The Multifarious Monster of Monster’s, The King of Kaiju, the Atomic Admonitory: GODZILLER! PLEASE! NO MORE!!! Worked well financially the first time I suppose so fuck it why not see if lighting can strike the same spot twice. No, no it can’t. Since the original ‘84 film was a direct sequel to the ‘54 film, the land of liberty thought a simple redubbing wouldn’t do and and instead went ahead and decided to create a direct sequel to the ‘56 red, white ‘n blue re-cut of the og Goji; adding ‘n taking away scenes and even completely recontextualizing key aspects of the film inorder to give us a double extra dosage of the oh so glorious red, white and brand…

technically a direct sequel to the original but basically a respectful reboot. and given what was available (though pricey) as far as FX technology in the mid-80s, it’s nice that this stayed cheap and aesthetically faithful. while it doesn’t have the ’54 version’s urgent fear, aside from a few flourishes (particularly the Super X, a high-tech anti-Godzilla aircraft) the tone here is fairly dry, so after 15 variously absurd previous entries you might trick yourself into thinking it’s kind of humorless. but it does a decent job with the anxiety of a country feeling close once again to a conflict between superpowers, only this time having first hand experience with the likely result. on the other hand there’s a downright agonizing 10-minute stretch featuring the Japanese Prime Minister trying to convince the Americans and the Soviets to not use nukes on Godzilla. [103-minute Japanese cut]

Nature has a way sometimes of reminding man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring’s of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of man are often dwarfed by their dangerous consequences. For now, Godzilla, that strangely innocent and tragic monster, has gone to earth. Whether he returns or not, or is never again seen by human eyes, the things he has taught us… remain… Godzilla 1985 is the Americanized version of the 1984 film The Return of Godzilla. While a lot of the American additions are awful, I do think the quote which I…

KAIJULY: GOJI RAAWRS! With the original having its own American sequel, it shouldn’t be surprising they did the same to Return with Burr returning and having extra footage and retooling of the original Japanese film. What we got was a bit of the same, but nowhere near as effective. As I said in the original, one of the things I liked was how the danger of Godzilla was not only limited to Japan, as this time Goji stood as an allegory to the then-current Cold War, in which it wasn’t just a Japan matter but the world at large was involved. So having the American view in the matter could have worked and made sense. Sadly what we got here…

Another enraging American re-edit of a Japanese Godzilla film. This brings back Raymond Burr from the American re-edit of the first. He, thankfully, does not just talk all over the film but he does stand around in rooms and act superior, when he’s a cinematic criminal that helped to ruin the original Godzilla movie. This re-edit is worse than the film it is ostensibly a sequel to purely because it is a worse version of an already bad film. We have scenes left over from the Japanese version, which I didn’t like there and do not like here. Though some are dubbed in a way to completely change them, which feels uncomfortable. In addition to this, we also have a…

“Godzilla is more like a living nuclear weapon, destined to walk the earth forever, indestructible… a victim of the modern nuclear age.” The king of the monsters is back… in the year 1985 busting in to show Tokyo what’s what! After his long hibernation at the end of the Showa era films with 1975’s Terror of Mecagdozilla, Toho shelved the big guy for a bit. With this one they brought the big guy back as a harbinger of the 80s Cold War nuclear age, with the original Japanese version titled The Return of Godzilla. This version… is a little different though (lmao). It’s the 1985 version released in America which essentially acts as a sequel to the original 1954 American…

A Walk Amongst Monsters #83 “Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is.” Dark and full of warnings about the folly of man and nuclear warfare, this might be the bleakest Godzilla movie since the original. When an abandoned ship with all but one of its crew violently slaughtered is found drifting as sea, the army discovers Godzilla has reappeared after vanishing thirty years ago. Now the Japanese government, the Soviets, and the Americans must prepare for Godzilla’s destructive return. After Terror of Mechagodzilla bombed miserably at the box office, Godzilla took a bit of a vacation until Toho decided to reinvigorate the series by going back to the darker aspects of Godzilla’s creation.…

I’ve been too hard on this film in the past. Watching it again on 35mm at the Mahoning Drive-In, I could take in the genuinely astounding effects work on display and the heroic attempt at returning the Big-G to his disaster movie roots – without ever losing his personality. Godzilla would get smaller eyes (eventually going full cat) as the Hensei films progressed, but here he’s got the big old ping pong browns that he sported in his more money-starved entries, and I love it so much. There’s no attempt to hide the fact that the big guy is rubbery as hell, but it’s filmed from some breathtaking angles, and the miniature buildings have never looked better. I’m usually an…

Love this movie. Love the booming musical score and the nocturnal atmosphere and the mechanical Godzilla face and the detailed model cityscape that looks like the idea of a cityscape. I would much rather watch Gojira (1954) than Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956), but if I’m being completely honest, I love New World Pictures’ bastardized American re-edit of The Return of Godzilla (1984) more than the original. Love the tacky American scenes of Raymond Burr scowling at the Pentagon and doing nothing useful, and LOVE the big speech he gives at the end about how history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men. Watched on 35mm at the Mahoning Drive-In, an experience I will cherish.

It should tell you everything you need to know about me that this American bastardization’s completely unnecessary decision to bring back the character of Steve Martin, the American newspaper reporter from the American bastardization of the ORIGINAL Godzilla, moves me deeply. “Nature has a way, sometimes, of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up the terrible offsprings of our pride and carelessness… to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of…

Marca un regreso más serio para Godzilla. Tiene un tono más oscuro y deja de lado parte del humor de entregas anteriores.

the moment to point at the screen and say “that’s godzilla 1985” is when godzilla is first onscreen

First film in the Heisei era and is a decent reintroduction to Godzilla. Has some interesting Cold War plot points at first but it kinda bogs the overall plot down later in the film. Cool Godzilla design with really cool animatronic work on some close ups of his face when he roars.

Fun to see Burr reprising the role but ultimately just the good parts of the Japanese cut with some less interesting scenes added.

Watched this on VHS while on a holiday in the United States. Truest way to experience this movie, I suppose. I’ve never gotten around to this American cut of The Return of Godzilla before, so it’s been a really nice breath of fresh air getting to experience a new version of the film. Trims out about 30 minutes of the original film and I’d be hard pressed to tell you more than a couple small moments of what has been…

the most fun part was waiting for the next dr pepper to pop up i understand why someone would find this entertaining or nostalgic, but at the end of the day it’s just a worse version of the original

Kaiju Mega-Marathon II #14.5 (#47.5) (This is an addendum of sorts to my Return of Godzilla review, consult as needed) The American localization of Return of Godzilla turns what’s already a pretty mediocre film into complete dogshit by completely undermining the political themes of the original, which were really the only interesting things about it. Where the Japanese version casts the US and USSR as equally proud and equally belligerent, the American version unsurprisingly recasts the Soviets as the unambiguous…

Here’s the problem, this film fixed the extremely slow pacing of the 1984 version of the film. HOWEVER the edits and scenes added by the Americans are egregious. The film is fun but it is nearly impossible to overlook how this film is genuinely US propaganda as the Russians try to nuke Japan, and Japan is like a damsel in distress waiting for the US to save them.

Guau, ver esto en el cine en el 85 debió haber sido muy impresionante! La verdad es que, en retrospectiva, claro, la película es bastante linear, directa, y sencilla – sin embargo, creo que construyó muy bien su historia, sin mencionar que el uso de efectos prácticos es ufff, sublime. Como otras películas de Godzilla, peca de no centrarse tanto en Godzilla, sino en otra historia; lo bueno es que más allá de las armas nucleares, esta no se desvía…

I welcome this new era of Godzilla movies, but there are a handful of things I’m just not a fan of here. – I know this is immature, but I hate the English dubs. It’s so off putting most of the time, especially how they do female voices – they gave godzilla the thick thighs pussy salad, bro can barely walk – his face is so static in this one, compared to previous films where his eyes would move a…

I LOVE YOU GODZILLA. Even when you’ve indiscriminately killed a bunch of people. He’s a force of nature in this, but also a bumbling idiot. The version I watched was an English dub. Pretty funny at times, but for some reason they gave some characters a British accent. Why imply that they’re a different nationality even tho they’re all from Japan. They have one of the characters a British accent, even though his sister doesn’t? Loved the effects, and I…

(Red Menace Reconstruction v.1.4) One of the more cinematic Godzilla movies. Some really good model work, some not so. Tension is built well. Fantastic score. Decent suit. We are really just laying down all the symbolism straight up from the start. Godzilla is like a nuclear weapon, victim of the modern world, a warning to every one of us. Yes. I see they think I’m intelligent. If you’re going to watch a guy in a rubber suit destroy a miniature…

Already not the biggest Return of Godzilla fan, but when you change it to antagonize the Soviets (kinda defeating the purpose of the movie) and somehow make Steve even more useless than he was in KOTM, you’ve just got nothing. Plus the dub’s not very good, which KOTM didn’t have to worry about as much because only like half the dialogue was dubbed, there was still real Japanese in it, which I thought was cool. An interesting little curiosity in the history of legacy sequels, but not worth much unless you’re a Raymond Burr conpletionist.

An absolutely inferior re-edit when stacked against the original, but the added Dr. Pepper placements are Cerveza Cristal level funny.

A solid return to form of horror after the Showa era as much as I love it, it’s nice to see Godzilla scary again

I don’t hate this or anything, I think some of the changes made to the story are kind of interesting. I like the implication that this is the same Godzilla from 1956 and I actually kinda like Raymond Burr this time for how little he’s in this. He has his own role rather than trying to replace one of the main characters like in the 1956 movie which I appreciate even if it is still kinda shoehorned in. I could…

A Reboot in the franchise to bring upon the Heisei era. This time a darker more intense Godzilla. More emotional impact and a direct sequel tp the 1954 movie. Bringing Godzilla back honestly was a bold choice for the 80s. As he was brought back and seen as a destructive force and not an anti hero

movie honestly felt dragged out but it was such a classic film and i wish i watched it earlier.

The “good bad movie” is by now an accepted item of cultural history, and we are all familiar with the theory that a movie can be so bad that it’s good. Just consider “Infra-Man.” To really qualify as a GBM, however, a movie must think that it is good; part of the fun is watching it struggle to be other than it is. The fatal flaw in “Godzilla 1985” is that it is a bad movie with aspirations of being…

- Originally released in Japan as "The Return of Godzilla" in 1984, this is the heavily re-edited, re-titled "Godzilla 1985". Adding in new footage of Raymond Burr, this 16th Godzilla film ignores all previous sequels and serves as a direct follow-up to the 1956 "Godzilla King of the Monsters", which also featured scenes with Burr edited into 1954's "Godzilla". This film restores the darker tone of the original, as we witness the nuclear destruction of giant lizard terrorizing Japan.
