He also loved the Godzilla flying scene, as Banno got the OK for it from Tanaka's agent while he was in the hospital.J.

They tried for "art". I think, if I lived in Japan in the early 70s, I might of gotten it, even being a teenager. However, being an American (and having a decade seperate me from the movie when I saw it), it seemed just too strange.<br /><br />That was the disconnect for me.<br /><br />That and Godzilla flying. <br /><br />As I seen it again, I now understand a bit more of what they were attempting in the film. It was ambitious. It ...mostly... works. <br /><br />I think you are spot on in your presentation of the movie. <br /><br />One of my favorite monsters (the opposition), but one of my middle favorite movies in the franchise.
