Pacific Rim: Guillermo Del Toro Shows Michael Bay How To Kaiju
Manage episode 426449100 series 3360131
Ben and Rob drift together and pilot ‘Pacific Rim’, Guillermo Del Toro’s homage to all things kaiju and gundam. When kaiju invade Earth through a hole in reality, it’s up to a plucky team of humans to pilot giant mecha suit Jaegers in order to cancel the apocalypse. Starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman ‘Pacific Rim’ was a hit at the box office but has failed to pick up the same devotion seen by the Toho or MonsterVerse franchises.
But how did Guillermo Del Toro end up directing a western action movie anyway? Where is James Cameron when you need him? And how come Ben loves kaiju, loves Neon Genesis, loves Guillermo Del Toro but has never seen this film before now!?
