Bit of a Godzilla /Kaiju theme this week – I saw this on YouTube and I asked a friend who is a bigger Godzilla fan than I am. He wasn’t aware of this almost made movie – The Most INSANE Godzilla Movie That Was Almost Made! (Bride Of Godzilla) – YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA3vHC03k0E (about 6:57 minutes long).

I wasn’t aware of the term “kaiju” for a long time. For a simple explanation that is open to some debate among kaiju fans, we can go with Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiju.
Kaiju is a Japanese word meaning “strange creature”. In English, it has come to mean “monster” or “giant monster”, referring to creatures of a large size seen in movies from Asia. Many kaiju movies are made in Japan. It is a type of tokusatsu entertainment. … The most well-known kaiju is Godzilla.
In some cases, I see it translated as “strange beast” and in other places as “monster.” Some purists would argue it only applies to Japanese movies of a certain genre; I tend to take the broader view that it includes a lot of other beasts/animals/monsters, like King Kong and other giant beasts. Had I titled this blog post “Godzilla,” then thrown in kaiju, some would have gotten the reference.
