WELP, Megalon just imparted several tons of force to that crate. Everyone inside is pudding. Fun movie, guys, everyone can go home. #Monsterdon
Indiana Jones in a refrigerator was an homage to the two people in the shipping container.
#monsterdon
Yeah that container thing looked survivable.
aaand dead.
#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon
And here I was expecting Megalon to overtop the dam.
Megalon with the volleyball dig on the shipping container!
I really love miniatures shots involving water, it *almost* works but the fluid dynamics gives it away.
FINALLY, Monster mayhem bout to happen.
#Monsterdon
#godzillavsmegalon
#Monsterdon Megalon is just phoning it in. Has he found out he's only getting scale?
![[empty]](/media/avatars/287224a269fbaefbc7e94920b207f9dca8b6e0415d818373c9f1528359b6a0e8.jpg){kind=small}
I did not know shipping containers had such shiny polished floors
#monsterdon
Megalon is surprisingly agile for his size
"Where's the european gone?"
"We threw him out of the truck!"
Because he tried to kill you?
Yeah, that too. #Monsterdon
That's seems to be an awfully long way to drive to do illegal dumping
I can't believe the truckers still dump the package. Why are they still working for that guy they threw down a hill? Why aren't they curious what's in the box their criminal employer wanted disposed of? #Monsterdon
God *damn* that Japanese work ethic #Monsterdon
WE HAVE STOCK FOOTAGE! #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon
That mazer is such a great model. So great they used it in Ghidorah AND this film. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon
...Wait so they're still dumping the crate!? Guys your employer tried to kill you! Take the afternoon off! #Monsterdon
OMG! OMG! Masers!!! #Monsterdon
@ColesStreetPothole There was a kid in an epic fish boat at the beginning - check the feed for screenshots
Also some stuff may have happened, there was a robot, it's not important
This film really lacks in its application of cartoon bonk sounds when someone is hit in the head.
Lmao they threw him down a hill!! Fuck yeah
At this point the military's gotta have a specific code for Kidnapped Scientist Awakens Ancient Civilization Bent On Conquest #Monsterdon
Plastic army is on the move! #monsterdon
itβs cool to watch some of these 70s godzillas again and realize that adhd is not the reason i had no idea what was happening in these movies when i watched them as a kid
#Monsterdon
Love how there are "New Kaiju Spotted" alerts, like tornado warnings, or flash flood advisories, on the radio
And to think some folks wanted to do away w/ AM radio!
you know the director's made some choices when you get back to the kaiju and go "oh good, the movie's getting serious again."
#Monsterdon *Megalon lands* Ok, let's get on with this. I want to get back to my million year nap.
suddenly, KAIJU! #monsterdon
Best chase scene in any Godzilla movie bar none #monsterdon
Motorcycle guy just fell over for no reason. #Monsterdon
"...use the Benny Hill music. It'll make everything seem faster!"
I want a teeny yellow car. I wouldn't even drive it down staircases. #Monsterdon
I love how each monster has it's own war dance
He knows our secret βbecause I told him. #Monsterdon
He knows the whole story of our mission here. I don't know how that happened. He just knew! I guess someone would have to have told him. Or sometimes you know you just hear things and you remember them and you don't know why you remember them so it's basically like remembering something for no reason. It's probably that. Not because I told him. #monsterdon
"Our prisoner has escaped, he's also aware of the whole story of our mission."
If only it was possible to take someone hostage without telling him all your secrets. #Monsterdon
"I guess I'm chasing him?" "Oh, no, he's chasing me."
Yes, a Japanse VW!
WE HAVE ANOTHER TINY CAR, I REPEAT, WE HAVE ANOTHER TINY CAR
This actor gives me Alan Rickman vibes. (Think Snape or Hans Gruber from "Die Hard") #monsterdon
@Lazarou βA simple matter of softwareβ, no doubt #monsterdon
Where are all these cool car designs now? Less Cybertruck, more whatever that yellow convertible is.
I actually, unironically, love mediocre fistfighting with lots of shaky cam and sound effects to make it more exciting
i wonder what the kaiju are up to
With a powerful comeback of "you're too dumb!"
Wow that head-banging is violent
@jmelesky it's a hard technology curve #monsterdon
Emerge! From the Crack of the Lake Bed #monsterdon
Well now I can't stop looking at the flashing Crotch Indicator.
"If you're so clever why steal a robot?" Take that smug bastard. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon
You can tell this is old because the kidnapping shipping container is an actual 20 footer, not the fancy 40 footers we have today
Jet Jaguar has such an awful face #Monsterdon
This kid is really the hero of the film. #Monsterdon
why is oscar wilde here tho?
they're dropping a kid and his older brother in the ocean for like $1000k??? damn, that's some cheap stooging right there. #monsterdon
@gnomon He knows these things from living in a geology lab #monsterdon
so megalon appears to be an electric/bug type. that does put godzilla as a dragon/water type at a disadvantage but jet jaguar is a steel/electric typs so...
@sean I'm convinced he was made as some kind of sex robot.
I like Jet Jaguar's theme song. #Monsterdon
Right, back to the robot antics. I love the trope of βOh, it took us years to make a robot that walks by itself without falling over, but now it should only take a few hours to make it fly, tooβ. #monsterdon
And Jet Jag-u-ar fucks off into the sky.
Mega mega Meglon! Um wake up. Dude. It's after noon. You gotta get outta bed honey. It's time to rise up and destroy our enemies.
#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon
"We're in some sort of metal box!"
My god, those bastards mean to turn a handle and force us to spring out of the hatch! #Monsterdon
Why are his ears spatulas, tho'?
y'all are cracking me up. i am cackling so much rn π€£ π€£ π€£ #monsterdon
Whenever one of the kaiju wake up the first thing they want to do is dance
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOLEY ON HIS HEAD HITTING THE GROUND. WHAT. IT SOUNDED LIKE A TIN OF COFFEE.
bug/psychic type
#MONSTERDON
That's how bugs fly, right? Straight up without flapping their wings?
#Monsterdon this is the plot of aquaman
Seatopia sounds like an extremely unsuccessful Fruitopia spinoff. #Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon
Do you want giant drill roaches? Because that's how you get giant drill roaches. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon
Seatopia has some fancy duds. #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon
βAfter 3 million years of peace, we have to fight. We donβt want to, but the humans give us no choice, since they built nuclear weapons.β
Maybe you could have spent the last 500,000 years ensuring humans didnβt build nuclear weapons.
This is how I get up in the morning too. #Monsterdon
See what you did?
Seatopia has been pushed too far. #monsterdon
the cone hat dancing is hypnotizing #monsterdon
Megalon GET UP YOU BUM!
#monsterdon White leggings and boots after Labor Day? How gauche.
He's a bit hairy for a sea creature
Declaring war to bring about peace, typical fascist dictator tbh #monsterdon
We have fashion! And interpretive dance!
#Monsterdon
#godzillavsmegalon
If I was tripping on acid, and a gay man, this is the trip Iβd take. #Monsterdon
Looks like a guy who was rejected from 1970s porn tryouts. #monsterdon
#monsterdon
Who is Japanese Jimmy Fallon talking to? Easter Island? Wacky dancers?
What is going on?
This is exactly how I would envision a place called "Seatopia"
"Awaken Megalon" he said to his penis
We pray to you, O Holy Ikea Lamp #Monsterdon
What is with the interior design? Floating boxes, chains, ships wheels as I dunno coat racks, you name it #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon
Aw man, not liturgical dance :/ #Monsterdon
@Infoseepage At least the Jaguar part matches its uncanny catlike grace #monsterdon
Dude WHAT is even going on in this movie it just keeps escalating lmao #monsterdon
I'm assuming these must be non-lethal weapons or this movie just took a WILD twist #monsterdon
Tiny motorcycle, no helmet, no adult supervision - Japan as depicted in 1973 was a running-with-scissors society in many ways.
Oh wow, interpretative dance as well!
#monsterdon was that scene the jenesis of jet jaguar
OH GOD did that kid on the mini bike just get doored by the villains!? He just can't catch a break in this film, damn!
