Godzilla - Godzilla (1954 - 1998)
Apparently Godzilla is a dinosaur, though we always put him down as a lizard that had been exposed to too much radioactive slime. A bit like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Still, he does have dorsal plates, and the head and body of a T-Rex. At least he did until the 1998 film, but we try not to think about that.
And, anyway, we’re pretty sure those dinosaur guys would have evolved fire-breath eventually.

Godzooky - Godzilla (1978)
Introduced as the Scrappy Doo to Godzilla’s Scooby for Hannah Barbera’s cartoon spin-off, Godzooky had the voice of Captain Caveman and the charm and grace of Jar Jar Binks. We hate him.
So there’s only one thing left to do. Call Godzilla.
Godzooky is skidding around on the deck of a boat like a prat (again), and Captain Majors finally snaps, pressing the red button he inexplicably carries in his pocket, summoning Godzilla.
Tired of being tugged out of the ocean to sort out every little problem in Majors’ life, Godzilla torches the boat, taking Godzooky with it. Flawless Victory.

So Movie Dinos always win... What about Primeval, or are they not dinosaurs (never watched it) or something?

in the 1950s godzilla, he is just woken up by the bikini atol bombings...the bomb in real life poisoned the sea and fish (and killed 4 fisherman) so that's why godzilla glows and s**t. that's also why not everyone wants to kill him...he survived the atomic blast, some characters in the film want to know why. ishiro honda, he made a story about a dude in a rubber suit amazing, shame on you for using the american version (where the bomb-blame is placed on france and not the usa).
