If, and that's a mighty big "if", Criterion goes in for more Godzilla movies, keeping the list very short besides Mothra vs Godzilla I'd like to see King Kong vs Godzilla and Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla.
A Criterion release of KKvG might be the only way we'll ever see Toho's restoration of their original cut outside of Japan. I'm not sure what Universal might have in their archive storage, if anything exists I'd like to think Criterion could uncover extant elements to use for a restoration of Universal's cut and even improve on Toho's restoration of the original cut.
Looks like I really need to jump in and snag a copy of Classic Media's Godzilla Collection. I waited on the initial nice boxed release and missed out on it, and I've hoped over the last few years that CM would roll out blu-ray releases of the movies. Perhaps with the DVD collection apparently going OOP Classic Media is finally going to release the movies on blu-ray, especially when Warner Brothers has a full slate of movies in their Godzilla universe and now Toho appearing to have multiple movies lined up too.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
