Hi, Seven:
The original “Godzilla”, with Raymond Burr as reporter, Steve Martin was actually a rather clever idea cooked up by a B-Movie producer (Not Roger Corman, but one of his ilk) who bought the Toho film, “Gojira” and inter-cut scenes with Burr for American audiences.
Absolutely hated the CGI’ed “Godzilla 2000” and later Matthew Broderick re-makes.
If it ain’t some guy in a rubber suit tearing up downtown Tokyo.... It ain’t Godzilla!
Jack.
