Godzilla's screentime through out the years

Sorry I screwed up the time posting for Godzilla in Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla. It should be 7:44, somehow I typed Anguirus time in for Godzilla. It has been updated on the blog, guess trying to do 1 a week I didn't double check enough.

Thanks, I'll update.

Szmigiel has started the Heisei series:

The Return of Godzilla - (19:00 out of 103 minutes) 18.4%

I'll update again when he's about halfway into it. I have a feeling Godzilla's screentime is going to be through the roof in this series...

This is awesome, I've been searching for screentimes for a long time.

I'm planning on making a data visualization utilizing these screentimes you provided SZMIGIEL (and the rest that you'll do). And Thanks for the percentages and comprensive list Gman, I'll be paying close attentions to updates regarding this topic.

He's finished the Heisei series. Here's the latest update:

Wow kind of surprised how much Godzilla is in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2.

About 10 minutes.

Szmigiel,
Do you mind if I conjur up an article on your findings and link to your site/use those images? I think this is some really impressive research you've done here and more fans should take a gander at it.

Sure the information is there to be used. I plan to post a few more charts based on the information I have gathered. Next will be a chart of Godzilla's 1st appearance (also tease appearances) in each film and the total runtime. 

@SZMIGIEL,

Thanks for all of that detailed information. Greatly appreciated.

Could a mod sticky and feature this? This is such a interesting and informative thread it'd be a shame if it got buried by threads that are frankly less important.

*Hears durp's call and answers*

Featured and stickied.

Huh. I just watched vs Hedorah and vs Gigan, and I thought there was an awful lot of Godzilla in them for the Showa era, and I guess I wasn't wrong. Awesome work, szmigiel, this is really well done and informative, as well as just fun. I am going to refer to this on my next watch through of all the G-movies. 

The podcast Kaiju 101 did episodes on this

Godzilla (1998) and Zilla are separate characters. Godzilla (1998) lasted until 2003 but any future incarnations of the character will be referred as Zilla. Since that Tri-Star held the rights to the character during that time Godzilla (1998) is a legal incarnation even Toho has a trademark icon for both Godzilla (1998) and Zilla

technically Zilla is still a Godzilla due to starting out as the first incarnation as an american godzilla and no matter what Toho does with the character. Godzilla 1998 is still technically a Godzilla, it only became Zilla in Final Wars
