LIES AND SLANDER!

>>36002678

Don't forget, Kong was also antisemitic.

>>36002771
whhhhhaaaaaaaaaa

>>36002849
Yeah man, at one point he went on a drunken rampage, throwing barrels everywhere and shouting how the 'Jews control most of the world's wealth'. Afterwards he went into rehab but the damage was done.

>>36002888
>>36002849
There's a reason why Godzilla became king of the Monsters and Kong wasn't seen for years until that shitty movie in the 70's.

>>36002771
"There was this one time, we were filming a jungle scene for the 80's King Kong and Kong just wouldn't come out of his trailer. Kept yelling at the director about the jews this and n-word that, it was crazy man. So finally he comes out to do his part, and he smells like he took a bath in Jack Daniels. I told him Kong buddy you gotta cut down on the drinking man that shit could kill you. You wanna know what he said to me, he said 'Fuck You Jeff you K***-loving son of a whore, I've shit out better things than your movies.' Dude was a piece of shit."

Is it true that he used to beat Son of Kong?
I heard that he doesn't like talking about his dad at all.

His son on the other hand, after getting constant beatings from his father, decided to not stoop to his dad's level, and decided to be a better upstanding citizen. He even found a girl I heard.

Hey, cut Kong some fucking slack. He was going through a rough breakup at the time

>>36003085
>Is it true that he used to beat Son of Kong?
Viciously from what I heard.

>>36003213
Dude, his fault for that breakup. He essentially dragged the dame into the relationship.

>>36003213
BOO FUCKING HOO! Godzilla broke up with Mothra yet he still had the professionalism to calmly work with her.

The reason why the sequels were about Frankenstein's Monsters was because Kong was impossible to work with.

>>36003258
That "relationship" was nothing but press baiting and you know it. They weren't really going out at all, it was all a sham.

"After Godzilla got his star on the walk of fame, Kong fell into a deep depression over his stalled carreer and hit the bars. His drinking got so bad that he disappeared for a week, to this day no one knows where he was or what he did during that time."

Hey, cut the Big Ape some slack. That Empire state incident was clearly a cry for help.

His "Kaijus did 9/11" thing was unacceptable though.

>>36003362
Man, Godzilla's love life sucks. I mean he's such a great guy and yet he keeps getting into these relationships and ends up losing custody of the kids. Though it was nice of him to put them in his movie(even if most could not act, especially his american adopted son).

Poor Kong. He really needs to get his life back together.

>>36003297
it all makes sense now

"Godzilla has always tried to help his embattled friend, Kong. Organizing interventions to help curb Kong's drinking and trying to get his friend work. But Kong's drunken benders always manage to burn every bridge he has."

>>36005087
It's a sad tale. At least most of his legacy today is still untarnished. Even though people mostly recognize him because of that one film in 1933.

And most people will always say that his son portrayed the part better.

I love you /co/.

>>36005160
yeah i really thought bringing kong back into the movies would help him out, but some people just can't let go of their ego. god only knows how that affected his kid

"Kong let the success of his first movie get to him. Partying constantly, he was the toast of hollywood. But when the work dried up he crawled into a bottle and didn't come back out for years."

"When asked how it was working overseas with Toho and such a big star like Godzilla, Kong went on a long tyrannous rant on how the working conditions of 60's Japan were similar to slave labor and how he would never work with anyone of them again. Kong's agency authorized a public statement apologizing for his behalf on his verbal assaults towards the good people at Toho, who gave him work when no other film company would."

Remember the huge fallout when Kong called Clover a cunt on live TV during that Geraldo interview?

>>36007263
It was pretty justified seeing how much of a cunt Clover really is.
Speaking of Clover, don't expect the sequel until his coke money runs out.

Geez, he's barely on camera and he thinks he's the star of the goddamn picture just because he has his name in the title.
Never heard this much noise from the Field.

You know it pains me how some monster can't deal with loss of popularity. Take this guy, Gets one main title movie, and bam he's done. thought he was hot shit, even though the box office said otherwise. God mad that he didn't get a big part in destroy all monsters, now he's just a extra in Ultraman. damn shame

>>36007623
Thank God for Ultraman, that's all I can say.

I think the list of death by suicide with the Kajis would be higher without him giving them jobs here and there.

ive been hearing kongs just got out of rehab again, met a nice girl, even trying to talk to his son.

Does anyone have that video of Kong where's he's drunk out of his head and eating hamburgers with his top off?

>>36003552
Godzilla does have a habit of romancing his co-stars, it's why his relationships tend to fall apart.

>>36003552
>specially his american adopted son
Did you see his bit part in Final Wars?
One of his best work.

Here the real trouble with his was the sham of a relation between big G and mothra. Dude had a thing for her

>>36008084
I dunno, his son got a pretty sweet TV spin-off that Godzilla Sr. loved, apparently.

>>36008112
It's nice to see someone else remember that show.

>>36008112
Meanwhile Kong Jr.'s own series was a monumental failure.

>>36008226
why do you think kong jr is now in production

"The entire fight in Osaka was improvised, and I don't mind telling you Anguirus loved it."

The 90s were a weird time. I heard Godzilla actually considered doing a Space Jam sequel, but then he left it when he saw better oppurtunities.

>>36008322
Let's pray he doesn't take that part he got offered a while back.

So how is mothra doing these days?

Rodan has proven to be the most level headed and down-to-earth of all the kaiju, amazingly avoiding scandals and having a long illustrious career. Having taken a break from the film industry for the past few years, Rodan tends to relax in his mansion in hawaii.

>>36008392

Honestly, no idea. Decided to leave show business, and nobody really knows what she's up to these days. There's a lot of rumors and stuff, but overall, she seems to have decided to leave fame behind.

>>36008458
hear he also is starting up a church program in kenya, damn that rodan sure is a great guy

Poor Hedorah...in and out of rehab so much they know him on a first name basis.

Jet Jaguar's rap career is really taking off. It's kind of surprising, but the guys got some really good flow.

I just wish he'd stop rhyming "thrilla" with "godzilla" in every one of your songs. We get it! You guys are friends!

>>36008458
I met him a couple of times. He sometimes comes to my town. He is a genuinely nice person to hang around with and really doesn't consider himself a celebrity, a real laid back kinda guy.

I once saw either Kong or Son of Kong waiting at the bus stop but I didn't have the nerve to ask them for an autograph. Especially with all the stories...

>>36008672
He may be talented but he's got a serious ego problem.
"Too big for Final Wars" my ass.

>>36008672
I know right, everytime he gets the groove going for me
>Jet Jaggah, the funky rhyme killa
>everybody knows me as the dope song deala
>Like Jackson I bring tha thrilla in Manilla
>Always got props cuz I hang with tha 'Zilla
He has to throw in a name-drop.
It was good... in the first two albums when he was relatively unknown in the rap game and he kinda needed that extra boost to stand out.
But now it just seems like a catchphrase or something.

Weird thing is that he doesn't talk about any other Kaijis but I thought all the Toho guys were real tight back in the day, does anybody know if things are good between them?

"Gamera was always about helping the kids, and giving back to the neighborhoods. But his partnerships with the charities ended when he found out there were inaccuracies as to where the money was going. He his own charity started Turtle House to rectify what he felt was the worst in mankind."

>>36008811
By the way, it's true the things godzilla said about the Blue Oyster Cult lawsuit? I heard there was a settlement but the lawyers say ottherwise

he may have been a bad actor but at least he was cool enough to do the Final Wars thing. Guy has a good sense of humor. im glad he got that show out of it

Roland Emmerich was pretty adamant against recruiting the real Godzilla for his American adaptation, being cited as stating that the actor was too expensive and "everything he did was stiff." Though much of his staff disagreed, Emmerich was the director at the end of the day and it was decided that Godzilla would not play the titular role. The Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park III was ultimately selected, and was so enthusiastic about his big debut that he trimmed his spines off.

Mechagodzilla tried for years to reconcile his differences with his predecessor but to no avail. Rumor has it, he has grown addicted to cocaine laced uranium.

>every godzilla character is addicted to drugs now
>completely destroying OP's joke

King Kong still refuses to do interviews.

>>36008874
>>36008871
bad actor, good guy

>>36008874
>>36008871
>>36008978
Everything I've read about him makes him seem like such a bro. Wish I could hang out with him for a day.

King Ghidorah sadly passed away while GMK was still in post-production. A lifelong proponent of higher education, he left his estate to various Japanese universities. At the premiere screening of GMK, a tearful Godzilla was quoted as saying "Onscreen we were always bitter enemies. But off camera, you could never have a better friend. I loved him like a brother."

King Ghidorah's role in Final Wars was filled by his adopted son Kaiser, who said it was "the least I could do to honor the memory of my father."

Spinosaurus, now preferring to call himself "Zilla," gained a considerable amount of weight for the role in an effort to make himself unrecognizable to the audience. Unfortunately audiences and critics noted how similar the two roles looked, particularly Zilla's inability to blast radiation and illuminate his trimmed spines. Though saddened by the critical failure of the film, Zilla said he wouldn't have done anything different and was happy to have worked with Emmerich. Zilla was later recruited for a minor role in Godzilla: Final Wars, finally meeting his hero and pleasing audiences with his pratfall.

Anyone else listen to the Maxi-Single put out by Biollante and Destroyah? A little rough but it's progressive as fuck man. I'm hoping they'll collaborate again in the future and release a full album. It'd do wonders for Destroyah's reputation, ever since...well, you know...

Despite working on his own series, Ultraman stopped by pretty often. He always had some of the weirdest yet most hilarious stories to tell about his kids. Him and Godzilla always joked about the two of them tag-teaming Jet Jaguar and Gomora one day.

Those were the days, huh?

>>36009023
>"Onscreen we were always bitter enemies. But off camera, you could never have a better friend. I loved him like a brother."
Why am I getting teary eyed...?

The following is an interview from LIFE magazine:

>So, what are you working on now?
>Just wrapped up Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, I was playing the part that Mechagodzilla stepped down from, which was probably best, having three Godzillas in one movie would have been crazy.
>It was a while since you've been in a movie with Godzilla, why the long pause between this and your classic The Mysterians?
>Well I basically took a break of the whole business, after the whole King Kong and MechaKong thing I saw that the Hesei films were getting too ... silly, I didnt want to do anything so childish.
>So why come back now? Is Space Godzilla so Different to Mechagodzilla?
>vastly, Space-G is a far better actor overall, I really see a bright future for him.

Mougera currently lives in California with his common-law partner Space-Godzilla. They are chief shareholders of Toho, Mougera also has a stage company; "The Iron-Drill Noses", which Tim Robbins called "The best troupe of the 20th century"

>>36009079
One of the most persistent rumors in the industry is that Ultraman would occasionally act as a stand-in or stuntman for Toho's own short-lived Zone Fighter series. Ultraman himself seems to enjoy it, and has never given an official statement one way or another.

>>36009147
>Mougera currently lives in California with his common-law partner Space-Godzilla.

thats fucking adorable.

>>36009023
i heard the head on the right once raped a girl

I always thought Gaigan's recent addiction to plastic surgery was such a shame. The guy honestly has it worse than Micheal Jackson.

>>36009260
you are thinking of Gigan

Clover, an aquatic monster hailing from the Mexican shores, was originally spotted by one of J.J. Abram's closest talent-seekers in Los Angeles. Working as a waiter in a Mexican restaurant, the agent admired Clover's peculiar appearance and giant size; Abrams himself believe that Clover's appearance was quite fierce, citing that she could be the "American Godzilla." Clover was originally reluctant to work in Hollywood but eventually eased in to her role when Abrams' vision dictated she be largely obscured by darkness and handheld camera action. Clover's film was a considerable hit, earning her fifteen minutes of fame and quite the paycheck. Clover was grateful for the audience's enthusiasm but cites she only liked "certain parts of the film" due to her tendency to become queasy in the presence of even fictionalized violence.

Clover now spends much of her time back in Mexico, watching over her 183 children.

Every day the make-up people had to cut crap out of Kong's fur.

>>36009023
I want this whole thread archived just for this post.

I'm fucking crying here.

Gigan decided to bow out of the entertainment industry and became an advocate for human rights and foreign aid, funding and participating in many relief efforts the world over.

He currently lives in eastern Montana, running a Kaiju rehabilitation clinic to get ailing monsters back to independence.

After a bad motorcycle crash Gigan had to endure complete reconstructive surgery and months of gruelling physical rehabilitation. As a result he was forced to miss the funeral for his long time best friend King Ghidorah. Gigan was inconsolable for weeks afterward.

His return in Final Wars was done partially as a favor to Godzilla and Rodan who helped him through the tragedy, and to his fallen friend. He was quoted as "Ghidorah had a great outlook on life, he said the second you let all the bad things in life get to you then you've already stopped living. I'm here to show him that I'm gonna live for the both of us."

>>36009326
For future "best of /co/" threads

>>36009312
>mfw it took me five minutes to remember what movie that was

>>36009312
i heard Clover and Godzilla had this fuckbuddy thing going a while. kind of weird considering the age difference.

While in the film he if Godzillas closest friend, Angirus is in fact Christopher Walken in a monster costume.

King Caesar has written a memoir entitled "Nuclear Family: Life Behind the Silver Screen." It details his journey into the movie making business and the many friends he'd made along the way.

An excerpt:
- When we found out Ghidorah had cancer, it felt like the world stopped. You could call him the big brother of the group: always there to listen, willing to help you out whenever he could. This great guy who was just as amazing in life as he was on set was dying and despite everything we could do on screen there was nothing we could do to stop it. But he never slowed down. He fought against it every waking moment for the sake of the people he loved to entertain.

He was and will always be my hero.

Unkown to most people Godzilla has an illegitimate son named Raiga. The two where finally introduced thanks to Rodan who was friends with Raiga's mother, who had auditioned for a role in one of Toho's movies.

For the last couple of years Godzilla was visiting many animation studios, trying his best to convince them to realize an interesting idea of his. The King of Monsters has a vision of an animated series for the entire family starring himself and most of his Kaiju friends - a series that would be witty, action packed and educational without the overly preachy tone many other animated shows have. He visited most of the studios in the US and Japan already, with little success so far, unfortunately. But Godzilla is not giving up and he has good reasons to be so stubborn. He is never going to publicly admit it, but some people in the business say that this project means so much to him because it would give work (as voice actors) to many of his close Kaiju friends, some of who deal with severe financial problems and are to simply proud to ask for a loan, even from an old friend. Godzilla would like to give them one more chance to shine and remind them of the good old days.

Some say that the reason behind the series receiving so much resistance from the producers may be the idea that every Kaiju would voice his animated version himself and none studio feels brave enough to deal with such a number of famous monsters at once for 3 full seasons. "I strongly believe that one day this show will become reality and bring much happiness to many young people around the world." - says Godzilla - "So don't lose hope, dear fans, the battle is not yet over."

>>36009900

Is that fucking Zilla in the right corner?

Disney was going to give Godzilla the chance to make this cartoon vision, but sadly big G declined, saying that Disney would be to involved. Early test shots were then sold to a christian children's cartoon studio

>>36010051
The rumor says that Disney refused to approve some of the Godzilla's ideas for the action scenes, Anguirus being used as a mace to fight off evil monsters included. According to Disney, using a living being as a weapon is always wrong, even though Anguirus himself loved the idea and disagreed with claims that it would "objectify him".

After a promising showing in Godzilla vs The Sea Monster, many expected Ebirah to continue on to a successful career in show business. Instead, he collected his paycheck and the royalties on the stock footage from All Monsters All Out Attack, and used the funds to finance a successful upscale sushi restaurant in downtown Tokyo. When asked why he left the business, he would often cite that he simply discovered he loved the restaurant game more.

Needless to say, many industry insiders were surprised when he agreed to come back for a cameo in Final Wars. "Godzilla's been my golf partner for the better part of twenty years now. I'll admit I was surprised when he asked me, but my grandkids seemed to enjoy it, so that made it all worthwhile."

>>36009900
I WANT IT SO BAD

>Suprisingly, we found one monster of the Europeon circuit had this to say on Godzilla:

"Oh, I alwayss lahved Godzilla. He vas greaht, he vas a star; ven again, he steel is! I might be only a seventy-sixth his own size but I found it sort of eenspeerational vack in dah day, yoo know? Eef he culd do it, I culd do it. Heh, ahf carse I'm not rrrrecking beeldings and tahring up cities, but you know how eet goes. Eet was an honor to meet him."

Hedorah could not be reached for this retrospective, as he is currently providing assistance for UN relief efforts in Darfur. "Yeah, that sounds like Hed," Godzilla explained with a chuckle. "ACTIVISM ACTIVISM ACTIVISM! 'The Cause' was always his motivation - as if the movie didn't give that one away."

I'm seriously tearing up here.

>>36008112
I thought I heard something about it being his proudest day as a grandfather.

>>36010189
Needless to say, both were greatly upset when they saw the first episode of EMH season 2, where Hulk used The Thing as a club.

I believe Disney response was something about kids not being strong enough to do that to other kids or humaoids, but they could get inspired to do it to a pet lizard if they saw it done with a giant lizard.

"He was a hero of mine. (referring to Kong) When shooting Episode 3, he contacted me asking if I needed any advice when it came time for my scenes. Normally I'm a pretty calm guy off screen, so the idea of Kong helping me getting into my character seemed like a dream come true. I'd learn to instill fear that could break pass the lens of a camera and into the viewers world. This being achieved while working with one of my idles, who inspired me to act. Well it didn't turn out to well. Lucas reluctantly let him on to the set, after warning me several times that he wasn't the same monkey anymore. Kong's idea of what it takes to be remembered and respected was late nights partying with hardcore drugs and loose women. Being married myself I was always tempted to use my start power to sleep with who I wanted, but my morals keep me in check. With the King, there can not be, nor are there any morals. After having Kong mooch off me for 5 days, having me treat him to his own wild times with little to no attention payed to my role or any acting for that matter, I was treated to an unpleasant surprise the evening just before shooting began on Episode 3. Staggering into my hotel room Kong reeked of piss and cheap vodka, he had a wheel barrow full of women tied up and a potato sack of drugs and other various unmentionables. I tried to get him to leave, but he was so stinky I could get near him. He tossed the women on the bed and began to force corn starch-laced coke down their throats. One girl tried to escape, but he smacked her over the head with a bottle of Sky vodka, he covered her head in corn starch to stop the bleeding, but at this point she was dead.He pulled a gun on me and told me start fucking. Fearing for my life I did as he asked, after an hour the room reeked of flesh, piss, cocaine and cocaine accessories. I had done so much pcp, ruffies,and other shit it fucked up my voice.

>>36011346

- Greivous on his now infamous cough. *The coughs were removed from this interview.

Not every monster had fond memories of working with the Big G.

Fortune 500 CEO Megalon had this to say: "We got into a row right in the middle of the shooting schedule. It was some stupid thing, and we had both had way too much to drink. Couldn't get along for the rest of the shoot. There, I said it - that's why we never worked together again. I guess that was a one-time thing, but I never had any patience for that industry anyway. More money in stocks."

>>36011245
There are talks on the horizon with gamera doing a sitcom for Disney. Just goes to show he still number 2

>>36011245

Many fans were outraged at this as they feel it makes it extremely unlikely that Godzilla would agree to guest-star in an episode of EMH. As many fans had hoped they would see an animated version of the classic comic book bout between Marvel's famed superhero team and the Big Man himself.

Godzilla, however, claims that if Disney does approach him about animating the fight, he wouldn't let his personal feelings towards the incident get in the way.

OH YES, GEZORA WAS THERE DURING THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD. THE DRUG ADDICTIONS, THE WILD PARTIES... WE WERE YOUNG MONSTERS AND FAME WENT TO OUR HEADS. GEZORA WAS THE PILLAR THE OTHER MONSTERS LEANED ON FOR SUPPORT, AND I WAS TOTALLY THERE AT THOSE PARTIES GETTING ALL THE LADIES AND NOT AT HOME EATING A SPERM WHALE.

WAIT CAN THAT BE EDITED OUT?

WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T E! TRUE TOHO STORY? GEZORA THOUGHT HE WAS FINALLY GOING TO HIT IT BIG!!

Big G was a great sport about that spot, and about the comic, no ego bruised or anything. Really, he saw it as a good chance to cut loose, have some fun, you know, let go a little.

He and I still hit each other up for a game, every now and then.

Giant Lobster Monster was going to do another movie along with Godzilla, but on his was to the set, he was murdered. When authorities found him, he'd been boiled and eaten. The murderer was never found.

After King Ghidorah's passing Rodan was quoted as saying. "We've lost one of the best and brightest today. A consumate professional who looked out for everyone, he was everybody's big brother and we loved him for it. Ghidorah is gone and it seems the world is poorer for it."

When asked about how she landed her one-time role opposite Godzilla, Biollante had this to say:

"It was my mom, actually, who told me they were auditioning people to play the major antagonist in the next Godzilla movie. I'm not a professional actress or anything, but Godzilla was like a total legend... I had to give it a try, even just for the thrill of knowing I had auditioned. Then to my surprise, practically the minute I walked through the door, they told me 'you're hired'. I was ecstatic.

When asked why she never made any future appearances in the Godzilla franchise, Biollante had this to say:

"They've offered a few times, even just for a cameo in Final Wars... But that's not who I am anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy I did it and it's an experience I'll never forget, but now that I have a family it's harder for me to just run off and do a movie for a few months. They put me in one of the video games though, so that was awfully sweet of them. It was quite a surprise seeing my kids playing a Godzilla game and shouting 'look mommy, it's you!'"

Nicolas Cage cites Godzilla as a major inspiration in his method of acting, going so far as to saying, that many of his best moments were stolen from the "G-Man".

He regrets not having had the chance to work with his idol so far.

Gorosaurus disappeared into world of martial arts, rumor has it he's started his own dojo focusing on drop kicking the crap out of your enemies.

Whatever happened to The Giant Claw?

Remember when King Kong tried to start a music career? He had a couple of singles he released on records back in the day. I think he had talent, but his lyrics were so uninspired.

>>36012847
The Giant Claw... had a hard life.

Oh, I'm glad he's landed okay.

I ran into the Giant Ants from Them! at the last Emerald City Comic Con. They're getting on in years, but they were total bros who made sure to sign every autograph, even with the long line.

Firm handshakes, too.

I saw Reptilicus at the grocery store the other day...poor guy looks like Hell.

I mean, he was thin before, but WOW...

After the success of the 1968 film, Godzilla and co-stars decided to pick up women at the local swimming pool.

"Yeah, was just the guys. Minya was at school, Manda, Mothra and Kumonga where on a girls day out, Ghidorah was busy doing voice work for commercials, and Varan was still in his comma. We invited Rodan... but since the death of his first wife in '56, he has since told us Rodan's mated for life and would never find a new mate..."

>>36012856
Remember his ill fated team up with Rick James?
I think those two must have paid for a columbian hospital with all the cocaine they did. I heard kong was so high he could barely stand for a week.

Destroyah now living as an air traffic controller in Houston Texas, was very reminiscent when asked about his one time role opposite Godzilla

"Man if i could turn back time and relive those days I'd do it in a heart beat. I mean i was surprised that Godzilla pulled some strings to get my kids in the movie, I thought he was just another big shot, but he really cares about his costars. I have nothing but respect for that monster. I wanted to get back in the game for final wars but I couldn't just uproot myself for that long of time."

Despite being from a different company, Ultraman still shared roots with Godzilla through Eiji Tsuburaya. During Godzilla's down time, he appeared in the first two Ultra shows, UltraQ as Gomess and in Ultraman as the monster Jiras.

"Godzilla was a riot on set. If one of us flubbed a line, he'd play off it and go on a babbling rampage. He was such a good friend. Sad to hear his Legendary picture film may or may not actually be taking place."

>>36012871

After his first and only film flopped at the box office, the Giant Claw took to the drink in a bad way. "It got to the point where you'd see him at 8 AM and he'd be on beer #5," says friend and fellow 1950s actor The Thing From Another World. "We kept urging him to check into a clinic, but by then they'd gotten him hooked on smack."

The Giant Claw was found dead of a heroin overdose in a ditch in San Bernadino in 1962. He was 27.

"Who the fuck let him into the studio?"
>WARGH HUUUR DADDY!?

After the flop of the sequel to the rebootation of Godzilla, Megaguirus decided to start his own restaurant in Osaka, Japan. With her business ( Jazmine Noodles ) being successful, she now resides with her wife and two dogs in a nice mansion. The former-star has mentioned in an interview in 2003 that she'd love to try and re-work the film once more before quitting acting forever. But alas, the odds of that happening are zero.

"OH GOD, GET HIM OFF ME! HE ISN'T EVEN A CHILD! HE'S FOURTY FIVE! JESUS CHRIST! WHY IS MY NECK GETTING WET!?"

"Not many people know this, but us HamHams got our big break thanks to Godzilla. Sure, we had a popular show amongst young girls, but then Godzilla came into our office onday, and said 'Ever try to pander to the boys too?'. Boom, we're making a contract and we got exclusive figures thanks to him."

She also speaks out at gay pride rallies, using her former star status for attention.

Whatever happened to Barney?

When recounting the times Godzilla pitched in at the studio, Lum Invader of Urusei Yatsura commented.
"He was always there, willing to lend a hand. He'd sometimes accidently walk in on camera, but no one really cared. To us, he was family. After a few times of accidental photobombing, we just let him full out cameo and sponsor some episodes with his other monster co-stars."

You know, the Giant Squid from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea helped get RDJ get off of drugs? Apprarently the went to the same NA meetings.

Whenver Kong would try to take RDJ clubbing, the Squid would gently put a tentacle on RDJ's shoulder to remind him of where a night with Kong would lead.

RDJ says the Squid saved his life.

Anguirus was just some hired Studio help back in 1954, when they decided to make a Godzilla movie. Anguirus was one of the first people to heckle Godzilla's preformance. A year later, Anguirus and Godzilla where trading blows, but have since put that behind them, and now are still best friends.

"You know... I was supposed to team up with the guy. But due to his time at Marvel, Cartoon Network and the big screen, we hardly met. From what I can tell he was a nice guy."

What are the Mechas like?

Gabara is arguably one of the most controversial "stars" among the Kaiju fandom. After appearing in several art-house and independent movies, "Godzilla's Revenge" seemed like just the thing he needed to launch himself into the mainstream. Unfortunately the movie performed very poorly at the box office and was almost universally panned by critics. Gabara's career never recovered. All his later roles were in low budget B-movies, often under heavy prosthetics and costumes that left him unrecognizable.

Despite it putting an end to his mainstream movie career before it had even started, Gabara admits to enjoying working on the film and remains humble in the face of his critics. He is usually the first to point out the film's many flaws and, to this day, promises to refund anyone out of his own pocket if they admit to paying money to see it in theatres.

In another interview with Empire, Leo, son of the world famous Mothra herself, had this to say on shooting his debut role, Rebirth of Mothra "Oh man, Ghidorah, that guy.... when I first told my mom I wanted to follow her footsteps, she went right over and picked up the phone, 'I know this guy,' she said, 'best actor you could ever work with.' So I meet him and... what can you say? It's like meeting Darth Vader or the Joker, and then finding out that they are the best mentor a guy could ask for. The studio wanted a new look for him, so they got these fake legs. You should have seen the look on his face, but he never said a word against it. I think I understand why now. He wanted me to get my big break, to really show what I could do.
I loved working with him so much, so much that when I got to the third movie I told the studio, 'Only one monster is big enough for the job, and if you put him in that suit again I will fly off set.' He finally got to shine, and I gave it my all for that big finish. At the end he just said, 'Good job kid, I couldn't ask for a better co-star.' He gave me a tap on the shoulder that always seemed a little weak, and then said. 'Go get 'em kid.' And I laughed and I.....
When mom told me he... I mean, I was so excited to see him when he said that he was in that movie that.... It was losing dad all over again...."
The interviewer recalled that he perked up quickly, clearing his throat and acting like nothing had happened.
"But hey, he wouldn't want me to be sad! 'Go get 'em kid, that's what he said, and that's what I'm going to do! I'll show the world, he wouldn't want it any other way."

Kiryu was a child actor.

Had alot of enthusiasm, though. Always gung-ho, ready to roll. A professional, even at that age. The way his eyes lit up when he met Godzilla...heartwarming as Hell.

Following War of the Gargatuas, the green gargantua went into politics. Becoming the mayor of santa monica, after rampant corruption he fled to south america in shame.

His brother, meanwhile, now runs a successful turnip farm in Idaho.

When asked if he would ever return to movies, he stated that he has found peace with the land.

The Stay Puft Marshmallow man died in a freak s'more accident while making an appearance at Camp Oniwakamu. As of now authorities are ruling the death as accidental, but family members are pushing police to go foreward with a homocide investigation.

In a recent documentary titled "Atomic Age: The Dream Behind The Screen" The Beast from 20,00 fathoms had this to say-

>Well I guess I'm just a trendsetter, it seems like every other day someone comes up to me and says "Hey, are you The Beast?!" and almost every time I blush and chuckle, responding "Ha, yeah that's me". For awhile I didn't really enjoy the attention and fame- that is, until I met Godzilla."

>"He was still just a kid it seems back then, he caught me after a quick news interview, and he said that he was my greatest fan, and that my work made him want to act. At that point I knew it all was worth it. So a couple weeks later surprisingly enough, Toho calls me up and it's Tanaka himself, asking me if I knew any talent. I remembered Godzilla, and needless to say the rest is history"

>"It's about the kids, it's always been about the kids. And it makes me a happy old man to know that Godzilla still tries his best to reach out to and help the youth."

The Beast died days later in his San Francisco home from heart failure. His open casket funeral had an overwhelming attendance of 500,000 featuring speeches from Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera and the late Ghidorah.

"Minya was a special needs kid that the Make a Wish foundation had gotten involved with. He had both autism, though most folks didn't know what that was back then, and leukemia. Nice kid, even though he had autism you could tell he really loved what he got to do. He was a challenge to work with, and movies that featured him took a different direction than I was used to, but it was well worth the effort to see him smile every day he was in the studio. When cancer took him from us, I really didn't know what to do. I sat in my studio trailer for a week straight, just staring at the wall." - Godzilla: The Monster Behind the Movies edition of TIME

Tyrannosaurus at the Hollywood Retirement Home for Monsters in 1986 reminiscing on fellow actor Allosaurus and WWII:

"When the Depression hit, all the monsters had trouble finding work. RKO got us work on King Kong and there were always work in travel shorts and live action performances, but times were still tough. And even Kong felt the punch, he burned through his money so fast he did some unauthorized films in Japan.

"Allosaurus and I made a living doing museum gigs and even film testing for Disney's Rite of Spring. I remember we were traveling to Pittsburgh when Pearl Harbor was bombed. When Allosaurus heard about that on the radio he exploded. He started ranting about those 'Damn monkey-faces' and how 'Kong fit right in with them.' Now, I knew Allosaurus was always a little racist, he'd always be cracking racist jokes about the Ape-Men on any films we were in, hell, we all laughed at them. But THIS, he kicked a wall down, flipped a Duesenburg, and said he was going to 'Kill those Jap sons of bitches.' After that, he became impossible to work with, like a switch had been flipped. A few months later he enlisted and we went our separate ways. I never spoke with him again."

(Allosaurus was killed on Kwajalein Atoll in 1944. His son went on to his own acting career. Tyrannosaurus died in 1989, survived by his son and grandson, both actors.)

Oh god. My heart. It breaks.

The water is everywhere!

Kamoebas' life was sadly cut short when his Chevy was hit by a drunk driver on the Los Angeles Freeway.

His close friend Gamera spoke at his funeral, proclaiming that the world lost a great turtle that day.

A longtime lobbier against nuclear power, Godzilla was reportedly crushed when the 2011 tsunami rocked Japan.

>"I was New York at the time on business." Godzilla said. "I can clearly remember turning on the TV in my hotel room and seeing Kuji completely underwater. At first, I thought they were running one of the old movies but it slowly hit me that the devastation on screen was real. It was a very surreal experience for me."

Godzilla and many of his former co-stars held a fundraiser to aid in the relief effort

>>36014351
This is both heartbreaking and hilarious...

"The thing you need to understand about Anguirus is that he was a goddamned nut. And was downright infectious when it came to it. Somewhere in the old ToHo archives there's footage of me and him doing a Tango through the shattered streets of Tokyo. Goddamned Nut."
-MechaGodzilla

Two facts few people know about Iris, one, that she's actually terribly shy, and two, that she had a massive crush on Gamera. It got so bad, that the first day she met him for rehearsals, she kept stammering and flubbing her lines.
And yet, Gamera never seemed to be bothered by this, often breaking character just to do something silly and make her laugh. She will often tell the story of when a particularly bad fit of stammering occurred, he stopped right there, pointed to her, and challenged her to a flight around the building. She was confused, but accepted, and the resulting race ended up being the inspiration for the films climactic aerial battle. She never flubbed a line again.
They eventually became good friends, and if the tabloids are to be believed, a little more for a short time. They still keep in contact, and to this day they often meet once a year, just to race again.

"Having a successful big brother is hard. It's a really complex relationship. I remember getting into a huge argument with our dad about me going off to Tokyo and trying to make it in movies. My brother gave me my big break, but I still remember the fights we had on set about my role and look."

"I told him, 'I know I'm a better actor than you are! You just don't want me to be successful!' I remember that he just gave me a look and left the trailer. After that, the makeup staff let me have pretty much complete control over my touch-ups. The movie flopped and I went back home, but I found out a few years later that it was Godzilla that went and told them to do whatever I wanted. He also talked to the director for the scene changes I thought were better and financed the project out of his own pocket when the investors bailed. It was a $10,000,000 gift to his little brother. I'll never forget it. Now he comes back home during the summer with my nephew and helps me run the business since dad's gone. We still joke about my big movie."

During a 1970s Dean Martin roast of Godzilla, Don Rickles got the chance to speak to him for a few moments. "Nice guy. He was a good sport and gave back what I dished out. Nothings better then that." They recently met during Godzilla's cameo in the next toy story movie.

Ogra, Gorgo's mother, didn't want to take part in the movie that became gorgo. But when she saw the enthusiasm in her son's face she agreed to make the movie, as long as her son got a part too.

Godzilla spoke of the first time he met Guilala in his autobiogrophy, 'Breaking Buildings and Building Barriers'
"Just after his movie got out I spotted him outside a train station, looking pretty lost. So I help him out and start up a conversation.
And let me tell you, I thought 'I' was crazy? This guy was on a whole other level, we're talking straight up nuts! I never worked with him, though I made the offer once or twice, but wow, just from the brief time I met him. More energy that a dozen atomic breaths, that's for sure. He also thought the government was following him for some reason, but I never pressed further on that. When I heard he got into commercials and then got his own movie I called him up to say congratulations. He screamed something about a probe and hung up.
We haven't seen hide nor hair of him since."

And in our newest breaking news story for tonight, it seems "the King" has died. Authorities have found King William Kong, dead at the age of 79. Not from airplanes, or tanks, or even the drugs he was well-known for; field reporter Lara Logan is here live at the scene, with details on what have happened. Let's take a look.

>"I'm here live at San Fransisco, in the downtown Chinatown area. As you can see behind me, the US military has been called on the scene, as well as local authorities, to investigate. Around 1AM last night, the body of King Kong, the former big monster movie star, was discovered in his chair at the back of The Big One, the world- famous bar that caters exclusively to monsters of all kinds. So far, no one is sure what has happened, but it has been confirmed that King Kong was last seen at this bar with former co-star and friend, Godzilla. Police and military officials have declined to state whether or not there is any correlation.

A one time wrestling star Jet Jaguar, now turned actor, had this to say about his time with the Godzilla cast.

"When I first got to the set I felt like a prop, someone who wasn't meant to be there. Then I met Gigan, this crazy motorcycle punk with an need for fun made me feel right at home on the set.
>Did this "fun" you speak of have anything to do with drugs?
"No, unbelievably. Gigan nor my self never did any form of drug in our lives. My brother Ultraman, Gigan, Godzilla, and I wold some times hit up the local bar for some pool and drinks but it never got any where near Kong's benders."
"Pretty much everyone on the set was great and friendly. Now Titanosaurus, he's a different story, he was my old rival from my wrestling days and just as mad and crazy as his wrestling persona would make him out out be. We did really fight a lot out side of the ring and then was no different. As I was walking home from the first day on the job he jumped me in a alley and we fought for a good 30 minutes. Neither of us could show up on stage for days after that.

>>36015818
Guess King Kong in Space didn't get greenlit after all. Shame, I'm SO SURE that would have resurrected his career. He even said a few months ago some real star power behind it, like fucking Pauly Shore.

>>36016212
Let's wait a day or two before being shitty to Kong, okay? Dude made some mistakes, but he was an innovator, and he had a family.

>>36015818

Wow. Didn't expect to see you here yet. Godzilla's gonna be bawling his eyes out when he hears about this. But don't worry; he'll be sad for a good while but it'll remind of the monster he's working to be: a monster who can serve our role to the next generation. Someone who can be a mentor to someone struggling to figure out their place in this big, crazy world.

Pull up a seat Kong, it's our turn to be the audience.

>>36015818
>confirmed that King Kong was last seen at this bar with former co-star and friend, Godzilla
Oh fuck, I can almost imagine. A few snide remarks there, a shove or two there, a racist comment about Ghidorah's ethnicity there- Kong was always good at pushing the right buttons to piss people off.

>>36015818
Why.

>King Kong was last seen at this bar with former co-star and friend, Godzilla

Oh God, that's the angle they're going with this? There's no way.

>>36015818
If you ask me Kong died years ago, when he gave up. He committed slow suicide, poisoning himself for decades. Hopefully now he'll find the peace he could not find in life, my condolences to his children.

Saw this the other day... Thoughts?

The Chief of Police issued this statement on the Kong body;

"We are treating this investigation as top priority due to Kong's body-size. As of now, there are no indications of foul-play but the autopsy has only just begun."

As he gave this statement the entire Kong-apartment complex was tented-off from media coverage. Speculation is that King Kong owed money to the Yakuza Crime Families, but Police have not commented on this.

Unconfirmed reports have Godzilla knocking down condemned buildings in a rage and muttering to himself about "failing to stop something", by the time newcopter had arrived eh was nowhere to be found there was no sign of the reptilian star, but some footprints seemed to be there under the debris of buildings that were not scheduled for demolition till next week.

>>36010413
They both happened anon
After opening the clinic he had the motorcycle accident...

Oh boy a Godzilla thread, I can't wait t-

>Feels everywhere

Fuck

During an interview with Godzilla in 1988, he was asked if he would ever work with King Kong again. Zilla replied;

"A lot of the producers at Toho have always toyed with the idea of making a proper sequel to our versus film, but I think if we would ever do it, it would be with Son of Kong. The producers have talked to him and he seems to be getting his acting career into the spotlight, so he is really the new star. His father was great to work with... but there were... problems on set. On camera, he was hard but off camera... things got worse. He was a legend in the business and ten years my senior so I always looked up to him and we were able to get passed most of our various differences, but because of his rocky relationship with Toho, we really lost touch the moment filming ended. Then I head a lot of friends here at home that needed me spiritually because of their own personal demons. It wasn't until recently that I heard he was blacklisted in Hollywood and things were getting worse all the time. I took part in the third intervention, I flew out to L.A. and everything. That's when I met his son. We stay in touch and I've told him to call me if there is ever trouble, but even he is not in touch with Kong anymore. I wish I could have done more for him, but now he needs to save himself."

I heard that they started developing a film together sometime in late 89, but after King Kong's heart attack scare in '92, the project got dropped out of respect.

>>36013987
In the documentary "Puff'd" released in 2006 with interview footage filmed in 1994, aging "star" King Kong had this to say;

"Marsh was murdered. No doubt about it. How do I know it? They asked me to do it. Gave me a briefcase full of money, told me that I needed it. But I didn't need *censored* I know what I'm doing, I got everything going for me..."
(the rest of the rant was cut due to time)
"-ut you know, I'm no snitch. You'll never get it outta me, but I'll tell you this much, it was no accident. They didn't awant him araound no mo'. Just like they tried to get rid of me but I'm still here. And *censored* Jet Jaguar!"*


*In case you didn't know, Jet Jaguar dissed Kong on his first single of his second album released in '93 called "Don't Fear tha Jaguar". The diss track was all about not showing respect to Godzilla or something stupid like that.

Is someone saving this thread?

>>36019072
Asked about his hip hop beef with Kong, Jet Jaguar had this to say after the late star's passing;
"Everybody who was at Toho liked to talk about Kong. He was a legend before he ever came to Japan, and he just got more infamous when he left. Um... Zilla always respected him but I didn't. Not after what I heard about how things were on set for them. I made this one track calling out people I thought were fakes... or y'know, just in general dicks. He got pretty furious over it. He didn't expect it and he was actually really hurt by it. And that caught me by surprise. He started calling me out in interviews and I was like, what the fuck does this old geezer think he's doing? I could destroy him (snaps finger) like that! Y'know what I'm sayin? But, Godzilla is my bro and he respects him and when my album came out, he asked me not to talk about Kong on wax anymore. So I never answered back even though I wanted to at a certain point. We never really talked after that either. But I was saddened to hear about his death, it would have been better if we could have buried the hatchet, you know?"

The Kong Family website just released this:
"Dear friends, family and fans. Today you might have heard the sombering news that broke my heart. My father, the legendary "king of monsters" King Kong has passed away. I have noticed that the media are turning this into a circus, interviewing anyone they can and speculating as much as possible. But I hope you understand that we do not know anything as of yet. My father had gotten in touch with me and last time we spoke, he was not only sober but happy with life. It's true that right before passing away, he was meeting with Godzilla and they were burying the hatchet. Unbeknown to most, their relationship had taken a turn for the worse in later years and both were hoping of getting back together, both in reality and in film. You might have heard rumors of Kong's directional debut as well as Godzilla and Pauly Shore having a role. All of this was true. It was a project we were hoping of announcing at San Diego Comic Con. We do not know if the project will continue, but that is what my father... our father would have wanted. I hope you will choose to remember him as the young actor who got his first start in cinema in one of the greatest movies of our time and as an older gentleman who died at peace with his life and not as the party animal he was played up in stories and on the news. My father was not perfect. Far from it. But he tried his best and always gave his best, even when he felt crushed and destroyed, he kept on going. And I hope most of us can try to respect that and with him, respect his work and try to forget the tales that have immortalized him in a negative light. Because deep down, although he would never admit it, he really cared what you all thought of him and I would like to think of him happy somewhere out there, that he is finally remembered for something good."
-Son of Kong, April 2012

This is Brian Williams with NBC News - we've received word on the Kong autopsy. Toxicologists are reporting high levels of oxycodone in the bloodstream, resulting in traumatic asphyxiation and cerebral hemorrhaging. The chief of police is expected to rule the death an accidental overdose at a press conference to be called within the hour.

For those of you just joining us here at NBC, the legendary screen and stage actor William C. "King" Kong has passed away sometime today, from an apparent painkiller overdose. An often controversial figure due to his offscreen antics, he was nonetheless beloved by generations of children and adults all around the globe. He was 87.

Jeff Bridges spoke briefly about Kong death.

"Yeah the guy had his problems, man. Everbody's got their demons, but Kong, his demons just wouldn't let him go. He was like watching a train wreck happening, you can't do a damn thing to stop it no matter how hard you want to. It's heavy man, death, it's a heavy thing. I don't know what else to say, I mean, I worked with him for two movies and he was difficult as hell, but there was good there deep down. I think he just buried it himself, pushed down the good parts of him, pushed them down so far that even he forgot they were still there. I can tell you one thing though, now that he can face them, he's probably snapping those demons jaws. Rest in peace Kongster, I'll save a drink for you."

>This thread man, it's started as a mistake, a joke for the other godzilla thread posted in the wrong tab, and now it's full of so many feels.

This is what makes /co/ great.

>>36019652
People close to Kong are saying he was peaceful, calm and sober near the end but TMZ are tweeting that they are going to release a conversation Kong had moments before he died where he is furiously yelling racial slurs at an intern. His speech was also slurred...

Gorosaurus who, co-stared with Kong in one of his Toho films, was quoted as saying this in response to his death.

"Kong was mean, belligerant, racist son of a bitch. But when push came to shove he would do what's right. Kong had his problems, and made damn sure everyone knew, but he was also in his own way a decent guy. I kept him sober through the entire film, even after all my scenes were filmed, kong asked me to stay on to give him a swift kick in the face if he even looked at a bottle. Yeah, Kong was a mess, but he tried to change he worked hard to change. But some demons are just really hard to overcome. I feel conflicted about his death, on the one hand he's at peace, but on the other he let his demons swallow him up. I wish his family well and I hope they can get throught this. That's all I have to say."

>>36019964
Many of Kong's former coworkers claim that TMZ is delaying the video in order to doctor it.

At least one monster advised the video-tabloid to "Watch their Geiger counters"

>>36020200
I can totally believe this with TMZ being the assholes that they are.
I'm still pissed that they posted those Mothra nip slips all over the Internet a few years back. Just because they used to make movies doesn't mean they should be followed 24/7 like that.

>>36019955
>This is what makes /co/ great.

That sure says a lot.

everyone talks about Godzilla's brilliant career, but nobody wants to talk about their participation in the last great war. the media are silent, there are many interests at stake

Megalon was always kind of a dick, but he was a smart dick. The guy never had money issues, even before some of the shit he worked on, but that dickness really kept him from getting anywhere in the film industry. Good with numbers, bad with people.

I think he was spotted posting on /jp/, actually.

Thank you /co/. Nothing is better then this after a hard week of work. Good night.

Mecha-Kong is currently being held in San Quentin state prison, on charges of aggrevated assult and attemted muder. Mecha-Kong's case has been long since scrutinized as a miscarrige of justice, others deriding the fact tat Mecha-Kong was railroaded to a guilty verdict.

His legal team is still working on his appeals.

>>36021194

lol

Really sad to hear about Kong's death. I for one was rooting for him to recover his career and sanity.

Sigh... drugs and hard partying take another soul, at least he lived through the dark 80's and 90's.

Too progressive too soon, they said. Then again, the I'm guessing we have the backlash from that to blame for no more male monsters trying to pull a female monster.

At least not to my knowledge.
