Is King Seesar a larger version of the puppet used as the cat demon in Uninvited?

Once again, it seems I must come to the defense of my favorite rubber monster.  Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is one of my favorite G-flicks.  The old Mechagodzilla rules, it's the grooviest G-villain since Gigan.  And the new Mechagodzilla is a damn wuss in comparison.  Long live old-school Godzilla!.

Squishy

It may be blasphemy, but I like the "King Seesar" song more than the "Mothra" song. (Both are included on "The Best of Godzilla: 1954-1975" CD from http://www.gnpcrescendo.com) It's doubly funny if you understand a little Japanese; the priestess sounds like she's coming ON to the giant mutt. Ugh.

In my humble opinion, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is the best Godzilla movie so far. Sure, King Seesar looks like he came straight from Toho's monster rejects (I'm sure the artists had a better look for this guy)and Mechagodzilla's death was a bit ridiculous (I guess Godzy missed the Do not Twist Head warning sign)but it has its moments (watching Godzilla and Seesar use each other as a shield from Mecha's weapons is hilarious, as is Seesar's so-called defense mechanism)Personally, this movie should have gotten at lwast one more slime than it did, but i won't tell you how to do your job.

Oh puleeeeeeze, Godzilla fans! "This is the best of the Godzilla movies, except for... and the.. and that.... oh, yeah and the..." Your best is littered with a hundred compromises? The best isn't listed: Godzilla 2000.

This outing features a nice, strong story with an actual sense of mystery to it.  Outside of the goofball moment when King Cesar's ear stick up this one is as serious in tone as the early Godzilla films, a real step away from the kiddie pop flicks.  My favorite part in this move is when the skin from MechaGodzilla gets ripped of and the shimmering metal is first exposed.  Godzilla does a double take that is just classic, on little movement gets across that he isn't a brain dead mutant, that there are actually brain cells ticking away in that there cranium of his.

FYI Toho did NOT create King SHISA!

The "Pekinese" as he was called here is actually a LION god of protection of Okinawa.  Toho made a horrible suit based on the statues of the creature which can be found all over Okinawa (goto Okinawa.com if you don't believe me!) and renamed it Seesar for Copyright reasons. (read: They couldn't copyright the ancient legend of Shisa, though you can tell it is still SHI-SA in the the song).  

Don't rag on King Shisa if all you know of him is what you saw in this infernal film!


Cant Blame The WANG!

HEY!!To all you G-fans..This movie IS one of the few "laughfests"ever to see.In fact Mechagodzilla is my #1 baddie of the bunch and would love to see him(?)whup on so-called "king"Ghidrah-now THAT would ROCK!!However we all must honor the one hit wonders like Seesar(plus Varan the unbelievable,Titanosaurus and JetJaguar.)By the way,has anyone seen the OTHER mothra twin??

This 1974 classic was truly one of the finest movies that I had ever seen.  To see King Seesar and Godzilla team up and defeat Mechagodzilla as convincingly as they did was sure worth it.

*sniffle*  Darn you, Ranting, why did you have to go and destroy all my illusions?

Possibly the most blood in a Godzilla movie.My sister thinks that godzilla looks like a giant terd.(MY SISTER IS A FAT DISGUISTING PIG!)She calls seasar:"Seadog",Mechagodzilla:"Megagodzilla.But enough about my stupid sister!This G Flick is Fair.The monkey men from space are my fav.aliens in a Godzilla movie,next to the cockroach people in GODZILLA V.S.GIGAN.

I love all of the Godzilla movies I saw but this was one of my favorite movie.I also noticed that it was freseing a little soyou mite want to do something about that.

Hey Andrew, don't diss Seasar, Pek's are mean ass little dogs, I hate them. Only those damn weiner dogs have worse tempers.

I bought this movie when I was 8 and haven't really watched it since the 5th grade. Think i might watch it again. Also, for you former Power Ranger freaks, remember the Dragon Zord from the first season? The missle fingertips were a dead-on rip off from this movie. See also King Kong vs. Godzilla for more Godzilla fun.

Haven't seen this one in a while, but I recall it being among my favorites. I felt sorry for poor Angilas/Anguirus though . . . he'll be eating soft food for months after what Mechagodzilla did to his jaw.
