I picked up a copy of Ken Films "Ghidrah Battles" (cat #263) and Ghidrah's not in the film!?

Godzilla battles Rodan and Mothra (in larva stage) shows up at the end- but no Ghidrah!! What gives?

Chad,

I know exactly how you feel, except I went through that at age 12!
Ken released two Ghidrah digests. As you just found out, Ghidrah Battles (the film actually has the title "Battle of the Monsters") concerns itself with the clash between Godzilla & Rodan, with Mothra appearing towards the end. The other digest, Ghidrah, includes the meteor shower, Ghidrah's appearance, city destruction and much of the climactic battle.
Both releases are fairly well edited and have the bonus of being in scope.

Ah, the thrill of the hunt... [Big Grin]
