Even as a child I noticed the irony in that scene. And it wasn't even IN the original JP version.Rodan wrote:F*ck.

Then again, skirting just inches away from the edge of greatness is a long-running theme in Godzilla movies and vintage Toho sci-fi in general. It's almost like the world's most frustrating tradition at this point.

Re: Your 6 favorite Godzilla flicks
Also an odd thread to revive after 8 years inactive. Is a top 6 thread adding anything that similar threads do not? I'm thinking it does not.
