The 1954 classic, which spawned more than two dozen follow-ups, has been cleaned up for a two-week run in Tokyo to mark the 60th anniversary of the monster from the deep. &quot;I was really surprised to see a Tokyo that isn't the current, neat Tokyo, but was just some 10 years after war, trampled again,&quot; said Kenichi Takagi, 44, who took along his 10-year-old son. Film studio Toho released &quot;Gojira&quot; -- a Japanese portmanteau of &quot;gorilla&quot; and &quot;kujira&quot; (whale) -- directed by Ishiro Honda, in November 1954, a few months after Akira Kurosawa's classic &quot;Seven Samurai&quot;.</p><br clear="all"/>
