Statue of Liberty.jpg

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Dedicated on October 28, 1886, the copper statue was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States and designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi with its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel: the same man behind the equally world famous Eiffel Tower.

The Statue of Liberty has made numerous appearances in giant monster films and related media including the monument being directly destroyed by such attacking creatures and, in some rare cases, coming to life on her own or through an impostor assuming her form.[1][2]

History

The Last War

The statue can be seen when a nuclear missile hits New York City and resulted in its destruction.

Gamera

Soon after Gamera revealed his ability to fly, he was sighted around the world. Thankfully, didn't attack any of the landmarks and populated areas that he passed by. Among the places visited were New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty as briefly seen through a photograph that Dr. Hidaka and Kyoko were examining.

Godzilla: Final Wars

With their true intent in subjugating the Earth fully revealed, the Xiliens, free from all non-confrontational pretenses, release their captured monsters around the world to destroy mankind's major cities and population centers. Among the chaos, Rodan attacks New York once again but this time aided by Xilien troops within their attack-ships, decimating the once great metropolis and its many people. The Statue of Liberty is among the freshly devastated ruins, laying just above the waves of New York Harbor as the flying monster and his alien controllers rampage from the skies up high.

Trivia

  • Similar to popular myths surrounding The Colossus of Rhodes, The Statue of Liberty has assumed animated life in various works of fiction, acting as her own giant entity. Not counting briefly seen comedic sight gags and political cartoons, the following are more significant examples of such from beyond the mainstream kaiju genre.
    • In the 1975 manga story Kamen Rider: 7 Riders Showdown[3], the evil organization Black Satan transforms The Statue of Liberty into a robotic assassin dubbed Goddess of Liberty. Afterwards, she's sent forth along with five other giant monsters[4] to track down and destroy the sleeping stone god Daimajin. However, before the nefarious mission could be accomplished, Goddess of Liberty is fought and ultimately destroyed by the cyborg superheroes Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2.
    • In the 1989 science-fiction comedy Ghostbusters II, the titular heroes bring The Statue Of Liberty to mobile life to help them save New York from supernatural evil by coding her inner-workings with positively charged Psychomagnotheric Slime.[5]
    • In episodes 11 and 12 of the 1986 animated series Inhumanoids, the subterranean tyrant monster Metlar, influenced by a scientifically created love potion, steals The Statue of Liberty to his underground domain at the Earth's core and brings her to life using his own demonic powers. Despite hopes of having her become his 'queen beneath the surface', The Statue of Liberty becomes a nagging, spoiled, and temperamental copper giantess and one who Metlar gladly returns to the humans above ground by story's end.[6]
    • In the 2012 Doctor Who episode "The Angels Take Manhattan", The Statue of Liberty is animated through the influence of the stone-like alien horrors dubbed The Weeping Angels, becoming a giant offshoot of said species. However, it's never made fully clear if one of The Weeping Angels simply took on the Statue's appearance or if the alien hijack the existing structure to mobile life.[7]
  • The half-scale replica of the Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas, Nevada, appeared in the first trailer for Legendary Pictures' Godzilla, although this shot was ultimately cut from the film.
