The original Godzilla movie was recut and dubbed for American audiences, and it is wonderfully creaky, silly fun, with weak, even for the era, special effects, poor lip-synch, and spliced-in scenes of Raymond Burr as an American reporter to make the movie more palatable to American audiences. There’s a fire-breathing giant lizard destroying Tokyo and a bunch of scientists, soldiers and bystanders trying to survive. Enormously popular and influential, Godzilla, King of the Monsters was followed by many sequels and remakes and birthed an entire genre of films.
