is it possible that there's a colorized version of Godzilla (1954)?

Thirty seconds on Google revealed that yes, there is a colorized version called 'Cozzilla', and it looks absolutely horrible.

I hope not, it would ruin the whole feel of the movie.

@GODZILLA7007 well i myself, would prefer it to stay in B&W

Yep, there is.  in the 1960's (I believe), an Italian dude named Luigi Cozzi imported the film to Itally and gave it a "King of the Monsters" style edit, but colorized the footage, removed much of the human drama, and replaced it with war stock footage to pad out the runtime.  This rare version has been nicknamed "Cozzilla", and, or so I have heard, it is hideous.  I don;t remember where I read all of this, but it was years ago and I remember being very shocked!

No I mean it should be in black and white. Not talking about the other guys response. Lol I really don't want to see a colorized version.

And if anyone wants to see Godzilla 1954 and it is the original B & W version. It's on Amazon Prime that's if you have Amazon Prime, I'm just saying if anyone was curious.

sorry posted same comment 2-3X

Saying Cozzilla was "colorized" is being very generous. More like it was tinted certain colors in specific scenes. Nothing like the King Kong colorization years back.

Agree with the masses though. I never want to see a colorized Godzilla '54.

There is an Ai colorized version of the original 1954 by Kodd1980 on the internet archive. The American cut would make a fit for colorization personally. If anyone has a Godzilla King Of The Monsters '56 colorized version please drop a link. 

whether its in color or Black & White, its the same movie how would it be ruined? I bet older color movies are now ruined by their HD remaster editions huh?

Xenotaris

theyre talking about the italian version of Gojira.

Its not good. 

Yes I know but I also think they don't want an new color version that is better than Cozzilla

Yeah, Cozzilla looks like a rainbow barfed on it.

Also, here's some links to a fan made colorized version of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (1956).

(Note: Not The Full Movie)

They also made colorized versions of Godzilla: Raids Again, Varan the Unbelievable, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, and Gamera.

(Again, only clips, not the full movies)

oh cool

Xenotaris,
Some older movies are arguably ruined by complete HD remasters, since it reveals more than the filmmakers intended to be seen for the time.

In the case of Godzilla '54, however, it's a film that was shot and lit with black and white film stock in mind. You can't light a black & white film the same way as a color film. Much of the movie's shots are composed with that kind of mindset.

Colorizing it is like dubbing: Whereas English audio-dubs take away from the original performance of actors, a colorization takes away from the original work of directors of photography. I for one have no interest in altering that.

The original movie is a beautifully shot film Masao Tamai who also worked closely with the prolific director Mikio Naruse. And Sadamasa Airikawa's effects photography blended so beautifully with his work and gave Tsuburaya's effects an almost documentary look. B&W can be gorgeous, as the '54 film is, and colorizing would destroy that visual artistry.

Well duh, there was no color films prior to the 60s... well maybe Wizard of Oz but that was the exception. I bet if the 1950's could, they probably would have used color instead of black and white. Also I don't see the big gripe, oh it will ruin the film because we put it color, sounds like artist elitism too me. 

Xenotaris,
"Well duh, there was no color films prior to the 60s..."

This is categorically and incredibly false. Color film stock has existed since 1935. So yes, The Wizard of Oz is an exception amongst hundreds and hundreds of other films made between 1935-1960. During this time, many film studios still chose to use black and white film stock. Black & white films have also been used in modern times such as Schindler's List, The Artist, Sin City, Good Night and Good Luck and Christopher Nolan will be making next year's Oppenheimer in black & white. So it's equally an artistic decision.

Knowing that color stock existed in the 1950s, cinematographers had to light Godzilla '54 as a black and white film, not a color film, understanding that the process would look better with that in mind.

You may not like artists, but like it or not, the men and women involved in all these movies you watch consider themselves artists for the craft they entered. Therefore you don't care for anyone who made the Godzilla movies, Alien films and Jurassic Park franchise.

Hey when did I say I disliked artists? I am an armature writer so i would have to dislike myself?
