Godzilla movies are a staple of international cinema. While not all of them are good, most of them are famous for the right reasons. Part of their appeal has been in the promotion. Trailers, posters and teaser work have done this series wonders. Case in point, one of the lowest points of the series is made greater with a poster...
You really want to see that, don't you? Well, don't. This scene never happens and never could happen. At least they didn't make the title up into something completely different...
Why have I never heard of this movie? Because it's a complete lie of a title. He spends less than a minute on the damn island! The Atkins Diet has worked well for Godzilla though. Oh, well. This poster is still better than actually watching Godzilla vs. Megalon.*
Up next, a case of foreign posters making something seem much more interesting. Stay tuned...
Yeah, if memory serves me right I believe that Godzilla Vs. Megalon poster was done to cash in on the 70's King Kong remake, the poster of which, had him on the World Trade Center as well.
ReplyDeleteThats impossibly awesome, I need to photoshop myself in place of Megalon to make this the single greatest poster ever created
ReplyDeleteI did not know about the 'King Kong' connection, but that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteOh and to make this the best poster ever, you need to re-insert Spider-Man from the original poster art for the film. Someone with skill get right on that.
