The first of the Godzilla movies, and the most somber and serious in tone, Gojiro was originally a 98-minute Japanese horror film, until a U.S. company bought the rights and reissued the film at 79 minutes, replacing sequences involving a Japanese reporter with new inserts of a dour, pipe-smoking Raymond Burr. Both versions appear together for the first time in this release from Sony Wonder.

This beautiful two-disc collection includes both Gojira (1954) and Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956). The original film, rarely seen outside of Japan for 50 years, is a haunting, almost lyrical post-war tale of heartbreak and loss. The clumsy "Americanized" version was edited into a more straight-ahead creature feature that shoehorned in scenes of Raymond Burr pretending he was in the film. Each version has its own commentary track to bring historical context. Having both films together is the ... Read More

Watch the original Gojira, throw away the American bastardization with Raymond Burr. These five stars are for the Japanese original only. In the American mess, you can see that in the added scenes with Burr, even the lighting is different from the original. Very tacky. I hope Burr was properly ashamed of himself. Equally as important as its entertainment value, but often overlooked, Gojira made an important political statement in light of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Holy crap.
First of all, I've loved the original GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS since I was a kid. It was the first Godzilla movie I ever saw, and I've been a big Godzilla fan and collector ever since.
Then, one day, I find out that the version of the film that I'd known and loved for years is actually not the original version; rather, a re-edit for American audiences. And since every person I've ever spoken or been in contact with has told me that the Japanese version is infinately better, ... Read More

The best of the best. The darkest of all the Godzilla series. The one and only 1954 Japanese classic, Gojira. This is the real deal my fellow Godzilla fans. Finally after many years of waiting we finally get to see Gojira in its full glory.
Mans arrogance and ignorance of the nuclear bomb has spawned a monster who is more powerful than the very weapon that created the monstrous creature...this is Godzilla. Angered by his rebirth into an unfamiliar world, the giagntic saurian lashes out at the ... Read More

This is the best Godzilla I have ever seen; and I watch him all the time! Gojira is an excellent movie in which the Japanese show the viewer what actually did happen at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is genuinely frightening during the scenes of destruction; especially with small vignettes like the woman who tells her children, "We will be with your father soon," as they huddle in a corner. It is in Japanese with English subtitles.
I have a genuine liking for Godzilla in all his aspects; and the original ... Read More
