I first watched this film at 6 years old and it has become one of my most watched ever. I am now 26. It's a fantastically weird film for the era and to this day I still have nightmares. A film I will never forget. If you love Godzilla you will love this film. The drama and theatrics are outstanding, far superior to many films of today. I honestly don't know why people are so judgemental of it.
Consider this film was released in 1971 by a Japanese company, it isn't going to have incredible CGI. The Hedorah suit was so heavy it was suspended partially on wires as it weighed over 300lbs.
There is a scene the original director (who was in hospital at the time) specifically demanded was not to be implemented, and it was. You'll know it with a Google and just by watching the film. I personally thought it was funny and quite unique.
