“This is Tokyo, once a city of 6 million people. What has happen here was caused by a force which, up until a few days ago was entirely beyond the scope of mans imagination. Tokyo - a smoldering memorial to the unknown… an unknown which, at this very moment, still prevails… and could at any time lash out with terrible destruction… anywhere else in the world. There were once many people here who could have told of what they saw. Now there are only a few.” -Steve Martin 1956

As a lifelong G-Fan, it really does make me happy to see other fans finally respect the American version of this film. Because everyone else on the internet (at least from what I have seen and heard so far) absolutely LOATHS the American version of this film for no other reason than the original is better. But just because the original is the nest does NOT mean that this version is deserving of so much hatred. And the true irony of it all is that all of the American-hating Godzilla fans, wouldn't even be Godzilla fans if it wasn't for the very film that they tear apart. I mean seriously, without this film, Godzilla would have just stayed in Japan and the rest of the world may not have even heard of Godzilla. Bear that in mind next time someone tries to tell everyone how horrible this film is. Bottom line; it's NOT terrible, at all! While, yes, the original is definitely the best Godzilla film ever made, that does NOT mean that this version of that film is bad in any way, shape, or form.
@Sean Peabody Initially, most people in Japan saw Gojira as exploiting the destruction that the Japanese suffered in WW2. But Japanese opinion changed when the positive reviews came in from the USA. Americans saw the movie not as exploiting the damage Japan suffered in WW2. Rather people in the US saw the film as a warning of the dangers of nuclear weapons testing

I've always wished they would remake this 1954 version as a period piece but super graphic and show keloid scars and very gore effects of godzilla killing people and godzilla be disfigured and look horrifying like shin godzilla but tone down a bit power wise And the music of godzilla in toyko bay would be perfect music to show the horror and gore of his destructions bodies defying and blood splattered remains everywhere
I feel like the writing could either make or break a project like that. At best, it could be a pretty interesting horror version of the original. At worst, it would just be a tasteless, gratuitous gore fest.

One of the best opening speeches in a movie

"Damned beast!"
What else is there to say after a monster devastates your city?
Scariest music in the entire movie
Despite the bad reviews Gojira (Godzilla) got in Japan, you can't deny, the film has some damn good music

The film wasn’t criticized, as Japan did find it as just an exploit of the bombings, they did find the impact of the movie’s metaphor healing
Play it at two times speed and you have the perfect theme for a Disney villain
true
Holy shit how does that work so well
Tick Tock Croczilla
This actually fits the crocodile from Peter pan lol
I used to think this was Hedorahs Theme as an 8yo
welp people makes mistakes
I mean, it would work.
@@MetaFanWing I know, this theme perfectly describes a moving pile of sludge.
Shinkichi: Damned beast! Damned beast! Damned beast! Damned beast! Damned beast!

We both have similar profile pictures
@@SaimonBhattarai2 I noticed lol
to the one person ho disliked this, i will make the words "godzilla in tokyo bay" a reality.
That’s probably why he disliked it; his day at the beach got ruined by Godzilla.
@@superspeedbros2422 ok thats funny
@@dystroyah8703 but your Destroyah tho. Are you gonna call Godzilla and tell him about the dislike?
Said Destoroyah
Bruhh
This was entertaining musically
I always want steamed white sticky rice, chop sticks, sake and grilled tuna with wasabi when I hear this
Great video 👍🏻.
I tried playing this over the anime film "Barefoot Gen." It still disturbs me.

He's coming to get you and there's nothing you can do about it either WOW!!!!!
;D
WHY THE HELL DID THEY PLAY THIS IN COZZILLA'S OPENING CREDITS
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING LUIGI COZZI
When I approach the village with Bad Omen 5 because I want to see death and destruction.
Sounds like it should be in Friday the 13th whenever you see Jason in the background when 2 people are talking and he is not making his Iconic sound.
Eh, I think it'd fit more in Jaws personally.
Lol i how the soundtrack is ised fir the italian godzilla in 1977
Sounds like a funeral march for Tokyo
Does this score remind anyone else of the "House of Horror" track from SpongeBob?
Speed 0.5x The suit was now his skin...
Tv man
Brainrot
Godzilla: bye noobs : japanens i hate you gojira
Godzilla: Hey, you only hate me, because I hate you. Let THAT sink in.
Well, they don't actualy hate godzilla tho, they just want to stop him
@@superspeedbros2422Japs: Suck mai deek. Let THAT sink in. It sinks and its floats in your gay mouth.
