Tokyo the newest city in the world.

I never heard of that movie, but now I sooo want to see it.

Joke! Though... I really love daikaiju films.

The daikaiju films were always so much fun. Couple of monsters duking it out in down town as the humans (with their remote control tanks and stuff) accomplish nothing with their fire crackers and people run screaming as their city is leveled... That was high tech shit back in the day. May be cheesy compared to modern special effects, but its still a good beer & pretzels entertainment.

I was seriously wondering how I never heard of it, but given the massive number of quasi-dinosaur/megafauna you never know.

And, Im just as dweeby. Used to run demos for a line of small scale wargaming tanks at conventions and discovered that putting "Godzilla" in the event's title would draw massive numbers of people. No matter how many tanks and toy monsters you came with, it was never enough and you would have to wind up writing rules for whatever you could scrounge up. And its all almost anything can be used and still remain in the theme.

I like daikaiju films because the idea of being ultra-super-realistic special effects extravaganzas takes a back seat to how awesome it is to have giant monsters fighting. I'm also amused by the juxtaposition of junky B movies with some pretty high quality period films in the 1960s - it's a little as if Troma was known in part for their versions of Wuthering Heights or The Brothers Karamazov.
