The destruction of the Chrysler Building and Madison Square Garden in 1998, IMO, are the best (and realistic looking) destruction in the franchise.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
Rodan, Mothra and Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster have the most intricate, intense destruction sequences I can think of off the top of my head.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
Titanosaurus and Mechagodzilla II’s rampage in TOMG made my jaw drop when I first saw it.
Godzilla’s rampage in 84 is menacing as hell.
I’ve always been partial to FW’s destruction scenes, individually they’re not much except Rodan in New York, but when they’re all put together it sells global chaos and decimation amazingly.
Shin Godzilla’s atomic breath scene. Seeing the city become a molten hellhole in a few moments is insane, and makes Shin live up to the “god” interpretation of the title perfectly.
Hong Kong in GvK. This war of Titans turning the city into a wasteland is a sight to behold as Godzilla rips apart dozens of buildings with his ray just to get at Kong, so is Mechagodzilla emerging from the mountain and making the devastation even worse.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
The second attack in G54 has some great visuals with the fire. It also shows Godzilla as a savage animal when he bites Tokyo Tower and tears down the clock.
Rodan and Mothra are both good examples of wind destruction. Rodan raises clouds of dust and blows roofs and objects around with ease. Imago Mothra does the same, but on a scale that feels larger.
The best ones, though, are the rampage in G vs Gigan. You have Gigan gleefully smashing and sawing through everything in his path while Ghidorah rains down gravity beams. Shin also has an impressive destruction scene. Godzilla stands in one spot, but reduces half the city into ruins.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
Crap, forgot about the Gamera trilogy! Between those three movies, you have the greatest amount of quality destruction sequences in the entire genre IMO.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
Godzilla 2014’s destruction scenes are all gorgeously Gothic, almost like murals. You can really feel the destruction and chaos as buildings collapse, and the EMP means that you have very little direct lighting.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
I thought Mechagodzilla 2 and Titanosaurus destroyed Tokyo in Terror of Mechagodzilla.Kaiser wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:13 am I've always been a huge fan of Godzilla's attack on Osaka in Godzilla vs. Biollante. The lighting in particular is outstanding for that scene. Godzilla's attack on Nagoya in Mothra vs. Godzilla also really sticks out in my mind as even though the destruction is light, both the scenes with the TV tower and Nagoya Castle are memorable and more of less iconic as far as Godzilla scenes go. Brief shout outs to Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus attacking Yokosuka in Terror of Mechagodzilla and Godzilla's rampage through Shizuoka in GMK.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
I saw this thread and thought it was a new thread by Rodan who had finally come back again
Unfortunate
Hmm I haven't actually settled on my favorite destruction sequence, a rewatch is in order!

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
I guess it's closer to Yokohama? I thought it was Tokyo too but that's probably because in the dub I believe Mugal said "destroy Tokyo!" I wouldn't be surprised if the people behind the American release figured the audience would just assume Tokyo because giant monsters were smashing it.

Re: Best Destruction Sequences
Yeah, I guess so. Still, it is an excellent scene, even though Titanosaurus didn't create whirlwinds with his tail as the Japanese poster showed him doing and the article in Fangoria #1 said he could do (and by whirlwinds, I mean tornadoes).Major sssspielberg! wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 5:24 pmI guess it's closer to Yokohama?
