Maybe the "space titanium" was actually supposed to be a scale of Ghidorah, and that was why the girl saw him in her vision, but it was left out because they wanted the focus to be on Mecha Godzilla. This Space titanium could have come from Ghidorah, it would make sense for the aliens to know of it and make use of it.
Wait a minute, King Caesar and Godzilla tag teaming against Mechagodzilla? Were they inspired by this in the final battle on Godzilla vs. Kong? Just replace a weird lion/dog guardian kaiju with a giant gorilla with an axe.
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Nah, it _really wasn't._ The simple fact is, Godzilla and Kong teaming up against a bigger threat was inevitable; it was only a matter of who won the "true villain" roulette wheel, and it landed on Mechie. You can tell that scenes from the movie were inspired by the original King Kong vs. Godzilla - like when Kong blocks Godzilla's ray with the handle of his axe, or when Kong is getting air-lifted by the helicopters. So it's clear the filmmakers were paying homage. So if they _really_ wanted to reference _this_ film, then the Final Battle actually would've had Godzilla contribute _a lot more_ against Mechagodzilla than grabbing one of his arms, and then blast-charging Kong's axe. If anything, we should've gotten a scene where Godzilla restrains Mechagodzilla from behind, while Kong slashes at him with the axe.
For some reason, both "King Kong" and "Frankenstein" became a sort of shorthand for "monster" in German movie titles back then. On a side note, for those who didn't know King Caesar/King Seesar (for a while everyone called him King Seesaw) is derived from "shisa/shiisaa," which are real-life statues of dog-lion guardian spirits found outside Okinawan temples.
+ScreamingScallop It was because of the success of the German release of "Frankenstein Conquers the World" that a lot of kaiju entries had "Frankenstein" in their German title. I guess the German distributors had high hopes that this tactic could boost the movie's release.
I remember first seeing this the day after I first saw Godzilla 1985. I was completely convinced Godzilla had dug his way from the volcano he was trapped in to that warehouse he burst out from. At four years old that is bulletproof logic. Plus the magnet powers never seemed off since this was the first Godzilla movie I watched repeatedly.
I recently ordered Godzilla 1985 on bluray and got disc 7 of the Showa bluray collection in the second disc tray accidentally. Someone somewhere is kicking themselves while I'm enjoying two of my favorite Showa flicks. 🤘😎
"We start with Anguirus looking like he's on his way to the Fortress of Solitude before being blown up by the movie's title!" Don't you jus hate when the film's title blows you up like that? I mean, it must have happened to Kenny...
I'm very nostalgic for this movie, it was one of the first movies I ever saw with blood in it, and it legitimitely enthralled me as a kid. I always thought the one monster was named "King Seesaw" which seemed weird to me as a child.
This is one of those movies that I watched every week as a young kid. Lots of action and it has probably the most entertaining human segments which is a rarity in these types of movies. The whole ape transformation thing was scary but fun when I was young.
Yes, space has chunks of rocks with rare metals in them just floating around. Our Astroid Belt has such rocks but I doubt we can map every single Astroid in the belt. Still the joke was hilarious 😂
The joke should have been why would they call it space titanium instead of just regular titanium. Is it like a new element, that he just named space titanium on the spot?
Actually, we have mapped every large asteroid in the main belt. The only ones we don't know about are either tiny or have highly eccentric orbits. Also the ones from other solar systems that shoot through every now and then... and may sometimes get captured!

A lot of those demands aren't "petty" at all. Example; Van Halen was famous for the "bowl of M&Ms in the dressing room, no brown ones" rider. Seems crazy, right? The reason for it is that VH was one of the first acts to bring sophisticated stage performances to second-tier venues. That meant a lot of inexperienced and often-understaffed crews setting-up stunts that could be incredibly dangerous to the band. How do you make sure the crew read the instructions carefully and followed all of them? By making your insane M&Ms demand. Viola; you see one brown M&M in your dressing room, and you know the crew half-assed it, so you'd best not perform lest you get your ass fried. There are petty riders, sure, but they aren't all that.

My favorite line from this movie is when the alien commander says "Damn Godzilla! You're mistaken if you think your powers are a match for Mechagodzilla." It should've end with him adding " Naaaaa".
For anyone not already in the know, the name of Godzilla's furry ally in this film is King "Shisa". The Shisa are creatures from Okinawan mythology. They're a sort of mythical guard dog. Placing two Shisa statues in front of one's house is said to ward off certain evils. Why the localization changes the kaiju's name to Cesar is beyond me. Especially when he doesn't look even remotely Roman. Then again, I wouldn't expect American movie companies in the 70's to know anything about Okinawan culture.

So is Terror of Mechagodzilla next? Or are we going back to Godzilla's Revenge? Or just going to a random film in the series like Godzilla vs Gigan? I just can't wait for another Godzilla review!
Godzilla's Revenge (AKA All Monsters Attack) isn't so bad; you just have to go in with the right frame of mind. It's not a Godzilla movie at all. It's the story of a bullied neglected latchkey kid growing up in the shittiest industrialized crime-ridden wasteland in all of Japan who DREAMS about Godzilla. (And, okay, Godzilla's kid Minya.) Side note: The kid's elderly toy-maker neighbor is the actor who played the outrageous Dr. Who in King Kong Escapes.
Thank you...I feel Godzilla's Revenge is the most tragically underrated, misunderstood and frankly _overhated_ movie in the Godzilla franchise...when honestly, it's one of the smartest and surprisingly deep. It came as quite a shock to me when people hated on the movie for frankly _trivial things_ - like the stock footage. (When you consider the fact that home media _wasn't_ a thing back at it's release and wouldn't be for a few years - meaning if you missed a Godzilla movie in theaters, you _missed it for good_ - it was a great way to catch-up on all the Godzilla action you might've missed from other movies.) And honestly, this running joke of Brandon being too afraid to review the movie really has me wondering if he's actually going to stick to his guns and hate on it as much as it's reputation suggests, or if he's trying to fake us all out and reveal that he actually appreciates the movie for what it is.
Apart from from some overlooked details I noticed you mention that are explicitly stated in the film, this is still an entertaining review! Nicely done! Also great to see another kaiju fan who likes wrestling too! 2:29 Ironically, the guy who composed "Son of Godzilla" also composed this movie as well (hence why the track of Godzilla fighting Kumonga was used for King Caesar vs. Mechagodzilla)
Just because you can pilot something doesn't mean you know how to put it back together when you break it. Though, you would think they would have brought some of there enginers with them.
I can’t watch this movie without thinking of Brandon Tenold now lol. “Japanese Charles Bronson”, “We’re gonna throw a chair at you, you can act, make it work!”, “Did these aliens even build Mechagodzilla, or did they just steal him, why can’t they fix their own damn robot!”. Lmao, so many great jokes! I love this movie, but Brandon’s commentary makes it all the more enjoyable!
Actually there are metal just floating in space Brandon their called asteroid in space and meteorites on earth, but there is metal just floating in space other wise it a good review.
This was by far the best 70s Godzilla movie great action special effects great soundtrack and pretty good humans a little slow in the middle and king Caesar song is too long but still pretty good and would rank it as my 12th favorite
Shall I be honest, I kind of like this version of Mechagodzilla best, where he's the one we're supposed to be rooting AGAINST!! The later versions had him be the creation of humans, which I understand, but am not all that behind. The 90s Mechagodzilla film had a bit of a dumb design in my opinion, and the dialogue from that movie had me rooting for the monsters, who I'm supposed to be AGAINST!! The third MechaG had a better update in the design and actually looked like a robotic Godzilla, but it still had the human origin, so meh.
I agree. I liked the 90s film, but that's because Godzilla wins and is ultimately the hero. I didn't like the Kiryu films: they just felt like generic Mecha anime and Godzilla some generic kaiju.
I quite liked Kiryu. His design is really badass and he has a character arc. He does more then just have the purpose of being built to destroy his flesh counterpart. He was built over Gojira 54’s skeleton which gives him the memories of that incarnation. So he has character development in furfilling his purpose and accepting who he is. The ending of Tokyo S.O.S. made me cry when he bids farewell to his pilot
Hey man I just wanted to say that I've recently started watching all of you're Godzilla content and it's incredible! You're videos are amazing and I can't wait for the future reviews. Keep it up!
The Okinawan woman seeing a vision of King Ghidorah, only for it to be fulfilled by Mechagodzilla, is eerily prophetic of what happened in “Godzilla vs Kong.”
I love how it's been 3 years and you still haven't done Godzilla's Revenge. I can't say I blame you, it's a rough one. Plus you've done all the movies it replays anyway!
An old independent Phoenix tv station that was AZ's source for everything Godzilla had a cool commercial for their Godzilla marathons. They used clips from this film with The Police song "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". Sounds hokey now but was pretty cool back in the day.
Actually Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla was never aimed towards kids. In fact Toho stated they were done making kid friendly Godzilla films in 1974. They wanted to attract older audiences. I mean many people who reviewed this even mentions this.
@@ArmlessSteve4487 Only in America. Cuz apparently the MPAA didn’t bother to watch the movie. Plus Planet Of The Apes and other 60’s movies were rated G by mistake.
@@Shadowrulzalways Planet of the Apes isn't particularly "adult", at least not in the ways the MPAA rates. The story is deeply disturbing, but there's almost no violence, gore, sex, etc. Not sure why you think it needed a higher rating.
First Godzilla flick I ever saw. I was six and have been a massive fan since. Watched this on bluray the other night and I still enjoyed the hell out of it.
When I tell you you are the best and most epic reviewer on TH-cam I mean that! Lmaooooo I have not laughed so hard in a long time! You are the best! The funny thing is I was laid up in the hospital trying to find something to watch and fell asleep and woke up to your channel I am so glad I didn’t turn off my iPad lol this is epic!
11:22 Even though at the time I didn't know I was watching a Godzilla movie, this whole scene scared the shit out of me as a kid. I can still remember seeing him hooting like a gorilla and screaming like a man while watching it off my family's old, wooden, dial covered, box set TV. *sighs in nostalgia*
19:16 Big Jake with John Wayne was rated G and he fights a machete-wielding murderer hired alongside a child-killing, half-Apache gunfighter by Richard Boone to murder his 8-year-old grandson over a 20 year grudge. They even butcher his dog and he says "son of a bitch": twice! Silent Running and Across the Great Divide also come to mind...
Actually, assuming this film takes place BEFORE Destroy All Monsters, which happened in 1999, then the woman's vision of King Ghidorah makes a lot of sense as foreshadowing of the future.
GODZILLA FINAL WARS!!!! Edit: Dang thanks Brandon! Now complete the Showa and Millennium series's now. You've gotta reupload your Mothra vs Godzilla and Godzilla vs Gigan videos, and do Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, Godzilla vs Megagirus, GMK, and the two Kiryu films. Then you'll finally be done! Unless you have to reupoload your other reviews, then, as Toho would say: "too bad!"
Speaking of the whole rating thing, in the 1970's version of Romeo and Juliet, there's BEEEWBS and it's PG. It's like Beastmaster having tits and being PG too. Ah...how times have changed...
Looking at the content of Romeo and Juliet it would qualify for a PG13 rating given the factional fighting between their two families and the murder suicide that Romeo and Juliet did.
Yeah, but, these days we want to make sure our kids grow up into snowflakes too weak to face reality, so, let's protect them from the facts of life as long as we can to increase the trauma when it bites them in the ass.
Yeah, definitely a Planet of the Apes reference regarding the aliens. As for the silver costumes they were wearing, reminds me of the aliens from the Irwin Allen tv shows like Lost in Space.
15:50 To correct you, King Caesar never forgot he had that ability. The Prism Eye can only capture the energy beams of enemy monsters, which is why Mechagodzilla wisely resorted in using its finger missiles instead, as King Caesar cannot capture projectiles.

Lmao, so many great jokes! I love this movie, but Brandon’s commentary makes it all the more enjoyable!
Actually there are metal just floating in space Brandon their called asteroid in space and meteorites on earth, but there is metal just floating in space other wise it a good review.
I get the feeling he's saving Godzilla's Revenge for his 200th Episode.
This was by far the best 70s Godzilla movie great action special effects great soundtrack and pretty good humans a little slow in the middle and king Caesar song is too long but still pretty good and would rank it as my 12th favorite
This MG is one of the most badass enemies of all.
Shall I be honest, I kind of like this version of Mechagodzilla best, where he's the one we're supposed to be rooting AGAINST!! The later versions had him be the creation of humans, which I understand, but am not all that behind. The 90s Mechagodzilla film had a bit of a dumb design in my opinion, and the dialogue from that movie had me rooting for the monsters, who I'm supposed to be AGAINST!! The third MechaG had a better update in the design and actually looked like a robotic Godzilla, but it still had the human origin, so meh.
I agree. I liked the 90s film, but that's because Godzilla wins and is ultimately the hero. I didn't like the Kiryu films: they just felt like generic Mecha anime and Godzilla some generic kaiju.
I quite liked Kiryu. His design is really badass and he has a character arc. He does more then just have the purpose of being built to destroy his flesh counterpart. He was built over Gojira 54’s skeleton which gives him the memories of that incarnation. So he has character development in furfilling his purpose and accepting who he is. The ending of Tokyo S.O.S. made me cry when he bids farewell to his pilot
What about the new Mechagodzilla made by Apex?
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Still man made, but at least he’s a villain.
I agree with you bro
Hey man I just wanted to say that I've recently started watching all of you're Godzilla content and it's incredible! You're videos are amazing and I can't wait for the future reviews. Keep it up!
The Okinawan woman seeing a vision of King Ghidorah, only for it to be fulfilled by Mechagodzilla, is eerily prophetic of what happened in “Godzilla vs Kong.”
Do Godzilla Final Wars! It has a lot of monster action too!
Finally after 2 years your wish has been granted!
@@Mortiis558 damnit stole my comment lol
Your about 2 years early
Love final wars that movie is just fucking
Awesome
I love how it's been 3 years and you still haven't done Godzilla's Revenge. I can't say I blame you, it's a rough one. Plus you've done all the movies it replays anyway!
Don't forget, Godzilla can make logic his...well...unruly female dog.
Btw, "Simon Says" to wake up King Cesar...PERFECT!
Pulling new powers out of their ass is a trait every Japanese monster and giant robot possesses!🤣🤣🤣
2:39 I like how they put calm music over that part.
The King Caesar song is actually pretty catchy.
Uhh Mothra is a better theme
But you can't math mechagodzilla's theme
Im more of a jet jaguar theme guy myself
This is a good candidate for the quintessential Showa Godzilla movie.
You really deserve more subs. These reviews are always great.
An old independent Phoenix tv station that was AZ's source for everything Godzilla had a cool commercial for their Godzilla marathons. They used clips from this film with The Police song "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". Sounds hokey now but was pretty cool back in the day.
This was a very nice review, I was nodding my head a lot like "yep, that's exactly what I'd be saying too" :)
I finally got to this gem. One of my favorites. It seems to have everything . Dude, you are so hilarious in this review. Thanks for the laughs.
0:36 "You can't hide from me forever. Come. Join the dork side."
Actually Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla was never aimed towards kids. In fact Toho stated they were done making kid friendly Godzilla films in 1974. They wanted to attract older audiences. I mean many people who reviewed this even mentions this.
John Reeves but the movie is rated G
So THAT'S why this movie featured blood and gore!
@@ArmlessSteve4487 Only in America. Cuz apparently the MPAA didn’t bother to watch the movie. Plus Planet Of The Apes and other 60’s movies were rated G by mistake.
@@Shadowrulzalways oh
@@Shadowrulzalways Planet of the Apes isn't particularly "adult", at least not in the ways the MPAA rates. The story is deeply disturbing, but there's almost no violence, gore, sex, etc. Not sure why you think it needed a higher rating.
This is one of your best reviews yet. You are spot on and on fire here.
Thanks for your great stuff :)
First Godzilla flick I ever saw. I was six and have been a massive fan since. Watched this on bluray the other night and I still enjoyed the hell out of it.
Do Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla!
He finally used the "ooh shiiit." Clip
King Caesar: "SHIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYTTTTTT!!!!!!!"
He needs to use that every video. It's hilarious.
Hope you can do another animated movie sometime this year but this was great!
When I tell you you are the best and most epic reviewer on TH-cam I mean that! Lmaooooo I have not laughed so hard in a long time! You are the best! The funny thing is I was laid up in the hospital trying to find something to watch and fell asleep and woke up to your channel I am so glad I didn’t turn off my iPad lol this is epic!
11:22 Even though at the time I didn't know I was watching a Godzilla movie, this whole scene scared the shit out of me as a kid. I can still remember seeing him hooting like a gorilla and screaming like a man while watching it off my family's old, wooden, dial covered, box set TV. *sighs in nostalgia*
The person who made this made Godzilla vs megalon, Godzilla vs the sea monster, Godzilla son,and Godzilla vs gigan
Holy shit guess he got lucky with this movie
Jun fukuda had his redemption with this movie
lemonbemon while I do enjoy his previous work I would say the is the best Godzilla he made
@@Randomshit2727 for sure
19:16 Big Jake with John Wayne was rated G and he fights a machete-wielding murderer hired alongside a child-killing, half-Apache gunfighter by Richard Boone to murder his 8-year-old grandson over a 20 year grudge. They even butcher his dog and he says "son of a bitch": twice! Silent Running and Across the Great Divide also come to mind...
Robert Corbell ah yes, those were the times when men were men and women were women. Both figuratively and literally.
Just started following your channel and I’m also a huge Godzilla fan. Your reviews are fantastic and this movie is also one of my favorite ones too.
I know i'm about to explain a 70's monster movie,but the space titanium could be from asteroid or meteorite
or cybertron blew up
+bold buster I'd watch Godzilla vs Transformers
+darkservantofheaven mecha Godzilla made an appearance in a transformers game so I'd believe it XD
Brandon3685
It's not actually mechagodzilla but it looks damn close to it xD
Actually, assuming this film takes place BEFORE Destroy All Monsters, which happened in 1999, then the woman's vision of King Ghidorah makes a lot of sense as foreshadowing of the future.
I love this movie! Glad you're reviewing it.
I wasn't expecting this from a godzilla movie... Have you never seen a godzilla movie with Mothra in it? the singing is the best part.
Do godzilla's revenge and final wars.
I love how that cover of Godzilla's Revenge uses 84Goji along with a weird render of Minilla.
MORE GODZILLA MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!
Fun fact the same guy that the Noble peace prize is named after also made dinomit
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II anyone?
Hell yeah!!!
Gojirawars 03 dinosauro do parque ti0 reks
GODZILLA FINAL WARS!!!! Edit: Dang thanks Brandon! Now complete the Showa and Millennium series's now. You've gotta reupload your Mothra vs Godzilla and Godzilla vs Gigan videos, and do Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, Godzilla vs Megagirus, GMK, and the two Kiryu films. Then you'll finally be done! Unless you have to reupoload your other reviews, then, as Toho would say: "too bad!"
3:08 who says she didn't predict DestroyAllMonsters?, i meanit takes place in the future so...
I just can't stop watching from the 15.00 minute mark to the 15.40 mark .. pure awesomeness
And just want to let you know and give us crawled back to Monster Island just to car Godzilla then he swam over then he popped out of a warehouse?
Brandon Tenold makes the best Godzilla reviews.
The aliens look like they’re wearing the “quasi-futuristic clothes” designed by Dr Evil lol
Speaking of the whole rating thing, in the 1970's version of Romeo and Juliet, there's BEEEWBS and it's PG. It's like Beastmaster having tits and being PG too. Ah...how times have changed...
1968. Franco Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet was 1968. Plus countless other films come to mind from the era.
Looking at the content of Romeo and Juliet it would qualify for a PG13 rating given the factional fighting between their two families and the murder suicide that Romeo and Juliet did.
Yeah, but, these days we want to make sure our kids grow up into snowflakes too weak to face reality, so, let's protect them from the facts of life as long as we can to increase the trauma when it bites them in the ass.
This is one my favorite Godzilla films.
He's definitely going to do another review when King of the Monsters comes out
18:41 DECAPITATION!!! i know where you got that from XD
A quote from Jack Black 18:42
I've seen this video several times, and that "oh Jesus' always makes me laugh.
In my top 5 that's for sure, when it comes to Kaiju movies anyway.
Also when is Shin Godzilla?
Minilla looks creepy as fuck in that cover at the begonning.
Someone out there make Godzilla's Revenge a Patreon Request so that he'd have to review it.
Yeah, there are big chunks of metal floating around space waiting for aliens to mine them. They're called asteroids.
This was your funniest Godzilla review
he did... once.
+Godzi11nano Kaiju fuck you!!!😠
Yeah, definitely a Planet of the Apes reference regarding the aliens. As for the silver costumes they were wearing, reminds me of the aliens from the Irwin Allen tv shows like Lost in Space.
Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla is a classic
This is probably my favorite Godzilla film from the first run, other than the original.
