Speaking of that new vsM92 print Netflix several years ago had it streaming and in HD and it looked great a lot better than Toho's HD master, the only bad thing about the netflix thing was it was only 720p and not 1080p.

I'd love to see Sony do to the Heisei films what they did with the Showa stuff and in HD.

There are a few dubbed versions I watch. Mothra vs. Godzilla still has a pretty good dub, despite the fact I generally opt to watch it in Japanese. And most of the time I watch Monster Zero in english for Nick Adams' performance and lines. I enjoyed him so much in that. Other than that I typically can't stomach sitting through anything dubbed myself... Funny, Cody mentions Gigantis. The only time I've ever seen that movie is when I was listening to the audio commentary on the recent Classic Media disc.

I find the Japanese cut of GRA much more boring in fact I fell asleep watching it for the first time.

and probably because there would have been some hesitation about showing Japanese audiences a scene in which American military forces fire missiles at Japanese territory.

Well, my bootleg from 1996 resembles the Tristar master a hell of a lot more than whatever that..thing that Toho whipped up is, so there's that.

The TOKYO S.O.S change is unfortunate, but we're talking, what, a couple of shots? The rest of Toho's transfer (specifically talking about the DVD) still looks like ass in comparison to Sony's. It's got that same soft and drab look that most of their transfers have.

I'm pretty easy on the dubbed Showa Toho movies. I'll often put the dubbed versions on as background noise. Anything from Biollante onward? No thank you. It's Japanese or nothing.[/quote]

Well the 90s films had really attrocious dubs. G2k despite its camp had some effort put into the voice acting so it didn't just sound dry or inhuman. It was the GvM92 uk dub that drove me as an 8 year old who had seen every goji film to that point dubbed, to subtitled versions. Granted GvMG 93 was still awaiting a dub so I didn't have much option but when I saw Tristar reuse the British prints, make their own wretched dubs and even take the highlight of Gvdestroyah in the credits sequence out by just ending the film I had no regrets in my decision. Though I still own the dub prints since I'm not fully fluent so its easier to multitask to a dub and my gf who isn't really into kaiju refuses to watch a sub because its tedious. But it's not just nostalgia since I saw DAM's AIP print after becoming a subtitle guy and loved it, similarly I saw SOG's International dub on sony's DVD and hated it ( though I still love the US dub of that I grew up with despite it cutting the opening scene of goji https://www.google.com/search?client=sa ...
