This is on T.V. right now. The on screen guide describes it as:
"Godzilla and Jet Jaguar meet big cockroach and black chicken"
Lol 😋 😋😋 😋
Now I wanna hear Brandon dub over Gigan with "Oh I get it, it's because I'm a BLACK chicken monster isn't it?"
Giant lizard and giant robot fight giant bug and giant alien
It's on Comet TV now. 1/1/ 2021 More Godzilla until 2 Am. Then Science fiction movies.
@@JohnDoe-jq1mi lol what the fuck ?
As a child, I always appreciated the fact that Gigan and Megalon were instant buddies. They both had weird not-hands, they both hated Godzilla and uppity robots, Gigan was a cyborg that worked for cockroach aliens, Megalon kind of was a cockroach-alien cyborg, they had a very similar sense of evil humor, they took time out of their final battle to high-five, do a victory shimmy, and screech maniacally...I think they might be the only Godzilla kaiju team-up of an Earth monster and a Space monster not facilitated by mind-control.
I wish they would make godzilla vs the space monsters earth defense featured godzilla anguirus and Majin tuol fighting king ghidorah gigan and megalon the three evil monsters are controlled by an alein brain called miko has a theme park and the godzilla tower which gigan mistook for the real godzilla in two scenes megalon eventually all monsters attack directive this flim was to feature all the monsters just more monsters and we're there in the final flim every single monster that had didn't apperd in the toho's flims is known that the monsters on monster island would bred and cross bred with each other and fed by food cultural in a giant underwater ranch
I wish they’d bring back megalon.
Yeah I ship it too
Their dynamic is kinda like that of cousins that played together a lot as kids and then reunited as adults.
Dude, if I was a kid and I got to create a superhero that'd hangout with Godzilla in a legit movie, I'd lose my shit no-matter how the movie turned out.
Interestingly, that was apparently how the designer of 90s American Godzilla felt when he saw Toho have Real Godzilla kill his creation on-screen in seventeen seconds.
I didn't know that Jet jaguar was suppossed to be the main star of the movie. I remember thinking he was kinda cool as a kid. I adopted a black cat in 1999 that I named "Jet Jaguar" because of this flick. Very few people ever got the name reference.
This was one time where Brandon got his facts wrong. Godzilla vs. Megalon was never supposed to be a solo Jet Jaguar movie. That's a popular myth, but there's no evidence or sources that back this up. The movie was originally supposed to be Godzilla vs. Red Moon, but that film ended up getting cancelled. The character of Megalon was originally supposed to appear in the film Godzilla vs. Gigan alongside Gigan and King Ghidorah, but was dropped from the film.
He reminds me of Ultraman, with an annoying smile painted on his face.😂
Jet Jaguar is my all-time favorite kaiju. He is great. In the games he really shines as well.
I just can’t hate on this movie - it was my first Godzilla experience! But... yeah... most of it is not good.
Monster Island Buddies hello there old friend
I bring Justus lol I would never
Hey dude! Nice seeing you here!!!
Yeah wasup Mib
FuCk!!!!!!!!
Wouldn’t it be funny if In the next Godzilla review, Brandon uses stock footage of his own riffs
DaikaijuDownUnder fucking *right*
LOL yes do it just for shits and giggles
he already did it in the Gamera reviews, but he should do it again!
Yes it SUCKED. 😂
He probably could.
Fun fact: In Spain the movie was called "Gorgo and Superman meet in Tokyo", and Jet Jaguar is called "Superman" and Gigan is "Gorgo". So, in Spain this movie counts as "Japanese Superman".
You will get your chance to shine again Jet Jaguar...some day.
In singular point, where they somehow made gabara look cool
The seatopians can build a fully functioning underwater city and a sun but not a robot.
Skye Reynolds they're too lazy to make AI
Ran out of money.
Jeremy Moore and by money you mean rocks
They skipped those classes in college
They get distracted by the Martha Graham sperm dancers.
Someone needs to add a "Kenny" page to TV Tropes. It's a legitimate trope and I don't think there's already an entry for it.
It's not a trope, it's a MOTIF, dammit!
What's the origin of the "kenny"s? I feel like I'm missing something.
@@stevenb8611 The kid from Gammera The Invincible (thrd dub of the first gamera movie) was called Kenny
@@jesusramirezromo2037 sweet thanks
I think "The Tagalong Kid" covers Kenny.
Kid: Hey look! I found some funny powder
Brandon: *SNORT IT AND OVERDOSE KID*
If only the John Belushi in Godzilla costume scenes had survived. I saw it when it aired on TV in 1977. It was unbelievable.
I saw it too! I even remember some of John Belushi's lines ...
"Well, i'm on a lunch break right now, how about a pizza? Half filipino, half outer mongolian. But no japanese. Can't bite the hand that feeds you"! [starts laughing]
Then a giant styrofoam boulder is thrown at Belushi, he falls over and a comically-reworked Godzilla roar plays before going to commercial.
Something that might make you feel better about this film; you may recall that at the end of this film, the two men put the Kenny on Jet Jaguar's shoulders. You may also recall that Jet Jaguar spent a lot of time in close contact with Godzilla. You may also recall that Godzilla is radioactive. That kid is dead.
This movie is the reason why I became a Godzilla fan.
Quality-wise, It's not good. But I cannot, nor ever will I ever bring myself to hate it.
Too bad it's not "Still the Best" ;)
Goji73 I like ur little shorts that u made all those years ago
Exactly. I mean who in their right mind could hate that drop kick? Or Jet Jaguar?
"Ebirah" for me.
I feel like your doing this because you want attenchan
"How a tiny robot suppose to fight a giant monster"
Answer:
You go Ultraman on it's asses
Fun fact: "Roku-san" is played by Hiroyuki Kawase, who also played Ken in Godzilla vs Hedorah. 90% of Roku's annoyance factor comes from that dubbed voice.
Ken Yano. Bang! As loud as that?
This is probably the funniest Godzilla film ever made. The fight scene between the Kaijus were basically wwe with suits on.
AND HIS NAME IS KONG CENA!
I mean that’s how alot of the showa godzilla films were when it came to the monster fights
*_JET JAAAAGUUUWAAAAH_*
He eat sushi from a pail.
JET JAGARRRRRRRRRRRRR
Cool character
*PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH!*
he mother never really love him
Godzilla vs Megalon is one of my favourite Godzilla movies. They had this as a kiddie feature when I was a kid. They had free popcorn and showed a three stooges short,and a cartoon and this movie.
He's got the moves like Jaguar!
Missed a perfect opportunity to make a Pacific Rim joke about how alien life came from deep beneath the Pacific.
Great video!
Aliens in pacific rim were from another dimension that just happened to have a portal there.
There is a line in the movie that states that aliens come from deep beneath the Pacific. I know they have a portal there. lol
Necrowolf81 now we need an Ultraman Ripoff to fit the Pacific Rim lore.
Using a reference to a Murican made overbudgeted Super Robot hommage to make fun of a 70's Japanese kaiju movie... would b in bad taste.
Are Atlanteans alien?
*sees notification* oh neat
*sees Brandon review Godzilla vs Megalon*
*ground shakes* it’s time

20:29 Godzilla doing a reverse fart 🤣
"You know guys, I've just realized how weird this movie is. It's kinda goofy!" How little you know, Tom Servo.
Kid friendly godzilla movie has nude pics in the back window of the bad guy's container truck.
JamcalX I’m glad someone else noticed that. I was sitting in my car and bam! I saw nipples in the video.
Bart Lewis There's some bush, too.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. I didn’t notice until the 3rd watch
Playmates Gloria Root and Deanna Baker.
That's like from terror of mechagodzilla where they showed the girls breast during her surgery which I didn't catch until I watched it last year and was like, "Holy shit, tits!"
I remember this being one of my favorite Godzilla movies when I was kid... though I suppose to an 8 year old kid, it's definitely ticks all the boxes.
They were going for kids, and they didn't miss. Can't fault them for that.
Not gonna lie, the scene where Godzilla just pulled up and started throwing hands is pretty damn epic!
This movie is a Guilty Pleasure of ours. That Flying Godzilla air kick is totally hilarious to us! XD
*Me, "Surely the kid can't be that bad in this movie?"
The second the kid opens his mouth
* Me, "DEATH TO KENNY!"
OH MY GOD YOU KILLED KENNY!!
Your not a basterd
Kid's in Godzilla movies are always the worst
Honest Dave he's actually not that bad in the japanese version.
@@honestdave Except the kids who appeared in Godzilla 2014 and Godzilla king of the Monsters (2019). Then again, the kid in the 2014 one barely had any appearances so that makes him tolerable.
*I don't think so, I thought Megalon was a pretty awesome movie, also you gotta love Jet Jaguar and his theme.*
Haha good joke
Happen to know ben10 ? I just saw some again recently and realize the alien 'waybig' on it looks surprisingly similar to jet jaguar.. Not a dead ringer but any means but was weird to see lol and it also is the size of a kaiju
Also fun fact according to the German version of Godzilla vs Megalon, Jet Jaguar is apparently King Kong in a robot suit!
Yes and in Spanish he's Superman
Still hoping that someday they'll use Megalon in another film. I think the character design would translate really well to a modern update.
Didn’t they show his dead body in Final Wars?
@@steverogers2603 Um.... no.
I started my day with a kidney stone. This vid has made my day much better.
Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: Totally better than a kidney stone!
3:28 oh no annoying Kenny! Brandon's one weakness!
I really love Godzilla’s appearance in this movie. He looks really adorable and child friendly
9:10 look at those posters behind the men...
Niceee
Even Megalon is like "DAFUQ!"
When?
4:54 LOL OMG i was just thinking it sounded like Roseanne before you said that.
kreiyu same
The Flying Drop-Kick was perfected by Billy Quan from the sketch comedy show "Haywire."
That dude from Seatopia has a GoPro on his head
I’m not a huge fan of these type of movies but your commentary is just hilarious. 😂
This movie probably isn't the best one to introduce somebody to Godzilla (unless you're 8 years old) but it does provide a lot of riff opportunities.
Why tho?
blasphemy
I'm a huge fan of these movies but godzilla vs megalon isn't really the best introduction for new fans.
You guys are cute
Godzilla revenge please.
Rory Lumley f*ck you.
Griffin456 Extras No u
Mom: Let's watch this monster movie. Me: Okay. Sees naked posters in villain van. Shuts off movie and questions how it got a G rating.
70s were cool, that's why. Shame modern films aren't like older kids films
I was at the premier in San Francisco, where Bob Wilkins of Creature Feature fame was handing out buttons at the entrance. It was part of a double feature including The Giant Spider Invasion. Little did I know, as a young lad, what truly priceless movies I was watching that day.
Another great Godzilla review from you.
The dam sequence is surprisingly good. Some of the series' best miniature work, IMO.
This was my first Godzilla movie when I was a kid so it has a special place in my heart.
So technically megalon is a good guy... that's interesting
I watched this movie many times as a kid in the 80s. It was the first Godzilla movie I ever saw, and I was hooked.
13:49 "Oh, yeah. Here's something you may have noticed..." Wires.
Gail Lewis 12:00 notice that, kids film🤗
That model airplane the kid throws at the villain looks just like a model airplane!
Godzilla v Megalon was one of my first Godzilla movies i watched (of course i fast-forwarded to the action). 18:11- “Screw ya guys, I’m goin home!” also.....DO GODZILLA FINAL WARS FOR MY SAKE (FYI Allan Rickman is Prof. Snape. Also, he’ll be missed. RIP.). Also, Hiroshi is just Goro’s friend.
I lost it when he said Easter islands next to Passover island 😂😂😂
Me too
Jet Jaguar is Basically Toho's Precursor for What Would Later Become Zone Fighter.
Best title card ever, give the guy a bonus this week.
GREAT IDEA! I'll be sure to share that with Brandon ;)
Oh shit, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! Keep up the good work, man.
13:38 He's not hopping, he's actually doing the griddy
Lol that Alan Rickman impersonation
THE KING HAS RETURNED!!! (I mean Brandon of course)
Smith Wesson unfortunately so did Kenny
Dear god not Kenny!
You bastards, you DIDN'T kill kenny!!!
"Jet Jaguar, Jet Jaguar! He mother never really love him!"
William Crowe what do you mean he never had one
"Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! ....Who's there?"
“JET JAGAR JET JAGAR PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH”
"His head look like Jack Nicholson"
Wow, just wow
The Kenny character wouldn't have been so bad if they had come up with a realistic voice over for an English speaking boy aged 8 or 9. I mean what boy that age talks like that? Unfortunately, there is no female character in a tight outfit or a mini-skirt to help easy the pain of hearing this Kenny.
No if, ands or buts about it, Godzilla and Jet Jaguar are the best wrestling tag team ever. Jet Jaguar should have his own movie.
I have seen this movie over a dozen times and only until I watched this review did I notice that the Seatopian leader had a tiny Megalon head on his headdress.
21:01 Nice Fullmetal Jacket reference, God bless R. Lee Ermey.
Also Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla reference.
This one will always be one of my favorites. I always think of watching an old vhs tape of it with my grandfather when I was young. Good times.
Watching this film as a little kid when it was released in Spain was a psychedelic experience in its own right. Everything about it is so surrealistic: the protagonists' funky house, the blonde mustachioed villain, the dance numbers, the Easter Island statues, the moment when the robot just fucking _grows._ To top it off, in the Spanish dub they changed the robot's name to _Superman_ and they titled the film "Gorgo y Supermán se citan en Tokyo". Because WHY NOT. For years, I was convinced that I must have dreamed the whole thing, until some classmates confirmed that they had watched the film too.
Idk why but i like alot when godzilla teams up with other monster
9:44 Have a seat! Maybe on the chair itself, instead of awkwardly trying to perch on the armrest?
This one has a special place in my heart because it was one of the very few Godzilla movies that got syndicated on UHF where I lived when I was a kid in the 80's/90's and would watch it EVERY time I saw it listed in TV Guide. ♪ Hito ga tsukutta, robotto da kedo, Jetto Jagaa, Jetto Jagaa, Yatta, Jetto Jagaa ♪
5:22 That slow-mo sound effect is hilarious.
I have a special place in my heart for this one. When I was five or six years old I wanted very badly to see this movie and it was a time when watching TV meant an antenna on the roof of the house. We could get four channels on a good day, but Godzilla vs Megalon was coming on Channel 4 and tiny little me just HAD to see it. But the motor that moved the antenna malfunctioned and we couldn't tune in the right channel. My Uncle climbed onto the roof and spent twenty minutes manually tunning in the movie for me. I'll always remember that simple act of love. Horrible movie, great memory.
"snort it and overdoes kid" couldn't said it better.
"..the Godzilla Community"!
My gram got this movie on vhs at a dollar store when I was like 4 way back in the late 80's. I wore that tape out. I had a big ass, plastic Godzilla and he did the tail slide kick on every toy, dog, cat, and person I knew. I know it's a terrible movie, but it's still my favorite.
Something about this movie I loved growing up in the 70’s. Yes, perhaps this movie was geared towards a younger audience but that doesn’t make it any less of a Godzilla film! This was the era of giant robots in Japanese culture and I loved it as an Ohio kid! My favorite Godzilla film. It’s quirky campiness mixed in with the robot, the inventor (who I always assumed was the uncle by the way) and yes-the kid, made this a magical film. That water floaty thing that the kid was paddling in the beginning of the movie-in the 70s that was such a surreal looking thing. It looks goofy as all heck now, but back then it was such a neat strange thing to see that kid riding it. I wanted one! The robot yes, looks ridiculous now. In the context of the 70s, it was incredible! Hard to believe I know. Love this Godzilla film.
I want one now
This was my second Godzilla movie and weirdly my favourite growing up. Cool review as always Brandon
Gotta be honest, this is one of my all time favorites in the Godzilla series.
two years later but...
14:22 not really. we've seen glimpses of the design that one, and jet is only loosely based on it. which means they less used the winning design and more took inspiration from it.
This is it. My fave from when I was little in the early 80's. I didn't know the title and in my memories Jet Jaguar somehow fused with Ultraman.
I've been waiting for this to be reviewed! It was the first Godzilla movie i ever saw, wayyyyyy back in the '70's
I actually saw the MST3K version of this pretty early on as a re-run on Comedy Central before I even turned 13, which was actually my intro to GODZILLA VS. MEGALON before I saw the original non-MST3K version. And yeah, it really kinda sucks, but - I know I'm going to get wrapped in the mouth for this - I think this is slightly better than GODZILLA VS. GIGAN. Granted, I actually would have liked more scenes of dancing Japanese women in Seatopia and could have done without the kid throughout the whole movie, but the fact that they managed to add two new characters to the Godzilla universe is kind of refreshing, and the fact the GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA followed afterward is a blessing. In any case, I'll just count my blessings that this wasn't as stupid and obnoxious as GODZILLA'S REVENGE. And with Legendary Pictures trying to create it's own Kaiju Universe to match Marvel's Avengers series, it makes me wonder if either Gigan or Megalon will show up - they probably won't, but the fan art responses to the latest announcements involving Legendary's own Godzilla series is pretty awesome and I'm already presold.
Last time I watched a review of yours was like March, I forgot how funny this was lol
I saw this movie when I was 11 years old in the theater. I couldn’t believe how good the special-effects were! LOL!
OMG I loved the subs of JJ calling Godzilla, could not stop smiling for a while thanks Brandon. XD
11:48 well... there’s something you don’t notice on your shit VHS quality version of the movie at home. I had no idea this movie had nudity in it. Lol.
Maybe I would have liked this movie more as a kid if I had the DVD.
I know right
D Man1954 I thought he said Terror of Mechagodzilla was the only Godzilla movie featuring nudity 🤔
Wait, what!? *Checks* Well, dayum. Japan's got some serious nerves putting that in a kids movie. Huh, not bad looking either.
If you didn’t know the first Godzilla movie also have that
Niceeee
You know, at times like this I actually like that my first introduction to godzilla started from _Millenium_ era films.
Thank you russian broadcasting of early 2000th.
*18:30* godzilla comes flouncing in
*the toilet flushes in the background & he has toilet paper stuck on his foot 🚽*
As bad this movie is I love it for how bad it is
Yes! Back to Godzilla! And one graced by MST3k too!
I have a soft spot for the 70s Godzilla films-while cheap and dumb, and that god damn kid, and really bad soundtrack, it's a lot of fun
I liked it more than Shin Godzilla or GMK. No, seriously. It's not nearly as annoying or unpleasant.
And hey, any movie with a toga party and Snape getting the crap kicked out of him is fine with me!
Mst3k sucks. They dare to mock amazing movies like the incredible melting man.
13:23 The last time I was attacked by stock footage, it was in a Powerpoint Presentation
As a kid I loved the "Monster wrestling"...four suits just beating beating the shit out of each other!
Yay! It's Gojira! Thanks Brandon.

I love how the artist managed to make megalon look shocked
18:42 the music made me laugh and thinking about it later on made me laugh harder XD
Might have to cover the eyes of any kids watching this video, uncensored ( . ) ( . ) during a couple of scenes with the truck having the hostages.
gatoneko Got some (\/) too.
Godzilla vs. Megalon was my first journey through Godzilla's History when I was 5 years old. It holds a dear place in my heart.
The running Godzilla flying jump kick, Godzilla flying in GODZILLA VS HEDORA, and the entirety of ALL MONSTERS ATTACK/GODZILLA'S REVENGE were some of the franchises biggest "Jump The Shark moments.
One of my favourite Godzilla movies. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone trash it. I it's one of the best.
With this movie you really gotta appreciate foreign dubbing. When I saw this one, it was dubbed in Bulgarian and the kid sounds MUUUUUCH more tolerable there.
I watch this movie so many times as a kid. Not gonna lie it was one of my favorite Godzilla movies. A campy Godzilla? I’m here for it! 😂
“Kaiju curb-stomped” lol
Jet Jaguar is the result of a "create a kaiju" contest and was originally named Red Alone.
A variation of Jet Jaguar was shown in the anime Godzilla: Singulair Point.
