This is a '''list of all official ''[[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]]'' movies''' in order of release date. There are 36 ''Godzilla'' movies, 32 produced by [[Toho]], one produced by [[TriStar Pictures]], and three produced by [[Legendary Pictures]]. Toho only considers the live-action films it produces to comprise the numerical entries in the franchise; as such it excludes the Hollywood adaptations and animated films from the numerical order and maintains that ''[[Shin Godzilla]]'' is the 29th ''Godzilla'' film.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://godzilla-sp.jp/history/|title=Godzilla Film History (ゴジラ映画ヒストリー)|work=[[Godzilla Singular Point|godzilla-sp.jp]]|accessdate=28 December 2020|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201210040139/https://godzilla-sp.jp/history/|archivedate=10 December 2020}}</ref>

===Main series===
There are a total of 30 ''Godzilla'' movies which comprise the mainline series. The movies are split into four distinct subseries: the [[Showa era]], comprising the first 15 films; the [[Heisei era]], comprising the next seven films; the [[Millennium era]], comprising the next six films after that; and the [[Reiwa era]], which currently includes ''[[Shin Godzilla]]'' and ''[[Godzilla Minus One]]'', as well as three animated films that are not counted among the mainline entries. Despite the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras being named after the reigns of Japanese emperors (the [[Shōwa period]], [[Heisei period]], and [[Reiwa period]]), the periods of time in which they were released do not precisely correspond with the durations of the emperors' reigns; the first film of the Heisei era, ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'', was in fact released during the Shōwa period, and ''Shin Godzilla'' was released during the Heisei period. Moreover, the Millennium era was released entirely within the Heisei period.

===Hollywood films===
Five ''Godzilla'' movies have been produced entirely by Hollywood studios. However, it should be noted that three of the Japanese ''Godzilla'' films were brought to the United States with new footage shot by American studios inserted into them. These include ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla, King of the Monsters!]]'' (a [[1956]] Americanization of 1954's ''Godzilla''), the [[1963]] American release of ''[[King Kong vs. Godzilla]]'', and ''[[The Return of Godzilla|Godzilla 1985]]'' (a [[1985]] Americanization of [[1984]]'s ''The Return of Godzilla''). Though these are generally not included in the tally of American ''Godzilla'' films, the 2016 Japanese book ''[[Shin Godzilla Walker: The New Legend of the King of the Monsters]]'' does treat ''Godzilla, King of the Monsters!'' as a distinct work.{{sfn|Kikuchi|Kato|Yamamoto|2016|pp=52, 81}}
 
There have also been two ''Godzilla'' films created as cooperations between American and Japanese companies from their inception. ''[[Invasion of Astro-Monster]]'' was produced in Japan but co-funded by [[Benedict Pictures Corporation]] of the [[United States]], while ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' was shot in America but co-funded by Toho. Despite this, ''Invasion of Astro-Monster'' is primarily considered a Japanese film and is part of the main ''Godzilla'' series, while ''Godzilla: King of the Monsters'' is primarily an American film and is included among the American spinoffs.
 
The 1998 film by [[TriStar Pictures|TriStar]] et al. is standalone, while the other four American ''Godzilla'' films, produced by [[Legendary Pictures]], share continuity and make up the [[Monsterverse]] series along with the [[2017]] ''[[King Kong (franchise)|King Kong]]'' film ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]''.

===Animated films===
A trilogy of animated ''Godzilla'' films was created by Toho, but is not considered to be part of the main film series, likely because of the films' lack of live action cinematography. The films are, however, counted as part of the [[Reiwa era]].
 
Peculiarly, Godzilla.com, the official international website for the ''Godzilla'' franchise, previously counted the shows ''[[Godzilla (series)|Godzilla]]'', ''[[Godzilla: The Series]]'', and ''[[Godzilla Singular Point]]'' as "films," bringing its tally of animated movies to six.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://godzilla.com/filmography/#animated-version|title=Filmography|work=Godzilla.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220914214442/https://godzilla.com/filmography/#animated-version|archivedate=14 September 2022}}</ref>

Latest revision as of 02:18, 19 April 2024

This is a list of all official feature-length Godzilla movies. There are currently 38 films in the franchise: 17 authored by Toho (one of which with Benedict Pictures), three by Toho Eizo, 13 by Toho Pictures, one by TriStar Pictures et al., and four by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures et al. Toho only considers the live action films that it or its subsidiaries have created to comprise the numerical entries in the franchise; as such, it excludes the Hollywood adaptations and animated films from the numerical order and maintains that Godzilla Minus One is the 30th Godzilla film.[1] The most recent film overall is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

List

= Showa era
= Heisei era
= TriStar
= Millennium era
= Monsterverse
= Reiwa era

Main series

There are a total of 30 Godzilla movies which comprise the mainline series. The movies are split into four distinct subseries: the Showa era, comprising the first 15 films; the Heisei era, comprising the next seven films; the Millennium era, comprising the next six films after that; and the Reiwa era, which currently includes Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One, as well as three animated films that are not counted among the mainline entries. Despite the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras being named after the reigns of Japanese emperors (the Shōwa period, Heisei period, and Reiwa period), the periods of time in which they were released do not precisely correspond with the durations of the emperors' reigns; the first film of the Heisei era, The Return of Godzilla, was in fact released during the Shōwa period, and Shin Godzilla was released during the Heisei period. Moreover, the Millennium era was released entirely within the Heisei period.

Hollywood films

Five Godzilla movies have been produced entirely by Hollywood studios. However, it should be noted that three of the Japanese Godzilla films were brought to the United States with new footage shot by American studios inserted into them. These include Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (a 1956 Americanization of 1954's Godzilla), the 1963 American release of King Kong vs. Godzilla, and Godzilla 1985 (a 1985 Americanization of 1984's The Return of Godzilla). Though these are generally not included in the tally of American Godzilla films, the 2016 Japanese book Shin Godzilla Walker: The New Legend of the King of the Monsters does treat Godzilla, King of the Monsters! as a distinct work.[3]

There have also been two Godzilla films created as cooperations between American and Japanese companies from their inception. Invasion of Astro-Monster was produced in Japan but co-funded by Benedict Pictures Corporation of the United States, while Godzilla: King of the Monsters was shot in America but co-funded by Toho. Despite this, Invasion of Astro-Monster is primarily considered a Japanese film and is part of the main Godzilla series, while Godzilla: King of the Monsters is primarily an American film and is included among the American spinoffs.

The 1998 film by TriStar et al. is standalone, while the other four American Godzilla films, produced by Legendary Pictures, share continuity and make up the Monsterverse series along with the 2017 King Kong film Kong: Skull Island.

Animated films

A trilogy of animated Godzilla films was created by Toho, but is not considered to be part of the main film series, likely because of the films' lack of live action cinematography. The films are, however, counted as part of the Reiwa era.

Peculiarly, Godzilla.com, the official international website for the Godzilla franchise, previously counted the shows Godzilla, Godzilla: The Series, and Godzilla Singular Point as "films," bringing its tally of animated movies to six.[5]

Notes

  1. ↑ Though Higuchi is credited as tokugi kantoku (特技監督, "director of special effects") in Japanese, Toho's English-language press notes specify that he is the VFX director. Onoue was the director for the film's second unit, which shot a small number of practical effects sequences, making him more akin to the special effects directors of prior Godzilla films.
  2. ↑ Huahua Media purchased a stake in the film just before release,[4] and therefore could not have contributed to its production budget.
