Ask away.

I'm bored and hot.

And to demonstrate the willing suspension of disbelief of which I am capable, please see my recent review of Godzilla's Revenge. In this case I fall into the under-7 audience definition.

1. What exactly is the "relationship" of the three main characters
Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 09:42 AM by jpgray
In Godzilla vs. Megalon? And followup--what plans do they have for Jet Jaguar before the Seatopians hijack him?

3. Goro and Rokuru (the kid) are brothers
Hiroshi appears to be Goro's significant other. I have no idea what Jet Jaguar was going to be used for before the Seatopians seized control. Guess I have to watch it again.

10. I think JJ was used a plot device
so that it might become a Ultra-man hero, I think.

6. The Shobujin
were played by Emi and Yumi Ito. They retired from showbiz in the mid 70s.

I have no idea if they are available, I will ask my contacts on Infant Island.

11. yes
Megumi Koboyashi and Sayaka Yamaguchi were the Shobujin in the Rebirth of Mothra titles

Kieko Immamura and Sayaka Osawa were the Cosmos in Godzilla vs. Mothra in the Heisei series.

I can't remember who played them in the Millennium films.

13. heheh...it's actually a funny thing -
Edited on Thu Aug-03-06 10:45 AM by blm
The "officers" in charge established radio code for the monsters - "From now on the brown gargantuan will be called - The Brown Gargantuan. And the green gargantuan will be called - The Green Gargantuan."

Heh - - that always made me laugh.

btw - - do you review horror books, as well?

14. I don't remember if their actual names get used in the Americanized
film either.

I hope someone releases it on Region 1 DVD soon. I haven't seen that film is probably 25 years.
