Godzilla wasn't the only daikaiju to go stomping through Asia! From Rodan and Mothra to Yongarry and Gappa, discuss other JAPANESE/ASIAN kaiju films here!

EDIT: Okay, so people don't approve of what I originally posted. Therefore, I would like to present some of the wit and wisdom (and weirdness) of Gamera 3's Kurata Shinya:

"This girl from Nara and the one who communicated with Gamera have a lot in common. And if she's somehow connected with a Gyaos-like organism... what does that mean? Wouldn't you like to know?"

Kurata: "Imagine the Gyaos as a natural enemy of mankind, reducing its swollen numbers, a reset button for a decadent civilisation."
Nagamine: "Who'd think that?"
Kurata: "One who thought like me."
Nagamine: "Then imagine Gamera born to smash that kind of arrogance!"
Kurata: "You have a point."
Asagi: "What do you think of Gamera?"
Kurata: "He's a vessel. The grave they found under the sea, you've heard about it?" It's a dump for the vessels that didn't become Gamera. The ancients created beta versions and summoned Mana to them, giving rise to Gamera. So Gamera heeds the Earth Spirit more than humanity. But you know that better than I do."
Asagi: "I think Gamera has severed his connection with us."
Kurata: "Yes, when the curved jewels were broken. But I think Gamera is still connected with humanity. After all, who brought him to Sendai? That's his weakness."

Kurata: "Humanity is plodding on towards its own extinction. Even without the Gyaos. But there could be a worse future for the Earth than our own extinction. My idea, and the idea of whatever spawned the Gyaos, is that a monster could lower the curtain before that future comes. So if Gamera tries to stop it, it'll smash him even if he is an Earth Spirit."
Asagi: "The Gyaos can't lower any curtain."
Kurata: "Not the Gyaos, a new creature. One already in place, or one that can evolve itself. A creature that can, just as Gamera once did, join with a human being to make itself stronger. One that can fuse with this girl to overcome Gamera. A cute little thing like this is harbouring a demon! Gamera can't win."

"The children of Gyaos were destroyed, but their descendants are here. Surviving through the ages, as a former shrine priestess should know. It was your task to mediate with monsters. But the blood of your house has grown thin. It is a child of the time who must join with the demon!"

[As Asakura gets killed in the Gamera/Irys battle]
"And that, Ms. Asakura, is death."

[Just before he gets crushed by debris from Kyoto Station's roof]
"Oh boy, is this scary! Yes!"

Okay, I get the message. :?

From the International Dub of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah:

Miki: "My God, are we just going to die here?"
Emmi: "There's nothing for you to worry about, these bombs can't hurt our ship!"

Wilson: "This new Godzilla is unfriendly, and he's going to destroy your country! There's nothing you can do about it!"

"The stick up his butt must have a stick up ITS butt."
-Superintendent Chalmers, "The Simpsons."

Would I rather have had Kaneko commentary than Lake Texarkana Gamera? Hell yes! Did I laugh at it anyway? Hell yes! It's a monster movie, not a family member. You might as well get upset at the many Star Wars spoofs out there, despite the fact that they were done for love of Star Wars, not a desire to "bring it down."

ah yes, but you'll notice none of the parodies were on the SW discs themselves. and many of them are usually funny for about 3 minutes before becoming tedious. Texarkana Gamera can't even make 3 minutes of humor. it's the whole "rubber suited monsters are easy targets". perhaps if it was actually funny, like WHAT'S UP TIGER LILY is funny, it would be easier to take.

From the international dub of Destroy All Monsters:
"Open all rockets! Open 'em all the way!" - Yamabe

A quick one from Gamera 2: Advent of Legion:
"10,000 cases? What a waste of good beer." - Honami

And finally, from the dub of Rebirth of Mothra:
"MOTHRAAAAAAAA!!!" - Lora
"Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden. Except for cheap tricks."

I can't quite remember it exactly but:

"We'll escape into the future, to that demension which we have never seen. All of you join me... in... ESCAPE!" - The Controller of Planet X in Monster Zero.

"Kongs mine now"-Doctor Who (not "The Doctor") in King Kong Escapes

"Destroy them utterly!" - Alien leader in Terror of Mechagodzilla.


Hmmmm... all of mine are on the serious side. All the funny ones I remember have already been taken!

Oh wait, this sorta counts, every time I see the international version of DAM and that alien controlled lady says;
"Especially the newspaper people"
I finish it off (as one of the people beside her):
"Uh, we like to call them the media"

One of my favorites:

"You rats! YOU STINKING RATS, WHAT'D YOU DO TO HER?!"

Man, the only other person I'd want playing Glenn would be...STEVE MCQUEEN!

Anyway, I probably would have screamed some expletives and wound blasted up too. :D
