Breakdown of differences between versions?

Post by **Demiurge** » Thu Dec 21, 2017 6:40 pm

Apologies in case this belongs in another, already existing thread, but I wonder if any kind and knowledgeable soul here knows and could list all the visual differences between v1.0 (the Japanese theatrical version, which has been released on home video in Hong Kong and the UK) and v2.0 (the Japanese home video version, which is the default home version in most countries where the film has been released AFAIK)?

The most widely known ones are the added heat exhaustion from the helicopters and a replaced close-up of Godzilla's head, but I've seen some claim there are more instances of updated/polished VFX - however, I can't find any lists, videos or whatever that actually detail what those alterations are, if they do indeed exist. So I would be very grateful if someone could clear this up for me!

I think the booklet on the Japanese Blu-ray release has a list of all the changes, but since I'm not fluent in Japanese, I can't tell what the others are aside from the aforementioned two.

Interesting. If that is the case, then you'd think someone out there who has the Japanese release would be able to translate.

Spoiler:

Yes, those are the changes I mentioned in the original post; I'm wondering if there are any additional alterations. I've seen people claim there are, but haven't seen any visual proof to confirm it.

I'm not completely sure, but I think there may have been some mention of some of the on-screen captions being revised. I don't recall where exactly I heard that or what led me to that conclusion but I think I heard something to that effect.

The U.S. home video release of Shin Godzilla does not have Japanese captions. I assume its based off the 2.0 version.

In the US version, Kong wins.
