[The Joker]

Hmm ... Disappointed as in just flat out disappointed?

Uh-huh plus i had a dream similar like the offical teaser trailer a few months ago...guess i foresaw the future.

Oh & before we discuss further about my dream i had joker my showa era friend did you know that toho is doing an offical sequel to godzilla vs hedorah in japan?Except godzilla isn't gonna be in it.

[The Joker]

You know, I had read that somewhere, but the posters over at TohoKingdom forums seem to be very skeptical about that film ever happening. The consensus seems to be that it's just going to be alot of talk. Much like that Godzilla 3D project from some years back that had the director of Hedorah attached.

Guess we'll see.

Oh, and about your dream, that's funny. You'll have to let me know if you have any of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Especially if it's months prior to a officially released trailer.

Sorry bud but i can only dream about something i really like & want to see real badly.
But anyways if toho comfirms the film are you gonna see it even though godzilla isn't gonna be in it?

[The Joker]

Well, jeez pal. That really limits asking you anything. 

With Hedorah? Sure I'll check it out. Should be kinda interesting to see that multi-formed pile of pollution in a solo movie .... However, will there be psychedelic club scenes with fish head people dancing the night away??

*Sighs*
man i just got back from reading peoples reactions/comment about the godzilla trailer & it just shows how little respect they have for our favorite fire breathing dinosaur...they even called him a f*@cking lizard

Now in all seriousness...i hope they'll re-create this awesome scene in the godzilla 2014 sequels somewhere

As silly as Godzilla vs Megalon is, it's one of the films in the series that has the distinction of being one of the most watched Godzilla movies in the states. Thanks in large part to the advertising campaign that was put in motion during the late 1970's, which featured stuff like "Godzilla for President", John Belushi, in a Godzilla costume, hosting a prime time NBC airing of the film, and posters featuring Godzilla and Megalon battling on top of the World Trade Center (something that's not in the movie, but more of a throw back to the 1976 Dino De Laurentiis King Kong remake).

However, Megalon also has the distinction within the fan base of being one of the lesser Godzilla films during the Showa era as well. As budgets and such was becoming less and less at this point in the franchise. Not surprisingly, it's also one of the Godzilla films that has been featured on MST3000 as well. But having said that, I think there's a good deal of nostalgia that goes along with Megalon as well. Being that it was, by far, one of the most available films in the series during the days of VHS. Plus, you know, Jet Jaguar is awesome.
