But now, at long last, the acclaimed kaiju masterpiece finally hits American shores in all its uncut original glory!Get ready for the biggest Godzilla epic that you've never seen as Kraken Releasing proudly presents the complete and unedited THE RETURN OF GODZILLA! Special F Review: Its the original movie, its not the americanized version - So in 1984, Return of Godzilla hit the stage. It is a very good film for its time. It struggled with many themes some that carried over into the recent Godzilla movie, Shin Gojira. One of those themes being, the americans wanting to launch a nuke at Godzilla which would also hit all of Tokyo. Obviously, if you have seen any of the others after it you could guess what happened. Now in the Americanized Version (more like Cold War Version), many of the scenes were changed with scenes of Raymond Burr. Now the one biggest change they made was when one of the Russian went back to the carrier, he actually was trying to stop the nuke countdown. Just as he was, Godzilla attacked. He still tried to reach for the controls to stop the nuke but the explosion of the ship killed him... That is what happened in the original 1984 movie. Now Americans with their pettiness back then, they edited it to turn "Russian trying to stop the nuke and dies" into "Russian launches nuke and dies". The reason for that edit was "Conservatives Leanings" and because they wanted to paint Russia in bad light and US in a good light. Thankfully I would hope we are past those days of pettiness. Now this version released by Kraken Releasing. It is the Japanese Version with Subtitles. Toho and Kraken Releasing had a hard time getting the distribution rights to the Japanese Version alone. And its almost impossible to figure out if they can actually sell the Americanized version here. Now this dvd does have an English track, it it isn't exactly amazing but thats because the english dub track was made for countries that didn't get Americanized Version but instead got the Japanese Uncut. The movie is worth the money though. It retackles themes showning Gojira, regarding Nuclear Weapons and such. But it also allows Godzilla to have his own flick. Today he only has 3 flicks where its him vs Humans. (Thats of course if you don't count the terrible American take of godzilla known as Godzilla 1998.) Back then, he only had one film where it was hin vs Humans. Until this movie was released. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes Kaiju movies and never got to see the original Japanese movie, Godzilla 1984. Review: Finally we have a Return of Godzilla on Blu-Ray - I'm just overjoyed that we here in the west can finally get this movie on Blu-Ray. It's been held up in legalities and rights issues for decades. I think the last US release was VHS. Even better, we actually get both the Japanese version (very good) and the somewhat changed American version (unintentionally hilarious in all the wrong ways.) The Return of Godzilla/Godzilla 1985 was the first reset of the Godzilla movies. After a decade of no new movies it was a direct sequel to the original 1954 Gojira, and ignored all of the "Showa" era movies. It returned Godzilla to being a dark destructive force of nature, instead of the goofy children's hero he had become. The movie also has some great Cold War themes and plots. Well the Japanese one does. The American one is more Dr. Strangelove by way of a Dr. Pepper commercial (so wish I was joking.) The effects work was outstanding for the time and holds up extremely well. While far from the best of the "Heisei" era Godzilla films, it was a decent start. If you do get this, I strongly recomend the original Japanese version. The American rework seems custom designed for MST3K. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Burr, Raymond, Hashimoto, Kohji, Kaneko, Nobuo, Katoh, Takeshi, Kizer, R.
