| | |  | GIFT SETS | Home » » The Godzilla Collection | | | | | | | Description: | | Gojira / Godzilla, King of the Monsters The first of the Godzilla movies, and the most somber and serious in tone, Gojiro was originally a 98-minute Japanese horror film, until a U.S. company bought the rights and reissued the film at 79 minutes, replacing sequences involving a Japanese reporter with new inserts of a dour, pipe-smoking Raymond Burr. Both versions appear together for the first time in this release from Sony Wonder. Godzilla Raids Again Godzilla is back, and this time he’s not alone! Godzilla and the spiny monster Anguirus are in a heated battle on a small Japanese island. As the threat of destruction mounts, two Japanese heroes muster their courage for the final showdown with Godzilla. Mothra vs. Godzilla After a fierce typhoon, Mothra’s gigantic egg washes ashore Japan. Meanwhile Godzilla reawakens and tramples across the land, heading straight for the big egg. Can Mothra save her offspring from Godzilla? Will Japan survive this epic monster battle? Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster -- A prophetess from Venus foretells cataclysmic disasters! Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan reappear in Japan, wreaking havoc! A giant meteor crashes into the mountains and the three-headed, fire-spitting space dragon King Ghidorah emerges! As the Venusian's prophecies come true, assassins from a tiny Asian kingdom hunt her down, while the Earth monsters must decide whether to settle their petty differences and join forces against the extraterrestrial enemy! Invasion of Astro-Monster Invasion of Astro-Monster/Godzilla vs. Monster Zero -- Aliens from Planet X borrow our monsters for a little extermination project, but they've got something else up their sleeves: world domination! Using mind-control technology, these vinyl-and-sunglasses wearing spacemen turn Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorah loose in Japan, demanding Earth's surrender! It's up to American astronaut F. Glenn, his galaxy-trotting buddy Fuji, and nerdy inventor Tetsuo to break the aliens' hold on the monsters and save our planet from certain doom. Terror of Mechagodzilla Evil spacemen from the Black Hole are plotting to flatten Tokyo and build their own utopian city. Aided by deranged scientist Dr. Mafune, the aliens unleash a rebuilt Mechagodzilla and the monster Titanosaurus to do their evil bidding, until Godzilla surfaces to defend his homeland and the earth-shattering destruction begins. | | | Features: | |

Correct titles & a bit of a trick....Nov 16, 2007
By Keith Picozzi Amazon has the incorrect titles in the boxset listed. The titles included in this are: GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS (which is 2 DVDs); GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN; MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA; GHIDORAH, THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER; INVASION OF ASTRO MONSTER; TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA; and ALL MONSTERS ATTACK
All of the titles except TOM & All Monsters Attack have been released separately prior to the inclusion in this collection, so if you do not have any of them this is a great buy!! On the other hand if you are like me and have all the titles already and were awaiting TOM & AMA to be released separate I understand they will only be released (as of now) in this collection, for only that reason I give this release 4 instead of the 5 stars it should get.

Classic Media Vs. Godzilla fansNov 17, 2007
By Pizza Without a doubt, Classic Media has done a great job presenting Godzilla the way he should be on DVD. They've previously released 5 of the big guy's flicks with both American and original Japanese edits in their widescreen glory along with some decent bonus material. The problem is two Godzilla films are currently only available in this set. It's been reported on a few posting boards that they will be released early in 2008. Good news for those of us who have been rabidly buying each title as they've been released, but it would have nice if they were put out at the same time as this set. For those who haven't dipped in the Godzilla pond yet, this is a great package if you enjoy these kinds of films.

More releases in 2008Nov 18, 2007
By Donald Godzilla Collection
I contacted Classic Media and they said the two exclusive movies in the set will be released separately in early 2008.

Giant Monsters Attack!Sep 22, 2008
By Chris Well For my birthday, my lovely wife gave me the gift of Godzilla -- The Godzilla Collection, in fact, a deluxe box set featuring seven films from the classic era of Toho Studio's most famous giant monster. These deluxe DVDs include both the original Japanese versions and the English dubbed versions, plus more than 20 hours of bonus materials, with commentary tracks, featurettes, photo galleries, and more. As a kid, I really never saw any of the Godzilla films all the way through, so this really has been a journey of discovery.
Of special note is the beautiful two-disc edition of Gojira (1954) / Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956). The original film, rarely seen outside of Japan until its 50th anniversary, is a haunting, almost lyrical post-war tale of heartbreak and loss. Compared to that, it's hard not to see the "Americanized" version as relatively clumsy, edited into a more straight-ahead creature feature that shoehorned in scenes of Raymond Burr pretending he was in the film. Each version has its own commentary track to bring historical context.
The box set also includes the sequel Godzilla Raids Again, which matches the so-so original 1955 Japanese film with the almost bizarre 1959 American recut; the 1964 feature Mothra vs. Godzilla; the 1964 monster mash Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (with no less than four mega-monsters); 1965's Invasion of Astro-Monster; the 1969 kiddie flick All Monsters Attack; and 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. [...]

ALMOST PERFECTJan 08, 2008
By JACK LOBO
"ljb926"
I have trouble understanding the implicancies of acquiring rights. But I'm sure if they were able to, the set would have contained these movies. GODZILLA, GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN, KING KONG VS GODZILLA (not in this set) MOTHRA VS GODZILLA, GHIDORAH THE THREE HEADED MONSTER, INVASION OF THE ASTRO MONSTER, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS Japanese and American international dub. (not in this set) And even though not as well done as earlier Godzilla films TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA. Terror of Mechagodzilla is the last Godzilla movie Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka, Director Inoshiro (Ishiro) Honda and Composer Akira Ifukube would work on together. I believe Special effects director Eiji Tsubraya had passed away by this time. Long time Godzilla portrayer Haruo Nakajima no longer had the eagerness to wear the heavy rubber suit. The Showa series did not end on a high note. But after the five previous efforts, Godzilla's Revenge (included in this set, but I don't like it) Godzilla vs Hedorah (the Smog Monster), Godzilla vs Gigan, Godzilla vs Megalon, and Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, none of which are in this set. Terror of Mechagodzilla is given credit as a gallant try to restore godzilla to (not quite his former glory) but at least his late 1960s heyday. Anyway thanks for reading. Please don't be too harsh on me.
