That would be a good idea. It's like having a piece of history on hand, and in archives, much as I feel about my DVD-R copy of an AMC Monsterfest broadcast of Frankenstein Conquers The World(1966), circa 1999. thumbs up |

I just got to watch this one today, I'd prior heard alot of people say it wasn't a very good entry but upon seeing I quite liked it...I would say it was one of the better entries as it was a rather fun and the first multi-monsters smack down and the first time Rodan appeared in a Godzilla and origin of King Ghidorah....even the human story wasn't as dull or clumsy as alot of them....all and all this was a pretty good Godzilla film. |

OFF TOPIC: I've got that Monsterfest movie on VHS too. The noteworthy thing about that are the host segments with Stan Winston. In the background it featured a human-sized maquette of Godzilla that would've been used in Jan DeBont's Godzilla film. Here's some pics of the monster:    ON TOPIC: "Ghidrah" is easily one of my favorite Godzilla films. It features interesting characters, a great score, and monster battles galore. Ghidorah is a pure powerhouse in this film. I love the fact that, much like in Destroy All Monsters, it takes a group of kaiju to defeat him. |

I'll have to agree this was definitely high up on my list, I can't think of whay so many were so quick to insult it. I also think some of the effects is this films looked like some of the best of the Showa era...other then that little bridge tumbling over which looked really silly....but I really liked this one too. |

I've seen pics of what Godzilla might have looked like in the DeBont G film: IMO they looked great and this monster would have been much better received, overall, than GINO. Thanks for posting those images, Dan. thumbs up |

Those pictures of what would have been the Godzilla in the Jan Debont directed Godzilla film capture, IMO, the essence of Godzilla, as an ass kicking, take no prisoners monster. I've also seen images of what the "gryphon" monster would have looked like, which G would have battled in the DeBont movie. Not only here in America but I also think this movie would have been a huge hit in Japan as well. ;) |

my main problem with that suit is it's way too pale and Godzilla's dark colouring is a big part of Godzilla trademark appearance as well as his scales that looks like tree bark....one thing I've noticed is that the head shape is not unlike that of Godzilla during Heisei era |

 Another thing that is amusing about this film: the bad guys who are not the brightest of light bulbs. I also thought their firearms looked like little more than water squirt guns. Obviously I wasn't expecting any of the thugs to brandish .44 caliber revolvers but the little pop guns they wielded looked and sounded like cheap fireworks. |

I just love how this movie is EVERYTHING a kaiju fan loves. You have the Mothra Faries, Godzilla, Rodan Mothra and King Ghidrah. Great Epic Battle. |

Some of the music from the American Version of this movie came from other movies. Such as the scene where they are hiking through Kerobe Velley. I'm not sure where that track orignally comes from, but I have all of the production music from "Ren and Stimpy" and it was used on it. Weird. |

Oh my god! I think you're right! It is the same music. LOL Y'know I think that cue may have also been used in the 1966-67 animated SPIDER-MAN series. |
