 Godzilla Opens in Japan (1954)The first Godzilla film opened in Japan more than 50 years ago, and its 20,000-ton star, an enormous lizard, has been smashing up cities and towns ever since.

LEADPAL, that chart is awesome! May I have a copy PM'd?
By the way, is it true that Godzilla is now directing commercials in Philadelphia?

Godzilla was edited for the American version to feature Raymond Burr as Steve Martin in the 1956 "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!"
