Product Information
Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films, 1954-1975 (Criterion Collection) In 1954, an enormous beast clawed its way out of the sea, destroying everything in its path—and changing movies forever. The arresting original Godzilla soon gave rise to an entire monster-movie genre (kaiju eiga), but the King of the Monsters continued to reign supreme: in fourteen fiercely entertaining sequels over the next two decades, Godzilla defended its throne against a host of other formidable creatures, transforming from a terrifying symbol of nuclear annihilation into a benevolent (if still belligerent) Earth protector. Collected here for the first time are all fifteen Godzilla films of Japan’s Showa era, in a landmark set showcasing the technical wizardry, fantastical storytelling, and indomitable international appeal that established the most iconic giant monster the cinema has ever seen. Eight-disc set includes: Godzilla (1954) Atomic testing in the Pacific awakens a gigantic reptilian creature dubbed Godzilla off the coast of Japan and sends the monstrous menace on a rampage across Tokyo and its environs. Director Ishiro Honda's "kaiju" classic spawned innumerable sequels; Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, Momoko Kochi, and Haru Nakajima star. Includes the original Japanese release "Gojira" and the 1956 re-dubbed American version "Godzilla, King of the Monsters," with Raymond Burr. 96 min. In Japanese with English subtitles/Dubbed in English. Godzilla Raids Again (1955) While flying over a remote island, two pilots spot Godzilla (which may or may not be the same Big G supposedly destroyed in the first film) fighting with another creature, the spine-covered Anguirus. When the beasts' battle brings them to mainland Japan, officials must find a way to stop their destructive "monster mash." Minoru Chiaki, Hiroshi Koizumi star. 82 min. In Japanese with English subtitles King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) It's the showdown monster fans dreamed of, as the great ape is found alive and well (!) in the South Seas and brought to Japan, where he has an all-out slugfest atop Mt. Fuji with the mean, green lizard king. Michael Keith, James Yagi, and Mie Hama co-star alongside the two biggest titans in movie history. 91 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) A giant egg washes up on a Japanese beach and is taken to a Tokyo amusement park. But when the egg's mother--the winged wonder known as Mothra--shows up to reclaim it, and a revived Godzilla is on the rampage in Tokyo, the stage is set for a monster-sized showdown. Akira Takarada, Yuriko Hoshi, and the Ito Sisters star. 89 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster (1964) Mothra, Rodan, and the king of them all, Godzilla, join forces to protect the Earth from the alien menace of King Ghidorah, a thrice-domed, golden-scaled, bat-winged beastie with designs on widespread property destruction. This spectacular monster mash solidified the green guy's conversion from villain to hero. Yosuke Natsuki, Yuriko Hoshi star. 93 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. Invasion Of Astro-Monster (1965) An alien planet asks to "borrow" Earth monsters Godzilla and Rodan to help them defeat their own indigenous menace, triple-headed Ghidorah, who moved off-world after his defeat in the 1964 film that bore his name (how embarrassing). Little do the gargantuan good guys know it's all part of a sinister invasion plot. Nick Adams stars as an Earth astronaut. 94 min. In Japanese with English subtitles/Dubbed in English. Ebirah, Horror Of The Deep (1966) Remember those Sea Monkeys you had as a kid? Well, one of them's 160 feet long and being used by a terrorist group out to take over the world! Good thing their island base is also home to Godzilla, who teams with Mothra to turn the colossal crustacean into so much shrimp cocktail. Akira Takarada, Jun Tazaki star. AKA: "Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster." 88 min. In Japanese with English subtitles. Son Of Godzilla (1968) It'sProduct Identifiers

Excellent Blu-ray collection
The item arrived early in excellent new condition as described, was well priced, plays well, and is an excellent Blu-ray collection! I've personally always been a fan of kaiju/giant/monster films, and Godzilla is the biggest name in the genre. This collection has mostly the original Japanese versions of the fifteen Showa Era films, with the North American versions included for a small number. As for audio options English dubbing is available for some while the rest have English subtitles at best. Regardless this is an excellent Blu-ray collection of these films, and I am quite happy to own it!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Godzilla from the Showa-era!!!
Even though it was expensive, it was worth it. I grew up watching more than a few of the Godzilla movies from the Showa-era on VHS back in the day. I originally thought of buying most of them on DVD, separately. That it until I discovered this complete collection. And it was very difficult to save up for it for quite some time. But I finally managed to purchase this complete blu-ray collection.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not perfect but pretty darn close!
So glad to finally have this collection in HD. The films look great in CinemaScope and color. Most of the movies were taken from 35mm prints rather than the negatives, but they still look clean and theatrical. Sound is good too, though I wish English tracks were available for all of them instead of just some. Still, I am enjoying this terrific collection. BTW it comes with a book that has lots of interesting information about each movie. Neato!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Godzilla!!
Love Godzilla, when I bought this I was expecting a nice case with the movies. I did not realize that it's also an art book and film collection. It can make a really neat piece on the bookshelf as a result with beautiful pieces for each movie and reviews on each movie/what that movie meant to different creators.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
