Stock Footage Hell: Godzilla's Revenge

While the Godzilla franchise was continuing to thrive, it started to get a little lazy.  This became apparent with the series' most kid-friendly film- Godzilla's Revenge.

The film features a silly and awkward plot about a kid being tormented by bullies who gets transported to Monster Island and meets Godzilla's son.  It talks in English too.  I don't care- just go with it.  In something unrelated...

To pad out the film, the producers stuck in footage of Godzilla battling monsters from earlier films, including Son of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster.  Hell, they even put the stock footage monsters on the poster.  See for yourself...


Next up, Ed Wood uses Stock Footage, but not in the way you are usually familiar with.  I smell some old-timey racism.  Stay tuned...
