Atragon: (1963) Letterboxed print of this surprisingly entertaining Toho sci-fi outing. As the Japanese legend goes there was another continent between South America and Africa in the Pacific, called Mu (they weren't good with names, I guess), long ago it sunk into the sea a la Atlantis and was never heard from again. Now they are attempting to resurface and destroy the world's cities and dominate the planet. A long lost Japanese sub designer has been off on an island since the war and has developed a super-sub called Atragon and is called upon to do battle with Mu and it's killer sub. Fun stuff and since it's from Toho there's a giant monster thrown in for good measure. Includes trailer and overture. In Japanese with English subtitles. [B] |
Daikaiju Baran: (1958) A.k.a. Varan the Unbelievable. Letterboxed print of this classic Toho monster flick. A group of scientists looking for butterflies on a remote Japanese island stumble across and subsequently piss off the local mountain god. After it rampages through the local village destroying everything in sight, there's only one thing to do. Send in the military and kill it, of course! When will they learn? This only makes the daikaiju in question really, really angry. In Japanese with English subtitles. Includes overture and trailers. [B] |

Destroy all Monsters: (1968) Original print of this classic all-star monster bash in it's original Japanese form, with Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah, and many more.

Widescreen in Japanese with English subs [B] |

Frankenstein vs. Baragon: (1965) Great, if somewhat cheeseball Toho reworking of the Frankenstein mythos. During WWII the German's were working on re-creating the Frankenstein experiments with the actual heart, but the Japanese decided to take it for their own nefarious uses. They try the experiments and it goes horribly wrong, mutating with the Hiroshima blasts to make a super Frankenstein monster, that eventually does battle with Baragon, to everyone's delight. Letterboxed, in Japanese with English subtitles. [B] |
Godzilla Fantasia / The Legend of Godzilla: (1984) Everybody's favorite big green guy in an official collection of clips (pre-Biollante) from the Big G's best scenes set to the original soundtrack music. Also included is a Toho Fantasia that chronicles the exploits of the big G outside of his own films. [B] |

Godzilla Fantasia 2 / Godzilla Trailer Collection: (1997) The follow up to the original Godzilla Fantasia kicks into high gear with clips of the new Thunder Lizard flicks, again set to classical music. Also included is a fantastic collection of trailers from all of Godzilla's library of films. Phew! [B] |
Godzilla King of the Monsters: (1954) The original Japanese version of the classic that started it all. No Raymond Burr inserts, no chops, no cuts, in excellent quality with English subs! After 42 years this one is still a great monster flick (back in the good ol' days when the big G was a mean sumbitch). [B] |
|
Godzilla 1985: (1984) Original Japanese version of this cool, underrated begining of the last new wave of Big G features. No decrepit Perry Mason, no chops, lotsa fun. Did I mention how nice this sucker looks in letterbox format? Widescreen in Japanese with English subs. [B] |
|
Godzilla Vs. Biollante: (1989) Vastly underrated and totally entertaining big G outing that is the first of the "new" Godzilla films in which the mean green one goes to war with a genetically engineered creature who undergoes a transformation (two beasts for the price of one!). Green plasma flies fast n' furious in this one. Excellent looking print, widescreen in Japanese with English subs. [B] |
|
Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah: (1991) Excellent entry in the new series, with time travelers from the future, returning to Earth's past to prevent a disaster: the revivification of the three headed dragon, Ghidorah.

The Ultraman wannabe Jet Jaguar notifies Godzilla and the battle is joined. This print contains extra footage not found in the US versions. |
|
Godzilla Vs. Mothra: (1992) Once again it's time to give VSoM the finger and pick up a mint quality print of this fan-fave entry that features the ever popular duo and the new evil monster Battra! Action and FX packed (as usual for these newer ones), with a funny Indiana Jones rip-off in the beginning (don't ask). Widescreen in Japanese with English subs. Includes a bunch of trailers as well. [B] |
|
Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster: (1966) A.k.a. Godzilla Ebirah Mothra: War on the South Sea, Ebirah Horror of the Deep.

A couple of kids (well, ok, twenty somethings) decide to take off in an expensive boat and take the unwilling owner along for the ride. The run across a desert isle that, as they find out, is being run by some weird cult. The island is protected by Ebirah and since they are evil Godzilla and Mothra step in to whup some!

Godzilla Vs. Space Godzilla: (1994) The second to the last entry in the current series, with the Giant Scaly One (I'm startin' to run out of clever nicknames, here) squaring off against Space Godzilla (an evil cross between Godzilla and a geode), with the help of li'l G and an army created battle mech called MOGARA. Good fun, with a rousing musical score and kick-ass CGI FX (as usual). Widescreen in Japanese with English subs with a whole slew of trailers and promo spots. [B] |
Godzilla vs. The Destroyer: (1996) The last (for now, anyway) Big G flick! Godzilla's radio-active, nuclear power core-like heart has gone redline and if the Big G nukes, he'll take the planet with him. Massive destruction, new adversaries, and lots of awesome FX! A must Widescreen in Japanese with English subs, and as usual includes a whole mess o' trailers, promos and TV spots. [B] |

Goke, the Body Snatcher from Hell: (1969) Uncut, letterboxed print of this popular Japanese sci-fi horror outing about a planeload of lobbyists, politicians, assassins and idiots (redundant, you say?) who crash in the middle of nowhere after being buzzed by a UFO. Once through squabbling among themselves they find that they are doomed to die by a race of extra-terrestrial blobs that take host inside a humans head and vampirize others. Nice and nihilistic, if a bit preachy about the evils of war. |

This version is the original Japanese release and contains all footage missing from the US version. In Japanese with English subtitles. Includes trailer and overture. [B] |
Kamen Rider ZO & J: (1993 & 1994) This slick FX extravaganza kinda runs like a cross between Ultraman and The Guyver, except it's much cooler.

This flick is loaded with all kinds of FX (prosthetic, optical, CGI, stop-motion, etc) and baddass monsters. Preceded by Kamen Rider Shin. Kamen Rider J is the cool sequel to Kamen Rider ZO that sets up a new Kamen Rider guy who can "jump" to a Godzilla size and brawl with the big guys. Lotsa monsters and FX as usual. Widescreen in Japanese with English subs. Includes trailers for both features as well as many other monster/superhero flicks. [B, ½] |

Kamen Rider Shin: (1992) A.k.a. The Masked Rider. Fun theatrical treatment of the Kamen Rider comics. As part of a scientific experiment, a young man is genetically altered to become the incredible Kamen Rider, a motorcycle ridin’ superhero who takes on intergalactic monsters in similar vein to The Guyver, except much more violent. Unlike the excellent direct-to-video series, this one concentrates less on computer FX and more on prosthetic FX and gore. In Japanese with English subtitles. [B] |

The planet Mysteriod is invading Earth (via Japan of course) and the nations must band together to stop them by any means necessary! Amazing FX for the time.
