This is quite possibly the most insane thing I've ever read. Ms. Jet Jaguar sex scenes, hollow earth full of Godzillas, Robochick nuclear fucking bomb?!

Trippy sounding project. It does indeed, with the subterranean local sound like some of the plot points for the flick ,the fleas, and the archaeopteryx were cherry picked and utilized for RODAN. In fact, some of the early concept art featured a Rodan sporting feather as some here may know.

For being such an absurd idea, it makes up for being one of the most original, strange and curious ideas of the long-list of unmade films planned for the Big G.

Seriously, a giant-female-robot that somehow ATTRACTS the King of the Monsters? Woof.

Any film that pairs Godzilla with a giant fembot and an underground monster world wins for creative points. It would certainly be memorable, good or bad.

It's interesting to think about if/how this would have altered future G-films. I know they were all supposed to blow up at the end but hey, I doubt Toho would have passed up the opportunity to make KKvG a few years down the line. So I suspect they would have brought Godzilla back in some way.

Showa Godzilla from Kk vs G would have just been the third Godzilla.

Well, it truly shows that otherwordly-strange-funny ideas for Godzilla existed since then. Maybe in a way, that paved the way for the franchise. In some strange, indirect way. :lol:

Yeah. That is one of the things that came to mind once I read a little about this project. :-x

The Showa era came up with some odd ideas, but it worked. It offered variety.

As for kaiju pairing, that's probably an image we don't need in our minds.

Yeah. One of the many reasons why the Showa era is so loved by people. There's always something for someone, and it is always fun to see the movies.

Fair enough. But the plot of movie did it itself with the Big G being 'drawn towards' the Fembot thingie. If people expand on that idea, then yeah... :P

It does strike me as a little weird that Godzilla would be attracted to a humanoid bot after seeming to hate humans in 54 and GRA. Perhaps Toho would have changed it to something that looked more like Godzilla had this film actually began production.

Or maybe the fact that there are so few giant monsters who are female means Godzilla can't afford to be picky :lol:

I suppose you have a point there.

Well, that is the one flaw that would have been the deal breaker of this not getting made. I mean, the last two movies of him being considered a menace that embodied the very darkness of
war into, huh, THIS. Then again, the ideas got crazier in the series, but this was an early point for Godzilla to venture into that territory, and Toho maybe considered this not be fitting of all things
at the time, hehe.

Well, Godzilla got interested in them in the form of the native girl in EBIRAH, HORROR OF THE DEEP. So, who knows... :lol:

It's the real deal. I found this Japanese blog post about the film from 2010 (http://hirorin.otaden.jp/e104597.html), and the blog poster got his info from a book called "Godzilla: Toho Tokusatsu Unpublished Material Archive: The Era of Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka" (「ゴジラ」東宝特撮未発表資料アーカイヴ プロデューサー・田中友幸とその時代).

The blog post includes a link to the book's page on Amazon Japan, where you can use the "look inside" function to see a preview of some of the book's interior pages. This includes the table of contents. There are chapters about Godzilla vs. Frankenstein, something called "God's Godzilla" in English (and 神々のゴジラ "Godzilla of the Gods" in Japanese), Godzilla Legend: The Asuka Fortress, Mothra vs. Bagan, King Kong vs. Godzilla Sequel, and plenty of others.

The plot for The Bride of Godzilla? begins on page 46 of the book. The next chapter starts on page 82.

I only skimmed the blog post, but it matches up with cultistofvertigo's description: the fact that it was written by the writer of The H-Man, the robot girl, the underground world, Godzilla falling in love with the robot girl, Angilas getting his jaw broken like in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, as well as the possible prototype for Shockirus.


EDIT:
cultistofvertigo's post actually links to another Japanese blog post, which is where he got the info for his own post from. This Japanese blogger also got his information from the "Unpublished Material" book, and even includes a scan taken from the book. (http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/monster_papa/61429786.html)

It still sounds completely batshit stupid and regardless of any "proof" someone might be able to give me, it comes off as ludicrous and utterly unlike anything Toho would have come up with in the 1950's. A robot girl that Godzilla falls in love with? Did someone mention mermaids?

Actually let me go back. Godzilla. Falling in love. To a robot. In a Toho film. In 1956.

I can't...I just can't. The things people believe...

Aka Legion doesn't believe it so Toho must not have been working on it.

Toho was working on what, exactly? A movie about Godzilla falling in love with a robot girl?

The whole thing sounds moronic. Does anyone question ANYTHING around here anymore? Think about how out there this idea is, and then think about the movies Toho was making in the mid '50s. Once again, Godzilla FALLING IN LOVE WITH A ROBOT....

That sounds like sick fan fiction, not something anyone in their right mind at Toho would have possible been thinking of in 1956.
