Awesome Godzilla

American Godzilla vs. Japanese Godzilla

American Godzilla vs. Japanese Godzilla

Accented Cinema neatly sums up the fundamental difference between Godzilla films: “American Godzilla is about Godzilla; Japanese Godzilla is about Life.” Giant monsters beating the crap out of each other can indeed make for a fun movie. But Japan’s Godzilla films show that the kaiju’s ultimate power is helping people reflect on real-world catastrophes.

Wienerzilla

Wienerzilla

What starts as an ordinary day in the city quickly descends into pandemonium when a gigantic wiener dog appears and starts crushing, crumbling, and chomping his way through the streets. Does the big dog with the stubby legs mean harm, or does he just want some snacks? Crusoe the Dachshund stars in this silly send-up of monster B-movies.

Godzilla Playing Cards

Godzilla Playing Cards
Buy

These unofficial but still awesome playing cards feature vintage images from classic Kaiju and creature features like Destroy All Monsters, Mothra, and Godzilla vs. The Thing. Since Godzilla really is Head Monster in Charge, we think every card he appears on should be a King.

One-Man Godzilla Movie

One-Man Godzilla Movie

Godzilla vs. Kong is a big hit. But if you prefer your monster movies without so much CGI, check out Godzilla vs. Mito Komon, a fan film made by Shinya Takeshita back in 1991. What makes it so perfect is how the filmmaker played every one of the roles and made all of the sound effects and music with his mouth.

Godzilla vs. Kong vs. Wayne

Godzilla vs. Kong vs. Wayne

JKK Films was watching the trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong and thought there just wasn’t enough action. To amp things up, he added a third monster to the battles, his cat Wayne. Given the destructive tendency of kitties, Wayne appears to be the perfect casting decision.

Godzilla vs. Kong (Trailer)

Godzilla vs. Kong (Trailer)

“Godzilla’s out there, and he’s hurting people, and we don’t know why.” It’s pretty obvious from the title, but this blockbuster is about a battle between two giant monsters. As an enraged Godzilla rises from the ocean, the giant ape Kong senses a threat and all hell breaks loose. Coming to theaters and HBO Max on 3.26.21.
