A must for any Godzilla collector

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

This review is in reference to the April 2007 Toho Master Collection Special Edition dvd released by Classic Media:

The simple fact this has both the original Japanese and US release versions in a single box extremely wonderful. The picture on both is nice and clear, as is the audio. Speaking of audio, this does come with the classic US dub. Also comes with some bonus features, though at least I have never been one for audio commentary tracks and biography pieces but their inclusion is nice.

The box itself is a mix of stiff cardboard and plastic that folds closed as opposed to a traditional box, a feature it shares with releases from this Toho Master collection. My own biggest issue with this purchase was the fact that the barcode stickers were attached to the box itself. I spent a few hours cleaning off the sticker residue with rubbing alcohol and q-tips before the box was finally rid of it all. While bothersome I feel this is a must buy for any Godzilla fan or collector.

The greatest of all Godzilla sequels

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2004

Verified Purchase

1964's "Godzilla vs. Mothra," (originally released in the U.S. as "Godzilla vs. The Thing" as a publicity gimmick to hide the identity of Godzilla's adversary) is the best of the many sequels to the original "Godzilla." The film series reached a level of wonderful pop-culture entertainment here: imaginative effects, gripping and simple story-line, and fantastic monster mashing. It's actually a smart, well-put together movie, something that people who look down on Japanese monster movies as silly and stupid would never expect. And it is LOADS of fun.
This film followed up quickly on the massive success of "King Kong vs. Godzilla." The studio, Toho, wanted Godzilla to go up against another `name' monster, and selected one of their own: the gigantic moth/caterpillar Mothra, who had starred the hit 1961 film "Mothra." The story has Godzilla returning to wreck havoc on Japan (this is the last time for many years that Godzilla would be the unquestioned `bad guy'), defying the military's numerous ingenious -- but ineffective -- attempts to stop him. The one hope for humanity lies in recruiting Mothra to take on the big lizard. But the people of Infant Island where Mothra lives are reluctant to help because two unscrupulous businessmen have captured Morthra's lost egg and turned it into a sideshow attraction. When they refuse to surrender the egg, it begins to look like Godzilla will get to have his way with Japan unopposed...
The film is absolutely loaded with stunning effects and action sequences. Godzilla's initial rampage in Nagoya is a knock-out, with the Big-G smashing a radio tower and Nagoya castle to the ground (Haruo Nakajima, the actor inside the suit, does a wonderful performance in this scene). The Godzilla suit used in this movie, known as the "Mosu-Goji" to fans, is beautiful: sleek, evil, and extremely personable. The two confrontations between Godzilla and Mothra, the first time in moth form, the second time in caterpillar form, are the best monster fights in all of the G-movies. Effects wizard Eiji Tsubaraya finds creative ways to have the monsters tackle each other, and the music from Akira Ifukube just keeps building and building. The finale is as exciting as anything you'll see in a big effects film from any country.
The human scenes are very effective as well, with good performances all around from actors like Kenji Sahara and Akira Takarada, regulars in monster movies. Director Ishiro Honda provides his customary humanitarian touch to the story, and he takes it with an appropriate level of seriousness. No doubt about it, Honda was a great director, and in his hands, giant monster movies could seem like more than just light entertainment.
The version on this disc is the dubbed American version. The Japanese language version with subtitles is superior -- a five-star rating easily -- but has never been available on a home video format (someone should really do something about this!). However, this is probably the best dubbed version ever of a Godzilla film. The voice acting is quite good, and almost nothing has been changed or edited from the original. Actually, a scene has been added, involving a U.S. military ploy to attack Godzilla with newly developed missiles. (Guess how effective that is.) The only real trouble with the dubbing is that the characters sometimes refer to Mothra as "the Thing" and other times by its real name, which is pretty strange sounding.
The disc has nothing in the way of real extras. Also, the advertised 5.1 stereo is a cheat: the producers of the disc added a few extra sound effects here and there for the back speakers -- such as when Godzilla is being electrified or when tanks are firing -- that sound tinny, awful, and unconnected to the actual film. Stick with the original mono option.
Even dubbed, "Godzilla vs. Mothra" is a four-star film and a must for anyone who loves giant monsters or just wants to have a good time on a Saturday night with friends. ROAR ON GODZILLA!

Mothra times three

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

As far as the classic era "kaiju" (strange creature) films from Toho Studios go, this is one of the better films. It is both a sequel to "Mothra" and the fourth "Godzilla" sequel to "Gojira." The film stars Akira Takarada, Yuriko Hoshi, Hiroshi Koizumi, Kenji Sahara, and Emi and Yumi Itō (The Peanuts), with Haruo Nakajima as Godzilla. In the film, Godzilla returns after being beaten by King Kong and is on a rampage through Tokyo. In desperation, the citizens of Japan as plead with Mothra's twin fairies, known as the Shobijin (played by the twin sisters, Emi and Yumi Itō) to call for the aging Mothra to help stop Godzilla. This was intended to be a family-friendly film, hence the presence of "The Peanuts," a popular singing duo with Japanese families. This was the second of three "kaiju" movies for the sisters. The monster vs. monsters action is good. This would be the final film in the franchise's Shōwa period to depict Godzilla as a villain.

Iconic confrontation between Godzilla Mothra and the two larva

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

1964’s Godzilla vs Mothra was the big guy’s fourth movie. This was when he was still a bad guy and a threat to Japan. Mothra would go on to have its own movie and be in several more Godzilla films. The film has some iconic scenes. That includes the giant Mothra egg, the birth of the two larva Morthra, and the twins that can communicate with the insect via song. It also deals with human avarice as a businessman tries to exploit the discovery of the Mothra egg for his own gain. The nuclear issues was there as well as Mothra was the result of atomic tests which was how Godzilla was created. The real draw however is seeing Godzilla smash tons of minatures. Unfortunately the fight with Mothra is up and down. The sequences where they used a giant Mothra model and the babies are good but then they used some miniatures for a few shots that didn’t go over as well. Still this is one of the better releases in the franchise’s history.

Godzilla gets his butt kicked by 2 giant caterpillars

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

For some strange reason, this movie is considered one of the best in the Godzilla series, and even though it is free of all the silliness to come in the later entries, its far from the best. The main problem is that it features quite possibly the lamest opponent for Godzilla in the entire series, Mothra is quite simply, a giant moth, whose powers seem to consist of the ability to flap her wings fast enough to create hurricane force winds, and also the ability to generate a yellow mist which is poisonous.

Even though Mothra seems to get the best of Godzilla at first, she is really just keeping him off balance so he can't strike back, and when he finally manages to do just that, 1 blast of atomic breath is all it takes to end the fight, talk about anti climatic. When Mothras egg finally hatches, 2 giant caterpillars emerge, and proceed to follow Godzilla to a nearby island to continue the fight, although fight hardly describes it. Even though they can't move very fast, they still manage to outmanoeuvre him and cover him in silk webbing which causes him to stumble around until he falls into the ocean. If this ever gets back to Monster Island, the other monsters will never let Godzilla hear the end of it.

So as I said at the beginning of my review, its a serious entry in the series for once, with Godzilla playing the bad guy, but the monster action is nothing special since its over just as its getting started

One of the best!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

This movie is often considered one of the best of the entire godzilla series. In this film, the monster mothra has laid an egg, which gets washed away in a storm, where buisnessmen attempt to make money from it, against the wishes of thers, including mothra's twin fairy gards. Eventually, godzilla emerges and starts rampaging. Mothra is called on but is killed, leading to her egg hatching and... well, I won't tell you how it ends, you'll have to see it yourself.

This beautiful DVD set comes in a glossy silver case and includes the U.S and Japanese film releases, as well as commercials, posters and a documentary on oner of the main people to bring godzilla to life.

Well worth buying at this cheap a price, a great fight between two toho giants well worth owning if your a fan or not.

Bizarre, not bad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

I had never seen one of the old Godzilla films and wanted to end this ignorance, preferably on the cheap. I believe this movie is regarded as one of the better ones and its certainly quite fun, and very weird, but it's no substitute for the first film with its serious message.
