Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster



FINALLY AVAILABLE: GODZILLA EPISODE 5
This is the fifth Godzilla film and its one of the best. Its really a follow up to MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA. This is the first release, in the US, of the unedited Japanese version. For competists, the strangely reedited US version has also been included. Both versions are entertaining.
This is the first time team up of Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra against the alien dragon King Ghidorah (aka Ghidrah). Along for the ride are the twin faeries from
Mothra's island who, telepathically orchestrate the colaboration. There is also a amnesiac Himalayan princess who is also a cross dressing Martian prophetess; three Blues Brothers look-alike assasins who are out to
finish her off and a tough police detective who wants to save her and his sister who wants to restore her memory. Basically, it tries to play like a Hitchcock thriller or an early Bond film. In the end the espianage plot
and the monster plot come together. This is the first time that Godzilla swithches from menace to...

Once Burned
Hopefully this wiil teach me to read the reviews for every purchase before another "gem" like this waste of money slips through. I too am amazed Amazon is still selling this shoddy unwatchable copy.

HORRIBLE quality DVD, avoid at all costs.
The DVD is terrible. First, though the cover promises a widescreen transfer, the DVD is horribly cropped, so 50% of the scope image is missing.

If that weren't bad enough, the picture quality is very, very poor and during motion scenes (most of the film) the picture blurs!

The old Goodtimes LP speed VHS tape from the 80s looks better than this.

Avoid at all costs!
