Godzilla 1954 - Caravan of Garbage

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- It seems unlikely that the creators behind the 1954 original Japanese Godzilla movie could anticipated it not only remaining culturally relevant at least 70 years but also would eventually feature Godzilla and King King (sans metal gauntlet) travelling into the hollow earth to fight a race of giant orang utans or whatever happens in Godzilla V Kong. And yet here we are. Anyways, lets all take a look at where it all started. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

There's something about the fact that Godzilla can go an allegory of nukes to a giant lizard who fights aliens and back to the former so easily
Nukes can be used to fight aliens, so it makes sense really.
He is the most versatile character in all of fiction
We can always use more Pacific Rim-like movies when done well.
We don't talk about the 2nd one.
I appreciate that they got audio of Mason actually underwater talking to godzilla
I hope they pay these editors really well. Inspired work in every single video!
Mason clearly is under the impression that Akira Kurosawa directed Godzilla 1954
Yeah I got confused I was like wait a minute Kurosawa absolutely did not direct Godzilla
The first time James mentioned him, it did sort of seem like he was implying that he did. I was confused also.
Funniest joke and it’s not even intentional
I think James confused him earlier in the video. Mr Scumbag Movies strikes again
He literally said in the video. You think he’s lying?
Fun fact: when later Godzilla films came to color, they actually discussed whether they should keep Godzilla’s atomic breath white or make it a different color. Eventually they landed on making it blue, but making that kind of effect blue was actually a little difficult. They had to search for effects people that could pull it off. This resulted in King Kong vs Godzilla (the first Godzilla film in color) having the working title Blue Harvest, which was coincidentally the same working title for Star Wars Episode 6 Return of the Jedi
Love the meme
The most honest commentary on war ever made, from the viewpoint of the average person. No heroes, no politics, no excuses. A big angry thing shows up, randomly destroys a bunch of stuff without any rhyme or reason, and then leaves. There is no celebration, no relief , no catharsis ... you're just left with a bunch of broken stuff and the feeling it could happen again at any time and you would be just as powerless.
I vote to replace this channel's intro tune with these two imitating the Godzilla theme. Pure magic.
Seconded
Podcast still needs a theme song
@GrownUpKid94 the weekly planet.....shooting up ya butttthole
Or have I been here too long?
@@GrownUpKid94 SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAVE ME
At least do it for the godzilla videos
With all the Godzilla fandom drama around TH-camrs right now, I appreciate the respect you had for the series. So many TH-camrs are making disrespectful videos about the whole Godzilla franchise after only ever seeing Minus One and spreading just plain wrong information.
We like to call it the "Andor" syndrome.
Looking at you, Doctor Skipper.
@@leithaziz2716Better start calling people like him “Tourist”. He knows nothing about Godzilla and it’s obvious he’s glazing Minus One for cheap views
Drama is what gave the fandom life
That's why i love James Rolfe, he really loves the original ones.
"Underwater Nick Mason" certainly wasn't on my 2024 bingo card
He has to be careful not to succumb to underwater autoerotic asphyxiation like Kit Fisto
Strange, it was my free space
I’m just waiting on “Rodney guy returns”
I love godzilla on his lil underwater bed
Of all the top tier editing that this channel has, that James Bond kettle drum part might be the funniest thing that's ever been dropped into your videos. Amazing stuff.
LOL I was dying laughing at the commentary on that scene when they covered that Bond film.
Seeing it so brilliantly woven into here was too good 😂
Godzilla (1954) is a masterpiece because not only is it a great horror movie but it’s also a movie that stands the test of time and some of the movies that came after this could even top this apart from Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One. I love goofy rubber suit battle royale Godzilla but I also love serious and terrifying Godzilla
It really encapsulates the term "classic" in nearly every way
I always find it weird when I see Godzilla refered to as a horror movie. I get that some themes do align with horror, but I always found Godzilla to be more comparable to war action movies than horror, maybe cause Godzilla has more in common with atomic bombs than the typical slasher.
A classic and the begining of the saga/franchise.
The best monster movies had one-word titles:
1) Jaws
2) Gojira
3) THEM!
4) Tremors
5) Gremlins
I worked on the DVD release for this and the photos I got to work with from ToHo were incredible.The craft and vision for this film was amazing. I love the return to this era from recent Godzilla’s.
Still blown away by how much I loved Minus 1.
Godzilla disappears for an hour, and its still gripping.
Genuinely one of the best war movies I ever saw.
Now I want to watch Minus One again
Godzilla is literally in FOUR scenes of the original 54 movie, one of them is a hand puppet. Its hilarious when people go on about "too much humans" in the Legendary films, when 90% of Godzilla movies are all 80-90% humans with minimal "monster". The extreme few exceptions are the worst 70s Showa Era films made for children and usually have a kenny in them or are made from recycled footage.
I legitimately thought for a bit that Godzilla was ONLY going to appear at the beginning, and I was completely fine with that.
The commitment of George Lucas to his craft to actually have his own arms cut off for the Dooku scenes is impressive.
"Then something something the Matrix"
Gosh I feel like I should be paying tuition for this History Of Cinema class Maso just gave me.
I can't believe James and Mason overlooked A Bugs Life for the Seven Samurai Extended Universe
A few movies inspired by Seven Samurai:
- The Magnificent Seven (1960)
- The Dirty Dozen (1967)
- The Savage Seven (1968)
- The Invincible Six (1970)
- Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)
- The Seven Magnificent Gladiators (1983)
- Three Amigos (1986)
- A Bug's Life (1998)
- The 13th Warrior (1999)
Don't forget Rebel Moon Pt.1: A Child of Fire! (I remember, so you don't have to. You're welcome 😊)
People always forget that The Magnificent Seven (1960) had three sequels: Return of the Seven (1966), Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969), and The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972) (the exclamation mark is part of the title). There was also a late-90s Magnificent Seven TV series that was canonically connected to the films. Its cast included Michael Biehn and Ron Perlman.
Is The Hateful Eight also a sequel
Not sure if it's a joke, but if some people want to look it up to see it, the movie is called "Samurai 1" (spelled "Samurai I) not "Saumrai, i" 😅
Nice touch on making Maseux sound like he's underwater
7:14 THAT scene when Godzilla stares into your soul terrified me as a kid.
It's wild going back to the original film and being reminded exactly how dark and depressing it really was, before the series immediately jumped to "big monsters fighting each other" and getting increasingly campy. But the beauty of Godzilla is, both work.
I'm awaiting the genre shifted sequel to Godzilla Minus One, Godzilla Plus One, a romcom where single dad Godzilla has to (with the encouragement of his son Minilla) work up the courage to ask cute neighbour Mothra to be his date to the wedding of his obnoxious college rival, Ghidorah.
Do the 'British Godzilla' GORGO. It's fun, and he wears a top hat and a monocle*. *not really, but it is fun.
The Three Amigos is the best Seven Samurai inspired movie, I reckon.
An interesting fact about the 1954 Godzilla film is that Godzilla's iconic theme associated with him was originally the JSDF's theme and it wasn't until Terror of Mechagodzilla where they made it Godzilla's main leitmotif.
I would say this: Akira Kurosawa is the Francis Ford Coppola of Japanese Cinema, where he makes incredible dramas.
Ishiro Honda is pretty much Speilberg, Lucas, and Cameron where they do pretty much every thing, with very ambious techniques.
I was a mascot at Six Flags as a teenager and fainting as a mascot from heat exhaustion is way too common
Little known fact about this first Godzilla; not many people can tell because it was filmed in black and white, but the sets were all blue, which led to this movie's working title: "Blue Harvest".
I've got this movie on DVD somewhere. It was a free gift with a Weekend Newspaper back when the US version "Godzilla 1998" was released.
For anyone wondering, but not wanting to Google it: October 27th was the premiere, November 3rd was the wide release in Japan.
This original Godzilla movie was a huge piece of my childhood. My mom bought me the VHS when I was young and I watched it so much. She then continued to get me as many Godzilla movies as she could. It was always fun to watch as many as I could.
The visual of the guy in the suit fainting but the suit staying upright because its so heavy is hilarious lmao
I love how these release right on my day off, feels like something other than the weekend to work towards lmao
I like how Mason's character in the weekly planet has the infinity gauntlet but still threatens Godzilla with the oxygen destroyer
Yall should throw a curveball and do snake eyes instead next week
you guys are blessed to have amazing editors
We need a full Maso cover of the Godzilla theme.
As a longtime fan of you guys, "Something something the matrix" sums up this series perfectly.
There's a mistake at 13:05 it's actually 38 feature films with godzilla, there's technicality with the monster verse with kong skull island but godzilla is mentioned in the post credits
Omg its the beginning of the Godzilla era. Im so hyoed
Nope, this definitely isn't the oldest film you've done on Caravan of Garbage. That would be Mason's favourite movie of all time, DUMBO (1941). At least until KING KONG comes around next week.
Apparent James knows, he mentioned it in the live chat when this premiered.
I hope this means you will eventually get to the original king kong vs godzilla
Godzilla’s atomic breath has actually gone through a number of changes visually over the years. Some more aerosol, some more red and fiery, to the modern ones that have gone from neon blue to the vibrant pink. However, there’s always been one color that’s been sadly absent, and in honor of that color, “Trivia 1954” is also known as “Green Trivia”
Something Something blue neon breath originally titled blue harvest
I really enjoyed how Godzilla vs Kong was basically everything Batman V Superman should have been. And this is entirely my opinion and definitely not influenced by any editor of any sort.
Fun fact: Godzilla’s skin was originally made to look gray, burnt and charcoal-y as an allegory for the effects of radiation burns caused by the atomic bombs. But with time, pop culture would start associating a green skin color to Godzilla as opposed to gray or black, most probably influenced by early international Godzilla poster art and the Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Curiously, the color green was also used in the name of the segment Green Trivia, a now defunct section in the TH-cam series Caravan of Garbage.
Earned a like for James telling Maso to shut up within the first 10 seconds of the video
10:42 sounds like Yoda from Bad Lip Reading
As the guys explained in the video, Toho studios struggled to source material to build the original Godzilla costume. The fabric suit coated in concrete is the stuff of legends. However, what James and Maso didn't tell you is that the Toho team also made an animatronic costume whose plastic skin was synthesised from Gloiocladia laciniata seaweed - hence the movie's working title, "Ao
Shūkaku."
There was apparently a deleted scene after the use of the oxygen destroyer where they showed fishermen scooping up the dead fish from the oceans surface, leading to the working title of this movie being Blue Harvest
You should look at "A Trip to the Moon" so that it becomes impossible to review older material after that.
Now you guys have to watch some "Gamera", the other big rubber monster franchise from Japan. He's a giant turtle that has rocket boosters that come out of his leg holes.
The OG Godzilla movie from 1954 was my fav Godzilla movie since I was a kid in my late 20s now and was in my top 3 fav movies of all time but Godzilla minus one beat it out
I appreciate the accurate size of the VHS TV recorder in the visuals
My only (slight) criticism of this is that Godzilla’s head looks vaguely like a terrier in some shots.
The godzilla tune you guys sang was making me laugh like a madman in traffic tonight, love it, more please
What a lovely surprise edit also love that your uploads hit the east coast US first thing in the morning, always dgiving me something to listen to as i get together the morning coffee and post coffee poo
One of my all time favourites. A true classic.
That James bond edit is laugh out loud funny
Tying the original Godzilla movie to James Bond’s balls is crazy
I hope James watches Shin Godzilla someday. But I hope James does voice over for Shin Godzilla
I think he did! I remember their them reviewing Minus One and mentioning that it was different from Shin Godzilla. They mentioned the long, boardroom sequences and the themes of governmental gridlock, so he must have seen it. Or maybe he just read the summary on IMDB.
Gojira is a phenomenal film
I love when you do old movies, please more old movies. Journey to the Center of the Earth has some pretty big old creatures that are just lizards with stuff glued to them
Thank you for always managing to keep these interesting!
So your movie dating method is PM and AM? Pre Matrix vs After Matrix?
Can't believe they missed A Bug's Life when referencing Seven Samurai 😂
While the movie is a bit anticlimactic, it's still great. We even had a man sacrifice himself when he didn't even really need to, but for the safety of the world, he did it anyway, so I guess you could try doing that with Godzilla flailing about, but you didn't need to. But I'm so happy to hear your thoughts on King Kong because I also love that movie, too. More old monster movies! Let's even do The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, it's another fun monster movie. Metaphors be damned, understand them or don't, monster movies really show the evolution of cinema and the way stories are told.
Didn't he want to destroy the oxygen destroyer before man abused that aswell? And he made it right?
@@saintniccage2818 Yes, Dr. Serizawa created the Oxygen destroyer, and destroyed all data and evidence of it before then using the device and dying by its power. He did so to ensure that nobody else would ever make such a device because of how destructive it was, nobody would be able to torture him for the information or to continue the work, nor would he ever be tempted to continue working on it himself for the pursuit or knowledge out of scientific interest. He felt it was too much power for even his own self-restraint to overcome.
You guys should totally do more Godzilla. Godzilla: final wars. Godzilla against mechagodzilla, Godzilla Tokyo SOS. Are the ones I have seen. And they were all quite fun. Mothra is so weak, who likes mothra
This was great! So glad you did this
This video really cheered me up, currently in the hospital due to a blood clot in the heart so having some comedic distraction from me 5th favourite duo of Australians was great!
Editors went NUTS on this one. Kudos.
Them imitating the Godzilla‘s theme sounds like Adam Sandler to me for some reason lol
You guys missed a major opportunity to do a blue harvest joke with Akira Kurosawa
Its funny they joke about today (March 21st 2024) being the anniversary because it is actually the 50th anniversary of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, one of the best since this original.
Thank you for being complimentary to one of my favourite films. I hope the trend continues with Kong, or I will be nonplussed and perhaps even peevish.
Do a video on Godzilla Minus One!!!!!!
Wow no REBEL MOON shoutout in the 7 samurai block? embarrassing.
Can you guys do a video like “Draw My Life” or something to explain how you and Mason became met and became friends, your love for comics, movies and tv shows, what you two were doing before TH-cam or started doing TH-cam. I remember a video that James said his brother hates Mason, lol but why??? What did Mason do? I am genuinely curious! (Comment from California, USA)
First time in history S Club 7 and Godzilla have been mentioned in the same video without a doubt.
King Kong Escape is a super cite movie!
Oh my God(Zilla) yes. I seen this film for the first time this year since I just got (not official) set of all the godzilla films and I plan on watching them all this year and now you boys are gonna talk about the og. Let's Go!
I dont like lasers, they scare me.
I’ve got fingers crossed for the original King King Vs. Godzilla after next week
“You didn’t think it was about anything but it’s a metaphor” where would Mason be if James wasn’t there to explain to him what the story was
Would love to see you guys do Shin Godzilla
Samurai I (eye), lol. It's a roman numeral, guys.
1933 Kong is my fav movie… LET’S GO!!!
Was actually listening to the godzilla theme when I saw this was posted, so I can say Mason got it exactly right and should be the new composer
Something something, blue atomic breath, something something which led to the working title of this movie being Blue Harvest, which is coincidentally the working title for the original Star Wars movie.
Where was the Moneyball "it's a metaphor" clip!!
I think the most important part of OG Godzilla (and Shin Godzilla) is that Japan had just been fucked by nuclear forces (2 nukes and later nuclear power plant after a tsunami), so a nuclear creature comes forth as a force of nature.
Shin Godzilla is so fun because it's more about how bureaucracy is almost the real tragedy.
First time I've seen something from you guys, but that was a nice review/exploration of the movie. Hoping you'll do Shin Godzilla (especially this one) and Godzilla Minus One
The firing missiles part is much funnier when you consider theyre just shooting actual fire works at a man in a dinosaur costume.
If you're going for classic monster movies please consider Pulgasari. You have trivia for days there 🤓
Hell yea, an S Club 7 reference. Mason came to play!
There's a missed opportunity for a joke at 2:53.
(add the Godzilla roar in your mind).
Hey I know that guy at 7:46! That’s DarrienDane!
I could have sworn on my life, that the Godzila suit fact was going to become a Blue Harvest joke.
38 films, not 68 lol. You added an additional 30 films
I’ve been waiting forever
This film is an absolute classic the American version is just kind of weird though.
Last thing I expected to see in this video was the music video for The Reason by Hoobastank
As a diehard Godzilla fan, I feel like serious Godzilla and silly Godzilla is like a "two cakes" situation. Like, por que no los dos? But at the end of the day I prefer serious Godzilla, even if I could indulge in silly rubber suit monster fights all day
