Member Tosh Posted February 17, 2013 Member Share Posted February 17, 2013 Picked this up for cheap the other week at Barnes and Noble. I saw this back in the 90's but I have to admit I didn't remember much of it(must of been a drunken rental). It starts out really good with one of the better human plotlines for a gfilm, sadly the human element over-bloats itself about halfway through, the Japanese Self Defense Force - JSDF could of been cut out entirely and been better for it. Biollante on the other hand is one of most creative opponents to face G since the Smog Monster, just outstanding design, I definitely rate this as one of the best "newer" gfilms:nerd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although flawed, the western actors are the usual bad quality. Biollante is a great Kaiju, especially in it's final incarnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted February 18, 2013 Member Share Posted February 18, 2013 Can't sit through Godzilla films because of the hokey plots. I just ff to the pre-fight and the end fight. There should be a "best of" dvd of his end fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did I fail to see the irony of my former statement? And you called me on it, too! Too funny. Boy, let's see, I've sat through: Godzilla vs Megalon; Son of Godzilla; Godzilla vs Mothra; Godzilla vs King Kong; Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla; and Destroy All Monsters. There's probably others like Rodan, too. My point, I guess, is that I just can't watch those old Godzilla movies from beginning to end anymore. I just ff to the fights. I do that with some of the old school/modern fu films, too. That's why I wish there was a dvd compilation of just the monster fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on man that's a lot of the fun of them:tongue: I throw a Godzilla movie in for light entertainment(with the exception of the original), If I'm in a serious mood and want to pay full attention I go for classic Samurai. That would be cool though, compile all the fights together, like what they do with all the singing/dance scenes from the Bollywood movies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's freakin' cool. Though, if I had that much dough to throw around on movie related stuff, I'd get one or both of the full size werewolf props from AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and THE HOWLING that you can find from time to time on eBay.

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted March 6, 2013 Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2013 Great taste there Bob, AWIL is one of my fav films ever! That's the film that inspired me to go from just drawing and other 2D art, and into sculpting and special makeup effects. Rick Baker is one of my heroes in the art field!

I'm not a fan of the Heisei Godzilla movies (except for Godzilla vs Destoroyah which I consider one of the greatest Godzilla movies ever) but this looks just awesome.
