By Dan Day, Jr. on Dec 2, 2023 From The Hitless Wonder Movie BlogGODZILLA: MINUS ONE isn't just a great Godzilla film, it's a great film, period. Writer-Director Takashi Yamazaki's kaiju tale strikes the right balance between FX spectacle and human drama, and it's far more memorable than any brand-name franchise movie made in the last five years. It must be point... Read full article
A Godzilla Stumper
By The Metzinger Sisters on Oct 7, 2023 From Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film LoversAll those Godzilla films look alike to me so I would like some help to a puzzle that has been stumping me. A year or two ago, my dad and I caught the beginning of an episode of Svengoolie (the MeTV horror TV program) and there was a Godzilla film on. Or, at least I think it was a Godzilla film. It l...

Quotes from Godzilla:
Kyohei Yamane-hakase: I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species... But if we continue conducting nuclear tests... it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.

Facts about Godzilla:
The movie's opening scene was inspired by the Lucky Dragon incident, where the fishing boat known as the Lucky Dragon strayed too close to what was named the most powerful nuclear test ever and was contaminated with radiation. A crew on board a fishing boat, going about their normal day, suddenly a bright flash of light catches their attention, and they are soon bombarded with radioactivity. The only difference is that the boat catches fire and sinks in the movie. If you look closely at the life preserver, you will see the marking "No. 5". This was a reference to the ship Lucky Dragon No. 5, which was one of the inspirations for the film.
This was Akira Takarada's first starring role after appearing mainly in small supporting roles.
