I love how the American title "Godzilla vs The Thing" made it look like he was gonna fight a hideous monster. But nope, it was a cute giant month.
You mean mothra
The italian posters revealed 'the thing' design tho
I wonder why mothra is cute but a hellish freak to godzilla
The first american godzilla was the 1998 godzilla shaped like t rex
Month or Moth?
Mothra shows up half empty on strength, proceeds to knock and drag Godzilla around. Dodges an attack, bites and scratches him, and then tries to poison him. Then the babies later on toy with him, tie him up, and embarrass him. Mothra really shined in this movie.
The one larvae took a major Godzilla tail beating that she must have died as soon as she and her twin larvae arrived on Mothra Island, so the larvae won but at a cost.
lol
Totally agree!
Monsters Verse nerf her soo much
@@Mi-Jung_Kim-tq2blshe’s not even nerfed. She’s really strong and maybe even able to 1v1 Godzilla
2:19 i love how desperate Godzilla gets the moment Mothra starts dragging him away, i find it funny
No I don't wanna go mommy! 😅
Same
2:24
Mothra: You are going to Brazil.
Godzilla: NOOOOOOOOO
Fuck u bro

0:00-0:03 I love how Godzilla has a sort of perpetual "death glare" in this movie. Like he's constantly looking at the world and saying, "bring it, losers".
That's the "are you really existing in MY movie" face.

He looks like me when I can't find the last Pringle I dropped.
Perhaps he found or he'd been cast to do ultraman. 😃😄 seriously, he's in episode 10.
Yup he is an awesome bad guy
I love how Mothra fights to the bitter end even tho she's frequently outmatched.
She's a Mama through and through
She is not outmatched. She is the only one that has consistently defeated Godzilla.
@carmelopappalardo8477 you do know you were referring the the larva
I hate how you typed tho instead of though as if you don't basically take the same amount of time
@@b1bbscraz3y I hate that you wasted your time and mine letting me know this
@@lukereilly9844 I really didn't even give any information worth anything to someone who isn't retarded
When I was younger I would always try to show my friends these movies, and people treated me like I was weird for liking these old films that don’t even “look real”. I would usually try to explain that they were working with limited technology of the time and that if you look closely you can see some real craftsmanship even if it’s not perfectly replicating reality, but they didn’t care to listen. People don’t want to suspend their disbelief, they want the movie to do all the work for them. I credit these films with encouraging me to use my imagination. Nowadays I’ve given up on trying to sell these films to people who don’t get it. It’s like jazz, if you have to have it explained to you, you’re never going to enjoy it.
No need to explain to a real fan. Love this!
I know the feel, I talk to some friends at school and they say " there dumb, it's fake, and they like godzilla 1998 better and the movie came out at the time. I was 8 years old.
Amen! All the Gojira films are works of timeless and beautiful art!
Very true. Same here I always tried to explain to some of my friends and family but they are not open mind and watch movies. They think it too funny and old movies. At less those people who work their ass off in those classic Godzilla movies than using too much CGI today. Yeah don’t waste your breath to explain to your friends who don’t open mind just keep to yourself and talk with real Godzilla fans.
I know exactly what you mean. My friends have never gotten it either, but luckily I was able to convert one of them!
This is what people from like 40 years ago watched?
Epic
As a child, this fight was always lots of fun
As an adult, I can respect how Tsuburaya and the effects crew managed to make Mothra move authentically even through a camera being shot in slow mo for Godzilla's movements
Easily the best of the post-original Showa era films
A queen never surrenders, she fights and sacrifices herself to the end.
@@boh6475 it took him 37 years though
@@themost8352 no he has done it three times
In godzilla, Mothra, baragon, and king ghidorah giant monsters all out attack, godzilla tokyo sos, and in godzilla vs Mothra (the heisei version) Mothra needed the help of battra to beat godzilla
I felt sad when Mothera Died.
This is one of the best Godzilla movies of all time
Movie name
@@vishnuk7095 Mothra vs Godzilla. The American name is, Godzilla vs the Thing
Very true
This was a fun movie to watch I remember being so excited when the fight started.
This movie was more entertaining to watch than Rise of Skywalker.
That's not saying much.
Rise of Palpatine is garbage
Yeah so stupid funny
At least Rise of Skywalker had awesome scenes like the Force link battle, Palpatine shooting lightning at the sky, etc.
The Last Jedi, however, is overall the worse film. It had nothing that I liked other than that it looks cool.
Honestly i seen movies in 1930's thar Even special effects actually look effort more real then this.
they still efforting hrric do at that, the clesr sign ppl put effort on that making it look athentic spk and crrps as vibe real outstanding as possible till this test of time of from it.
There a centain bump charber of it that at this
That was like, what you want to know expect don that before it had like a type mention Even 1933 special effects actually look effort more hollywood real then this.
It's a ridoculousnweirdss film, your ppl must know films like in 1930 has more realistoc effort effects then this of s mss, there a lot of wrd abd mae no sense plot, don't suspect ppl to of it.
one of the very best from the Showa era. love the music,unmistakable sound, nothing will ever sound better, and Godzilla's eyes. this was his best look until 1991's Godzilla vs King Ghidorah.
The late 50s and early 60s was the golden age for TOHO. It brought some of the best tokusatsu films to ever be made.
This was godzilla before getting help for his drug abuse
One of the best fight scenes in any Godzilla movie considering that it shows Godzilla confronting and fighting Mothra! Add to the fact that this fight scene was in their first movie together makes this fight scene even more iconic and unforgettable!
1:20 I love how Godzilla is so agitated by her wind he blows his heat beam
After the original Gojira, I think this is when the Showa era of Godzilla was at the top of its game.
While I love the entirety of the Showa era, 62-68 was the golden era of Toho Daikaiju cinema. The Mechagodzilla duloagy is also of the same quality in my opinion.
@@ayrahn7893 and from 71-75 those were a bit sadistic, like revealing bloods
I agree.....even after all these years, Mothra vs. Godzilla 64 is the best G-sequel.
I felt Mothra was their best creation. To pit her against there most successful character was a no brainer and still the best Kaiju film ever. Mood, action, drama, weirdness, the best.
@@thomasbeall9069 It's the best G-sequel. For me, the 1954 original is still the best because of its somber, bleak tone.
Watching Mothra fight and ultimately sacrifice herself to save her children actually makes me pretty emotional. She uses her last bit of strength to fly away from Godzilla and die beside her egg. Yeah it’s a puppet moth, but you can’t tell me Tsuburaya doesn’t absolutely nail desperate mother in the way Mothra looks, sounds, and moves. It’s really top tier.
I like how menacing Godzilla looks in the film! The fight was pretty well done for the time too! It's a guy in a rubber suit VS a puppet, and it's impressive, what they were able to pull off!
0:01 me in the middle of the night looking for food
2:42 when your mum catches you raiding the fridge but you refuse to leave it.
me when i got grounded
No matter how unreal they look, there's something really cool about these old movies.
Given how hard Mothra fights in this battle (she is able to blow Godzilla off balance and then drag him several hundred meters/yards from her egg) even though she is dying and knows it shows how powerful and resilient she is. Had she been in her prime, I think she would have won this fight. What do the rest of you think?
Indeed, definitely I believe so, she was basically at almost empty strength wise and she gave a great battle, her wings alone can knock Godzilla, at full strength, yeah, she would have won, she is one of only two monsters in the classic series that Godzilla lost to, the other of course was King Kong, other than those two, Godzilla never lost a fight to a monster in a full on battle to the finish.
Mothra is definitely stronger than Godzilla, she still beat him after all through her spawn!
He got lucky that they fought when she was already past her prime at this point in her life cycle. But even then, idk that Mothra wins through brute strength in the same way Godzilla does.
She's a mother and beats Godzilla how a mother would: by having babies who kick his ass!
Dont care.
@@daladono1145 Understood. Thank you.
R u guys crazy.....NO WAY can mothra beat Gojira
Mothra came in like a boss
But mothra is a female
Blue and Orange Ok I know but when they say “came in like a boss” they are saying they coming in badass
She is godzilla's wife and protector
@@Josearianaok and?
@@Sprunk05 what
Sound Effects guy: How many times do you want Mothra to screech during this fight?
Ishiro Honda: *Yes*
Thank you, TCM, for selecting Godzilla as Monster of the month!!! Thank you for realizing the brilliance of these films, including the wonderful work of Tsuburaya with the effects, Ifukube with the score and of course, Ishiro Honda as the director of many of the great films. I grew up with these wonderful masterpieces and yes, many are indeed masterpieces. These films created their own genre and birthed the true "King of the Monsters" and a pop culture Icon that is as popular today as at anytime in his glorious history! Thanks again...just another reason I love TCM!!! Sincerely, Hugh Phillips.
Am i the one who think that Mothra's special effect's have aged kinda well?
She looks good but I feel the puppet from her debut film looked better overall. I do like the yellowish, almost dirty hue to her that was kind of lost with later incarnations.
Her wings are actually super convincing if you've ever watched a moth
When you think about this it has a hard hitting depth to it
A mother defending her unborn children from a destructive brute
Hits you hard
Practical effects is becoming a dying artform. I just love watching these movies made it the 50s-70s
I agree. If I ever get the chance to work on a _Godzilla_ film, I'm finna stipulate that there needs to be a balance between the practical effects and the CGI.
At 2:01, it's nice to see Godzilla reacting to a big bug the same why I do lol
Also I love that roar 2:54 it's the most pissed-off I've ever heard Godzilla in the entire canon.
bruh the roar is just high pitched 1954
@@Algeriawindows69
The last time.we heard the original roar was in King Kong vs Godzilla when Godzilla was arriving to shore to destroy the army tanks.
Speaking of the original roar, if you listen carefully you can also hear what would later be Varan, Baragon and Gorosaurus roar.
I love the roar as well. Unfortunately the last time that roar was used was in Godzilla vs. Monster Zero.
I saw this in the theater when I was a kid. It never occurred to me to ask how Mothra managed to lay an egg almost as big as she is.
But come to think of it… How DID Mothra manage to lay an egg almost as big as she is?
The egg was probably smaller when she laid it
Ever heard of Kiwis?
Don't let little details like that you're fun.
In Rebirth of Mothra 1,
Heisei parent mothra
in the beginning of the movie shows her scale dusts being released from her abdomen and forming an Egg
Since she's a mystical kaiju it makes sense
But this mothra 1964 is a bit diffrent. she doesn't have her beams and only attacks using her wings and claws
This might be the realistic version of mothra cuz she doesn't have beams in this unlike her other incarnations
ALSO in GKOTM2019 at the credits scene, there's a picture of mothra's egg (she laid her egg somewhere offscreen)
And since both Titanus larva and Titanus mothra are 50 ft tall and the egg is massive, her laying eggs *probably* works like kiwis which is.. kinda disturbing. We didn't see much of her which sucks cuz she's my fav kaiju
@@Lampfinder1619 I saw similar in another show from TV.
I love these Godzilla movies from the past.
Very sad, knowing what comes next, after giving all her strength to push back against a brute. And Ifukube's music sells it.
And this history between them, even if not in the same universe, makes her final action in KOTM all the more poignant.
Nevertheless, she persisted...
Love all Godzilla films..but this one...Godzilla is so freaking awesome serious and deadly..almost like he has no soul but to kill...and the musical score is freaking incredible
People: Godzilla and Mothra are a couple, they're so cute
Godzilla and Mothra:
You liked your own comment
Couple fight 😂😂😆😆😂
xddd :u
“And thats how i met my wife”
I miss the Godzilla films being made this way.
If younger generations kept saying that these old movies are as goofy as Barney the Dinosaur
@@christopherjordan6235 It's rather condescending when you think about it but they kept reusing to look beyond the surface level.
@@rogueagentkillerrodan1498 meh
@@christopherjordan6235 People piss me off.
@rogueagentkillerrodan1498 Just because Godzilla looks different than he is today doesn't mean he should be compared to something unrelated.
I was a fan of Godzilla if it hadn't been for the 1998 movie (I was 4 when I got the VHS) I wouldn't be here.
The memories watching this on TV in the 70's.
In the united states.
Not to lie mothras really cute and fluffy in this one
I love these old godzilla movies, I couldn't wait until Saturday when superhost would come on, he'd play the 3 stooges and then godzilla those were the good old days.
I honestly love watching the Mothra movies primarily to watch/listen to The Peanuts (the fairies). They had unique singing voices! RIP to them both in real life.
Okay but the way they move is the funniest thing I have ever seen

0:01 me in the morning without my coffee and Godzilla going
To me, MosuGoji is the definitive Showa Godzilla incarnation for two reasons. 1: His design is easily the most menacing and probably has the most epic entrances of all, rising from the ground. And 2: Every scene he is in gets to show just how indestructible he really is. I mean they try everything and it doesn’t even phase him.
IDK man, he looks pretty "phased" in this clip lol
@@shotgun6Xthat’s because he is fighting Mothra, another monster captain obvious.
I wish that Godzilla's jaw didn't get damaged shortly after Godzilla's appearance in the movie.
@@3912JamesSame, the suit still looks good in Ghidorah The Three Headed monster, but they ended up scrapping it afterwards when I felt like it had potential to stay as the definitive design
@@FLASKKY_WS
The Godzilla head looked like a cross between the 1964 Godzilla vs. Mothra head and the 1965-1966 Godzilla head (not that I'm complaining of course).
I grew up watching these movies every Saturday. Still my favorites today.
モスラ成虫の使い込んだヨレ感と寿命間近の演出が最高‼️
1:34 mothra you are agresive
1:08 you can hear a showa mix of a 1954 roar
My favorite Godzilla movie...never gets old!!
Godzilla: That egg look delicious 😋 >:)
Mothra: HEY! Thats my egg dont eat it! Ugh get out godzilla!!
So godzilla and mothra are fighting hehe
This is moon landing quality. Still great. I am dying in ANTICIPATION to show this to my kids that love all the new stuff. Ahhh I can't wait!
My man's just trying to get some scrambled eggs going, and this big dumb annoying butterfly keeps messing up breakfast
That egg was hers
One of the very best of the Showa period. CLASSIC!!!👍
2:57 looks like stopmotion
here after watching Godzilla Minus One, Im glad the movies are worth watching again
Godzilla acts like he's on a bender in this movie, so I love that the camera pulls in on his glazed-over glare right at the start. Kinda Godzilla that'd say "I'm okay to drive, Occifer."
The Peanuts girls were so pretty and sang so well. This movie is my all-time favorite!!!
What a total classic.
Easily one of my faves from the Showa Godzilla era. Only in the original b/w film was Godzilla portrayed as being this destructive and this evil. Enjoyed the hell out of this film when I first saw it as a kid. This is one of the rare times when the original American International dub version of this film conveyed the same heavy somber tone as this Japanese language version. Great old school cinema.
Love this bit of original Godzilla (and Mothra) magic!
Am I the only one who found it very funny when Mothra grabs Godzilla by his tail and drags him? And shortly after, when Godzilla sneaks on her, she spreads her wings and makes him trip and fall in a ditch! Then later, one of Mothra's offspring bites Godzilla's tail, causing him to freak out!
2:39 When you pretend your asleep and your mom is dragging you to school.
Ikr
Gotta love these , the story telling definitely
I don’t care what anyone says; nothing beats this classic Godzilla movies man, I remember watching them when I was a kid growing up in Mexico, I’m pretty sure few people in this world don’t know who Godzilla is
I just like it how Godzilla is trying to crawl away when mothra was pulling him
i used to sit and watch reruns of these movies after school. we even saw a couple of them in theaters.
those incredibly wicked looking eyes. this is why i'm a Proud Godzilla fan. loved this movie.
After Goji Minus One, this theme became so powerful that I just keep coming back to it
They didn't even have 1080p lol this looks so good on my t.v. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Godzilla: Mmmmmm hard boiled
Mothra: Get the f away!!
Godzilla: But it looks so tasty!
Mothra: Eat the little people!
Godzilla: Where are they?
2:24 Actual footage of my mom dragging me downstairs to say hello to the guests
More like my parents trying to make me dance with girls when I was 11 years old at my own birthday party haha.
Maybe the best Godzilla movie and best Godzilla costume. There's also some really great rear projection FX in this flick. The story, the FX, the music, all-time classic Godzilla film IMO.

Imagine watching Jurassic Park in the Cinema back then in late 90s. Oh the chills.
That goofy shot at 2:38 is a pretty creative way of showing how disoriented he is by making the audience equally disoriented.
3:16 the way Godzilla started moving had me rollin on the floor
so is anyone gonna talk about godzilla's smooth eyebrow
Wow, Mothra makes Godzilla look like a wimp in parts of this scene.
she literally drags him away kicking and screaming lol
So her getting fried by the atomic breath makes him a wimp? Wtf is this? Bizarro world?
@@matthewlawton9241 *Queen
Well she's the QUEEN.
@@Noname-ut1ye No, it's the world before Godzilla became preposterously overpowered. In this time period, Mothra was more powerful than Godzilla. Arguably, she still is.
The beginning is more intimidating than 2019's glowing spine.
And that's how Godzilla journey was started ❤️
Don’t mess with someone’s children and there will be no problems - Mothra
