oddly

Sure hope the actor doesn't fuse with the suit

If I had a godzilla suit I would wear it out in public

Gives me man in suit vibes

RIP Kenpachiro Satsuma the legend😢

He admired the suit motion but damn it was quite risky if the right person was not chosen

I'd like to imagine the man in the suit bumping his head on a rock while fighting with king kong

This proves that man in the suit is an urban legend.

We need more

during godzilla vs destoroyah, there is a scene with destoroyah where he rams into a pole while flying. i dont know if there is an actor inside of the suits which there probably isnt but it exists

Wait one second why on <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="217">3:37</a> in the video the suit actor name is blurred out of the video?

After I watched this it keeps showing me the man in the suit

Footage for the incidents?🤔

In Godzilla against mechagodzilla Godzilla was on fire

Damn Katsumi Tezuka really had some bad luck! Sad that no one talks about him....

Godzilla: my biggest enemy is water My cat: Water is my nemisis too

the actual godzilla suit incident

i was half expecting you to cover analog horror.

Thank golly the suit actors lived to tell the tale.

Ngl if they Added Godzilla Slipping on Nagoya Castle, it would have been Kinda funny.

can you make more videos pleaseeeeee

I really want to make my own mv Godzilla suit and make the jaw move

Did you know that in King Kong Vs Godzilla 1962) The actor for King Kong threw the suit actor for Godzilla (Harou Nakajima) into the water WHILE he was still in his suit. And wanted to prove to Harou that he was better and stronger than him. This could’ve lead to Harou drowning, but luckily. He didn’t.

Oh so that was the accident in godzilla vs megalon😮

The first Godzilla suit was very heavy and not well-ventilated. There are photos of Godzilla passed out on the sidewalk when the suit actor was exhausted and dehydrated.

Unknowingly: i hate you *springlocks your godzilla*

Poor Soul hope he go to heaven😔

The way the middle guy was walking😂 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a>

Weird. The entire movie of Godzilla 1998 was not here…

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="308">5:08</a> ngl this looks sped up

iirc theres a documentary (bringing godzilla down to size i believe?) where suit actor tsutomu kitagawa mentioned that one time they were lowering him into the water w a crane but the breathing tube came off and he nearly drowned. not sure what movie specifically tho

The bite of ‘54

All of these could end up as the man in the suit

I saw a BTS video of what I believe was ‘Godzilla & Mothra: The Battle For Earth’, courtesy of Big Action Bill, where a giant building prop fell right onto Godzilla with the actor in the suit

Wow that is scary

Bro kutmi tezuka got bit by the man in the suit lmao

I love the video but have to ask, please slow down a bit with the talking.. It was hard to follow everything you were saying.

Really glad Godzilla is made in CGI now a days so that stuff doesn't happen

Why does it sound like you're saying ewa (instead of era) and wumors (instear of rumor)

THE THUMBNAIL THO 💀💀💀💀

NAHH BRO SURVIVED HEAD SLAMMING TO A ROCK

man in the suit and suitmation trials

You forgot about the seen in Godzilla vs destroyah when destroyah is flying fast and he crashes into a pole

Unkowingly: perfect i will make the accident more dark 😈😈😈😈

Bro a ninja

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="36">0:36</a> thought he would become MAN IN THE SUIT

OK IN THE SHOWA ERA THE FIRT PART WHEN THE GUY GOT SHOCKD IN WATER LOOKS LIKE ITS HEISEI GODZILLA

Gojira goooooood boi

Was there any accidents that happened in the new empire

Actually I saw Godzilla get caught on fire in Godzilla vs megalon at the beginning part where Godzilla is trying to pull jet Jaguar out of the ground and megalon first shooting his fire balls if you look close you can see the top of Godzilla's head catches fire.

So That’s why no one will wear suit in movie film now

How about the time one Godzilla got buried?

I told my cousin that Godzilla suit incident didn’t happen

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="256">4:16</a> "Ewa"

Whats the thumbnail

I never knew

this is what they found.

Wow, these must’ve been scary 😨

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="217">3:37</a> suit actor who?

-godzilla dont have incedents! -....☠

what’s the song in your outro

Did he get paid tho?

wait cant forget the time someone merged into the godzilla su- (man in the suit reference)
