The basic idea of a Monster running amuck and threatening civilization is an old one first cinematically explored in KING KONG. Except for the fact that Godzilla is a dinosaur and may have been re-animated by atomic testing, there are similarities in the gross or basic plot. King Kong gets loose in New York, Godzilla in Tokyo. Both monsters are ultimately defeated by technologically superior man and his weapons. In a way it"s a pro-war or (anti-public enemy) stance against the Monsters in our supposedly civilized world. King Kong came out in l933, Godzilla in l955 or l956

The appearance of Godzilla (1954) was modeled upon the fictional 'Rhedosaurus' from the 1953 film "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" which was animated by the late "Ray" Harryhausen (June 29, 1920 - May 7, 2013) .

When was Godzilla killed?

in the movie godzilla vs destoroyah,and godzilla jr made an appearance but was killed by destoroyah In actuality Godzilla has died twice during his long lasting movie career. The first time was in the original Japanese movie (Gojira)(1954). The gizmo that killed the "King of the Monsters" was a device called "The Oxygen Destroyer" which took the oxygen out of sea water. When set off at Godzilla's feet the result was all of the monsters flesh being eaten away leaving just his skeleton. The second time, as mentioned above, was in the movie "Godzilla vs Destroyah" (1995)(Destroyah being a monster spawned from the use of the Oxygen Destroyer). This time around it was Godzilla's own radioactivity that got the best of him and he actually had a melt down ... really, just like a nuclear power plant meltdown.
