You can have ONE, choose! RoG/G85 or GvsB

I meant English dub, not English version. It's actually one of the few that I enjoy the dub version equally.

[omgitsgodzilla]

Hold on there, pal. Actually after looking at my post (I posted early in the morning) I meant to say Japanese. Also, it's not racist, unless one uses it in a negative context. In that context it could just be an abbreviation of Japanese.

Yeah, I know. It was a joke

[Motorheadbanger]

I understood the joke. Just making sure someone didn't take it the wrong way get the "politically correct police" involved.

[omgitsgodzilla]

Obsessive-compulsive political correctness is for pussies. I'm not the sort that thinks no one should be made fun of. I think everyone should be if there's something worth making fun of them for. In short, I really don't care about that sort of thing

[HoboBob]

I only have a VHS copy of the two movies, and they're both in pretty bad quality. I mean unlicensed Megalon bad quality level. So, I could go with either one. I've never watched '85 all the way through, and GvB was the first Godzilla movie I ever watched (it's also my favorite.) I'm voting GvB, for nostalgic reasons.

[Irys X]

Return of Godzilla. I already have both on vhs but the dub on G vs. B isnt terrible. Godzilla 1985 and RoG are two totally different movies. I've seen the Japanese version, and I think its better, so im goin with that.

[Giga Kaiju]

Return of Godzilla\Godzilla 1985 Want to see that one in Clear Presentation and also becuase we havent heared about a release in some time.

[UltramanGoji]

GvB, because I haven't seen this movie in my life. Not gonna hunt down a VHS either.

[MechaGamera]

I have these 2 movies on DVD though the English subs also come up with cantonese as well.

[BountyHunter]

I pick both movies but on one DVD. That counts as one, right? lol

That's the downside to the R3 releases. The screen is literally cluttered with text.

Dude, you hardly have to hunt them down. They're right there on Amazon. Good quality, and in widescreen. Just not in Japanese.

I would do that, but my VHS player is on the fritz after I tried to play an old recorded video.

Off-topic, but I looked on Amazon's Customer Reviews, and.. well, it speaks for itself.

Hello my name is Timothy and I am 10 years old.I am Godzillas biggest fan.I saw this movie and it was the worst Godzilla movie there is.I love Godzilla but this movie was horrible.Godzilla didnt show up for like,45 miutes and it was 18 minutes afer he showed up that he fought Biollante and the fight was only 3 minutes.Next Godzilla attacked Osaka and destroyed the super-x 2 while he was destroying the city.Finally the military came up with a plan to get godzilla sleepy and they could destoy him and Biollante in evloved form interrupted and started fighting godzilla,and just as the last battle,it was 5 minutes long.2 minutes longer than the first battle.I love Godzilla in this movie but the rest is a crazy story.It ruined the Hensi series.This would have gotten another star if the title was better.It shouldnt have Biollante on the cover.Dont buy this movie.It will ruin your godzilla loving life.

^You're going to take the opinion of a 10 year old?

No, It's just that this kid claims to be such a big fan, yet he claims one movie will "ruin your godzilla loving life".

Plus, he can't even spell "Heisei".

[gvamp]

He's a kid he doesn't know any better, he'll come to apperciate the film in due time.

Ah. Yeah, not to mention VCRs can screw up from not being used often enough. I think it's the drive belts or something.

And this, children, is why underage users are hated here. They're mostly dumb little shits who can't critique a film for what it is or tries to be, and instead can only focus on what they WANT it to be. XD

If I was 10 when I first saw Biollante ,I'd probably say the same thing. Hell, my big faves back then were the Showa (Except the the first two which I never seen until 2005/06 on Youtube )which were not the best exactly. But hell, they were skreeonk awesome with my young mind rolling and making them badass. I just hope they capture that charm in the reboot and have it be dark.

Going back to the subject, I'd take a double CM feature of RoG and Biollante ( The Dubs, subs and special features from the R2) and kill that 1985 film with fire please. While KOTM added to the film, 1985 just neutered it's source. My ideal LP Godzilla film will take aspects from both KOTM and Gojira ... but that's not the topic of discussion is it?

But if that's not the option, I'll take Biollante over RoG. Biollante to me is helluva more interesting than its prequel, especially with the side story of that girl ,her death and the creation of Biollante, the terrorist plot to bring Godzilla back... I wished they expanded on the claymation and did the entire film like that because the one clip of it just convinced me it would've made the film a cult following and been really cool. That's my only gripe because it was a big improvement over 1984 which was to me a pale update to the first film, not really a film I'd watch many times but decent compared what came before....

How can you kill G85 with fire?! It's American nostalgia.

It's like the equivalent of Dragonball Evolution for Godzilla. The American scenes feel disconnected from the Japanese source and more like MSTK3000 but without any humor . I wish it was a parody ,but it isn't . While Raymond Burr is great in this, he should've had a bigger role in it alongside the US in general and actually gave significance and effect to the Japanese stock footage because initially, it looks like two different films were spliced together and called it a day. It's ok , but it could've been a lot better executed. I don't mind it being released with the Japanese original, but I hope they are on both different discs so I can just ignore the 1985 version.
