This movie is amazing.I am blown away by it every single time I watch it. Out of every single bad movie, this is the best. It is the best because not only can you enjoy the funny guys and little roku-chan, but you can make fun of it so easily too. One of my all time favorites. If anyone else feels this way, please respond to this. I am looking to share my obsession with Jet Jaguar.
shareI feel the same way about Reign of Fire.
sharei love jet jaguar for the longest time all my screen names use to be named after him.
I personally think the best worst movie ive ever seen is Eegah!
NPac,
I totally agree. When most people talk about hysterical bad cinema, this movie is bar-none, the number one Japanese submission. Unlike "Godzilla's Revenge", and "Godzilla Vs. Gigan" which are downright painful to watch, this movie is so nonchalant about its obvious ineptitude, it is hysterical. All of the Toho super TV shows were done this way too. If you want a real laugh, try and find the episodes of "Zone Fighter" that feature Godzilla as a guest. One show actually shows him bounding out of a cave to help save the day, ala Batman. Priceless.
And what was going on with the music? Godzilla fighting while a man plays banjo and jews harp on the sideline? I didn't know they had such instruments in Japan. Egad - Indeed! Everyone makes mention of the infamous running-flying kick maneuver, too. Is it ever explained at how Jet Jagular (it sounds like Jagular to me) can suddenly make himself gigantic?
Again, totally cool to watch with friends over beer, like "Plan Nine From Outer Space", and "Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes".

this is probably the awesomest bad movie ever.
shareSaw this in the bargain bin in Wal-Mart, bought it right then and there. One of my absolute favorite Godzilla films. I like how they took the bloodletting scene from Godzilla vs. Gigan and pasted it in here.
Sadly, Godzilla never spoke.
"Anguras, come on!"
That's exactly why I changed my original vote of 3/10 for this movie to 6/10. It's hilarious and surprisingly watchable.
shareI totally agree that this movie is so bad it's good. I have seen almost all the Godzilla movies and some more than others. But this one has a charm all it's own. It stands out(especially the fight scene at the end) and I don't think they even wanted a serious or dark side like most of the other Godzilla movies have. I saw this for the first time on MST3K but it is almost as funny without it. I own the MST3k version, a vhs Full screen version and a widescreen version taped from SCIFI channel. I am now waiting for the widescreen version on DVD. (why this is about the only G movie you can only get on a bootleg DVD is beyond me!!!)
shareWow this movie did better than Laserblast!!! I didnt see that coming.Although i've seen this movie a few times it isnt really up there on my favourite Godzilla movie lists.
shareMe and my friend saw this on TV a few months ago, and we still talk about that flying kick to this day. I really want to buy this movie, just to see it over and over again.
shareThis is an awesome movie...I'm gonna go watch it.

I group that flying kick in with the pickup-slam Godzilla does to the Smog Monster (over and over too) as some of the most memorable fight moves we've seen from him.
Great film. It's has better tag team action than "Godzilla vs Gigan has, and I love tag team wrestling! Jet Jaguar wouldn't have been so great if he would've stayed under control of the humans.
"Jet Jaguar, grow to the size of the monsters and help Godzilla!"
"Jet Jaguar, hold Megalon so Godzilla can keep dropkicking him!"
1] The fun and jaunty banjo/ukelele music that drives the brutal carnage onscreen
2] Megalon and Gigan giving each other a high five
3] Megalon and gigan's jaws dropping in disbelief when they suddenly realise that Godzilla isn't done for after all.
4] Megalon giving, what seems to be, the bird to Godzilla and Jet Jaguar
5] Godzilla and Jet Jaguar shaking hands at the end of the fight, fumbling around blindly to meet hands ( no eyeholes! )
6] Godzilla's shoulder exploding in a fountain of blood
7] Megalon firing one of his fire ball blobs up at Godzilla and Jet Jaguar as they peer over his seemingly unsoncious state, only for them to dodge out of the way and for it to fall directly down and explode in his own mouth!
8] Jet Jaguar's inexplicable growth just before it all kicks off. That is some serious technology for a robot created in a playboy's beach house.
9] LMAO...Jet Jaguar spinning around on a plate, whilst Megalon whirls around him, until he falls over with dizziness! LMAO...Particle Manipulation and Accelleration. Check. Ability to become sentient. Check. Perfect limb and joint simulation. Check. Ability to fly. Check. Built in function to simulate and suffer from disorientation. Check!
10] And of course the best bit is the Tail Slide Kung Fu HA HA. I, like most of you i imagine, was on the floor the first time i saw that.

This is my signature. AREN'T YOU EXCITED?!
One of the first Godzilla movies I saw as a 4-year-old kid!
Godzilla and a Pro-Wrestling Robot vs. A hook-handed, buzz-saw chested cyclops and a napalm-and-lightining-shooting, drill handed cockroach?
can you say "BADAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS!"?
This movie is pure trash!!
But then when I was a kid I used to love hanging out at the dump and going through stuff there.

Is that a rumor or did you just make that up? -Mom
I like awful movies and I have to say, this one is pretty awful.
shareMy family digs Jet Jaguar. Too bad he was only in one film!
shareI not only saw this at the movies as a kid, I bought the VHS later as an adult and later picked up a toy Jet Jaguar. One of my favorite guilty pleasures. Watching it right now. Can't wait for the fight at the end.
sharei loved this movie as a kid. it was also the very first movie i bought on vhs tape when i got my first vcr in '86 :D
shareIf you think this is the worst movie ever made you must have only seen a few movies in your life. I could think of at least a hundred worse than this. Did you ever see an Ed Wood movie. I have home movies better than his.
