Can't say for sure if Baragon would or not, but regardless, this is the pick:
Although there have been a few scattered references to the Big G throughout this blog's postings, I've not truly featured Godzilla and his kaiju breathren nearly as much as I should considering my deep and abiding affection for them. So let's blow it out with the biggest collection of giant monsters ever collected in one movie (up to the time - I think the more recent Godzilla: Final Wars may outstrip it in numbers - we'll see when it makes it to the top of my DVD To Watch pile.)
But this flick is a lot of fun, with something like 18 beasties from the Toho Studios line showing up before it's all over. That's a lot of men in rubber suits running around dodging each other's tail wires! In fact, let's celebrate with an extra clip of those darling little Shobijin (aka The Peanuts) singing the Mosura (Mothra) song! (These clips and pics are not necessarily from Destroy All Monsters - I just like those pint sized cuties!)
I just picked Destroy All Monsters up in a brand new special edition DVD for the video vault, so it's right near the door should you decide to come see me and ask to see it - possibly this evening...?
And until Monster Island gets its own reality TV series, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
I am in awe of your video vault. I don't have this one and I want it. I was like 8 when I first saw this and have always loved Godzilla. What a kick ass monster. And rubber suit man was so much better than CGI monster from the Roland Emmerich film.
