Godzilla Vs the Thing (1964) [aka Mothra Vs Godzilla]
Want to see something different? The film that launched over 30 films... (I don't mean Gojira '54 or King Kong '33)
If you've seen a Godzilla film, or part of one, and didn't like it... I've seen some clumsy kiddie stuff that I wouldn't watch again as well. This isn't one of them.
The only stumbling in this film is the not so sure-footed Godzilla, which as you'll plainly see, it's in the script.
If you've never seen
Godzilla Vs the Thing, it would take a lot to explain, but that's not to say it's confusing, on the contrary, it's very coherent. I'll just say this is a very creative, superior film craft production in every category, and it has more art categories than most films.
There's basically two versions. If you've already seen one version recently, see the other version and tell us what you think.
Godzilla Versus the Thing (1964): (the version I'm suggesting) American AIP release, which includes scenes not in other. It's a very good English dub, done by very experienced dubbing professionals, who dubbed for Speed Racer, among many other Japanese films and TV programs.
Mothra Vs Godzilla (1964): Japanese release, a version you can view with English subtitles.
(If you have any problems seeing the film, you can PM for assistance.)
