Godzilla 1985 (1985), Ghidrah, the
Three-Headed Monster (1966) and the
classic Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
(1974).
To round things out, Universal
Home Video's one Godzilla title, King
Kong vs. Godzilla, is being released, too.
Toho and Universal also hoped to unite
Godzilla and Frankenstein, but that
classic never made it to the screen.
Godzilla academics argue over the
details of the Godzilla films. Did
Godzilla really die in the original? If
so, who is the Godzilla in the sequels?
And if there is a- Godzilla Jr., is
Godzilla a he or a she?
In 1995, Toho Studios made their
last "official" entry in the "Godzilla"
saga, Godzilla vs. Destroyer. This left
the market open for Columbia/TriStar
to make their uber-Godzilla for a
worldwide mass audience.
But can the Hollywood-ized
Godzilla — who's headed to New
York in this version by the makers of
the blockbuster Independence Day —
measure up to the unabashed campy
charm of Toho's darling dinosaur?
There is something to celebrate in
Toho's cheap special effects, an appeal
that shouldn't be overlooked. Even
though Godzilla has gone Hollywood,
Toho is said to be working on a new
adventure featuring King Ghidorah,
the three-headed monster.
Here's a look at Godzilla on home
video:
• Godzilla, King of the Monsters,
starring Inoshiro Honda, Raymond
Burr and Takashi Shimura. Directed
by Inoshiro Honda and Terry Morse.

utes). Available on DVD.

series of hydrogen bomb tests awaken
a giant, dinosaur-like monster. A
cranky Godzilla comes to mainland
Japan to breathe fire and destroy
everything in his path. Burr and a
Japanese scientist battle the monster.
• Godzilla vs. Mothra, starring Akira
Takarada, Hiroshi Koizumi and
Yuriko Hoshi. Directed by Inoshiro
Honda. 1964 (Simitar Entertainment,
106 minutes). Available on DVD.
In Mosura tai Gojira, as it was
called in Japan, two miniature women
are taken off Infant Island as a
sideshow attraction. This unleashes
the vengeance of the giant moth,
Mothra. Godzilla gallantly steps in to
save the day.

ring Nick Adams, Akira Takarada and
