I'll be watching this film again soon as it is next on my "Godzilla marathon." It's been a couple years so I'm pretty excited to see this again. I'm hoping, soon, however that there is another R1 legit release of this film that includes menus, chapter stops, and maybe a couple special features. Is that too much to ask?

Indeed, since the ADV Films R1 has none of these.  Absolutely not. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see somebody(Mediablaster's "Tokyo Shock" or Classic Media) pick up the rights to this film in the next couple of years and put out a disc with all the things you mentioned. :) |

I like what Tokyo Shock did for Frankenstein Conquers the World. If they can simulate this sort of treatment for DAM it would be a nice little DVD set. I'd then be more than willing to pass my ADV copy down to a younger relative. Mr Green |

I don't know why the re-release of, DAM was even done, it only included the soundtrack CD, didn't it and the DVD release was the exact same as the earlier release. I'd be thrilled if all future DVD releases of any kind were given the star treatment that, Frankenstein Conquers the World was given. thumbs up |

Actually the CD addition was, according to ADV Films, why they released DAM again. I agree with you that that hardly seems like a reason to re-release it. I have the ADV Films DVD(with CD soundtrack) of Destroy All Monsters(1968), as well as a DVD-R(subtitled, in 5.0 audio and letterboxed), and I also have a DVD-R, "burned" by member Travigodzillafan@aol.com from the Yahoo Godzilla forum, the disc he mailed me(as part of an exchange) the widescreen AIP dub(and not ADV's international dub). While I'm content with my versions of this classic I would be mighty pleased to see Mediablasters or Classic Media pick this one up and give it the "star" treatment.

Did ADV ever issue a statement or reason regarding why they didn't even include a menu screen or chapter stops for the film? I felt kinda ripped off with this DVD not even including chapter stops, which I believe at a bare minimum every DVD should have. It doesnt seem like it would have required much effort to program these stops into the disc for production. I heard rumors that Toho "didn't let them" include anything but the bare film but this didnt really make any sense to me. |

I could find no actual explanation posted on the internet as to why ADV Films would release, twice in fact, such poor DVDs of Destroy All Monsters(1968). In a DVD review, and a good one, written by Anthony Romero, Toho Kingdom's site founder, he mentions that ADV Films is not known for good DVD releases. I can't really comment on that as I'm not very familiar with the ADV Films DVD library-I do have some other ADV Films DVDs, like two "Yokai War" discs, Gunhed(1989), and The Princess Blade. Here's the link to Anthony Romero's DVD review of ADV Films DAM 2-disc SE: http://www.tohokingdom.com/web_pages/dvd/dam_50_adv.htm |

I watched this film again last night. It is as good as I remember it, I had always enjoyed this one in the past. I still laugh hard every time I watch this, at the fact that during the Final battle with Ghidorah, Godzilla, Anguirus, Gorosaurus and Rodan are all trying to fight but Minya is standing around dancing and making gestures. Then after Ghidorah is down he decides to blow a smoke ring around one of his heads. This has always been ridiculously hilarious to me every time I watch this film. |

Did you purchase this film on DVD-R or what is the ADV Films R1 release? I keep thinking you told me you bought this movie on DVD-R but my memory(as usual ) is a little hazy here about this.

No I didnt get this one on DVD-R, I just have the crummy ADV release. I may get a better version DVD-R of this sometime, but for now I am content with waiting for awhile and hoping a legit version, with widescreen and tons of special features, is eventually released. |

The consensus right now, Josh, is that as long as ADV holds the U.S. rights to this film there will not be another DVD released of this film on R1. Hopefully, when ADV's rights expire(whenever that may be) perhaps Mediablasters or Sony will step in and purchase the rights to DAM for a quality R1 DVD release. |

Yeah, that's what I was hoping would happen. But that probably won't be for a long while. |

I can one VERY good think about DAM is the Earth monsters vs King Ghidorah. B) |
