Don't buy this piece of garbage. Godzilla fans have been subjected to sub-par VHS and DVD releases for years, and this is just the latest in a long list. Purchase "Godzilla vs Hedorah" from Sony/Tristar for the best DVD release of this film. Languages are the original Japanese w/ subtitles and the Toho International English dub. To get the AIP English dub, which was the version released to American theaters years ago, find a copy of the Smog Monster/Megalon Double Feature cheapie DVD on eBay. It's full screen and vastly inferior to the 'Hedorah' DVD, but you get the original AIP dub.

This is a cheap bootleg. Do not even waste your time looking at anything beyond this review. Why is this even on Amazon?

I ordered Godzilla Vs. the Smog Monster. Received the order promptly, but was very upset when I played the DVD and discovered I had King Kong instead! The packaging was correct, as was the labeling on the DVD, but the actual flick was an extremely poor copy of King Kong. Don't waste your time with these folks.

They list this bootleg but don't list the legitimate Sony Tristar release of Godzilla Vs The Sea Monster. Who's getting paid off!

That's right. The picture quality on this DVD is pretty lousy, and Heaven only knows where Cheezy Flicks emerged from. The only studios with licenses to sell Godzilla DVD's in the United States are Columbia Tristar, Simitar, and Sony Music Video. Besides, this movie wasn't that great to begin with. If you're going to buy a bad movie then buy a legal copy of good quality.

This is a horrible repro made on someone's home pc.
The movie I got was in some widescreen format that was converted from full screen so all picture was stretched (sort of like the jacket on the dvd case)!
DONT BUY IT!!
P.S. I think that this cheezy flicks company has taken their company name a little too literally. Ten bucks is also a bit much for a movie that appears like it was reformatted by a person who had gone right outta their tree.

I want to thank the people at thebookgrove for taking my feelings into concern. The item I had ordered was not in as good of shape as they had thought it was and they decided to refund my money rather than keep it and send me the bad DVD. I truly appreciate that and I will definitely recommend them in the future.

What can I say...if you love Godzilla, and collect the movies you have to have this. My sons are such people, and this is one of the Christmas gifts for them. They'll love it!

I recommend this Godzilla DVD!!! Plus I got a second movie (double feature) as a bonus!!!
