| VHS Tape Description For Godzilla's 20th anniversary, Japanese film company Toho reinvented the series once again. Mixing science fiction (with a rather obvious nod to the Planet of the Apes series), mythological fantasy, and secret-agent intrigue, this 1974 entry begins with the startling image of Godzilla doing battle with himself! Actually it's a towering robot juggernaut unleashed by black-blooded ape-men invaders from outer space. Disguised as the King of the Monsters, Mechagodzilla sets off on a rampage until the real Godzilla shows up; however, unable to handle the mechanized menace alone, Godzilla teams up with a new character, a mythological lion-god named Caesar. This "bionic-zilla" is almost as impressive as the Big G himself, a titanium-clad robot equipped with ray beams, flame throwers, and dozens of missiles. Godzilla sports a peacocklike display of silver dorsal fins and a mean new suit with a fierce head. Bad alien makeup and Godzilla's decidedly "friend of mankind" attitude, all mixed with the James Bond-inspired spy subplot, lends a cheery camp flair to the science fiction adventure. This one's followed by the direct sequel, Terror of Mechagodzilla. --Sean Axmaker |

Its weird I really couldn't care less about special effects most of the time, but it still seems odd that this was made six years after 'Destroy all monsters' and was made by the same company and the special effects seem to be worse (explosions, which are in most cases probably real, although small, explosions, are, obviously, not really any different from DAM)... was this made when Toho had budget problems? Ah well, special effects don't mean anything, so who the Hell cares? The fight scenes weren't quite as good as 'Destroy All Monsters', although they were more voilent.
One thing I don't get ia that Mecha G is consided to be one of the possible best G-villains (the other being King Ghidorah)... well, I should say this now, so that people watching the movie won't be disappointed: In no way is Mecha G even close to the greatness that is King Ghidorah (this being the only reason the movie is 4 stars instead of 5)
not bad this is one of the best Godzilla films. King Seesar was cute!
I was glad when they(King Seesar and Godzilla) tore off Mechagodzilla's head, especially after what it did to poor Anguris...
if you haven't seen this movie yet, then #1, i am sorry to have spoiled somethings that happen in this movie, and #2, stop reading this review and go and buy it!
The Greatest Film Ever Made. One day in the 1970's, someone realized that the only way to make Godzilla movies cooler was by adding a robot. Now, they could have added any robot. A robot Ghidora, a robot Rodan, or what have you, but someone came up with the miraculously awesome idea of making a robot Godzilla. And add that to plot that already sounds like something the James Bond guys would come up with if you got them high watching Planet of the Apes, and you obviously have the greatest film ever made.
Trust me, every minute more you see of this movie is one more minute of the greatest hour and a half of your life. And as if you need more incentive than robot Godzilla, keep in mind that there's also a MechaGodzilla's bad ass theme song, a jazz-singing priestess, and a scientist battling apemen with a pipe he carved out of SPACE TITANIUM.
So long story short, if you still don't want to see this movie, thanks for taking the time out of your busy Hitler-raping schedule to read this, Satan. |
