	Godzilla
		When it was discovered that Godzilla was popular with children, sequels were toned down in obvious screen violence, and Godzilla was made out to be a good guy instead of an indestructible abomination of the mistakes of Man. Characters such as "son of Godzilla" (a dimunitive chubby replica that blew smoke rings) were introduced.
		Godzilla was originally an allegory for the effects of the atomic bomb, and the unintended consequences that such weapons might have on our world.
		Much of Godzilla's popularity in America can be credited with TV broadcasts of the Toho Studios monster movies during the 1960s and 1970s.

	Godzilla Returns - Godzillapedia
		Godzilla would absorb the power of the nuclear sub, and not only would it seem to have cured the monster of the ANB but it would also mutate it even further, becoming powerful enough to defeat King Ghidorah, the Futuriansâ monster.
		Godzilla went on to attack Japan himself, but was stopped when Emmy, one of the Futurians who had turned on her fellows, resurrected Ghidorah as a cyborg, Mecha-King Ghidorah.
		The Godzilla from Godzilla: Final Wars is the last Godzilla as of 2004; Toho has decided to retire the franchise for a period of 5-10 years to renew interest in the future.

	The Return of Godzilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lifelike animatronic Godzilla prop used in close-up shots is the 20-foot "Cybot Godzilla." It was heavily touted in the publicity department at the time, even though it was not used in the film as extensively as promoted.
		A full-size replica of Godzilla's foot was also built, but all of the scenes in which it is used were removed from the American version (the sole exception being a shot of the foot crushing a row of parked cars during the attack on the nuclear power planet).
		Godzilla, who is supposed to be about 240 feet tall, still looks like a wind-up toy, one that moves like an arthritic toddler with a fondness for walking through teeny-tiny skyscrapers instead of mud puddles.

	Godzilla vs. Destroyer
		After the franchise's rebirth in 1984 with The Return of Godzilla--starting the "Heisei Series"--and enjoying more than two decades of financial success, Toho Studios decided to call it quits in light of both creative writer's block to produce more movies and the pending release of the first (and only) American-made Godzilla flick.
		With the return of the Monster King's adopted son to the film in the form of Godzilla Junior, Ifukube brings back his "Baby Godzilla Theme" from the 1993 kaiju eiga, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
		Perhaps saddest of all, though, is that Godzilla vs. Destoroyah also marks the end of the composer's film career, for he went back into retirement for a second and last time*.

	Godzilla (1984) \| The Stop Button
		There’s a good lead performance from Tanaka Ken as a reporter and the film’s structured around his discovery of a story and the revelation of Godzilla’s return (this Godzilla is a direct sequel to the original Godzilla).
		Once Godzilla shows up, the film--which had established itself as mildly political already, the Prime Minister is a protagonist--loses the good character stuff it was doing.
		Godzilla is a boring film and it needed to be longer and more boring.

	Stomp Tokyo Review - Godzilla vs Biollante (1989)
		Godzilla re-enters our story when Biomajor plants a bomb on Mt. Mihara, basically to flmail Japan with the threat of releasing Godzilla unless Japan hands over the ANEB (though in an example of some of the bizarre dubbing in the English version, one character states that Godzilla is the "hostage" in this situation).
		Because the word "Godzilla" is in the title you know that the bomb goes off and Godzilla is free to stomp the heck out of the portions of Japan he missed the last time around.
		Godzilla vs Biollante is most important as the first engaging movie since the franchise was resurrected in 1984.

		The cycle reaches its nadir with the juvenile Son of Godzilla (1967), the adolescent fantasy Godzilla's Revenge (1969), and the tired Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972) and Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973).
		Godzilla's Japanese name, "Gojira," is the combination of the words for gorilla ("gorira") and whale ("kujira"), purportedly the nickname of a portly Toho publicist.
		Godzilla vs. Mothra was inexplicably released in the US as Godzilla vs. the Thing and though the title has been changed back, she's still continually referred to as "The Thing" in the dubbing.

		Fearing a public panic over the re-emergence of Godzilla, whom the people of Japan believed dead after his 1954 attack, the Japanese Government decide to keep it under wraps for the time being, in case he doesn't descend upon Japan.
		As well as featuring the most fearsome looking Godzilla costume to that point, with a more dinosaurian face, and darker, more ridged skin, Toho's effects team created the 'Cybot', a ten foot tall robotic godzilla, used for close ups of the head, which could be remote controlled.
		Godzilla's attacks on Japan and his battles with the military, including fighters, maser tanks and the Super-X are all well shot, and exciting.

		The movies are mostly the return of Godzilla from the first movie, explaining that he was not destroyed, but hibernated beneath the ocean.
		Godzilla was mutated by a Nuclear submarine accident in the 1970's at the new island, causing a meaner, more destructive version.
		The script called for Godzilla to be a "protosaurus", a kind of nuclear-powered dinosaur awakened by an accidental nuclear missile launch by an orbiting satellite into the sea.

		Yet, the new guide to the making of The Return of Godzilla is painfully long.
		Members of the Forum have reported pretty good video quality, but also the anomaly (at least on the Godzilla vs. Biollante DVD) of having both Chinese and English subtitles selected together, meaning they both appear on the screen and, reportedly, intrude on each other occassionally.

		Godzilla does appear different from his usual look, but that by no means takes away from his giant lizard charm.
		This is an adaption of the Japanese version of "The Return of Godzilla" (the international title of the film), so it (thankfully) excludes all of the American-filmed scenes from "Godzilla 1985", the US version of the film.
		Godzilla himself is lovingly drawn, as are the battle scenes between the Big G and the JSDF's ultimate weapon - the Super-X. The story is sometimes jarred by the "cartoony" appearance of some of the human characters, but overall this is a book any kaiju fan will want to read again and again.

		As you may or may not have noticed, Godzilla is rapidly becoming the monster of the 90s again, after a long period of absence when the only time you could see him was in Japan.
		After stomping Tokyo for the first time in the classic "Godzilla: King Of The Monsters" (1954), he soon became one of the most recognisable creatures ever.
		From the early Sixties onwards, Godzilla engaged in a series of Versus movies, pitting his might against a series of Japanese animator nightmre bad guys, from the three-headed King Ghidorah to Mecha-Godzilla, Hedorah the Smog Monster and Titanosaurus, a re-discovered prehistoric lizard thing.
