There was one of the sillier Showa era Godzillas (Godzilla vs. Gigan?) Where Godzilla does briefly talk. “Come on Anguirus!” He yells as the two swim to fight the evil monsters. Maybe it was only in the English dub? ---

Those three rules are awfully fluid. It’s not really eating if he spits instead of swallows (_Godzilla Minus One_). He can’t talk…unless it is to other monsters using his own language (_Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster_, _All Monsters Attack_ and _Godzilla Vs Gigan_) .. And he can’t truly die…unless he does (_Godzilla_ 1954) and they just name a new monster of the same species “Godzilla” (_Godzilla Raids Again_). ---

In Godzilla, King of the Monsters, didn’t he eat and swallow one of Ghidora’s heads (after nuclear-flame-roasting it)? ---

OK, what’s going on with all of the floating debris? Is that an established something from one of the monster movies? ---

I’m not sure it’s floating; maybe just thrown. Not sure why G would do that to take down a plane instead of just using his fire breath. If Rodan makes a guest appearance, maybe he can whip up the wind to toss buildings. ---

Dec. 1 according to the thread title. As for the “guest appearance”, @Smapti, is that just based on the split second of people fleeing with lightning bolts in the background? ---

Seeing tonight in Valley Village, CA! Only saw it online years ago. Not in theater yet. It is an all-time favorite screenplay of mine. Koichi (sp?) is the ultimate screwup. Great dark humor with him. ---
