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

Not too get too off topic, but the Goblin score is still there, just slightly re-arranged. The "Extended cut" features additional library music that isn't heard in the theatrical version, but it cuts out very, very little of the original Goblin score. The Dario Argento version uses too many of the same Goblin themes, which really hurts it IMO, and it also cuts out most of the library tracks heard in Romero's cuts.

Argento tried to make his "ZOMBI" version more "serious" thus he removed scenes and music he felt were too comical. Oddly enough, his version has footage that doesn't exist in either the theatrical OR extended cuts!

I would totally do a version of DOTD with all the footage from the Cannes and Argento versions, but somebody beat me to it.

I think the first version was done by a German fan wayyy back in the 80's, or possibly even earlier (I can't remember exactly when at the moment). Fans generally refer to it as the "Ultimate cut", I believe. I think several other versions exist, but I've had very little luck tracking any of them down, and when I do, I have problems. Tamura, please PM me if you have an idea of where I can find a decent version of it.

^ Same, I would be interested in this cut.

It's still there, just with three seeders

Found it. Odd how the word "Biollante" is no where in the title or torrent description.

Did you download this? Hows the quality?

I think it looks great. There's no annoying pixelation, the audio is fine, and the lighting doesn't seem to be a problem as I've yet to see any obvious strings.

There is a bug in the lower right corner for each movie but it never bothered me.

I love the frigging poop out of Godzilla vs Biollante. Its my favorite plot of the hole series. When it comes to the dubbed movies, (cause I own the HBO VHS version) this is the one I felt least detached to. But Since I've been updating my collection with the official Japanese version I've dieing for this one to come out so i can enjoy it in its full glory.

Despite all that, I'm going to have to place my vote on Return of Godzilla. I've never seen it (only seen Godzilla 1985) and because it is such an altered version (My world was changed when i found out that the Russians naval officer didn't launch that nuke with his last dieing breath).

My hope is that there all coming at once when the reboot is close to release.

There's nothing special about the Japanese version, IMO. It's the same length as the dub and the only visual difference is a ton of annoying subtitles for everything.

Agreed. I have the VHS dub and the R2 DVD (bootleg R0). If they do do a DVD or BRD Id like the choice though..

Well, half the movie is in English, so I wouldn't say the subtitles are for everything.

What I was trying to say is that since half the movie is in English, the Japanese print has embedded Japanese subtitles for all instances of English dialogue. Why any self-respecting American kaiju fan would care about them is beyond me.

Because it's pure uneditted film! It's ok to add subtitles but you must never remove! OMG that's so totally blasphemous!

Well this poll is technically pointless being that Megalon is officially happening, but nonetheless I voted RoG.

[gvamp]

As is Biollante at some point down the road.

They confirmed it?

Godzilla vs Biollante will most likely get a release, but if you bothered to read the threads, theyre attempting to get a master print of Biollante before working on a release.

I think this thread should be locked and another made..... "You can chose ONE: RoG, RoG/G85 Two-Back or GvsBiollante".

I do read the threads thank you very much, but I didn't see any official confirmation, so I asked.

Well since I posted directly what Miramax emailed Eastwood and what he C&P'd me, yeah Im say that's official.

Return by a nose. I almost went with Biollante and, in fact, I almost think both movies should be released as a double-feature. They are not only linked tightly continuity-wise, they also stand out tonally from the rest of the Heisei series. While the 91 - 95 entries were played reasonably straight, there was still plenty of outlandish, even goofy, elements. Return and Biollante remain the only Heisei films that 'feel' like they belong with G 54, being somber, well-paced, moody, and topical in the right ratios.

... I almost think both movies should be released as a double-feature. They are not only linked tightly continuity-wise, they also stand out tonally from the rest of the Heisei series.

I fully agree. However, when I suggested this some time ago I was made aware that two different companies have the rights to each film, so a double feature can't/won't really happen. Someone has to get the rights to both.
