Godzilla 1985 if you cut out all the American added footage and plot changes is really a much better paced movie the Japanese film. Like I love Return of Godzilla but it really drags in spots.

Last fall I was at a horror themed flea market event, and there was one guy selling movie posters for far higher in price than the average stuff cost at the market. He had a mint framed Cozilla movie poster though for $300 bucks. He didn't actually realize what the movie even actually was.

Gaydorah looks amazing! Looks like something from a tragic backstory to show that Ghidorah wasn’t always evil.

"You don't understand his pain. Everywhere he goes he sees women working, wearing pants, speaking in gatherings, voting. Surely they will burn in the white hot flames of Hell"
Godzilla 85 was the only version available at Blockbuster and the newest Godzilla movie on offer so I watched the crap out of it. I also only saw the original in American form so I assumed that toho cast some white people to further tie in the whole WWII theme and maybe increase international appeal.

I remember finding the Russian nuke launch weird even as a kid - really ham handed propaganda.

I found this fan restoration of Cozzilla, the 1977 mondo version of Godzilla, King of the Monsters that was re-edited, dubbed, and psychedelically colorized with pigmented gels. Though the print ends up looking pretty good it's lacking subs and the colors, the main reason the edit exist, have faded significantly.

Here is a MUCH poorer quality version Cozzilla, but with subs and more accurate vibrant colors.

Also Content Warning: Cozzilla contains newsreel footage of actual bombing and people dying in brief montages.

Here's the ending with the, no joke, synth remix of Prayer for Peace:

It makes me wish that Italian genre films would've had a glut of kaiju ripoffs. My theory is they were too lazy to build all the miniatures..


The second video is the now rare American edit of 1984's The Return of Godzilla, titled Godzilla 1985.

Now that The Return of Godzilla has had a western home media release Godzilla 1985 is rapidly fading into irrelevance. It's the direct sequel to the Raymond Burr-starring Godzilla, King of the Monsters with the character Steve Martin spliced into the narrative again. There are other edits to the narrative New World Pictures did that foist stereotypical Cold War American tropes onto it. A key scene change is one where a Soviet captain intentionally launches a nuke towards Tokyo as opposed to the original scene where he dies while trying to disarm it.

Both are worth watching, especially if you're a completionist .

Thank you so much for posting this, it made for a really cool and chill morning.

All of the Heisei era films are inexplicably 15 minutes too long. But if you want the exact opposite of trimming a movie down for pacing, Archive.org has a fan-edit combining Return and 1985 into one film. It's 2 hours long.

The good bit in Godzilla 1985- well, apart from the new opening credits, those are pretty good- is Raymond Burr's speech at the end. From all accounts G85 was going to be close to What's Up Tiger Lily until they got Burr involved, and he insisted on taking it seriously because he respected what Godzilla was about. So he gets this big speech about nature punishing man for our foolish pride, and it works- better than the weird pop song the Japanese original has.

Yeah I agree there. I rewatched all 7 of them over the last few weeks and forgot how many of them are 1hr 45m or longer. Alot of them are kinda a slog to get through.

The one that comes to mind (though not nearly big enough to be a kaiju I guess) is Alien From The Deep. The first like 2/3 of the movie is sort of a Rambo/Predator sort of knockoff with characters being chased through the jungle and there's a cover up story and stuff like that. Then out of nowhere towards the end we run into, as some of the movie's covers describe it, "THE INFAMOUS BIG-CLAW!!" But to their credit they actually did build a two story high monster and the design of it is basically an 80s Italian movie kaiju:




The full movie is here if one wants to skip to the third act, there's even several miniature sets that get blown up :3:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uT96jbilNA



Thinking about it, it's weird how a lot of the dystopian and post apocalyptic Italian flicks of the time do have a lot of miniature city scapes and stuff, and they're not even getting blown or or anything. The opening of 2019: After the Fall of New York and, especially, New Gladiators are probably the most ambitious for how cheap those movies were. The latter has a whole Blade Runner-esque version of Rome with a vaguely future Vatican and the big video ads on buildings and flying cars and stuff. I love it. :) Both movies totally own too, the latter is Running Man several years before Running Man with some light Blade Runner-esque twists regarding memory and stuff like that and the former is "what if Mad Max 2, Escape from New York......same time?" :hellyeah:

Very good and illuminating, thanks for mentioning this.

They put back in a lot of context that was removed from the American dub, added more kaiju / sea louse footage, and cut out some of the stupider jokes that redheaded member of service kept cracking.

Didn't realize until I saw this that the Russian officer was aboard the ship trying to STOP the launch.

The scene with the US and USSR diplos also ran longer and included the Japanese prime minister actually standing up more vociferously to getting double teamed for nuclear disaster.

I thought this was big- after the conference there is an establishing shot marked "RUSSIAN NUCLEAR LAUNCH SATELLITE" (or something similar.) What doesn't show up in the American cut is immediately afterward there is a shot of an even bigger and meaner looking "AMERICAN NUCLEAR LAUNCH SATELLITE," implying that both the USSR -and- the US can't really be trusted to keep the 'no nukes in space' treaty.

They look similar to 14 due to how similar the actual CGI models are, but the sculpting is a lot more detailed
