Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

As stated elsewhere, i've kept "Mothra (1961 film)" redlinked in anticipation of an article on the film itself, rather than the kaiju star. It wouldn't need to be long, but discussions of the (both technical and literary) innovations in and long-term influences on tokusatsu by this film warrant more than just a paragraph in this article.—Crazilla 06:38, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Battra, Vaxus, etc.

Having read the blip on Vaxus at War of the Monsters, i must admit bewilderment at what was meant in writing this creature in for Battra; if i've missed something (that can be substantiated), please stick a note here. In any case, being that Mothra came about long before Battra, Vaxus, and all their aunts' and nephews' evil twins, unless a section can be written about their influence on Mothra they don't seem to warrant more than a passing mention in this article.—Crazilla 07:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The fictional country, Rolisica....A bizzare combination of New York, Los Angeles and Russia?

I honestly hope people were able to pick up this up because it's painfully obvious in so many ways. New Kirk City being the ultimate example and the fact its population is cleary white or European decent. Now, my question is are these references jabs at America and Russia or are they simply a work of fiction just solemnly made for sake of the movie? In 1961, it had been 16 years since America attacked Japan with bombs so I wouldn't be too surprised if it was but I REALLY doubt they would do it intentionally too. Any thoughts, anybody?
