Line 110:
* In ''[[Star Wars]]'' ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sando_aqua_monster Sando aqua monster] would qualify, as it spends most of its screen time devouring smaller [[Sea Monster|sea monsters]].
* Though not as huge as many on this list, the monster of the Korean film ''Gwoemul'', or ''[[The Host (film)|The Host]]'', is in many ways a tribute to the genre.
* Numerous films by [[
* Jack Frost at the end of ''[[Jack Frost (1997 film)|Jack Frost 2: The Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman]]''.
* A commercial for the fast food chain Hella Burger in the [[Slasher Film]] '''''Drive Thru''''' depicts [[Monster Clown|Horny the Clown]] as one of these.
Line 227:
* The whole idea is sort of deconstructed in ''[[Shadow of the Colossus]]''.
* Being a spinoff of [[Ultraman]], Kaiju Buster Powered naturally has plenty of Kaiju. However as it's also heavily inspired by [[Monster Hunter]], said Kaiju are more then capable of being taken down by humans with swords and energy weapons.
* Inspired ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]''. By [[Word of God]], the character designer Yoji Shinkawa was disappointed with the design of [[Godzilla]] [[In Name Only]] in the [[They Just Didn't Care|notoriously half-assed]] [[Roland Emmerich]] ''[[Godzilla (film)|Godzilla]]'', and so designed [[Walking Tank|Metal Gear RAY]]'s body, movements and [[Mighty Roar]] after how ''he'' [[Ascended Fanfic|would have redesigned Godzilla to look]]. There's also allusions made both in-game and in [[Word of God]] comparing Solid Snake to Godzilla and Raiden to King Kong, although this is more of a [[Kaiju]] version of [[Faux Symbolism]].
** Parodied in the non-canon ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: VR Missions'' and ''Snake Tale E: External Gazer'', where having giant Kaiju versions of the game's standard [[Mook|Mooks]] is kind of a recurring in-joke. [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Genola]] is just a giant Genome soldier in white Arctic camouflage, and Gurlugon is a Gurlukovich soldier with fins along its spine and the ability to shoot paralysing [[Eye Beams]].
* ''[[Disgaea]]'': FLONNEZILLA! Flonne's final attack{{spoiler|as a fallen angel}}. She dresses up in a patchy dinosaur costume and starts terrorizing the targets, with toy planes on wires flying around her. She finishes it up by breathing fire on the target.
