for Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster."In 1956, he first appeared on motion picture screens across the country.
His impact on audiences was instantaneous and unprecedented.
His acting technique was revolutionary. His presence... overwhelming.
He possessed more raw talent than any performer of his generation.
He soon became an international legend, a giant who took the world by storm.
Then, suddenly, at the height of his fame, he retired from motion pictures.
Now, he is back!
And he's more magnificent, more glamorous, more devastating than ever.
Prepare yourself!
The greatest star of all has returned!"
— One of the U.S. trailers for Godzilla 1985
for Godzilla 1985"I'd say in some strange way, he's been made by man. Out of mankind's violence and nuclear weapons."
— Professor Hayashida in the The Return of Godzilla's export trailer.
"When Godzilla appeared 30 years ago, it was regarded by the Odo Islanders as a legendary monster come to life. When the world is in chaos, monsters appear. Legends like this are all over the world. The return of Godzilla means the world is going to be in turmoil. I just want to send it home."
— Professor Hayashida in the The Return of Godzilla

"Look. You are not fooling anybody when you say that what happened fifteen years ago was a natural disaster, alright? It was not an earthquake. It wasn't a typhoon, okay? You're lying because you're hiding something out there. I'm right, aren't I? I DESERVE ANSWERS! Y'see? There it is again. This is what caused everything in the first place, don't you see that? And it is going to send us back to the stone age! You have no idea what's coming."
— Joseph Brody in Godzilla (2014)
"Nature has a way sometimes of reminding man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up the terrible offsprings of our pride and carelessness, to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of man are often dwarfed by their dangerous consequences. For now Godzilla, that strangely... innocent and tragic monster has gone to earth. Whether he returns or not, or is never again seen by human eyes, the things he has taught us, remain..."
— Steve Martin in Godzilla 1985
"Watch as Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich transform the most iconic movie monster of all time into a box-headed, chicken-legged, no-atomic-breath-having, Jay-Leno-chinned, stupid-faced, flat-nosed piece of ***!"
— Honest Trailers sums up the 1998 American film.
Godzilla is huge. And by huge, I mean really fucking huge. He's so big he makes the T. Rex from Jurassic Park look like something out of one of those fruity calendars with pictures of newborn kittens on them, and unlike a lot of epically giant things out there he has the good sense to use his massive size as a means with which to destroy anything that crosses his path, smashing buildings with his giant fucking tail, punching pagodas until they become giant flaming explosions, and using commuter trains as nunchucks with which to pummel the life of out other giant mutated monsters that get in the way of his mission to completely eradicate all human life on the planet.
"Die you metaphor of a technocratic future destroying our ancient traditions! Die you rubber representation of post-atomic horror! Die you spawner of countless B-grade sequels in badly dubbed English!"
— 'Baka' Kincaid, Plan 7 of 9 from Outer Space
You get in my way, I'ma feed you to the monster
I'm normal during the day, but at night, turn to a monster
When the moon shines like Ice Road Truckers
I look like a villain outta those blockbusters
Godzilla, fire spitter, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V carpet
Fire, Godzilla, fire, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V carpet
— 'Juice Wrld', “Godzilla”
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla! Yeah...
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla! yeah...
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men
Godzilla!
—Blue Öyster Cult, "Godzilla"
It's a dinosaur
Thousand feet or more
Bigger than ya fear
Listen, can't you hear
It's comin' closer
You cannot run in any direction
No place to hide ain't got no protection
It can be sorrow, blood, and destruction
But it can give you incredible emotion
Go Godzilla go
Jurassic Lizard Superstar Hero
Go Godzilla go
For the people
For the planet
—Ika, "Go Godzilla Go"
