You remember G, right? No, not Godzilla but one of his recent descendents.
G (2008; short, 48 min.; dir. Kiyotaka Taguchi)
As a reminder, check him out here.
And don’t forget his tin-plated nemesis:
How about Gehara, the Long-haired Kaiju?
Chohatsu Daikaiju Gehara [Long-haired Giant Monster Gehara]
(2009; short; dir. Kiyotaka Taguchi)
Well, to catch up with the Hairy One you can watch his entire debut short film online here.
Apparently G and Gehara had a bit of a newcomer grudge match in February at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival, at least until they were interrupted….
Here are some promotional stills:
Maybe we’ll see an actual cinematic meeting of the two independent film kaiju sometime!
