This is why you should never forget your ACME rope launcher when going out for a picnic.

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Sure pull him from the raging water into the flying boulders

#monsterdon

Just guys bein dudes, having a picnic near a monster filled lake. What's better than this!

#Monsterdon

If you lived in a world where every nuclear test resulted in pissed off kaiju, would you continue nuclear testing? If so, why? Discuss.

#monsterdon

Critical Safety tip: Never picnic without your grappling hook. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

For the love of Godzilla why? Why this? #Monsterdon

props for the miniature lake, that's pretty nice, particularly on this budget

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

And we open with a ✅ Child in Danger! #Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

Excellent shaking and rolling around on the ground. 10/10 could make it look real on the Enterprise.
#Monsterdon
#godzillavsmegalon

“life-rope gun”? The 70s were wild. #monsterdon

That does not look like a hi-performance boat

#monsterdon

ok this boat is even better than the banana submarine from Tentacles!

#monsterdon

Tonight on #Monsterdon it's a classic Kaiju Smackdown and it begins, despite the pyrotechnics, with probably the saddest nuclear explosion ever.

Follow or filter the hashtag as you would!

Surely one of these credits says "team responsible for blowing a lot of shit up" #monsterdon

Dad & Dad taking the kid out for a paddle

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
We're giving this thing a go.
Was already doing a Kaiju marathon for Halloween, fits in perfectly.
This is the most #mastodon thing I know. Glad to give it a go with Godzilla.

Music is a bit odd

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I NEED the fishy paddle boat!

Note to self: learn katakana better

#Monsterdon

Wait, the second underground nuclear test in this timeline took place in... 1971? (Also, I don't think nuclear tests look that kerosene-y)

#monsterdon

The child is monster bait, this is not right

#monsterdon

You might think Godzilla is throwing his hands in the air like he just don't care, but he does care. Too much, maybe. #monsterdon

How many explosions was that before the title? One big one, maybe? #monsterdon

Very nuclear

#monsterdon

Godzilla just standing there yelling at the earthquake like that helps #Monsterdon

It's Japanese food for #Monsterdon

Definitely because I remembered what the movie was going to be and NOT because I was just making kakuni anyway

godzilla looks right at the camera and waves. he knows what he's about. #monsterdon

Godzilla is so cute how do I adopt one?

#monsterdon

Run away, Angi! Run! #Monsterdon

I love how this movie just goes right in there with the massive explosions

#monsterdon

The big G exactly how I am in the morning

#monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!

we have TOHO sign! #monsterdon

@trixter One of the ones I want to recommend watching is probably on archive. But it is also hard to look up since the title is just
It!
It! 1967 is hard to google. It is on daily motion atleast.
#monsterdon

@paco I don't even think it was really Tokyo, at least that wasn't the place being menaced, just some rural infrastructure and a deserted wasteland. That's why the military just shrugged and went away. The Seatopians couldn't have chosen a more innocuous target #monsterdon

@cargot_robbie the movie is also light on plot. i guess it's the power of Jet Jaguar's newfound free will #Monsterdon

A little funny how all bad guys where all European, western like people...
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I downloaded the original Japanese audio and had it on in the background, so I'm a bit light on plot. Do we know why the robot can be a Kaiju and also human sized?

Well, that sure was a movie! A #Monsterdon movie! :godzilla:

Thank you to @Taweret for organizing these, and all other contributes and participants! 😁

This was a blast. A real classic. Thanks, @Taweret! #Monsterdon

@Infoseepage Best to check whether they're available for streaming/download at no cost to reach the biggest audience #monsterdon

@Infoseepage I sense that "the European" was to blame for that bit of set decoration #monsterdon

@moira I voted for Mysterious Island which didn't have quite enough oomph to make it #monsterdon

@RufusJCooter @Taweret That was explicitly stated! Right after the dance scene.

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

@blogdiva I have thought about it and it seems that a fart would push Godzilla in exactly the wrong way. But now he's gone so science will just have to accept it as a mystery #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe The Lucha Libre vibes were strong #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Yeah I dunno, in some of these flicks Godzilla's just kind of Kaiju Ryu, traveling the world and brawling with anything that looks strong. I keep expecting to see a second giant nuclear lizard, but blonde and wearing a red suit. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I didn't see that he got anything out of it, unless he likes working on his kung fu moves every few years #monsterdon

@ShiitakeToast Tale as old as time #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

@Infoseepage What, you didn't enjoy Twins of Evil? #monsterdon

@Infoseepage honest answer is just depends upon what people vote for

it's always a mix in the poll

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Anyone manage to catch a GIF of Godzilla's iconic tail surf attacks? Thanks in advance #monsterdon

@JoeWynne @Taweret @cheribaker ooh yeah there is a sale, I gotta get hooked up

#Monsterdon

@ranjit @Louisa Maybe all the women on the surface moved down there to take up dancing #monsterdon

This is just pure movie magic!
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon well that was a lot of confusing spycraft followed by a mercifully fun kaiju fight and it was great :D

thanks everyone for joining us and especially to our host @Taweret for the good times

They should remake this film with Ryan Gosling as Jet Jaguar, I bet it'd be great #monsterdon

I love how they capped all that with a “we’d better warn the scientists”.

#GodzillaVsMegalon #monsterdon

"Once you go jira you'll always be queerer"

-- Jet Jaguar, apparently

#Monsterdon

@PacificNic Fortunately "smart" and #Monsterdon do not pair together particularly well

(to be clear this is meant to be a self-deprecating joke about how silly the films often are, not an insult)

I was going to say something snarky about the movie but then that song.

That… GLORIOUS song!

#Monsterdon

There comes a time in every family's life when the two dads and their small child have to say goodbye to their autonomous weapon robot son after an epic battle with the monsters of Monster Island. #monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for hosting #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero make like a tree and leaf? #WrongMovie #Monsterdon

Punch, punch, punch! Meanwhile Godzilla fucks off at least towards the sea #Monsterdon

That was more coherent than most #Monsterdon flicks. Godzilla is cool! Who knew? 😂
Thank you @Taweret for hosting! It's always a blast!

I wasn't following the whole story line there, did Jaguar get his ass beat trying to fly solo and decided he better follow orders instead?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

The handshake was Godzilla's signal that it was time to eff off into the sea. He's not into commitment #monsterdon

But they didn't. It was store brand. And Jet Jaguar knew it. So he left. #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon

Godzilla never disappoints, a fine #Monsterdon it was. Masers! Tanks! Melting tanks! Pro wrestling!

Have a nice week y'all

So lemmie think.

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Jet Jaguar! Come home with us! We've got Kraft Macaroni And Cheese! #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon

I just noticed the kid is wearing a sweatshirt with Snoopy from Peanuts on it. 😂

#Monsterdon

OK everyone - thanks so much for a craaaaaaayze #monsterdon !

Be sure to vote when @Taweret 's poll shows up tomorrow!

❤️

What a stinker! Nice job, #monsterdon

good thing their son likes the dog they <strike>invented</strike> brought home. #monsterdon

Ok, but for real, what's the AI robot giant's energy source? #monsterdon

And Godzilla fucks off into the fucking off place. I got nothing. #Monsterdon

Punch, punch, punch ♪ #Monsterdon

Wish the subtitles had the translated song!

#monsterdon
#GodzillaVsMegalon

Oh, it's done. Huh. #Monsterdon

Time to once again freak it sensitive style #monsterdon

And that's it for Basically Nothing Happens!

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

#monsterdon Some of Jet Jaguar's earlier work:

And so ends another #Monsterdon. As always, our thanks to all the posters and lurkers, and most of all, to @Taweret for hosting. And remember #Monsterdoners: Punch! Punch! Punch!

Jet Jaguar looks a little sad, don’t you think? He’s sad that Godzilla left him alone. #Monsterdon

They just... stopped subtitling the movie for the last 5 minutes #monsterdon

I want Leonard Nimoy singing the Jet Jaguar song!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH!! #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Why doesn't Godzilla get subtitles?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

#monsterdon That's it? That the entire movie? That's all?

Yet, no one repaired his terminal wedgie.

#monsterdon

punch. punch. punch.
#monsterdon

my movie gave up on the subtitles #Monsterdon

Godzilla and Jet Jaguar setting up a coffee date for later. #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon

HOLY SHIT HE HAS A THEME SONG #monsterdon

"...with this movie concluded, we've all reverted into mindless robots"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

jet jaguar learned the zip and unzip algorithm
