Review – Bringing Godzilla Down to Size

This documentary about the behind-the-scenes history of the Godzilla franchise was an unexpected bonus on the DVD of Rodan. Indeed, this turned out to be better than the main feature. The production features extensive interviews with just about everyone from the guys who wore the Godzilla suits to the guys who made them to the guys who made the miniature cityscapes that got stomped time and time again. To be sure, the story would have been a bit more interesting if it had included more backstage footage or at least more clips from some of the older pictures discussed by the interviewees. Nonetheless, this is fun and fascinating stuff. Worth seeing
