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.

Viewing Notes
Rewatching the New World edit with Raymond Burr. Keep hoping I’ll like this movie more on every viewing (of both versions). Funny that I watched this last year around the same time for the same reasons. I do like this version way more than the Japanese version. It’s tighter and just cooks compared to the plodding of other film.
