Hey, don't forget that Classic Media also plans to release the original Japanese version of GOJIRA this summer. Add that to you DVD "must buy" list! |

I know how you feel. I live in the sticks and with the only Sam Goody in the area shutting down, that was my last chance to MAYBE locate a coppy, locally. Sam Goody was always hit and miss with finding the kinds of releases I wanted and their prices were always high, but still, it was kind of nice to sometimes find the titles I wanted. Looks like the majority of my DVD shopping for genre titles will have to be made online. |

Probably because this film rarely makes television appearances and also because it has never had an official Reg 1 DVD release. So did I. The music sounded very dreary, surprisingly fitting for this grim film.
Indeed. Two of the more appealing aspects of this movie were Godzilla's "aura" in this movie, and the introduction of Angilas, the second kaiju to hit the big screen for Toho(after Godzilla of course). I thought the rendering of Angilas was very good- hard-charging, fearless, heavily armored monster, who gave Godzilla a good fight. :) |

I always try to catch (and remember) the central characters' names in all the movies I watch. It's a lot harder to do with Japanese films however. ;) |

There seem to be a lot of pretty women in these classic Toho Godzilla and kaiju films, and I for one am not complaining. Mr Green |

Godzilla X Mechagodzilla(2002), Godzilla Tokyo SOS(2003)-in the latter, she has a few brief scenes, and in the former, she is the "star" Yumiko Shaku is also in the drama/fantasy Sky High and in The Princess Blade(released by ADV films-it is a sword and martial arts film) thumbs up |

I still can't place her. The actresses in all of Tezuka's G-flicks blend together. |

If you own Godzilla X Mechagodzilla(2002) she plays Akane Yoshiro, the principal "star" of this film. Below image: Yumiko Shaku(as "Akane Yoshiro" in 2002's G X MG) |

Really looking forward to getting GRA on DVD when the Godzilla box set arrives. I know these movies will be dual-language. Does this mean we'll be getting Gigantis, The Fire Monster as well? Banana Oil! |
