Man, I can't believe I missed this direct-to-dvd movie when it came out.

Godzilla fights American Godzilla

Man, that was EPIC. No, wait, the other thing. Hilariously short. [Big Grin]

Has anyone watched this movie, and is it worth buying?

Seems pretty stupid. Although I do think it shows how a lot of Japan feels about America. (If you want more evidence, just look at how the X-box compares to Nintendo and Sony in Japan and compare it to Europe.)

I'm not much of a console gamer, so I wouldn't know, but it would seem to me that there would be a larger variety of games available to Japanese players on Nintendo/Sony consoles, moreso than the X-Box, hence the console sales disparity. We get lots of Japanese games stateside, but how many english games on the X-Box gets ported to Japan? I dunno. >_>

Also: Japanese Godzilla totally pwns American Godzilla. That fight was realistic. [Mad]

I'd like to think that's how most people would feel about the two godzillas.

My friend has the movie. He really likes it but recommends renting it before buying it. You have to be a really big Godzilla fan to like it enough to buy.

Someone must -really- hate opera houses.

I had to replace our first copy this week- the boys were non too gentle with it the many times they've watched it. It's actually my favorite Godzilla flick, and we have most of them.

The American Godzilla would totally kick the Japanese Godzilla's butt. American Godzilla's actually agile. Japanese Godzilla really really isn't.

But then Japanese Godzilla's way more intelligent I guess, if you look at the Godzilla EU. And the American Godzilla's really more of a beast. So hmm... maybe that video is pretty accurate... though I still kinda think that the Japanese Godzilla would be too slow to land a hit on the American Godzilla even with his increased intelligence.

No way. American Godzilla is so undeserving of the moniker Godzilla it was later shortened to Zilla. He a poseur.

Now the important question is, how would Zilla do against Cloverfield?

Zilla would get destroyed. The real Godzilla might be more interesting, though.

Agreed.

That's a battle I really want to see. Cloverfield may not have energy beams coming out of its mouth (Or does it?! ) but it seems pretty darn resiliant.
