One of the funniest things regarding Minilla is that he was playable in Godzilla Generations for the Sega Dreamcast, unlocked by beating the game with Zilla. Having him walk through massive buildings, smash the military, and battle the three Super-X warships with his radiation rings was hysterical.

Love your retrospectives, dude, keep them up! :)

Despite the fact that some fans don't like it, on the other hand, I really enjoyed *Son of Godzilla.* When I was a kid, it reminded me of my father's tough-love. To this very day I still have a soft spot for this film.

Dude, I freaking love your content. The research, and passion you put into each upload is astounding. Never stop posting.

That Scene At The End Still Gets To Me After 56 Years. 😓

My dad and I first watched Son of Godzilla on a Saturday afternoon back in the early 80s. He remarked that Minilla looked like Gary Coleman from Diff'rent Strokes. Since then, I can't unsee it!

Beverly Maeda's smile is like the first sunrise after a long, arctic winter. And I've seen more recent pictures and she's still just as beautiful with the same wonderful smile.

Grew up on Godzilla movies, and this one held a special place in my heart. Particularly because my insane crush on Saeko Matsumiya's, "Riko" character made me realize at a young age I had a thing for asian girls. Fast forward to today and I"m happily married with a Filipina woman. Godzilla changed my life.

I rewatched the Son of Godzilla movie tomorrow, It's definitely one of the most entertaining and fun movie of the Godzilla Showa Era series.

''Godzilla looks fucking nauseating in this movie.'' - Phil Leotardo, 1967

With you man, this is probably one of my most rewatched Showa Era Godzilla films. It’s a fun one.

I cry a little every time I watch the end of *Son of Godzilla.* The music and the scene are so touching. The point when Godzilla truly becomes Manilla's father.

Great research bro! They should have definitely designed minya to look more like his dad in previous films instead of what we got. Despite this I think this one is a good entry as well with it's great jungle miniatures and kaiju puppet/marinates. Keep up the great work!

Hello Big Action Bill! Thank You for uploading Your video for the Keiju Eiga movie "Son of Godzilla". In Germany, the movie was titled "Frankensteins Monster jagen Godzillas Sohn", in English "Frankenstein's monsters are hunting Godzilla's son".

Oh man imagine if they bring in Kumonga in the Monsterverse everyone with Arachnophobia will be freaking out lol

Damn, you have made my love for this movie restored, all of the hate I saw got me thinking "ima start moving with the crowd", so thank you for bill

Kumonga wasn't a favorite of mine until I saw this movie and I loved how intimidating he managed to be.

One thing I thought was quite funny was that there were two instances during the final fight where Godzilla hits Kumonga on the top of his body (once with a rock, once with his breath), and during these times Kumonga flips over, in a really unnatural way. Because of that, my brother and I had a running joke that Godzilla was hitting his 'Flip' button

Bill, you deserve a ton of credit, and a TON of subscribers for the content you provide!

I swear, once all these videos are out I'm doing one big marathon.

finally your videos are the best if you ever wondered who it is thats watching them all the time its me

your godzilla videos are absolutely my comfort content as of late, fantastic stuff

You know this really wasn't that bad of a movie. I gets a really bad rep but I like it. My son and I watch it all the time.

My second favorite Godzilla movie behind "Godzilla vs the Sea Monster." I do NOT claim those are the best; just my own favorites. (There's a difference.) This one, for instance, is a movie I can put in my Blu-Ray player anytime, regardless of my mood, and enjoy it thoroughly. The pace is quick, the characters are memorable and likable, the story is just the right mix of science fiction and monster mayhem... And in spite of what is often said, the monster effects are actually very impressive!

i loved that movie as a kid. watched it hundreds of times

As a kid,growing up a Godzilla fan,this was one of my favorites..You whach these movies,cause its just fun to relive a piece of your childhood.Sometimes its just nice,to get away from the reality of life..

love all these Godzilla video's BAB!

I have a personal theory that Minilla is actually a frog-like monster who's species convergentally evolved alongside Godzilla's species. Which explains his more frog-like face and clumsy movement.

Son of Godzilla rips. Colorful, fast paced, some likeable humans, and a nice fully fleshed out arc for Godzilla.

I was just browsing around KZfaq for Godzilla content and came upon your video, and I have to say, you just earned yourself a new subscriber sir. SoG is definitely one of my favorites within the Showa Era due to seeing it as a kid and just having fun. Also, I absolutely agree on the waifu comment cause Saeko was just mesmerizing. 👍

Just discovered this series and I’m blown away! Dropped a sub and can’t wait to watch more!

You said something to the extent of *I can't bring myself to hate a godzilla film* I feel that sentiment with this It's not my favourite but I admire all forms of Godzilla 💜🦖🖤

My crappy day just got a bit better! Thanks for making these.

I always listen to your Godzilla movie videos while making stop motion 😁

I've only just watched the movie and, as a father myself, I can't help but enjoy it.

This was the first Godzilla movie I saw as a kid in the 90s so I've always had a soft spot for it and Manilla is cute

Loving these Godzilla reviews. Makes me want to go and pick up some books and read up all the history of behind the scenes of these movies.

Great video about a great movie 👍. I saw it in cinema in the early 80s. Greetings from Germany.

Thank you for the wonderful content. I've been enjoying them all. 7:29 I was cleaning my room and suddenly heard this😂wtf hilarious and then suddenly there's talks about balls sweat which I never knew😂😂😂

I know exactly what your saying when there's weather involved when there fighting. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve had no interest in ever checking out the “Godzilla is our friend!” part of the Showa era but these entries have made me damn curious thanks for the excellent work

Love these ones! Great job man!

Man you make my day with these videos! thank you good sir! 100%

I"m so happy! This movie is heartwarming but I am completely ready for my favourite, the king of all kaiju movies, Destroy all Monsters!! Anyways, great video and originally I didn't like the wait between videos, but if a short wait makes great videos, then I forgive it. Also as you good sir, I suffer from aracnophobia and the final fight is very satisfying. The soundtrack is very good and I would give this movie an B+.

Son of Godzilla is one of the best Showa movies. Underappreciated as hell.

Just getting more into Godzilla and just found your channel, YOU. ARE. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Please make a Gamera Hesei era video!

After binging your reviews I started binging godzilla movies that i hadn't seen yet😅✌

The thought of Ishiro Honda feeling a disturbance in the force as this was being filmed is so funny to me. Great video! :)

omg I just asked about this movie! Thank you! I have great memories of watching this movie with my dad. Your channel is awesome

Your Godzilla series is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!

Keep it up with these videos! Love them all!

I really love hearing the process and info of all these movies. Knowing more about them makes me feel more closer to what was.

Showa era is best era.

I agree that this is one of the best. I like it a lot too

A favorite of mine of the Showa era. It's not the best but enjoyable. And that ending was touching. Great job Bill as always.

I watch these old shows on Australian TV late at night.Bibari Maeda was a stunning actress.

My favorite showa movie

Oh hell yeah this was one of the first Godzilla I remember seeing. It'll always have a special place in my memory. Also lol @ "for you" that'll never be not funny

These are the definitive Godzilla movie videos.

I love this movie. Minya is still my fave Godzilla character. Thank you so much for a great review!

Hell yeah, I know what I'm watching later tonight! Can't wait to watch

I really liked watching this movie with my dad. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best. But it was perfect for spending time with dad

Fairly new to Godzilla, but when I watched Son of Godzilla for the first time I loved it, I thought it was hilarious😊

Seeing this video drop made my day!!

Wow, I loved this movie. The crew slowly warming up to Maki was great, Saeko was a charming character, the relationship between Godzilla and his son was genuinely heartwarming, all the monsters outside of Godzilla and Minilla looked great, Godzilla’s beatdown of the mantis trio was awesome, the suit actor for Minilla was clearly having a blast and the Father-Son Kamehameha…er, I mean, the Father-Son Atomic Breath was an awesome way to bring things full circle at the end. Combine all that with great pacing that never left me bored and this is one of my favorites of the Showa era as well (so far). Super charming Godzilla movie. EDIT: Oh, and the experiments the team was doing on the island and their goal of solving future overpopulation I thought was interesting as well. Takashima really sold it at the end when all their work finally paid off and he started to get emotional. EDIT #2: Ayyyyy I just finished the video and you made the Father-Son Kamehameha reference too! Great video.

This had one of the best scenes in the showa Era though. When Manilla and Godzilla start walking in the snow, and he falls behind and falls. Godzilla turns around to go back and they hold each other until they go into hibernation.

Son of Godzilla is one of my favorite Kaiju Films. I know It's silly but I still Love It.

I'd give anything to just talk over some food and a cigarette with these 60s 70s era Godzilla staff. They're all gone though.

This was my first Godzilla movie I watched in my life

I'm so hyped for Destroy All Monsters next! My favorite Goji movie!

I came back from Wikizilla’s MV Godzilla profile and this pops up in my feed. Crazy day for me

YES! FINALLY PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO REALIZE THIS MOVIE IS GOOD!

Love all these videos but I wish you would reupload the original short versions you did. They're great and help fill the void until your next masterpiece...... Unless those videos never existed and I'm remembering something that didn't happen. Either way, great work!

FANTASTIC video (and series)! Thank you so much.

I love this series so much, I can't wait for Destroy All Monsters. I'm in pain knowing how long it will probably take to get to 1971's Godzilla Vs Hedorah, I REALLY want to know the thought process behind that one!

Son of Godzilla is one of my favorite showa movies

Thank you, Big Action Bill!

I love Kumonga, nice simple idea that works

I can just listen to your voice all day 😌

very interesting, great video

It's also one of my favs

New to the channel, love your godzilla history content, hope for a future shin Godzilla content (fingers still crossed for a sequel)

Such a great series am new to your channel but so glad I found it. Best goji channel by far

Awesome! Love. Your videos

Godzilla said I must fight for my own battles though.

This was always my favorite Godzilla movie.

I found this movie to be over hated. I love the insect monsters, the story is heartwarming, and the effects are solid.

I happen to like this movie aswell. I have it on vhs. This was my second Godzilla movie my first one was Godzilla vs the Sea Monster another favorite of mine. Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching it.

That was the first Godzilla film I ever saw in my life.

Using Persona 5 music in the background of your Please Stand By frame card A man of culture

WOOOOOOOO, MORE GODZILLA VIDEOSSSSSS FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!! legit love this series, thank you so much

Excellent work

This movie is a damn classic lol. Loved it as a kid.

18:00 At no point in this movie is Godzilla's son identified by name. Also, this movie has the best musical score of any of the Godzilla movies.

Honestly one of my favorite Goji Movies

My Mother’s favorite Godzilla film. Whenever I binge Godzilla films, she ask me to play Son of Godzilla.

If not for the egg-hatching scene, I would have sworn that Godzilla's son was just one of his dumps animated by his radioactive innards..

Hey bud, as a Godzilla fan I can honestly say, The Son Of Godzilla is my favorite Godzilla movie lol. So no worries, but yea people either see it high or low, but I’m on the high rating side for this one, it’s not like it’s Godzilla’s revenge which I don’t hate or anything lol, but you know that one is silly. Thanks for the fun facts btw. Great stuff

The shape of Godzilla’s spines in the movie sorta reminded me of Millennium Godzilla’s spines when I first saw this movie as a kid. They are certainly shaped a lot differently from how they were usually designed at the time. I wonder what made the designers change it up?
