x127 GODZILLA ON MONSTER ISLAND (5/28/98)

INDIGENOUS FAUNA
Story by Takeshi "The First Gas Human" Kimura
Produced by Your Friends At Toho
Directed by Juin "Young Guy in Hawaii" Fukuda

MOVIE
OK, bring on the rubber-suit orgy. What do we get in Godzilla on Monster Island? A whole lot of the increasingly decrepit Godzilla suit, some stock footage, and three oily human protagonists who know when to shut up and point and say "Godzilla!" How to differentiate this movie from others of the genre: the monster/bottle opener Gigan is your opponent o' the day, aided by massive amounts of repeat stock footage of trisexual beastie Ghidrah. The plot gives us aliens living inside a huge 13-bedroom split-level steel-frame Godzilla, complete with a sauna and indoor pool. The three token humans stumble upon the aliens in Walt Disney's House of the Rising Sun, and, with the help of Godzilla's longtime companion, Anguiras, sacrifice life, limb, and two hours of the audience's time to keep the Earth safe for truth, democracy, and skee-ball.

YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO BEAT UP GODZILLA
dungarees> Battery bottoms as you've never seen them before.
Plumm> Meabwhile, in FisherPricyoto...
Ironf> All this equipment just to see what Dave Murphy is always doing
dungarees> I hope this movie doesn't have Michael Caine and a big salami painted pink
Plumm> Just file the story, Kolchak-san.
Ironf> The Japanese Jay Sherman
dungarees> I think SOMEbody has scene too much Sherlock Holmes
dungarees> I don't think we've got enough monsters. Or hooters.
Ironf> Wow Pterry was really hurtin' after Pee-Wee's playhouse
Plumm> what about the monster of hello kitty?
MrBooze> With this Pog, I will RULE THE WORLD!
BEMaven> Why don't they cast another macho American has-been...like Dan Quayle?
Ironf> That's a big gallstone
MrBooze> This is the worst version of America Sings I've ever seen.
dungarees> He's wandered on to the set of the BeeGees Sgt. Pepper movie.
dungarees> Is this a take off on the dance scene in west side story? Where's John Astin?
Plumm> Kerouac, Samurai for Hire.
dungarees> So...he passed out and they decided to make pot sticker dough
MrBooze> Perhaps I shouldn't be poking strangers with my cob.
dungarees> It's a thingy shaped turnip!
dungarees> Hello, I'm here from the Nielsen corporation to get your feelings on bootblacking. Would you say you like bootblacking VERY MUCH?
Ironf> Is that a strung out Raymond Burr drawing on the left?
dungarees> For the honor of Greyskull!
MrBooze> YES!
Ironf> Are they talking?
MrBooze> Just wait...
* MrBooze cracks up
Ironf> ahahahah
* MrBooze does the talking godzilla dance
Ironf> That is so goofy
MrBooze> That's it. They never speak again.
BEMaven> Godzilla...that's Italian, right?
Ironf> That cob guy looks kinda Planet of the Apes like
MrBooze> I'm noticing that it's been 25 minutes and I haven't seen rubber monsters wrestling yet.
Ironf> But you did get to see them talk, so it's a trade off Booze.
Plumm> After Mexican villages and a few beers, Godzilla gets out the lighter for some BlueFlaming Godzilla action.
MrBooze> In Japan, every day at 3pm is banana time.
Plumm> If Timothy Leary were a sumo wrestler who liked bananas.
Ironf> Let's see. Corn on the cob, bananas. This guy has a real phalic/mouth thing going, doesn't he
MrBooze> Keep an eye out towards the end. I believe in this movie they were still using the original Godzilla costume, and it's gotten so ratty that pieces start to fall off.
BEMaven> Godzilla with leprosy?
MrBooze> This old guy is in like every godzilla movie.
Ironf> All Godzilla movies have a crazt old guy in then.
Plumm> This is like the opening scenes of THE EDGE.
Ironf> And Japan's first full sized Risk game commences
MrBooze> Ah!! It's a giant Koosh! RUN!
MrBooze> All japanese armies are armed with giant spotlights.
Ironf> I think that is the LASER RADAR
MrBooze> Ladies and gentlemen: ANGILASSSSSS!
MrBooze> Angilas is like Michigan J Frog. As soon as all these people are gone, he breaks into a rousing version of "Bicycle built for two"
Ironf> They must watch American Gothic over there
dungarees> ORANGE and PINK? ORANGE and PINK?
* dungarees has a fatal fashion attack
BEMaven> Couldn't they pick one decade of fashion and stick with it?
MrBooze> Activating Operation: The goofy game for dopy doctors.
MrBooze> Oh no! We're being invaded by lucky charms!
Plumm> Hubble footage of that rogue planet discovered today.
MrBooze> Whoa, Ghidorah just pulled an Immelman
dungarees> She should know if he's a man; She grabbed his batch 20 minutes ago
MrBooze> She really is the prototype anime girl. Martial arts mistress and all.
Ironf> Did she ask him if he was a man?
BEMaven> Have you seen Polyethelene Pam?
MrBooze> Her outfit is very disorienting.
Plumm> All of the sudden, it's Kurosawa's GLEN OR GLENDA.
dungarees> Screw the heads, I wanna see his two asses.
Ironf> Ghidora is just a whore to be controlled by anyone, isn't he?
MrBooze> Pretty much, though Ghidorah seems much more calm this time around. I think the ritalin is working.
MrBooze> During out intermission, please enjoy some stock footage from "Ghidorah, the three-headed monster"
Ironf> You know, you can't go home unhappy after a day of smashing a bunch of minatures
MrBooze> Last one on the shore is a mothra larva!
Plumm> I saw something the other day, Booze, that the original Japanese ones had word balloons for the monster's talking, but the American dubs had those lame monster voices.
MrBooze> Yup. Word balloons originally.
* dungarees pop up videos Godzilla
dungarees> Man...three heads and a tongue like lightning. I'm guessing Monster Zero is popular with the ladies.
MrBooze> Come on, rees. He's gay.
MrBooze> ghidorah is gayer than new curtains.
dungarees> So was Liberace, and I defy you to find me anyone who was more popular with the ladies than him
MrBooze> Godzilla, whatever you do, you've GOT to keep those monsters away from Shonen Knife!
BEMaven> Now where will the Thai hookers sleep?
Ironf> What is this, Ghidorah seems to be attacking his own team-mate. And WHAT, he's giving the wolfpack sign and is doning the red and black shirt of the NWO!!!
MrBooze> Anguiras! You've never given up on anything in your life! Live! LIVE!
MrBooze> Oh, because THESE people are SO much more interesting than giant fighting monsters.
Plumm> Now, the Griswaldyotos sneak into GodzallyWorld.
Ironf> I hear that in the new Godzilla, Devlin wanted to bring in the Ghostbusters running the Statue of Liberty to fight with it, but that's still just a rumor
MrBooze> I heard that Devlin wants the next godzilla to be accidentally shrunken down by Rick Moranis and then use his lizard-cunning to battle small town injustice.
dungarees> There were these negative battery nodes, and then a Sgt. Pepper tunic, and a Greenpeace Speech, and now there's a Monster Mash.
Plumm> Toho Crichton's "Eastworld."
MrBooze> Gigan is just this guy, you know?
Plumm> But should Gamera be unable to fill his duties as frined to all children, Gigan steps in and assumes that role.
MrBooze> Gigan is acquaintance to all children
MrBooze> Godzilla's being shot at by himself. He's going to need months of therapy to get over this.
Ironf> That's gotta hurt your pride when your own statue attacks you
Ironf> That Fakezilla blew up real good
MrBooze> Watch for the big alien reveal
BEMaven> Godzilla never had to star in "Suburban Commando".
MrBooze> See, this is why Hulk Hogan was so popular, he followed the tried and true godzilla formula: Get the living crap beat out of you for an hour, then suddenly "get your strength back" and kick ass!
MrBooze> Say, godzilla, were we talking earlier? What was THAT about?
dungarees> Who's the monster with a knife for a head?
MrBooze> GIGAN!
BEMaven> Shut yo mouth.
Plumm> Who's the ruby-eyed dick who's a sex machine to all the reptiles?
dungarees> Ruby eyed? Isn't that a bit of a turn off?
BEMaven> His eye? I thought that was his surge protector.
dungarees> Ruby-eyed dick...sounds symptomatic of some pretty virulent VD to me.
Plumm> Or does Gigan have a glass eye like that weird middle school substitute teacher that wore eight gallons of perfume?
BEMaven> I thought ruby eyed dick was the second most popular vibrator.
dungarees> The most popular after the Emerald Twister
MrBooze> Okay, Ghidorah, this is really good for your neck. Try to relax.
Ironf> Oh it's a handycapped tag match
BEMaven> I can't watch this! It's a cruel abuse of latex rubber.
dungarees> Man, Godzilla gives Shane McGowan a run for his money in the non-existant dental hygiene category
MrBooze> All Godzilla and Anguiras really ever wanted was to do a couple laps before bed.
* dungarees learned that there is not plausible explanation for how the 'gorilla' part fits into Godzilla

HE CAN TALK! HE CAN TALK!
"You cheeky pig."
"Ahhhhhhh.... where?"
"Hey, Anguiras! Something funny going on. Better check."
"Who the hell are you people? Wha?"
"He was as thick as two short planks."
"Are you a man?"

JAPANESE TV IN SPOTLIGHT

Most people don't know that these three main characters from Godzilla on Monster Island went on to get their own series on Japanese TV in 1973. "Three Happy Neighbors With Moderate Personal Hygiene" (rough translation) ran on Japanese TV from 1973 to 1977, endearing millions of latent homosexual sararimen, clinically depressed housewives, and headband-wearing cram-schoolers. Known as "the Japanese Three's Company," the plots most commonly revolved around the roommates' misunderstandings with their nebbish of a landlord, Major Kyoshi, a World War II veteran who keeps a collection of American GI thumbs in his trophy case. After the show was cancelled in 1977 in favor of a game show called "Scream Until Vomiting Occurs" (once again, rough translation), millions of otaku kept the show's memory alive with action figures, video games, and, eventually, full-immersion virtual reality pornography.
