About

Run! It's Godzilla! is a memorable quote said by a Japanese pedestrian played by the Japanese actor Masi Oka in the 2002 American spy comedy Austin Powers in Goldmember. It has often been used in many images

Origin

Austin Powers in Goldmember was released on July 26th, 2002, and received mixed reviews upon release and parodies the spy genre of films like the other films in the series and won five awards.

In one of the scenes, the main character runs into the the back of a van with what appears to be a lizard type of creature on the top of it, apparently resembling Godzilla, a Japanese pedestrian accuses it of being the famous monster Godzilla and says, "Run, it's Godzilla," before another Japanese pedestrian (played by Japanese actor Masi Oka) runs by and says it looks like it is but it isn't due to "international copyright laws." Oka's character responds by saying they should run like it is.
