GODZILLA VS. SPACEGODZILLA / Toho Company - 1994

One good turn deserves another around here! I have a double Godzilla feature with Destoroyah and SpaceGodzilla, so, guess whazzup today?! After this post, I'll put the DVD up for sale on eBay since we've now reviewed both titles...

Our story goes like this... Godzilla is threatened by two new forces. First, there's Mogera, another giant robot war machine built by the UN, then, SpaceGodzilla, a beast spawned from Godzilla's particles in space!

The first Godzilla movie I ever saw at the theater in the early seventies, at a drive in. It's a little weird, but, I don't even remember seeing a poster for any Toho movie in the fifties or sixties in our little town! TV was to only way to catch one.

Here's the war machine, Mogera, as it gets ready for testing. If it looks familiar, well, that's because it was designed to resemble the MYSTERIANS' giant robot from 1957!

Great shot of the big guy leaving the sea and making his way yet again onto Japanese soil.

After SpaceGodzilla crashes to the ground, there's a confrontation between the two behemoths. They seem evenly matched and neither gets a real advantage.

SpaceGodzilla changes back to its crystal form and heads for the city. Once there, the thing crystallizes the area into a nightmare for us Earthlings!

This is my favorite shot... Can you imagine having your day at the theme park ruined because Godzilla was cutting through the lines?!

Mogera shows up and starts firing missiles at the crystal monster from the dark void.

Sometimes, there is nothing more beautiful than utter destruction and/or obliteration!

The long battles continue, Mogera ist kaput, and, after getting his clock cleaned by SpaceGodzilla, our hero plays his ace in the hole. He reaches into his core and pulls out his winning powers and blows his foe to freakin' High Hell...

The big guy has done it again... HOORAY!! We're back on Wednesday with more cool junk from... The Dungeon!

GOJIRA VS. DESUTOROIÂ - "Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah" (1995)

Welcome to the first Dungeon Saturday Night Special of 2017! Tonight's flick is a little out of my normal date range, but it's plenty weird and it's a Godzilla movie, so I'm willing to give it a break! The name of Godzilla's foe is translated a bunch of different ways from Destroyer to Destrukto, but I like the French title the best:

"GODZILLA VS. DESTROYAH"

Destroyah sounds like the name of a wrassler or the nickname of a boxer!

You might not ever see a better title card than this!

To make it more believable, they set it in the future by one year!

I'm sure for a meager fee Tabonga would gladly make you a painting of this shot!

 Do you think the dollar sign looking fire coming out of Godzilla's tongue is for no reason? The Godzilla franchise has made multi-gazaillions of dollars over the years with not only movies, but cartoons and video games, and is still growing!

By 1996, they have screwed with Godzilla so much that he is now a living nuclear power plant, and he's getting real close to blowing up, and not only destroying Japan, but the whole world!

 They came to one conclusion at the summit! We're Fucked!!

 Is this not the gingiest TV newsroom ever?

 This movie is not exactly a comedy!

 Any person that has taken basic third grade math knows that this means the world is in deep shit!

Crazy ass radioactive crabs mutate into the full blown Destroyah!

 Galeanthropy, Gamic Gamidolatry, or Gigantomachy? What do you think?

 This is one of the coolest doors I've seen lately!

 Here's a couple more mug shots of Destroyah that I think Tabonga could do wonders with on canvas!

 F R EE Z E!!

Destroyah don't listen to nobody!

 The whole world has gone to Hell in a hand bag, and the powers that be choose to watch a "Godzilla" movie on the big screen TV!  Starting to make sense?

 It's hard to believe that the fate of the whole freakin' world is on the shoulders of a guy with a helmet on his head that looks like a watermelon!!

 And now for the news report from the new and improved Stonehenge!

 "Hey!! What's going on inside there anyhow? You cut that out"

 I only have five things to say! Destroyah is one ugly motherfucker!

 NO, NO, Not THE CLAW!!!!

This is a great shot of Godzilla I think!

I'm guessing that out of the hour and forty-three minutes this movie runs, that a good hour and fifteen minutes is monsters fighting or wandering around, or doing something like that!

Does Godzilla melt down and destroy the whole world? Well, kind of, but not exactly! I'll just say this, there have been at least nine more Godzilla movies made since this one was released, so I think you can figure it out from there!

 I'll leave you with this one last shot of the Elvis of all monsters, and here's a minute and nineteen seconds of proof!!

GODZILLA!

WITCHFINDER GENERAL / Tigon British Film Productions, AIP - 1968

It's Friday and do you know what that means?.. Me neither, so, here another movie starring Dungeon god, Vincent Price. The story is written by Tom Baker and Michael Reeves goes like this... England is torn in civil strife as the Royalists battle the Parliamentary Party for control. The conflict distracts people from rational thought and allows unscrupulous men to gain local power by exploiting village superstitions. One of these men is Matthew Hopkins, played by Vinnie, who roams the land offering his services as a persecutor of witches and is aided by his sadistic accomplice, John Stearne. Hopkins travels from city to city and wrenches confessions from "witches" in order to line his pockets and gain sexual favors! When Hopkins persecutes a priest, he incurs the wrath of Richard Marshall, who is engaged to the priest's niece and risks treason by leaving his military duties. Marshall relentlessly pursues Hopkins til the bitter end.

This movie has a ton of alternative titles including THE CONQUEROR WORM.

I don't exactly know why, but, this movie bores the Hell out of me, I just lose interest quickly.

Ian (THE DAY THE FISH CAME OUT) Ogilvy plays good guy Richard Marshall. Here he is with his military pals, then, he visits his fiancee at her uncle's place.

Here are Matthew Hopkins and his sadistic helper, John Stearne, roaming the countryside, looking for more helpers to aid them in their witch finding efforts...

I threw this shot in because I love British country scenes. When I was a kid I spent time out at my uncle's house in the country. About a half mile away was a large area of trees that fascinated me and I would day dream about walking around there... Kids!!

Here's a nice shot of Vinnie as he contimplates his next devilish move... You dirty dog!

Here, Hopkins uses his power to satisfy his carnal needs!.. You dirty pig!

Hopkins goes too far and and hangs a priest, who happens to be the uncle of Richard's fiancee. This turns out to be a big mistake by Hopkins because Richard is now coming for him!

Richard is searching for Hopkins and comes across a fisherman with the White Cliffs of Dover in the background, nice!

Later, Hopkins takes Richard and his fiancee to a castle that has a special Torture Dungeon! But, Richard is able to kick his way out of his predicament.

In a wild scene, Richard uses his spur to take out Reeves, then, he turns his focus on Hopkins!

Well, good old Hopkins gets a number of ax whacks in the back and eventually goes down for the count... Vinnie will rise from the grave and return to star in his next production, SPIRITS OF THE DEAD!

Welp, it's a sad ending with lives torn apart... The good news is that we're back tomorrow with something special from Eegah!! - Here at The Dungeon!!
