Ed Wood. Funny movie.

Since this is a movie thread, I'm going to ask a movie question:

I used to watch these movies as a little kid, and from what I remember, they had very tall "robots" (I remember one of them being gold in colour). Godzilla sized robots, I guess. I think it was shot with an actor in a suit on a sound stage with miniature buildings around. This would have been quite a few years before the Power Rangers. I think they were made in Japan.

Anyway, it's just a vague memory of mine. Maybe someone knows?

I solved a similar mystery recently when I stumbed upon the intro to a cartoon I watched as a little kid. I was a big Ghostbusters fan back then and had all the toys. I would watch the cartoon The Real Ghostbusters all the time... as well as the movies. Even during that era, The Real Ghostbusters managed to block out a memory I had, because I would think to my young self, "I remember there was another Ghostbusters show I used to watch." But I couldn't place it. Turns out there was another cartoon series (based on a live action series of the same name from the seventies) I had seen! At that young age, I didn't really differentiate between the two, I guess. They were simply both shows about ghost busting....with different characters.

Anyway, when I saw this clip a few months ago, like, twenty years later, I remembered every bit of the intro! The show was made by the same company that did He-Man and She-Ra and stuff.
