On this day in 1954 Godzilla premiered in Japan, created with bamboo sticks and wire as a frame for the interior of the suit and added metal mesh and coats of latex with coats of molten rubber and carved indentations and strips of latex glued onto the surface of the suit to create Godzilla’s scaly hide. This first version of the suit weighed 100 kilograms and for close-ups a smaller scale, mechanical, hand-operated puppet that sprayed streams of mist from its mouth to act as Godzilla’s atomic breath was also made. Still going strong, this iconic pop culture creature is one of the longest running film franchises around.
