"Ghidrah, The Three-Headed Monster" holds a special place in my heart. In the 1970s, it was the first 8mm film, my folks bought for me at K-Mart (after a lot of whining on my part!). It was the first Godzilla VHS (from Video Treasures) that I bought in the late 1980s. The movie worked beautifully, and not only because of the monsters, but also the very likable performance by Mr. Natsuki as Shindo, along of course, with Hiroshi Koizumi, Yuriko Hoshi and the Ito sisters. Since Legendary's "Godzilla 2", is more or less a remake of GTTHM, I was hoping that they would have brought along Yosuke Natsuki in a cameo, but alas that never came to fruition.
Hopefully, we will get a nice blu-ray of "Ghidrah" from Criterion when they decide to release these titles in that format.
