On the Trail of the Footbridge from Godzilla's Revenge!


On Wednesday, June 3, I went out to Kawasaki to check out the footbridge from Godzilla's Revenge (1969) again, the first time in a little more than five years. Not much had changed in the intervening years, and it was just as dirty as I remembered.


It's definitely very cool to see where the opening scene of Revenge was shot, even if the physical location itself leaves a lot to be desired. The filmmakers certainly picked a good area to showcase the unpleasantness of Japan's industrialization.


It was a humid day, too, so the conditions weren't exactly ideal. At least it was overcast, so the heat was kept to a minimum.


And there you have it. Despite what I wrote above, it was fun seeing this location again in person.
