re: the original, Kiing of Monsters, I had never seen the movie other than on televison, chopped up by commercials, watching it straight through was a great treat!
It's so campy and over the top without any attempt to do so, it really kills. The acting is so bad they have most of the japanese actors with their back to the camera when speaking their lines. Mason's character goes on the helicopter fight to the remote island to interview the tribal people and he's wearing a suit and tie! hahaha, classic 50s style.
I also couldn't help but make the connection between Godzilla and the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. There's so much fire too, Godzilla breathing fire down on Tokyo.
