Hello everyone, it’s me Peter Lawless again. For the past few days,
I’ve heard rumors about the proposed reboot of the most classic Godzilla
crossover movie of all time. That’s right, I’m talking about KING KONG VERSUS
GODZILLA!!! Also, I’ve heard other rumors about a possible Godzilla crossover
with the 2013 blockbuster, “Pacific Rim”. I’m not sure when these movies will
be colliding soon, however, it got me to think about all the other Godzilla
crossovers that could’ve happened (and for some, probably should’ve happened).
Which is why I’ve created this top ten list to be…
The top 10 Godzilla crossovers with other famous
movie monsters:
For this list, I’ve chosen monsters only (so no Batman versus
Godzilla, even though that would pretty awesome). Also for this list, size
doesn’t matter. So whether it’s a small or large monster, as long as they could
put up a worthy fight or at least find a way to grow to Godzilla’s size, it
makes it on the list. Also I’m leaving out Gamera, mainly because he and Godzilla
are pretty much the same and it wouldn’t be much of a fair fight.
1.
Godzilla versus Gil-Man (Creature from the Black Lagoon)
Reason: In my opinion, this is
a crossover that should’ve happened a long time ago. Both where classic 1954
monster movies shot in black and white. In this crossover, it would perfect to
shoot it all in black and white as sort of a throwback to both the originals.
2.
Godzilla versus Pumpkinhead
Reason:
Since Pumpkinhead is a demon of revenge, I think it would be best to have the
plot circle around Godzilla killing a person’s family and then that person
would ask the old witch to summon Pumpkinhead and use some magic spell to grow
to Godzilla’s size.
It might
seem a bit crazy and ludicrous, but then again this whole list is.
3.
Godzilla versus Predator
Reason: I’ve wanted to see this
kind of crossover for a long time. How cool would it be to see a Predator
fighting Godzilla? The Predator would probably be like Captain Ahab and Godzilla
as Moby Dick. Okay, maybe that’s taking it a bit too far, but I’d still love to
see this sort of thing happen.
4.
Godzilla versus Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th)
Reason:
While I think Godzilla and Predator would be like the story of Moby Dick,
Godzilla against Jason Voorhees would almost be like a reversed David and
Goliath. Jason terrorizes teens at Camp Crystal Lake, Godzilla stomps on over
and breathes his atomic breath on him. There you go, happy ending, roll the
credits!
Actually, I
think this one wouldn’t work so well on the big screen. Maybe it would work as
a Youtube comedy skit.
5.
Godzilla versus Gremlins
Reason: I’ve
loved Gremlins every since I was a little kid, so I think I would gladly pay to
see them fight Godzilla in a theater. While Godzilla has strength in pretty
much everything, Gremlins always have strength in numbers, especially when they
are exposed to water. They also have that one specific gremlin who acts as the
leader of their group or army such as, Stripe from the first movie, or the
Mohawk and Brain Gremlins from the second movie. With these two strengths, the
gremlins might be able to subdue or even overpower Godzilla until the sun comes
up and kills them all.
6.
Godzilla versus The Thing from another world
Reason: I’m
referring to John Carpenter’s Thing and not the 1950’s Thing. The only reason I
used the full title is because Godzilla versus the Thing was already taken by
Mothra in the 1960s. Anyway, I think that this kind of movie would be a slam
dunk for horror movie monster fans seeing the “king” against the “thing” in an
Antarctic boxing “ring”
7.
Godzilla versus Galactus (Fantastic Four)
Reason: For
the record, I’m not using the space cloud version Galactus from the 2007
Fantastic Four sequel because that was just terrible. The Galactus I’m using in
this list is the most popular one from the comics. Because, he is an omnipotent
being he can do anything. His only weakness is an alien device called the
Ultimate Nullifier, which means Godzilla could possibly only slow him down.
This could be a worthy fight for comic book and Kaiju fans
8.
Godzilla versus Aliens (War of the Worlds)
Reason: Just
imagine, the alien tripods from the 2005 Spielberg movie are trying to conquer
the Earth again but this time the only thing in their way is Godzilla.
Who would
win? Well, like Gremlins, these aliens have strength in numbers and
technological superiority, but then again, all Godzilla really needs to do is
sneeze on them and they’re instantly killed from either Earth bacteria or his
atomic breath.
9.
Godzilla versus Zombies
Reason: Also
like the Gremlins and Aliens, zombies always have strength in numbers and can
easily infect Godzilla with their virus from a single bite.
10. Godzilla versus Stay-Puff
Marshmallow Man and Statue of Liberty (Ghostbusters 1 & 2)
Reason: Like
Gremlins, I’ve loved the Ghostbusters movies since I was a kid. So it’s pretty
hard to pick either the Mr. Stay-Puff from the first movie or the walking
Statue of Liberty from the second movie. so I decided to make this crossover
idea into a tag-team both Lady Liberty and Mr. Stay Puff go against the King of
all monsters in a battle for New York City.
Although, we
all now how it would end, right?
Well, that’s it for this top ten list.
What do you think would be an epic Godzilla crossover?
Just type your idea and leave it in the comments section of this
blog.
Thank you and see you next time J!!!
