[edit] Most frequent monster co-star appearences

Updated the numbers of appearances (namely, added Minilla to the list), will do the rest later.FreakyFrogThing 05:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Filmography

The "alternate Japanese titles" listing is a complete waste of space. As we all know, the Japanese titles can be translated in many different ways, are there is no true standard. Thusly, even mentioning the translations of the Japanese titles should be left to the pages which describe the actual films. ~ Teh Xilian 00:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Start

The intentions of this page is to be a hub for all the film articles and to cut down on the content in the Godzilla article. The original Godzilla article will now focus on Godzilla the character and this article with then pick up the slack in regards of cultural content and the like.

This page still needs heavy editing but this is a start. --DyslexicDan 00:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Making this part of WikiProject Films

I believe this should be part of WikiProject Films instead of the Godzilla page but I’m not sure how to go about this --DyslexicDan 00:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

They are both a part WP:FILMS. Cbrown1023 16:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Monsters' Solo Movies

Under the heading "Shōwa Godzilla Series (昭和ゴジラシリーズ) 1954–1975":

"The Showa period saw the addition of many monsters into the Godzilla continuity, many of which (Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah had their own solo movies. "

I think this sentence implies that Ghidorah starred in a movie as the sole Kaiju, which is not true. If the following sentence is meant to clarify the above statement, I think it's a little murky. I'll just edit the first sentence, since I'm unclear of the 2nd's intent. The Shrike 16:58, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I gave up and deleted both sentences. As I tried to reword them I realized I was unclear of either sentences intent, as the information seemed slightly irrelevant. The Shrike 17:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Godzilla Final Box

In the 20th issueof gmr on page 28, there is a small artical about a relise of 27 Godzilla movies (Godzilla - Tokyo S.O.S) and that it includes a slot for Final Wars. It says it was released in Japan on April 22, 2005 for 99, 750 yen ($922). Should any of this be mentioned in the artilce?--LRO 20:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)Liraoq 05:57, 22 July 2006

[edit] Name Origin

Tried to clean up the origin on the name Gojira, and at least make it mesh with the Godzilla Character page!

[edit] 2008 Godzilla Film

That's a load of hooey. I'll delete it later because no such project exists. --74.134.250.241 00:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Godzilla 3-d to the MAX? yeah it does idiot —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.51.60 (talk) 01:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that section has been deleted, which means the project is now dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.206.69.158 (talk) 07:49, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms

There needs to be a mention of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. This movie predated godzilla by two years and was a prehistoric dinosaur that wakes up after nuclear testing and goes on to attack a city. 75.199.211.209 (talk) 00:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC)tlhowell1970@gmail.com

the best from 20,000 fathoms is the thing that inspired godzilla it should be meanchoned but not like that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.62.88 (talk) 21:38, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Godzilla film chart

Is this chart (user space inclusion) accurate? Did I miss anything? Hopefully it is useful to you. I am interested in it since it is a very complex film series. - LA @ 02:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)

The above is an attempt to illustrate the interconnectedness of these series. All of these series are listed on the various film series lists, but I am not sure if they are really split like this. The same films are being listed over and over again which tells me that some of these may be fan based splits.

Note: From the article on Godzilla, it seems to that the 1998 film and Godzilla 3D to the MAX are not part of any of these series. Is this correct?

I'm rather mystified at the purpose of the columns. I'd say that it's too confusing in its current state. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 08:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
