Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (Gojira tai Mekagojira) | = |
There are six DVD releases of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla available around the globe. Most of them should be avoided as they are hideous full-frame, cut versions taken from battered and beaten print sources. For Japanese speaking fans the best version seems to be the R2 (Japan) disc which is supposedly a 97-minute cut of the film and contains an audio commentary (in Japanese only) by Special Effects Director Teruyoshi Nakano. For English-only audiences the best version appears to be our own 80-minute version. Taking into account NTSC speed-up, our cut of the film is the same as the Region 1, Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment release. We also have a 5.1 Japanese audio mix not found on the Region 1 release (albeit a rather lacklustre 5.1 mix). |
