I loved Kumonga and Kamakiras. They really added to the movie
I couldn't agree more. The wire works effects were marvelous in SOG. I read somewhere that as many as three wires per Kamakiras had to be operated in order to bring these props to life.
I also thought Kumonga was the unofficial "star" of Son Of Godzilla. I liked the audio effects of the gigantic spider and also the effects used when Kumonga fired off its silk at the giant mantids, Minya and Godzilla.

Kumonga was a masterpiece. Period. And notice that in the trailer, there is a deleted scene from both JP and US version of the film... Godzilla going from beach to forest...

minilla always looked stupid in his first stage. i guess it was not that bad of a film. plus godzilla looked like a early versin of the heisei godzilla. lol. the last scene is touching, but not a real good goji flick, not really.

I remember seeing one of the end of the movie and the water is all icy Godzilla is all covered in snow. it was on the japanese trailer, I think
Are there different endings for Son Of Godzilla(1967)?
The ending on my DVD copy I have(the Sony release) has Godzilla and son in an embrace, Godzilla appearing to be trying to comfort Minya while snow, generated from the machine on Solgel Island, covers them and their island surroundings. The group of scientists and the island girl are off the island's coast and in a raft of some kind, watching the two monsters.

Let me make this co friggin clear that even a one year old will get this
A comment like this can alienate, even offend another member of this message board, Evan. As hard as I've worked to make this board "member friendly" you can be certain that this remark does not go over well with me, young man.

Well, sorry if I offended. It is just surprising how something this simple can lead to talk of diffrent endings to a film, which Son of Godzilla doesn't have.

Not just like Minilla, but think he is cute. It is the first instance I have seen anyway...
I agree with you, I don't think I have heard one Gfan say he's cute, even my sister thinks he's hidious. Now the Baby Godzilla from Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla 2, he was cute.

I love Minilla. He is just SO cute, i just want to give him a big hug.
I'm fine with Minya since he has delivered a few comedy scenes which I enjoyed (The scene when he has a temper tantrum. ) but his design makes me want to not hug him, IMO the design needed more work to look like Godzilla.

Is it realistic, Matthew to expect Minilla to closely resemble Godzilla when he's only a "baby"?
Well since their Kaiju, realism is thrown out the window.
Still, I would have liked it if Minya did look more like a younger version of Godzilla, maybe changing the color of his skin to charcoal grey would have been a good idea.
