Looking at Robert Dunham, mutton chop sideburns and hairy back notwithstanding, and in that Seatopian garb, certainly made me cringe. cross eyed |

Godzilla looked plain cute in this movie. If he were about a foot tall (and de-radiated) he'd be a cute pet. B)

The same thing can be said for Godzilla in GvMG and ToMG as Godzilla have the same cute look though the suit was just better designed. |

Anyone ever wonder, looking at the image posted by Dan, why the matte painting(in the background) shows clouds below the horizon?

It seem in the 70's Toho wanted to follow in the success of Ultraman which might be why Godzilla became even more of a heroic model then he was for the duration of the 60's and that absolutely explains Jet Jaguar and Zone Fighter....I don't know why Toho needed 2 Ultraman rips though. |

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4...eApSGrQLq75W4BA Looking over this trailer I'm of the belief that even simply using more high speed filming for the monster battles would have improved the perception of Godzilla Vs Megalon in the minds of those who have watched it. I hope Mediablasters(or somebody) can get the North American rights to this movie and get it out to R1 DVD in widescreen and English subtitles. |

what do you get if a movie is made in 3 weeks, the goji suit in 1, and less money for the spx. you get a lousy film! godzilla's revenge was bad, but the effects are still good, for goji vs megalon, the effects are so so bad. the lighting is bad too. to me the goji suit sucked. the only good thing was gigan. megalon is cool, but the suit is just, good looking but in bad shape. jet jaguar is dum. |

For the budget that he has given to work with, Toho director Jun Fukuda produced, IMO a surprisingly entertaining film in Godzilla Vs Megalon(1973). That said I personally find this movie among the weakest of all Godzilla movies, but that is not an indictment of Jun Fukuda, who directed the movie. In fairness to this man had he been given more time and money I suspect the film would have been proportionately better. It's easy to bash these films, especially this one, given it's wide release worldwide to discount DVD, these discs affording those that buy them an often grainy and cropped(full framed) presentation of the film, as well as the other things in the movie that resulted from Fukuda's time and budget constraints: a lack of high speed filming and stock footage. Godzilla Vs Megalon has been among the most widely distributed Godzilla films, on VHS and DVD, the world over. It also has appeared on Mystery Science Theater, lampooned by Tom Servo and his pals. The unfortunate reality here is that for a long time, and for many people, the cheapie DVD or VHS of this film has been the only Godzilla film ever viewed by the casual fan or person curious about Godzilla movies. Obviously the recent Region 1 DVDs of Godzilla movies by Classic Media have made more options available to those interesting in buying Godzilla DVDs. Godzilla Vs Megallon(1973) has never been released to Region 1 DVD uncut and in it's original aspect ratio of 2:35.1 letterbox(widescreen). Like other G films that have been blasted repeatedly for being sub par, I again would submit that the overall disdain for this film might be considerably less if the movie were watched uncut, in it's original language and in it's original aspect ratio. |
