I stand corrected, akanes_kiryu. That's what I get for not thinking harder about my own argument.

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
Just heard back from one of my boys in Japan, and every source he found suggests that the first character is read as "oo," so it is, indeed, "Oocondor."
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

GINO vs The Giant Condor would be a fair fight and a good movie.

Funny, but so true!Godzillian wrote:He was really random. He comes out of no where with no set up or hint that he lives on the island before. I think they just threw him in for some more Godzilla action. Did he ever get a name?
I think they missed out on a great opportunity. They could of introduced the condor earlier - chasing the human characters.

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
That's a good idea. Perhaps have it fly over as our characters leave the cover of the jungle, and then run back to hide among the foliage.

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
Agreed. At least we would have some prior knowledge of the bird and its motives before it shows up out of the blue to fight goji.

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
I really loved this monster as a kid. Not entirely sure why I just loved him, for a weak monster he did at least manage to peck and claw the shit out of the Big G for a little while before it was killed. I don't mind seeing him return even if he's cannon fodder. Maybe like a flock of them lives on Monster Island or something.

There is Gappa, thoguh more of a combination of bird and reptile.edgaguirus wrote:The Condor does qualify as his only bird opponent, though. Godzilla has faced insects, reptiles, and mammals, but bird kaiju, in Godzilla or elsewhere, are few and far between. Besides the Condor and Litra, I can't think of any others.
I can't really get a good look at it, I wonder if it has a comb or not, wich would mean it is male or female respectively. They toy doesn't seem to have one, so I guess female

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
Never thought too much about this thing. It shows up, makes a BIG mistake effing with Godzilla, Big G singes it like an overdone Thanksgiving Turkey, & it flies away. Probably died later.

Yeah, Condor bit the dust. No way that bird is surviving an atomic breath blast and a swim in the ocean.

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
Even if it survived being fried, the whole island went ka-boom soon afterwards. It sucks to be the Giant Condor.

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
I would have died laughing if after they used the Giant Condor stock footage in All Monsters Attack, they got out that overgrown turkey marionette to shoot a new scene with the bird flying out of the water and swooping up Minya

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
Not that strange. The squawk sounds like it should come from a bird. Besides, why waste a creative sound for it when it's film career is going to crash and burn.

Re: Monster Discussion #19: Giant Condor
If they kept King Kong in the film it would've made this scene even weirder
