Godzilla vs Tokyo?

Okay, it’s been done, but I’m still going to show my photos :p. I’m a big Godzilla fan (see the last five letters of my name), and I finally got to visit Tokyo.

Here are some pictures I took of the real-life landmarks Godzilla stomped:

In the late 70s, Saturday Night Live had a skit called “Kramer vs. Godzilla” spoofing the Dustin Hoffman flick “Kramer Vs. Kramer.” It had the Kramer parents in court fighting Godzilla for custody of their child.  
Jane Curtain: Your honor, you can’t seriously believe that a ten-year old boy should be living in the depths of a cold, dank cave!

Dan Ackroyd: Your honor, if my client doesn’t get custody of the boy, he will lay waste to Japan!

I’d like to see Godzilla vs. every Real Housewife of everywhere, with Paris Hilton, Britney, Lindsay, Jessica Simpson & the women of “the View” thrown in for good measure. Actually, I’d just like to see Godzilla storm in and breath radioactive flames on them, incinerating them all.

Godzilla has fought several mechanized versions of himself. What about a clone? With today’s technology Toho ought to be able to figure out a way to get the big guy’s DNA, and take it from there.

I just attended the Godzilla and Friends film festival, held the first weekend in May each year, in Topeka, Kansas.

[http://godzilla-friends.org/Home\_Page.html](http://godzilla-friends.org/Home_Page.html)

The final film was the following, and it was very good.

> **[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001) ⭐ 7.0...](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279112/)**
>
> 1h 45m | Not Rated

This movie’s plot was a direct sequel to the 1954 film, as if no other Godzilla films had been made. The big green guy was like the Godzilla from the original, the angry, bad, more animalistic Godzilla. If you check out the trivia there’s some fun items we discussed.

Bill Tsutsui, who was the guest speaker, also spoke on the recent earthquake in Japan. He was in Tokyo when it happened, for a conference. He saw a window-washer, five stories up, topple from his platform, to dangle from his safety harness for 2-1/2 minutes while the shaking was going on. The festival is always free, but this year I hope folks were a little more generous with donations, as all the money was earmarked for earthquake relief.

Space Godzilla came from Godzilla genetic material. Not exactly a clone, but an exact clone is a pretty good concept. I give the edge to the original because of the experience factor, and if Godzilla gets to the doppelganger fast enough, he’ll be much larger.

Godzilla vs…Dracula.

I’ll admit it, I’ve actually always wondered about that one.

And I suppose which _version_ of Dracula would matter, too. I mean, Bela Lugosi as opposed to Gary Oldman as opposed to [Alucard](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx9ac1BZRIY).

If Dracula bit into an artery, the blood pressure, backed by that enormous heart, would make him _explode!!_

Yeah, Bosda, but think how cool an undead Godzilla would be. In fact, I just got an idea for my D&D campaign. Oh, how the players will hate me! 😃

If that’s true, well it’s not funny at all. Do you remember what episode it was? I watched the first two seasons, and I don’t feel like going back and watching them all again for awhile

Don’t be ridiculous. What the hell is a Vampire Godzilla going to suck the blood of? Anguisaurus? Rodan? Mothra? What happens when we’ve got a world full of Undead Kaiju?  
Where the Hell is he going to find a coffin that big?

And where are _WE_ going to find a wooden stake big enough? we’ll have to sacrifice a redwood!

It has to be Godzilla vs. Al Gore in the Ironman suit. What a battle that would be!

Something [creepier](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KXstfIlwew#t=1m21s) [than](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDKyL6y7FZ8) [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfAr3fN7uP8), [maybe?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM5LR45OcdU&NR=1) 😃

Then, there was [the version of Godzilla](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla,_Mothra_and_King_Ghidorah:_Giant_Monsters_All-Out_Attack) who explicitly _was_ supposed to be fueled/summoned by millions of tormented souls of the dead…who looked [like this](http://images.wikia.com/godzilla/images/9/9e/Gmkzilla.jpg). :eek:
