When I was young, the Shogun Warriors Rodan was my favorite toy. I made my parents rent Rodan from the video store countless times. Not that I am a seasoned kaiju fan, I was very pleased to watch the original uncut Rodan with subtitles. I still love this movie, but I recently found that the "set off the dynamite" scenes are extremely long. I kept thinking I should be checking my watch; explosion after explosion after explosion -cut to some military guys- more explosions after explosions after etc. So I think that the American verson might have some of that stuff edited out, but I got rid of my dubbed version - so I can't check that.
Nice side note: A dollar theater here in Prtland played Rodan back in '97 and I took my wife to see it before we were married. Not only did she love it, but she almost cried at the end...she rocks.
