Eight New Godzilla Films on Blu-ray From Sony

Last Tuesday, Sony released eight Godzilla films on Blu-ray in four sets under the title "The Toho Godzilla Collection".


All eight films are each on their own disc, mostly no notable special features, but some have a few.  I'll go into more detail below.

Godzilla VS King Ghidorah (1991)

Godzilla VS King Ghidorah is probably the best looking feature in the collection.  The movie kind of "reboot" the Godzilla series after the failure that was Godzilla VS Biollante.  This film is oddly a time travel movie, but it works well.  Time travelers from 2204 come to the present time and inform them that Godzilla will destroy Tokyo.  To prevent this, they propose going back in time and removing Godzilla before he mutates from a normal sized dinosaur.  There are a few twists, but King Ghidorah shows up! The disc features English and Japanese audio tracks and subtitles.

Special features:
  • Original trailers
Featured monsters:
  • Godzilla
  • King Ghidorah
  • Mecha-Ghidorah

Godzilla VS Mothra (1992)

Also known as "Godzilla and Mothra: Battle for Earth" in the United States, Godzilla VS Mothra was the second successful Godzilla film of the 1990s.  Without taking inflation into account, this is the highest grossing Godzilla movie ever.  Tons of environmental messages in this film, but isn't that kind of what Godzilla is all about?  The disc features English and Japanese audio tracks and subtitles.

Special features:
  • Original Trailers
Featured monsters:
  • Godzilla
  • Mothra
  • Battra
