That was freakin' sweet!

I'm a little surprised by this clip. I saw the first Always movie and I liked it a lot. Yeah, it had some funny moments but this is totally different in tone from that. Well done, though.

For those who are unfamiliar with the original movie, the main storyline (there are several) is about a girl named Mutsuko from the countryside who comes to work in Tokyo at "Suzuki Auto Factory." She thinks she's coming to be a secretary, but when she arrives she finds out the "factory" is nothing more than a small repair garage. Furthermore, because of a mis-reading of her resume she's been hired to be a mechanic rather than a secretary. This naturally leads to trouble.

This clip features the Suzuki family and Mutsuko. The father, who in the first movie dreamed of turning his garage into a real factory someday, at the end of the clip sees the crushed sign of his factory and screams at Godzilla, "Damn you! You've destroyed my Suzuki Auto!"

EDIT:

In case you were wondering how this tied in to the rest of the movie, I found another longer clip on YouTube that shows what happens after this. Apparently, the Suzuki's neighbor, Ryuunosuki, who is an author and has a bit of a friendly rivalry with Mr. Suzuki, is penning a new short story for publication and getting some satisfaction out of making Mr. Suzuki his hapless victim. So it's basically all happening in his imagination.

That's what you get for going up against Toyota.

Man it's been ten years since American Godzilla and I can still taste the disappointment.

Whoops, I guess chartered members can only self-promote?

I would love to see a full Godzilla remake done is this style. Made to look like the old movies but using current special effects. *quality

There are rumors of a new American Godzilla film in the pipeline. Supposedly he will square off against another monster in the film. I've been a huge Godzilla fan since my childhood and have seen and owned all the films available on home video/DVD. The Roland/Emmerich remake left me beyond dissapointed. Here's to hoping this new rumored film get's the ball rolling and stays much more true to the spirit of the Toho film series. I'd especially love it if Toho gave the right to use the theme that is used in this clip. Gives me chills of excitement everytime I hear it.

This clip makes me realize we totally need another cheesy Japanese Godzilla flick! I miss them.

judging by his hair, i think he was just about to transform to super saiyan
