welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 times godzilla went beast
[Music]
mode
[Applause]
[Music]
for this list we're looking at moments
when the king of the kaiju displayed
outstanding power
and savagery even by his standards who
would you put your money on
in a real life godzilla vs king kong
battle let us know in the comments
number 10 kicking american godzilla's
butt
godzilla final wars in 1998
hollywood attempted to reimagine the
godzilla franchise by unleashing a
drastically redesigned version of the
monster on new york
it was not a critical success
but it did set up the perfect beatdown
to kick off our list
since godzilla's original creators were
not big fans of the us version
they brought the despised lizard into
godzilla final wars
when american zilla dodges godzilla's
first atomic fire blast
you think the copycat might stand a
chance for a second
well for a second
that's before godzilla tail slaps his
copycat out of the air
and into the sydney opera house it's
over in a shake of a kaiju tale
godzilla couldn't resist showing zilla
how a real kaiju throws down
[Music]
number nine the original godzilla vs
kong battle
king kong vs godzilla godzilla and king
kong have duked it out from monster
superiority once before
and back then it wasn't even a fair
fight say what you will kong fans
but it turns out an atomic heat ray does
make for a pretty big advantage
after kong is hilariously airlifted into
battle by what looks like birthday
balloons
godzilla proceeds to beat the absolute
snot out of the giant ape
he doesn't stop until kong is buried
under rocks and surrounded by nuclear
fire
apparently godzilla takes that king of
the monster's title pretty seriously
he probably would have won had kong not
suddenly and
inexplicably gotten super powers from a
bolt of lightning
nope you heard that right this movie is
just insane
eight getting possessed and beating down
other kaiju
godzilla mothra and king ghidorah giant
monsters
all out attack in this film godzilla
became a metaphor for the specter of
national guilt
during the film godzilla gets possessed
by the spirits of people killed during
world war ii
you can see the unearthly fury of this
new form of godzilla in his milky white
eyes and
ferocious expression godzilla beats down
kaiju like baragon
mothra and even king ghidorah
it takes the combined efforts of kaiju
and humans to stop a menace tracks
it was certainly an explosive way to
both represent and
cope with the guilt of a nation's past
number seven defeating destoroyah while
undergoing a nuclear meltdown
godzilla versus destroyer godzilla feeds
on radiation
but it turns out there are limits to
what even he can safely consume
we see this firsthand after he feeds off
a uranium deposit in godzilla vs
destaroya
and begins to have a meltdown and we're
not talking about a building stomping
temper tantrum
godzilla had a nuclear meltdown that was
powerful enough to destroy the whole
planet
thankfully the movie's villain destroyer
gave him somewhere to spend some of that
extra energy
when the evil kaiju takes out godzilla
jr the enraged godzilla
uses his excess power to unleash an
infinite heat ray that absolutely wrecks
destroyer
although godzilla's body ultimately
couldn't handle the meltdown
he still went out as an ultra powerful
kaiju
number six absorbing rodan to trash
mechagodzilla
godzilla vs mechagodzilla 2. pop quiz
what's more powerful than a giant robot
kaiju designed to give godzilla a taste
of his own medicine
the answer is godzilla plus the power of
a whole other kaiju coursing through his
veins
while the math here might not make the
most sense the results speak for
themselves
after godzilla absorbs rodan's energy he
proceeds to fire a
volley of atomic rays at super
mechagodzilla until its straight up
[Music]
explodes
admittedly the atomic breath the hero
uses here doesn't look as powerful as
the attack he used against destoroyah
however the way he fires blast after
blast against his robot doppelganger
makes this
a prime example of how savage godzilla
can get
number 5 destroying tokyo for the first
time
godzilla even people who have never seen
a full godzilla
movie know that he has a knack for going
on destructive rampages
when compared to the level of chaos he
sews in later entries of the franchise
the way he stomped his way through tokyo
in the original film seems almost tame
still there's just something special
about the first time isn't there
maybe it's because his first rampage
happened right after he was awakened by
the fateful nuclear test that scarred
him
or maybe it's because godzilla takes his
time to eradicate as many
man-made structures as he can no matter
what draws us to the scene
his grief and fury shine through with
blazing clarity
number four demolishing king ghidorah's
ultimate form
godzilla final wars godzilla final wars
is full of unbelievable godzilla moments
but one of his best scenes comes after
he gets supercharged by an energy weapon
godzilla gets filled with enough power
to electrocute ghidorah just through
touch
and that's just the beginning since
ghidorah has multiple heads
godzilla gets creative in how he takes
two of them out
when only one remains he flips ghidorah
back and forth like a cartoon character
before launching him into the atmosphere
with his atomic breath
and did we mention he did this all to
ghidorah's ultimate kaiser form
we guess when godzilla is this
tremendously strong
even your super ultimate form won't do
you much good
number three convincing humanity to
leave earth
godzilla planet of the monsters you
might have noticed that godzilla has
been getting bigger as time goes on
and the idea of ratcheting up his
appearance to match the increasing scale
of his stories makes sense but in one
trilogy of animated movies his growth
went way off the charts
the animated version of godzilla grew to
be almost 1 000
feet tall he also had a wide range of
powers that included a more powerful
radioactive blast attack
the ability to generate force fields and
the power to terraform a planet with his
dna
[Music]
after his global rampage the surviving
humans evacuated planet earth
getting all of humanity to give up on
their own home
is one of the most brutal victories
godzilla ever claimed
[Music]
number two shin godzilla fires all of
the heat rays
shin godzilla shin godzilla showed us a
terrifying new version of the king kaiju
instead of an angry but relatable
monster
he's a grotesque rapidly mutating
nightmare
[Music]
and nothing showcased his inhuman
malevolence and power more than the
movie's climactic scene
the monster seems almost sick as he
bends over and belches out dark clouds
of fog
but before we can get worried about him
the clouds ignite into a fireball that
decimates the surrounding city
[Music]
and then he starts doing something worse
shin godzilla focuses the gas into a
laser-like beam
that destroys anything it touches
[Music]
surely that's the worst he could ever be
right unless he could scatter heat rays
in all directions or oh he can do that
too
that's just overkill
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
overwhelming space godzilla godzilla vs
space godzilla
[Music]
terrifying tokyo bay the return of
godzilla
reeling in mechagodzilla with
electromagnetic powers
godzilla vs mechagodzilla
beating three kaiju without breaking a
sweat godzilla final wars
wrecking megalon and gigan at the same
time godzilla vs megalon

number one melting buildings and
decimating ghidorah
godzilla king of the monsters this list
has been full of examples of godzilla's
awesome might
he's pulled off so many incredible feats
that it's hard to figure out one moment
that could top
every tail lash and atomic fire blast
that was until
2019's godzilla king of the monsters
during his final fight with ghidorah he
became
so powerful that he was able to melt
buildings just by standing near them
that probably would have been enough to
win the fight on its own but he's never
been content with enough
[Music]
godzilla destroys two of ghidorah's
heads with a nuclear pulse stomps on his
enemy's body
and finishes the final head off with an
atomic blast
we definitely think he's worthy of being
called the king of the monsters
