On November 3rd, 1954 Ishiro Honda's Gojira - now known around the globe by his westernized name of Godzilla - first stomped across screens laying waste to all around him. Fifty five years and more than thirty film appearances later - to say nothing of the countless spin offs, cartoons, merchandising and knock-off kaiju monsters he inspired - the cult is still going strong. Happy birthday, big guy.


Yay! Godzilla and Rosanne have the same birthday. Coinkydink?
Happy birthday and please come out of hibernation soon to star in a mega-budget Toho-approved reboot directed by Peter Jackson. And please step on Roland Emmerich.
