Toho Master Collection now what?

[Tohosaurus]

GUNHED is dirt cheap on amazon.com. YAMATO..not so much.

Yeah, hence me saying it was the former (YT) that's getting pricier.

Hey JVM you may be right about the 1954 GKM Japanese version it was and still is a dark movie about mans stupidity , but I know that no matter what Godzilla I'm watching I find something I like except the fake NY Godzilla. It's a shame when someone takes them selves so seriously that they just can't chill watch a DVD and accept it for what and when it is. So BOOHOO to you and by the way your not the spokesman for all the people on this site thank god your mind is closed stop taking yourself so seriously

Take 'er easy there partner. I don't think he's taking himself too seriously, and in any event I think he's at least partially right. Many Godzilla movies aren't "good" movies. Don't confuse that with enjoyment though. A person can fully enjoy or love a "bad" or "mediocre" movie.

I missed the "in the case of the former" part somehow, my bad.

I'm really glad I found YAMATO at a used DVD/record shop for a measly $6 a couple of years. I'm honestly pretty surprised how much second hand copies are going for on amazon right now.

Are you David Nunez?

I can understand ocassionally getting upset with some of the things JVM says..but I don't really understand what you're even complaining about here. Your post is such a garbled mess, it just seems like a stream of consciousness, more than anything.

I'll have to make an Amazon run for YT. Actually I might have to make a run for G85 and Biollante because I got my VHS copies of the movies that still don't have DVD releases wayyy back when they first came out. They aren't looking so great anymore.

Finding new unused VHS is probably going to be difficult, if not expensive. If you have the capability, you could just transfer copies to DVD for your own personal use, thats what I did with all my Toho films that dont currently have Licensed R1 DVD releases.

I wasn't planning on new for that very reason. I am pretty incapable right now of doing a convert but I may try this summer. Just have to see. Or I may try to find a cheap region free DVD player from Amazon or something and order these region 3s:

Understood. But in my past experience purchasing used VHS are usually in no better conditions than the ones I already had. I recently had to replace my "Yog Monster from Space" VHS because my VCR ate my old copy .

Thankfully it was less than ten dollars to replace it with the Trans-Atlantic release, but it is another problem avoided if I can get this on DVD. That is one of the last films I have yet to make a successful DVD transfer too. As you said "may try this summer. Just have to see".

Yeah the best thing for me is probably to just do what I said and buy a cheap region free player and buy some affordable region 3 DVDs but I've never done any of that so I don't know how it works. As a result I've been leery of trying it for fear of wasted money, time, and HOPE. lol

I would like to see Sony re-release their Godzilla catalog on DVD/Blu-Ray in a way similar to how they handled that "Icons of Sci-Fi" set. Both versions of each film and a film historian commentary track. It would be great to get the U.S. versions of Sea Monster, Son Of Godzilla, and Smog Monster on DVD.

Sony badly needs to update some of their Toho films anyway. It's 2012 and I still have to watch Godzilla vs King Ghidorah in full screen dubbed.

[Crazy Jim Films]

Yeah. Those 1990's Godzilla titles could also definitely use the attention. I can only hope they'll do something by the time, the new "Godzilla" film hits the big screen but even sooner, would get no complaints from me.

I'd much rather get some decent copies of the Heisei films than new copies of Sony's Showa library TBH

Honestly, I gotta agree. Aside from Mechagodzilla, the Heisei films and Godzilla 2000 are in much more desperate need of a reissue. Hell, even Mechagodzilla has dubtitles and the cut end credits.

Yep. Real subs. HD anamorphic widescreen. Blu-Rays. Etc.

i just got the mothra vs godzilla one thiw both american and japanese verisions on it. supposed to have an audio commentary in the bonus section but i cant get it to work. anybody have any info on this? is there some secret trick to getting this feature to work?

[o.supreme]

If you see this menu, go to Special Features.



If not, or it dosen't work, try a different DVD player. It could be multiple issues

1. How old is your DVD player?
2. What Country do you live in?

[locomike65]

im in the USA player is aapprox 4 years old. when that menu comes up i ckick special features. the only version that has an opsiton for the sudio commentary is the english one. i underline it and hit enter then the movie starts but no commentary???? idk what im doing wrong

[Space Hunter M]

is there some secret trick to getting this feature to work?

This bug seems to be on every copy of the DVD, but there is a solution: Just manually swap the tracks using your remote's "Audio" button.

[locomike65]

lemme try that real quick. thanks
