Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
Godzilla,
King of the Monsters! is a 1956" kaiju" film directed by Terry O. Morse and Ishirō Honda.
It is a heavily re-edited American adaptation, commonly referred to as an" Americanization", of the 1954 Japanese film" Godzilla".
The film was a Japanese- American co-production, with the original footage produced by Toho, and the new footage produced by Jewell Enterprises.
The film stars Raymond Burr, Frank Iwanaga, along with Akira Takarada, Momoko Kōchi, Akihiko Hirata, and Takashi Shimura, with Haruo Nakajima and Katsumi Tezuka as Godzilla.
In the film, an American reporter covers a giant reptilian monster's attack on Japan.
In 1955, Edmund Goldman acquired the 1954 film from Toho and enlisted the aide of Paul Schreibman, Harold Ross, Richard Kay, and Joseph E. Levine to produce a revised version for American audiences.
This version dubbed most of the Japanese dialogue into English, altered and removed key plot points and themes, and added new footage with Burr narrating most of the film and interacting with body- doubles and Japanese- American actors in an attempt to make it seem like Burr was part of the original Japanese production.
" Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" was theatrically released in the United States on April 27, 1956 and theatrically released in Japan on May 29, 1957, with the English dialogue subtitled in Japanese.
The film was responsible for introducing international audiences to the character Godzilla, as the 1954 Japanese version remained unavailable overseas until 2004.

Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is a 1985" kaiju" film directed by R. J. Kizer and Koji Hashimoto.
The film is a heavily re-edited American adaptation of the original Japanese film" The Return of Godzilla", which was produced and distributed by Toho Studios in 1984.
In addition to the film being re-cut, re-titled, and dubbed in English," Godzilla 1985" featured additional footage produced by New World Pictures, with Raymond Burr reprising his role as American journalist Steve Martin from the 1956 film" Godzilla, King of the Monsters!", which itself was a heavily re-edited American adaptation of the 1954 Japanese film" Godzilla".
Both the New World Pictures and Toho versions serve as direct sequels to the original 1954" Godzilla", with" Godzilla 1985" also serving as a sequel to" Godzilla, King of the Monsters!".
The same adaptation techniques used to produce" Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" were implemented with" Godzilla 1985", with the original Japanese footage being dubbed and edited together with the American footage.
The film retains the original musical score by Reijiro Koroku, while also integrating portions of the score for the 1985 Canadian film" Def- Con 4", composed by Christopher Young.
" Godzilla 1985" was met with mostly unfavorable reviews upon its release in the United States.
Like" Godzilla, King of the Monsters!", much of the nuclear and political overtones featured in the original Japanese film were removed from the American version.
" Godzilla 1985" was the last" Godzilla" film produced by Toho to be distributed theatrically in the United States until the release of" Godzilla 2000 Godzilla" was released in 1998, but that film is unrelated to this.)
