    The sad thing is that suit actors are pretty much history now, with CGI taking it's place. But there is something charming about monster suits. It's like a classic silent movie.

      He liked it! We joined him at a special screening on Saturday at the US military base in Yokosuka. It will be part of a bigger episode of SciFi Japan TV coming this summer, covering various 60th anniversary Godzilla events in Japan.

    • @godzilla2845
      @godzilla2845 10 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      zay lifts I read somewhere how he left the theatre in the middle of the movie and during am interview said that that was not Godzilla, there was no heart in it; in other words he despised the 1998 one.

    • @SuperBustyEva
      @SuperBustyEva 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    • @TownieGirl1974
      @TownieGirl1974 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      thekidj458 He loved the 2014 movie and hated the 1998 movie. In fact, he walked out of the 98 movie. I swear I saw him do an interview on the Red Carpet after the 2014 movie premiered in Japan and he said he got up and cheered when he saw the 2014 Godzilla for the first time in the movie.

    I used to do part time IT work for an advertising company. Once I had to go into the basement to run some cable, and found an awesome foam rubber dinosaur suit. I wasn't allowed to try it on, but man, I daydreamed for weeks about roaming around downtown wearing it. lol

    Hey G fans support the new kaiju game as well which will release a Godzilla version. Kaiju Combat. (site link on my channel comments) Kaiju Combat is not a single game - it is a brand that will (eventually) cover a dozen or more individual games.When launching any release, players will be presented with a loading screen which allows them to toggle on/off any or all content from all releases they own. (Gamera,Godzilla,Ultraman and Harryhousen guaranteed)kickstarter is October15

      Nope.A fan just made a replica of the MosuGoji suit.I must say,he did a pretty good job at making it.
      Some Godzilla suits do rot at a long period of time but there are others that are still in good condition like the suits from the Heisei series and the Millennium series.
