This thread is basically "What if the most disappointing 50s-60s giant monster/alien invasion movie is made in Japan by Ishirô Honda, Tomoyuki Tanaka, Akira Ifukube and Eiji Tsuburaya. It'll work like a caption contest I post the first movie title and everyone else tries to come up with the best idea what the film would be like if made in Japan during its golden age of Sci-Fi, the person with best idea wins and he/she picks the next movie to hypothesize about etc.
So lets start
What would Attack of the 50 ft. Woman be like if made in Japan?
This makes me wanna' resurrect my idea for Godzilla Vs. Emanuele crossover, but I guess that's not quite what you're looking for.

Not really. Sorry about that.
I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept...all I can imagine is that that the Japenese films had a bizzre sense of otherworldliness to them...I would think the 50 foot Woman would have some kinda weird radiation breath ...or eye vision weapon. And be pitted against some other crazy giant creature. Like,the aliens would enlarge Yvette Vickers charecter ...and the two could have a Tokyo crushing catfight! Maybe Yvette could shot radioactive donut rings (like Minya's) from her nipples!!! Now THAT would be wild!!! :buggedout:

Holy crap that would be really cool but I'm looking for something more probable.
In Kronos, the film about a giant energy absorbing robot from outer space, the threat would have been countered by our own giant robot - most likely piloted by someone.

Uh, sorry but the thread/game doesn't work that way.

Probable?? :question: Your talking TOHO movies and Attack of the 50 Foot Woman!
Have you ever seen FRANKENSTIEN CONQUERS the WORLD? WAR of the GARGANTUAS? How about The BEGINING of the END...with Chicago over run by giant grasshoppers? GRASSHOPPERS. Giant
I don't think a giant Yvette Vickers is so weird,in comparison.

Yes I have seen those and what I meant by proabable in the context of time it would be made and the fab four would execute it. While I think your idea is awesome it sounds to much like a hentai to count.
If they made Attack of the 50 Foot Woman in Japan 50's and 60's style, there would probably be no sexy to it at all. She would probably walk very softly, careful not to rudely step on anyone or anything. She would also cover her mouth when she laughed and throw up the two finger peace sign and a huge simle as the press snapped photos of her for the next day's edition. All of this while accompanied by awesome baritone brass theme music and underlying social commentary about nuclear weapons.
By the end of the movie, the Japanese self defense force finds a way to separate her from her cell phone, which is her fatal weakness. Unsure of how to function without it, she collapses in the street and a bunch of parentless children in REALLY short shots jump for joy.
Cue credits.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Any one want to see if they can top that.
