Talk:List of Godzilla monsters/@comment-831485-20160617002630

Re-watched Classic Media's special edition DVD for "Terror of Mechagodzilla", and listen to the audio commentary by writer and Sci-Fi Japan's founder Keith Akin (who confirms the following), only to discover that the classic 1966 "Ultraman" monsters Telesdon and Kemular both make sneaky cameos as 'real dinosaurs' featured on scientific charts, first during Dr Mafune's flashback to how he was violently banished by his fellow scientists, and later as Interpol agents review dinosaur biology before dealing with Titanosaurus again.

Keith Akin seemed confused as to why Ultraman monsters keep popping up instead of Toho-based monsters, but one could assume it was a deliberate in-joke by director Ishiro Honda and the production staff, as Telesdon and Kemular were created by the late Eiji Tsuburaya. And hell, if we're adding Shukra and Mommagon who are fictional monsters within the context of "Godzilla vs Gigan", why not these two?

I'll add exact minute marks in a follow-up post.
