The old movie trailer of the week is
Godzilla 1985
When I was a kid this was one of my favorite Godzilla movies. At first it scared me but then I got over it and I was amazed by effects of the film. It was a great return for Godzilla and in my top ten for Godzilla movies.
Brief overview of Godzilla 1985:
Release date: December 15, 1984 (Japan) August 23, 1985 (USA)
Budget: $ 2,000,000
Production Company: Toho Company

Story line: (SPOILER WARNING)
A reporter comes across a ship out on that was believed to be lost at sea. He learns from the only survivor of the boat that Godzilla has returned. The government takes the survivor in custody to hide the truth that Godzilla is back. The reporter continues his investigation to prove Godzilla is back. Well long story short the secret is left out when Godzilla starts to wreck havoc on Japan. But the government was ready for his return ans has a secret weapon and other ways to stop Big G. I'll leave the rest of the story for your viewing pleasure.
Special Affects:
When bring Gidzilla to life they used multiple ways. One of those ways was by the old tradition of suit work but also a 20 ft. computer operated animatronic cybot Godzilla.
