Godzilla 1984 on DVD?(UPDATED)

THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS

MemberMothra LarvaeFebruary 22, 20142616 Views5 Replies

I have searched relentlessly across the internet for a copy of The Return of Godzilla. I can never find any official release other than VHS, and any DVD release I can find is either a bootleg or doesn't look like it's any good. I may just be skeptical, or not looking hard enough. What do you guys think?

 

UPDATE 2:

nevermind it got sold :/

You're welcome! :)

Trust me, this is the version you want.  I've had it for years and not only is it great looking and accurately subtitled, it includes a great documentary and a ton of trailers.  Until someone here in the US gets off their butt and produces an official DVD/Blu-ray, this is the definitive version.

I have also looked everywhere for that movie. It's the one Godzilla movie I haven't seen yet (not counting the upcoming Godzilla movie). It will eventually make it's way here. Hopefully.

What you're looking for doesn't exist. There is no official DVD/bluray of The Return of Godzilla/Godzilla 1985 outside of Japan.

Danzilla's link is still not an official release... Regardless, his link is probably the best alternative until there's an official release. If ever.

Godzilla 1984/1985 is in a legal rights blackhole. Even the most knowledgable people of the fandom either don't understand the details behind why it can't be released on DVD/bluray yet or they're not allowed to say.

Supposedly the rights issue will be settled with Toho soon, but how soon is the question. It could still be a few years away. There's no way of knowing. Even when the rights issues get settled with the movie, there's no guarantee it will be picked up by a distributor for a North American release. Your best bet at owning Godzilla 1984 right now is through some other means.

I go through bootlegs on a site that begins with sumo and ends with gorilla.com. Trust me even though they are bootlegs they are dvd quality and they allow the option of seeing the original japanese version which is conveniant for how badly dubbed some films are. I have a legit King Kong vs. Godzilla but may have to double dip for a bootleg because of how how much I hate how the US release got butchered.

As Gman said 84 is in a rights issue and CAN'T be released until it's sorted out. I wouldn't hold my breathe for the official release. I would rather put money directly into Toho's pocket but some times it can't be helped

Yea, this was the one Godzilla movie I needed to complete my collection until a couple months ago. I was searching for it for forever until I finally gave up and bought a bootleg. Now I own all 28 movies!
