 One of my favorite black-and-whites.

I hope the new 2014 Godzilla is more respectful to this film. The 1998 Godzilla was bad, laughable even.

 I've added a pair of model firetrucks that act as crash doubles for the two Nissan Type 180 fire engines shown responding to the fires started by Godzilla. I know including toy vehicles inside a film is a grey area on this site, but as they are intended to be viewed as real vehicles and not actual toy cars, they should be included.

andrepa wrote The argument for inclusion is the filmmaker's intention that we should think of it as a real vehicle.
It doesn't matter whether it's a good model, we don't rate the quality of VW or Ford, either.


Yesterday marked the 69th anniversary of this film hitting Japanese theaters and I watched it yesterday. I did grow up with the Americanization starring Raymond Burr, but the original is a far better film (surprise, surprise); since everything is in chronological order and every line of dialogue is translated into English via subtitles (as well as every instance of plot-relevant Japanese text) instead of approximate second-hand translation, I'm able to understand what people are saying which makes it far more of an effective anti-war movie; one woman mentioning the Nagasaki bombing after Godzilla first walks ashore Serizawa's anxiety and regret at having discovered the Oxygen Destroyer and it's potential use as a weapon does bring to mind Oppenheimer regretting his contributions to the atomic bomb, plus the dialogue of the woman we see near a building with her two kids is translated, making it one of the most harrowing moments of the entire series. She's also shown dead in the hospital after Godzilla's big rampage, whereas in the American version, her dialogue isn't translated at all and she's shown dead in the hospital at the very start so by the time we see her during the rampage, it's been so long that it's not apparent they're the same person. I also did like the news reporters on the TV tower towards the end, reporting on everything right up until Godzilla knocks it down, seeming to emulate newsreel footage. The film also treats Godzilla's rampage and the destruction of Tokyo as an actual real-life disaster and not JUST as a giant monster on the loose.

Sorry for the lengthy comment, but this is a very important and well-made film which I think is one of the best ever made, hence my username.

 if you have the urge to list toys why not put them in comments and be done with it ??


in later films Godzilla destroys dozens of cities and toy models or say those dozen of super sentai shows they do the same thing

 The model/toy cars in those examples are usually just static props that don't move at all aside from when significant damage is done to their surroundings. These trucks are actually shown in motion and are intended to be seen as being driven and operated by actual people, and on both occasions, actual firemen in a real truck are shown reacting before the next shot immediately shows either one of the model firetrucks crashing.

Though even one-star background toy cars are listed in some films.

The Beast From 20'000 Fathoms, one the direct inspirations for this film, also has this... thing.
