Hi Filmmaker2 I also grew up watching the older Godzilla movies in theatres on up through the 70s and ending with Terror of MechaGodzilla in 1975. Then there was a 10 year gap before we in america had the chance to see another G movie in 1985 Godzilla the Legend Reborn was the title. Many fans at first thought it might be a sequel to Terror of MechaGodzilla but as you saw the movie it was infact a sequel to the original 1954 movie. I was 24 by this time. And few years passed and in 1989 a sequel to the 84/85 movie was made Godzilla vs. Biollante then the 91-92-93-94-95 movies were all made none came to the USA. but once fans learned of the movies they saw them. This new set of 7 Godzilla movies was AWESOME. They made the old 60s & 70s Godzilla movies look like shit. The updated monsters were Godzilla Rodan Ghidora Mothra and a new version of Godzillas son. and Mogera. The new monsters were Biollante Godzillasarus Battra and Destroyer even the Mothra Farries were updated. I find it intersting to see young kids who grew up on the Heisei series movies 84-95 now getting to see a 3rd Godzilla series the Shinsei series movies 1999-2004. I am lucky enough to have seen all 3 Godzilla movie series growing up. I am in my mid 40s now and there are only a few of the old Showa godzilla movies imo that are still good today. 1954-1975=Showa

My fave Showa movie is the 1954 Godzilla movie and 1968 Destroy all Monsters. My fave Hesiei movie is Godzilla vs. Destroyer 1995 and then Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 1993 remake
Of the 3rd series the Shinsei series my faves are Godzilla Mothra KingGhidora 2001 movie and Godzillax Mechagodzilla 2002 movie. Now i am going to go see if I can locate an old 1967 july issue of Playboy that has Mie Hama in it.
