Rodan: Difference between revisions

[[File:G5498-f_5302.jpg|frame]]

 

The movie takes place on one of the smaller islands of Japan. A small mining operation is in a panic; the mine's deepest vein has flooded, and one of the miners was found horribly mutilated. The blame falls upon Goro, the last person the dead miner was seen with. Goro's friend [[The Hero|Shigeru]], determined to prove Goro innocent, discovers that the killings were actually done by prehistoric insects. Shigeru leads a group of soldiers into the mine, where they battle the monsters. When bullets prove ineffective, Shigeru kills the bugs with a booby-trapped mine cart. With the monsters that did the killing dead, the movie's over, right?

 

It's basically [[Godzilla]] with two [[Kaiju]]. No relation to French sculptor Auguste Rodin, whose last name is pronounced the same way.

----

* [[Always a Bigger Fish]].

* [[Easy Amnesia]] - Sort of. The amnesia happens after a terrible head injury and it takes several weeks to recover, but once Shigeru does he remembers everything he's seen.

* [[Giant Equals Invincible]]-Averted, hard. Both monsters die by falling into a volcano while the JSDF bombs the area with an air strike.

* [[Immune to Bullets]] - The Meganulon.

* [[Ptero-Soarer]]- Rodan. [[Justified Trope|Justified, in that Rodan isn't supposed to be realistic in the first place.]]

* [[Recycled in Space]]- It's a tragic love story, with Kaiju as the two ill-fated lovers. In the original release very little emphasis is placed on the second Rodan, It's not even implied that the two creatures are mates.
