Gotta love at part 1:10 when he just randomly starts shooting the scenery which isn't anywhere NEAR godzilla or King caesar. It's like he's saying "hey, you bush! Yeah, F*** you too!"
lol 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
Hey, it’s a Godzilla movie set. If you build it, you must destroy it! Innocent bushes and trees are not immune! 😂
In 1974 we had cinematic classic like Chinatown, Godfather Part 2, Blazing Saddles... all of which can't hold a candle to this movie when a giant radioactive dinosaur turns himself into a magnet to fight a robot version of himself.
LOL
True
Truth
@@surfmorworklessever heard about some monsters called kaiju
you've also gotta remember he fights alongside a giant chezar statue that came to live
The best part about this iteration is that he's not even "robot version of Godzilla". It's more like "giant artillery battery shaped like Godzilla". They really just threw as many guns, missiles, and lasers on every possible surface they could fit.
The mock up x-ray Toho made of him is funny, everything is a munitions storage or rack to the guns
And it was all for naught
That's why I love it. Plus he would look right at home on a metal album cover.
Bro pretty much pulled out a "Shock And Awe" strat right there to those 2 kaijus
The best comment in the video
This movie is turning 50 Years old in 2024. Still remains in my Top Five favorite Godzilla movies.
I fucking love how many missiles and lasers they actually added on to the OG design. Literally covered head to toe. Makes this scene easily the coolest “unloading all weaponry” scene in history.
He does it again in Terror of Mecha godzilla but it's not nearly as memorable... I think is because of the happy music and the histrionic movements of Godzilla and King Caesar
In the SNES video game Godzilla Kaiju Daikessen, Mechagodzilla's ultimate attack is "Fire All Weapons." Immensely satisfying.
One reason I'm not as big of a fan of the new design in Godzilla vs. Kong; Having him be a better hand to hand fighter than Zilla just kind of seemed "Wrong" when in the past he was the dedicated long range fighter character of the Kaiju world.
Sure, it looked kind of clunky and hokey, but that was its APPEAL.
😂
The full burst before Kira Yamato did it
1:10 I love how he destroys the landscape for no reason
Asserting dominance and cool effects. Honestly, I loved it.
No he send rockets from his fingers
Buddy hates nature cuz he aint natural
"Fuck this bit of land in particular"
Yeah that's one of the bad things about the Bionic monster (Mecha Godzilla MG1)
0:03 i love how mechagodzilla doesn't jump or even fly with rockets or something to dodge the atomic breath
He simply...FLOATS
“I must go. My people need me.”
And Godzilla flips him off
"aight I'ma head out"
@@crimsonfox_yeahGodzilla: BRO HES HACKING
@@mrwhoman246 Mechagodzilla: Hey I'm back, I had to eat dinner
0:08 the reaction Godzilla does is the cutest thing ever. Can’t wait to get these on Criterion.
ikr
Don’t know what slaps harder, the music track or mechagodzilla’s weapon arsenal?
That’s getting two slaps
Ikr...both !!
It slaps with both hands.
So let me get this straight: Alien gorillas wanna take over our planet, they built a giant artillery battery in the shape of their mortal enemy and yet they were flabbergasted that a diety like King Ceasar is coming to aid their greatest threat to their plans. Godzilla plots were wild.
alien gorillas that smoke cigars
Back then it was all in good fun!
It’s showa Godzilla, what do you expect?
This movie is my childhood. Next to King Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla vs Megalon.
I had this and "Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster"
this original mecha g was nuts . he had weapons everywhere and remains pretty much stationary while he attacks
He just stands there…menacingly!!
I like how the whole plot of the film revolved around getting king ceasar into action complete with a song to bring him back and he spends the entire fight getting his shit rocked and godzilla has to do most the work.
🤣👍🏿
Glad someone brought it up. Also, apparently he can't use his Lazer reversing eyes when he's taken too much damage.
That must have been an endurance test to film inside those suits with that much pyrotechnics going off. I can't even complain about using de-facto stock footage for some of it because if you do enough pyrotechnics something IS gonna go wrong.
When you start dying from a robot version of you but you realise you have plot armour
Godzilla and Bruce Lee were his heroes for a boy who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s.
Idk why this Mechagodzilla version is more appealing to me than the Kiryu and Legendary version.
I love kiryu and this one
Couldn't care less for any others.
This one's so chunky and cool.
You like that jazz I know you do
It's the soundtrack...that music was everything!!!
maybe cuz of the overwhelming amount of weapons he has. But in the end, Kiryu and Legendary are the best Mechas in existence.
@@jayzachary9709 Tbh, Kiryu and Legendary have the best soundtracks, but this was also amazing
1:18 Always thought it was so cool how Godzilla got off a shot while he was falling and the effects work on tracking and keeping the beam in his mouth as he fell was excellent.
It also happens a few times in the Heisei era as well.
1:03 I know it's from the silly, campy movies, but Showa Mechagodzilla's my favourite 'cuz of just how brutal he is. I think this model would give all the others a real run for their money.
I love how evil it looks especially compared to the other versions
They just put Godzilla falling down in reverse at 1:22 LMFAO!
Lmao I saw that too🤣
Maybe they did that to make it look like he got back up
these movies had particularly low budgets and each shoot must’ve been quite expensive, they had to take shortcuts every now and then
I need more Godzilla movies like this .
The monster battle grounds are nothing to play with.
Jet Jaguar is requested for a new Godzilla movie
Old comment but if you haven't seen, there's a very recent short Toho released with the old suits featuring JJ and Goji teaming up against Ghidorah.
All practical effects even.
Love the bombardment of MG's arsenals, especially the fast cuts to each closeups of his weapons
Mechagodzilla’s 50th anniversary.
Bro Mechagodzilla literally camps Godzilla and King Caesar out for a whole minute of the movie. This folks, is how “spamming” was created.
It legit lasts from 2:08 to 3:17 like wth 😭😭
Artillery support bro
Showa mechagodzilla is the living embodiment of chaos.
They really anthropomorphised Godzilla with this version of the costume. He looks like a Disney character.
It had a lot of personality, and the suit actor made damn sure to show it.
0:05 where Godzilla misses with his breath and goes "SHUCKS!" 🤣
I thought he's was saying damn😂I miss
It’s like he’s speaking when he does the little roars
“Fiddlesticks! 🤬”.
(2:10) MechaGodzilla going absolutely ham for over a minute straight.
With the amount of pyrotechnics going off around and even _on_ Godzilla and King Caesar, those stuntmen must have had balls of solid space titanium.
Ham? More like Scarface!
The point where you start to stop going "oh man, MechaGodzilla is really going to town" and start thinking "Man I hope the guys in those suits are okay..."
Zoners in fighting games be like
@@GatesOfAvalon1"Just use block bro"
Love the music in this scene. King Caesar is underrated; I'd love to see him get a solo film.
Best Godzilla soundtrack in my opinion
@@WildWixch As much as I love Ifukube-san, I wish we'd get more scores that sounded like this.
Thet intended to have King Caesar be a recurring character, but the suit got destroyed by water damage before he got into another film so they scrapped him.
@@zadenwachter9918 Paying my respect to the Shodai-Ceasar suit.
F
2:06 This scene is brutal, both in fiction, showing the ruthless of MechaGodzilla and being in absolute advantage in a 1 v 2 battle, even Godzilla bleeded a lot, he just got that wounded against Hedorah (most intoxicated and burnt) and Gigan, (but he just cut one of his shoulders) as in production, the suit actors and stunts being bombarded by a great amount of pyrotechnics and still try to not collapse by the suits' weight
Mecha whooped they ass 😂
lolololol
The way MechaGodzilla fired all of his weapons at Godzilla and King Ceasar at 2:09 gave me goosebumps
That part was just absolutely totally badass! Its such a shame i wished we could've gotten a Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla movie instead of a crappy Kong Vs Godzilla movie that involved a dissapointing Mechagodzilla with a bad plot smfh wasted opportunity
@@AdamWest1290 I understand that people can like or hate different things sometimes.
メカゴジラの命中率悪くてwww
@@フリーダム料理長 I don't think it was.
@@AdamWest1290ikr
People can't deny how funny and cute Godzilla's face looks like at 0:57.
Awww
This Godzilla suit was affectionately known as puppy dog Godzilla, or puppy face Godzilla
0:57 this is good explosion work
Robot steals identity of local celebrity and tries to murder his friends #Explainafilmplotbadly
Then the local celebrity gains a random power up 4:33
Happy 50th Year Anniversary to the King of the Monsters🦖 vs The Silver Robotic King of the Monsters🦖🤖
Grew up watching this one on VHS, to this day my all time favorite Godzilla Film.
I love how at 4:29 Godzilla looks like he’s saying, “all right, I’ve had enough of your crap!”
Nearly 50 years later and this movie STILL slaps!
I used to watch Godzillathons on TMC as a kid 😭❤️
I was very angry when I found out King Caesar was not included in the PS2 version of Godzilla Unleashed because they put his picture on the back cover! No good! :(
If godzilla never gained magnetism as a power he and King ceesar would both had died
Mechagodzilla is honestly one of my most favorite characters in the Godzilla movies
Gotta respect MechaG. He held his own against TWO kaijus. Not only that, he came THIS close to kicking their butts
4:30 Godzilla decides to go Super Saiyan.
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla is one of the Godzilla films I’ve seen the least because it’s been out of print on DVD for so long. I never picked it up when it was still in production, but I sure as hell rented it from Blockbuster every chance I got. I’m looking forward to the Criterion box set. It’ll set me back quite a bit, but having every Showa film in HD is worth it
I had the VHS. I moved out of my parents like 20 something years ago and I know it's still in there place somewhere in the garage. Hopefully I can find it and get it put on DVD. Its still to this day my favorite of all Godzilla movies.
1:03 Shouldn't King Caesar have been able to reflect that?
I feel the graphic novels did more justice to King Ceasar
@@victormoisesgalvan1596 King ceaser looked like a demon in the movie lol. I just got into watching the old movies and after that women was singing for king ceaser and they showed him in the cave he looked like a lion and a bunny from hell. Man he was fucking scary lol
I mean, yeah, but would that have resulted in something *as cool* as what actually happened?
@@markabbot4850 lol you're not wrong
Technically yeah, but I think there was an interview with somebody at Toho that said KC's reflection ability only really worked if it was fired directly into his eyes, and in this shot they said it was fired at his 'face' instead, avoiding his eyes entirely.
3:50 As a kid when I saw Godzilla bleeding and all those missiles stuck in him, I thought for sure the G-Man was dead or at least gonna die after defeating Mecha-G.
Bro thats not skibidi toilet
@@cuckcake1816 g-man referring to godzilla besides half-life
it would've been more intense if it was in a city, in a way it's still awesome
Yeah
@@itsmeashaalawesome1937 Godzilla vs Kong is similar
Well, in the direct sequel, Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975), Godzilla's battle with Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus started out in downtown Tokyo (not to mention just before that, we get to enjoy watching Mechagodzilla obliterate countless skyscrapers with its eye lasers and finger missiles!)
A true classic from my childhood
wow. this totally reminds me of when i used to watch mars attacks and how much of the humor was lost on me because i took it like it was totally this serious movie hahah
I love the ending. Gman is like alright, I saw everything you got, now it's my turn.
in my opinion
this is the best showa godzilla movie
I love the inclusive rainbow beams
4:36 showa godzilla can do a nuke pulse!
Godzilla is my favorite kaijū movie monster ever! Because I watched this film many times, as well on ABS-CBN and on A2Z Channel.
Love how they literally reused King Kongs roars and stuff for King Caesar
1:31 birth of AT Field
I just kinda feel like everone forgot about the old mechgodzilla
Fr
I love Godzilla robot double and king ceaser
By far my favorite incarnation long live MegaroGoji 1973-1975. This was when he was a fighter and just did not rely on his atomic abilities to win battles like the Heisei era did in 1984-1995.
ok so, heisei mecha goji suit was very expensive to make, thus the production team didn't want it to get scratched. So they opted to have him rely on long ranged moves
@@CrazedFloridaMan I think that's also the case for MechaG in Heisei. Evidently, the material of the suit was super brittle, so they had to compromise.
Really, one complaint I have with Heisei is that they seem to have a very "aesthetics over functionality" aspect to the suit design.
That’s why this and 1999-2000 incarnations are the goats
@@somerandomdogontheinternet1338 GOAT is subjective in this world Zilla Jr takes that spot
@@AnthonyMcqueen1987 nuh uh. To me Showa and Millennium are the goats
Godfather 2 won best picture and this didn't even get nominated?
Even as someone who doesn’t really like the Showa era, I will say, this fight is still fun.
Your attention please. Do you know that this Japanese Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla movie is from the Showa Era? Both Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974) and the Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975).
After the Showa Era comes the Heisei Era.
The first Mechagodzilla we see here is Mechagodzilla Showa
In both Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla and the Terror of Mechagodzilla
And Mechagodzilla Showa is controlled autonomously by a computer.
As for Mechagodzilla, Heisei has pilots and diamond armor and when combined with the Garuda Ship using it as a backpack, it becomes Super Mechagodzilla. As for Mechagodzilla Millennium, which stars Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (2002) and Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S (2003), it is known as Kiryu.
Who is here after watching Godzilla vs. Kong trailor?
MechagodIlla has advanced so much
This only Godzilla movie that I don’t have on DVD because it was so hard to find it.
Cai Vue that is why we live in a world called technology and digital, go online and order it asshole
@@dennisedmonds81 physical is better
I remember being traumatized by this movie. I’d watched Godzilla 1985, Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster, & Godzilla vs. Megalon prior to this. Imagine my shock & horror when I saw Godzilla not only defeated by Mechagodzilla, but that he was bleeding too. I was 8 when I saw this.
When Godzilla gets up and he is posing/preparing with his Kabuki Stance to become a giant magnet too pull Mecha-Godzilla towards him, I say during that posing electricity surrounding his body scene-“GODZILLAAAAAA WOOOOOO!” ❤👍👍👍🍻
wow.. who needs star wars?
Eric Cartman: Godzilla
Scott Tenorman: Mechagodzilla
Token Black: King Ceaser
I remember I asked my mom to order this from the Avon lady when I was a kid. She did. I watched it. It was funny.
0:58 Here you see an example of good scenography. They show us Mechagodzilla's foot, we are left wondering "what's with the foot", next shot, Mechagodzilla shooting both of them towards both sides.
My all time favorite Godzilla movie
I always go bananas when I see Kaiju shit. It's the good stuff
Godzilla almost getting killed 😢4:06
Watchin' this stuff just now and I kept waiting for mechagodzilla to transform.
Ahh, The good old days
As a die hard godzilla fan that enjoyed this movie and terror of mechagodzilla the new Kong vs Godzilla movie was absolutely dissapointing and should've never happened, mechagodzilla vs godzilla shouldve been its own movie with King Ceasar, WASTED OPPORTUNITY and not mention the Mechagodzilla in Kong vs Godzilla was horrible
I agree, kong being in the movie was unnessaary, shouldve jus been godzilla vs mechagodzilla
Gotta like this mechagodzilla doing that Shock And Awe strategy to both godzilla and king caesar
And the video ends right before Godzilla makes his big comeback to win the fight. 😑😒
mechagodzilla‘s
combat effectiveness
Japan : 10000
USA：100000000000000000
Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla is (at the time) the best Showa era Godzilla film since Ghidorah The Three-Headed Monster. MechaGodzilla absolutely pushed Godzilla and his allies to their limits over the next 47 years [Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, Terror of MechaGodzilla, Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II, Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla, Godzilla: Tokyo SOS, Godzilla vs Kong] (making Godzilla bleed 6 times, breaking Anguirus’ jaw in a bloody display, almost killing King Caesar, and making Rodan die). Though he’s appeared in fewer films (6) than King Ghidorah (8), MechaGodzilla will forever go down in kaiju history as the ONLY monster to either make Godzilla bleed and/or die. Long live MechaGodzilla: the king of the robot monsters
Same here buddy & amc
Destoroyah killed godzilla and gigan made godzilla bleed! 😡😡😡 know your godzilla stuf!
@@garymoses5855Destroyah never killed Godzilla he just died in that movie because he was going through Nuclear meltdown. Gigan did make Godzilla bleed first yeah. Mechagodzilla killed Godzilla in the Heisei era before Godzilla was revived by Rodan.
That was really scary; don't think I'll ever sleep again.🦖🦖🦖
I love how it's like from Kong vs Godzilla that weird looking fury thing is Kong
yall dont want the smoke with MG💀
A God is greater than a king .
With his arsenal, Mechagodzilla just said "FUCK YOU" to Godzilla, King Cesar and everything and everyone within a 6 mile radius.
One of the actors freeing himself he was in one of the Japanese Versions of Dracula
Yes, that would be Shin Kishida (here as Interpol Agent Nanbara)
Bro hes spamming his power
What I get a kick out of, is the ENDLESS SUPPLY, of munitions. Even the laser arrays and electricity. You never think about that, as a kid. I'm 60.
Cool, he unlocked himself, now he can help godzilla!
Katushya rocket and laser barrage until godzilla is bleeding out from his neck arteries.
Nevermind.
I never get tired of watching this movie 🍿
A tin can filled with missiles and lasers. Such a classic
My top 10 Godzilla movies of all time:
1. King Kong vs. Godzilla
2. Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla
3. Godzilla: Final Wars
4. Godzilla vs Gigan
5. Godzilla 2000: Millennium
6. Shin Godzilla
7. Destroy All Monsters
8. Ghidorah, the 3 headed Monster
9. Godzilla vs the Sea Monster
10. Godzilla vs. Megalon
What are your thoughts on Godzilla vs Space Godzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S?
Oh that was real good Clark you pissed him off now
Why King Caeser roar sound like King Kong from King Kong vs Godzilla
Toho is known for recycling roars for various kaiju. Examples include: Varan's roar reused for Baragon, Gorosaurus and Megalon; also Kong '62 roar was altered as the roars for Gaira and Sanda in War of the Gargantuas. In addition, Mothra Imago's chirps were sped up Anguirus roars. Likewise, Rodan's roar was altered and used for Heisei King Ghidorah and Battra.
thats because it is the same roar toho used for King Kong in King Kong Vs Godzilla and King Kong Escapes.
I'd kind of like to see aliens be introduced in the Monsterverse.
why does this version of godzilla look cute? lol
and my boy king caesar got his ass whooped in this movie...
love that hand-drawn forcefield
This is surprisingly entertaining
