GODZILLA Trailer With Footage From GOJIRA (1954)
Fans of the Japanese original should get a kick out of this. The audio from the latest trailer for Gareth Edwards' Godzilla reboot has been added to footage of the 1954 kaiju classic. Revisit the king of the monsters back when he was a guy in a rubber suit after the jump.
Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira?) is a 1954 Japanese science fiction kaiju film produced by Toho, directed by Ishirō Honda, and featuring special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. The film stars Akira Takarada, Momoko Kōchi, Akihiko Hirata, and Takashi Shimura. The plot tells the story of Godzilla, a giant monster mutated by nuclear radiation, who ravages Japan and brings back the horrors of World War II's nuclear devastation to the very nation that experienced it first-hand. It was the first of many kaiju films released in Japan, paving the way and setting the standard for future kaiju films, many of which feature Godzilla.
