Godzilla (1954) (original title Gojira) was the first in a long line of movies about the radiation-spewing lizard and arguably the best of the bunch. Directed by Ishirô Honda and starring Akira Takarada, Momoko Kôchi, Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, and Fuyuki Murakami, the original film was a thinly veiled critique of the incendiary and atomic bombings of Japan during the Pacific War. The film was released in the United States in 1956, heavily edited to remove most of its references to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, under the title, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and starred Raymond Burr. It was subsequently remade by director Roland Emmerich (Godzilla (1998)) and another version by director Gareth Edwards is scheduled for release in 2014.
An ancient sea monster is awakened from its hibernation by an H-bomb test and wreaks havoc on Tokyo.
The following firearms were used in the film Godzilla (1954):
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
Japanese villagers defend their homes with a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun.
M1 Garand
Japanese Defense Forces carry the M1 Garand rifle.
Browning M2
Japanese Defense Force tanks carry a mounted Browning M2 machine gun.
Browning M1917
Japanese Defense Forces deploy a Browning M1917 machine gun against the expected attack.
Browning M1919A4
Japanese Defense Forces deploy a Browning M1919A4 against the impending invader.
M101 Howitzer
Japanese Defense Forces deploy an M101 howitzer against the seaborne enemy.
5 inch Air-to-Ground Rocket
Japanese Defense Forces launch 5 inch air-to-ground rockets from F-86 Sabre fighter jets against the monster.
