How many Godzilla movies are there?
A. At this writing, there have been 25 Japanese Godzilla movies released starting in 1954 with Gojira (released in the US as Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 1956) and running through 2001’s Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!. The 26th Godzilla film is due out in Japan at the end of 2002. There was also a big-budget Hollywood Godzilla released in 1998, and a popular student short subject entitled Godzilla meets Bambi. Versions of Godzilla have also appeared in two cartoon series (Hanna Barbera very loosely based their 70s cartoon version on the classic Godzilla. The 90s Fox cartoon was based on the Hollywood “Godzilla”.) Godzilla has also appeared in episodes of the Japanese TV series Meteor Man-Zone Fighter, and thinly disquised as an opponent for Ultraman.
