Media Blasters Finally, and Officially, Announces Godzilla Acquisitions - Page 5

MisterTwister · 08-10-2012, 04:41 AM

I have my doubts Media Blaster will ever release the SPECIAL EDITION version of it. It's too bad since I really wanted to listen to that commentary track. Oh well.

I haven't seen Megalon in quite a few years. I love it, though. Screw the haters I think it's good ol' fashioned goofy fun!

Looks like GODZILLA VS. MEGALON is now in stock at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ag=cinema09-20

I have a feeling I'm going to buy this while waiting for the blu, just in case...

This is one of the only Godzilla titles I don't currently have on DVD but I'm still going to wait for the blu. I saw this film in the theater when I lived in Minnesota and then again when I moved to California. It played on a double bill with Giant Spider Invasion.

It is VERY tempting to buy this DVD, but I'm going to take my chances on waiting for a blu-ray. I've waited this long, another few months or whatever won't kill me.

I caved - I've been waiting for this release forever it seem. I hoping it's remastered like the others and not a full screen, cropped mess.

$11 is not a bad deal considering it's the worse Godzilla movie ever.

rxfiend · 08-19-2012, 09:39 AM

Worst ever? I think that award goes to Godzilla's Revenge!

Yeah that one sucks but this movie sucked more.

MisterTwister · 08-19-2012, 07:53 PM

Godzilla's Revenge is far worse than Megalon.

X-human · 08-20-2012, 04:04 AM

Yes, Godzilla's Revenge is certainly the worst. Even worse than Son of Godzilla.

However Megalon did make for one of the best MST3k episodes ever.

Same here. A favorite of mine since I was a little boy. I was reading some of the reviews on Amazon and one of the reviewers states that this is an uncut widescreen disc.

rxfiend · 08-20-2012, 03:11 PM

I actually liked Son of Godzilla. The ending scene of G holding onto his pillsbury dough boy of a son is quite touching. LOL

Good to hear the Megalon disc is uncut! I'm glad the DVD at least got released.

X-human · 10-17-2012, 11:43 PM

Reportedly there are Megalon DVDs in the mix that contain all of the extras. The case and UPC are all the same and it's only when you take a look at the disc that you'll know.

I actually live near enough in Illinois to take that gamble of picking up a disc but I'm still going to have to wait for a Blu-ray. I've learned to never bet against Media Blaster, no matter how much of the odds are in your favor.

X-human · 10-23-2012, 06:01 AM

Official word is that the replication plant made a second printing of discs to sell and these were from the Special Edition masters: http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2...ix-up-mystery/

Semi-good news I suppose as that means they sold more than they were initially expecting.
