Godzilla Vs Megalon DVD: Review By Phantanos

Way back in 1976. The Giant monster craze reared it's ugly head with the remake of King Kong. Other film companies followed in it's destructive path...

Toho, (which had severed it's ties with American International Pictures), Turned to Cinema Shares, to released their movies: Godzilla vs Gigan, Godzilla vs Megalon, and Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla.

Unfortunately the distribution company was unreliable. The films were released out of sequence. This film was released first. It made a tidey sum at the box office.

It then got the attention of NBC. Executives there saw it as a TV Special. That featured John Belushi,( in a Rubber Godzilla Suit), in between commercials.

When home video players, were being introduced into homes. This movie was released on VHS. Yet it was not the theatrical version. What was shown was the publiic domain NBC Version. Minus Belushi. An edited, croped to pan and scan, faded version of it's former self.

It took 33 years to finally see the film, as some have never seen it before.

Kick back! Eat popcorn with the kids and enjoy the monster sized Championship wrestling match. In TOHOSCOPE! With dual language tracks in English, Japanese.
