40 Years of "Godzilla vs. Hedorah": The Men Who Played Godzilla and Hedorah

by Armand Vaquer

Above, Kenpachiro Satsuma (Hedorah) and Haruo Nakajima (Godzilla) take a break during the filming of "Godzilla vs. Hedorah." This still was signed by both actors. From the personal collection of Armand Vaquer.

As posted previously, July marks 40 years since the release of Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971) in Japan.

I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the two men who gave it their all in their portrayals of Godzilla and his foe, Hedorah.

I had the good fortune to first meet Kenpachiro Satsuma (Hedorah) and Haruo Nakajima (Godzilla) at G-FEST 2000 in Hollywood. Since then, I have gotten to know Mr. Nakajima well and attended a dinner party in the Nakano section of Tokyo with Mr. Satsuma in 2001, following the premiere of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Both men are some of the nicest people I've ever met in show business.

Satsuma played Hedorah and other monsters before he took over the Godzilla role in 1984 in Return of Godzilla (a.k.a. Godzilla 1985). His stint as Godzilla ended with Godzilla vs. Destoroyah in 1995.

Above, the Bandai Hedorah toy I bought during my 2007 Japan vacation.

Nakajima's appearance of Godzilla in Godzilla vs. Hedorah was second to the last before his retirement from the role. He began his run as Godzilla in the original 1954 feature. His last appearance as Godzilla was in the following year's Godzilla vs. Gigan. Nakajima published an autobiography of his life and career in Japan last year. He is now a spry 82-year-old.

A tip of the cap to both men and domo arigato gozaimasu!

A Dose of Style - Emma Watson

Hello there lovelies,

Long time no see, how's the family? I actually tried to write this post yesterday. But the Blogger threw a tantrum, and then my laptop threw a tantrum, and then I threw a tantrum, and then I ended up watching four episodes of Stargate:SG1 back-to-back instead of doing something productive. But hey, such is life. Now that the tantrums are all over, I can rave to you about my latest (ok, perhaps ongoing would be the better word) girl-crush.

Emma Watson - probably better known to some as Hermione Granger - has been on my radar for a long time now. I've been a Harry Potter fan since primary school. I was actually the same age as most of the younger actors & actresses at the time the first Harry Potter movie came out. So in a way, I feel like I've grown up with Emma Watson. When I was 13 she was a talented young girl, who seemed a little unsure of herself. Now she has grown into a mature, intelligent woman who exudes strength - and has a killer sense of style to boot.

"I could be 100 years old and in my rocker, but I'll still be very proud that I was part of the Harry Potter films".

[On reporters asking the same questions over and over]: "That's the good thing about them! They all ask exactly the same questions and you can say exactly the same answers! You don't have to think, you can just stand there like a broken record going LALALA."

"The most challenging aspect of this film was the fact that I was trying to take my A-levels at the same time I was filming. So my life was crazy. One minute I was on set, and the next minute I was doing an exam, or reading a textbook, or doing something, so I was a bit all over the place. Sometimes it's kind of hard to juggle both aspects of my life."

[On being a known actress]: "Most people are really nice but some stare, like you're some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings. Even when you take away all the glamour and attention and premieres and everything, it still comes down to the fact that I'm acting."

"I hope my head doesn't get very big. I'm just going to keep my feet on the ground, stick to friends and family and try and lead a normal life."

Emma's style speaks volumes about who she is. She has a very refined, classic way of styling herself, with more modern & edgy elements blended seamlessly into her outfits. I love pieces like the beige trench coat with the studded arms & the one with leather sleeves. But, I think that the biggest key to Emma Watson's style is her attitude. She totally owns everything that she wears. Attitude can make even the simplest styling amazing.

Anyway, I'm trying to admit to shamelessly loving Emma Watson for being a cool, classy lady (who, you know, just happens to be an actress in one of my favourite movie franchises of all time). Emma, if you're ever in Australia & want to have a beer, my door is open. Also, I hope that my (currently non-existent) daughters grow up to admire any actress, that they will admire one like you.

/gushing.

Until next time, xo.

What's Next Up For The Mouse Factory? You Guessed It ... A Bigfoot Movie!

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Source: Collider.com

It seems that the lure of the Bigfoot movie craze is just too much for any movie maker or movie studio to resist ..... even Disney. Move over Mickey, take a seat Jack Sparrow, there's a new property about to be exploited and thy name is Sasquatch ..... well The Yeti to be precise. Yes, since "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become such a huge movie franchise Disney has taken a good look around their theme park for another movie sensation and zeroed in on The Matterhorn.

And what monster pops out at you on The Matterhorn ride? The Yeti. So what monster is going to be the antagonist in the movie based on the ride?

Bingo!

So far the film is in early development but what is known about the script sounds alot like "Escape to Witch Mountain" meets "The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas". A group of five kids are mysteriously drawn to the top of the mountain by a group of Yetis. What the monsters want with the kids at this point is anybodies guess ..... but I'm sure there is a gift shop up there.

Justin Springer (Tron: Legacy) will be producing the film (tentatively entitled "The Hill") from a script by Jason Dean Hall (Spread).

40 Years of "Godzilla vs. Hedorah"

by Armand Vaquer


Seven years ago, the 50th anniversary of Godzilla (1954) was celebrated.

Part of that celebration included the DVD release by Columbia-TriStar Home Entertainment of Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971), along with several other Godzilla movies.

Suddenly, next month marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Godzilla vs. Hedorah in Japan on July 24, 1971. It was released the following year in the United States as Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster.

This is the famous (or infamous, depending upon one's point-of-view) movie in which Godzilla curls up his tail and uses his atomic breath as a rocket engine to fly (!) after Hedorah. Director Yoshimitsu Bannai added the flying scenes to "lighten up" an otherwise dark movie. This was Banno's message movie on pollution.

Right, Yoshimitsu Banno at a dinner party in Roppongi, Tokyo in 2004. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

The movie is quirky in other ways besides the flying sequences. It also contains animated sequences whose intent was to drive home the dangers of pollution along with strange music motifs and bizarre editing.

Tomoyuki Tanaka, the producer of the Godzilla series, was in the hospital at the time Hedorah was made. When he finally saw the finished movie, he reportedly said that Banno ruined the Godzilla series and was determined to never allow Banno to direct another Godzilla movie. This may or may not be a true story. Banno refuted this at G-FEST a few years ago.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah has risen in G-fandom's esteem over the years. The U.S. version (Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster) was featured in the 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.

To this day, Godzilla vs. Hedorah remains an odd entry in the entire series of Godzilla movies. At least one can't say it's dull.

Happy 40th anniversary!

About That Poster...

by Armand Vaquer



Avery Guerra, who has been a good source for "inside" information on the Legendary Pictures/Warner Bros. Godzilla movie project, has this to say about the Godzilla 2012 poster:

I'll squash this before it get's any further. The poster and website are fake. They're just some elaborate prank, fan made, and nothing more. I've checked with a source close to the production and have now had this debunked. I'm sure we'll probably be seeing more such hoaxes up until the time L.P. decides to start releasing materials.

I had my doubts on the poster, but I figured I'd put it out there for everyone to see. At least it got the message boards buzzing for a little while.

Looks like we'll have to wait for the real thing.

New Japanese GODZILLA Video And Manga Bonanza!

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Source: Youtube / Godzilla Gao

You really have to give these (unknown) Japanese Godzilla fans alot of credit. Not only have they built an exact replica of the Godzilla suit from "Mothra vs Godzilla" (Godzilla vs The Thing) but they also run a very cool G site called "Godzilla Gao" and ink a very cool G themed manga (comic) called "Monster's Territory".

Wew! That's some real devotion to the "King of Monsters" there.

Now their website is all in Japanese so I really couldn't find out very much about them, but from what English text the group posted along with their latest video, which is great by the way, I gather that they have been working on their Godzilla suit for 11 years.

11 years!

Well from the video it looks like it's completed and it looks really spot on to the one worn by Haruo Nakajima in the film. The group has also created a really cool King Ghidorah puppet for Big G to interact with.

My advice. Legendary Pictures outta give these guys a look up.

I'm just saying.

Here is the video, plus some older ones of the Godzilla suit being worked on:

Here are a couple of pages from "Monster's Territory":

113 Rare Star Wars Photos Posted Online

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Source: Imgur.com

A whole ton of rare "Star Wars" images have just been posted on the Imgur.com website. The images range from publicity images that were never used, screen grabs from scenes that never made it into the original trilogy, to candid behind the scenes shots. A New Hope, Empire and Jedi are all equally represented here although most of the shots seem to be of Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) who, from these shots, looks like she took every available moment to lay down on the set.

A good deal of the photos have been published in magazines, online and even on trading cards but a few of them I have honestly never seen before.

I wish that I could give credit to whoever put together this great collection of photographs but no name was listed with the gallery.

I have posted 20 of my favorites here:

We Go From BLAIR WITCH To BIGFOOT In EXISTS

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Source: Fangoria

It's another brand new shiny day and guess what? There's another Bigfoot movie on the horizon.

Yes ...... another one.

I keep thinking that they are going to stop ..... but they don't.

This time around it's "The Blair Witch Project" co-director Eduardo Sanchez who wants to reinvent Sasquatch in his new film project entitled "EXISTS" . Here's a quote,

“The film is the first in a trilogy exploring and reinventing the Bigfoot myth,” Sanchez says. “We all remember the terror of watching such classics as THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK, and I look forward to making Bigfoot scary again.”

According to Variety Haxan Films and Amber Entertainment will be ready to start work on "EXISTS" in October with filming to take place at Spiderwood Studios in Austin, Texas. Hellboy's Brian Steele will play the monster which will be designed by Weta Workshop and Spectral Motion.

Yes .... a CGI Sasquatch ....

Here is the plot:

(EXISTS) follows a group of friends who go to a cabin in the woods and are hunted by a Bigfoot-type creature.

Please forgive me if I'm just a little bit underwhelmed by that. Maybe it's because I have read almost if not exactly the same plot outline at two dozen times over the past two to three years.

Eduardo Sanchez may want to bring "scary" back to Sasquatch but unfortunately he'll have to take a number. There is already "Night Claws", "Snowbeast" , "Nightbeasts", "The Mountain Wailer", "Yowie", "Broken Spectre", "The Devil at Lost Creek", "The MOMO Monster", "The Legend of Grassman" , "Blood Forest", "Boggy Creek" and "Sasquatch vs Chupacabra" in the que ahead of "EXISTS".

Catching Up With Rachel Grubb - New Photos By Devon Devoor / Roberto Gamez

It has been way too long since we last checked in with one of our favorite actresses here at MIN the multitalented Rachel Grubb. Since Rachel moved from the frozen tundra of Minnesota to the ... well ..... less frozen tundra of Los Angeles she has been one busy kitten. It is for this reason that we will forgive her for not keeping us updated on all of her comings and goings. We know the girl has to work and work her ass off she does.

Today we have a few photos that Rachel has released to the public by Devon Devoor and Roberto Gamez. In both cases Devoor and Gamez have been able to capture Rachel's raw beauty.

Hats off to Devoor for the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" themed shot ..... it's really creeps

When I say Rachel has been busy I mean it. Check out this list of projects "Scream Queen Campfire", "Bad Girls Burn In Hell", "The Wasteland Horror", "Trick or Eat", "The Locals" and "Bloodstruck". There are actually more but my fingers were starting to cramp.

Here are the latest pics from Rachel's ever growing portfolio:
