The clip comes from Gareth Edwards' Godzilla from 2014, the first film in Legendary's MonsterVerse. In the Honolulu airport sequence Godzilla emerges through smoke and fire to confront a MUTO, and his roar became the defining sound for this version of the character. Clips of the airport roar spread widely on soundboards and in edits because it captures the scale of the modern Godzilla design better than shorter roars from other scenes.
