No they don't mean that. "Godzilla Raids Again" is not a part of the Heisei series timeline. The 1984 film is a direct sequel to the first movie in which a second Godzilla appears. Godzilla never fought Angilas in 1955 in this universe.
You basically just repeated what you'd already said and we heard you the first time, thanks. And most of it seems to boil down to "I hate fun."
Try using your words instead of your damn dirty lies.
"...it's superior to 'Howling II' and 'Howling III'"
It absolutely is not. Christopher Lee alone makes "Howling II" better than "IV" and Imogen Annesley and Ralph Cotterill make "Howling III" better than anything "IV" has to offer.
Jakemon45, that's correct. John Hough made a completely different movie and then when he turned in his cut of the movie, Clive Turner (who also called himself "Freddie Rowe" to make it look like he didn't write the movie alone) set about recutting the movie and proceeded to reshoot the ending (the original ending featured a sequence of the Coombs Werewolf leading the red-eyed wolf-werewolves). We have never seen Hough's version of the movie (which apparently was completed).
You know Denzel was BEFORE Latifah, right? And Edward Woodward BEFORE that?
Your queen's just a Johnny-come-lately.
"But they still messed up by making this Godzilla look so different and not giving an explanation of why it looks so different."
They don't play that game and have never played that game. Godzilla has looked wildly different from movie to movie and there's no in-universe reason for it nor should you think there is. In "The Making of GODZILLA" ['84], they show how Godzilla was designed to be sort of a cross between the 1954 and 1964 Godzilla designs. But Godzilla looking different is not something you're supposed to be hung up on.
"Wouldn't reporter Steve Martin have been told by Ogata that Godzilla was totally destroyed, including the skeleton?"
Considering Ogata was on board the ship with Steve Martin when Godzilla died, he wouldn't know that either.
Go back and look in the original movie-- Godzilla's bones disintegrate as well.
The movie played as "Godzilla vs. the Bionic Monster" from March 1977 to July of 1977 (or sometime thereafter), which is when Universal launched their lawsuit. The title card looked like the international title card, except instead of "Mechagodzilla," it said "The Bionic Monster." People who saw it report "the Bionic Monster" version even had the word "Godzilla" flying toward and away from the screen as in the international version, though that would be replaced by the new title card when it became "Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster."
Those are not even close to a correct translation of the song or even transcription of the Japanese lyrics.
Japanese lyrics:

English lyrics:
The curtains of
dark night vanish.
When the morning sun rises,
from sleep,
he awakens for our wish.
My Seesar,
waiting with the starry beach
Seesar, your strength intensifies, crossing the blue choral.
Put an end to the tears on our cheeks.
With my heart,
You burn, you burn.
Seesar! Seesar! Seesar!
King Seesar!
The curtains of
dark night vanish.
When the morning sun rises,
from sleep,
he awakens for our wish.
My Seesar,
waiting with the leaf shadows of the palm trees.
Seesar, your strength intensifies, making the red deigos bloom
Hear and send me my wish.
With my heart,
you wait, you wait.
Seesar! Seesar! Seesar
King Seesar!
Okay, you are just making shit up apparently.
Nowhere is that in the Japanese dialogue or even the English dub!
That is not true at all. You either made that up or heard it from someone who made it up.
There is no "Godzilla species." Godzilla is a one-of-a-kind monster created by atomic bomb tests. There is a species that was transformed into Godzilla (Toho claims all Godzillas were once Godzillasaurus before the bomb. Take that for what you will), but there is no such thing as a "lifespan and stages of Godzilla").
The monsters went back to Monsterland of their own volition. There are no "safeguards" there now. The Fire Dragon destroyed the base on Monsterland and all of mankind's equipment that was there. The whole point of the ending is that man and monster are now at peace with one another now that man has left the monsters to their own devices. It's not about "trust" or some such. It's just that's where the monsters live and man are leaving them alone now.
Godzilla is not a natural animal. Godzilla is a monster created by atomic bomb tests (they even make this demarcation in the Japanese dialogue of "King Kong vs. Godzilla"). There is no such thing as a "natural lifespan of a Godzilla" (although, Tomoyuki Tanaka once wrote in one of his several Japanese books that Godzilla would live for 10,000 years).
Minya is not Godzilla. He's a similar species or may even be of the species that became Godzilla, but Godzillas are not a natural occurring animal and we cannot know what their stages of life are.
"Why was this written into the movie?"
Because girls do talk like that.
"Sure it's a school girl saying it to the character of Rocky Jnr., but that doesn't negate the fact that this line came from Stallone's mind"
Yes, because a writer has to be everyone. They have to be male, they have to be female. They have to be old. They have to be young. The writer is God of that universe. That's how writing works. A writer who writes like you're trying to say Stallone should be like isn't a good writer at all. Every character should think, act, and talk differently than the ones around them, especially if they are of different ages.
This complaint reeks of a lack of understanding of basic authorship.
"Sage Stallone was 13 when this was filmed."
Stallone didn't write this ABOUT his son.
Sage Stallone wasn't supposed to be Rocky Jr. at that point in the movie. Rocky Krakoff was to reprise the role in the early parts of the movie. But then, when the movie time jumps to 1990 near the end, that's when Sage was to have come in to play an older Rocky Jr. But when Krakoff proved unavailable, they just decided to have Sage do the whole movie, but they do make him look more fresh-faced and youthful at the beginning.
Tommy Gunn wasn't based on Mike Tyson, but Union Cane was. George Washington Duke was based on Don King and Cane was Duke's boy just as Tyson was for King.
Yes. Fighters do that all the time. Usually, they're standing back to back with their arms across their chest.
A bunch of devil-worshippers in this thread apparently...
Nicholas is cooler than all of you put together.
"This has gotta be Christopher Lee's worst film"
I would like to point to "Starship Invasions"...
All these movies do not take place in the 1920s.
The Face & The Brides - Brides happens right after Face, and they are indeed in the 1920s. Probably around 1924.
The Vengeance - Nayland Smith is joining Interpol, and Interpol did not form until the 1930s. Nayland Smith's hair has also turned [Douglas Wilmer's hair dyed] grey because he's aging.
The Blood - Fu Manchu has electronics in his Incan hideout that could not possibly have existed earlier than the mid-1950s.
The Castle - Fu's hair has turned grey and he behaves like a doddering old man and Lin Tang is visibly aging (after still looking like a smoke show in "The Blood" shot only months before). Appears to take place in 1968.
