Being a fan of Japanese monster movies,does anyone know(besides the Ken Films output)what Godzilla films have been released in Super-8 or Standard 8mm? I seemed to recall that there was a trailer for the original Godzilla film released some years ago.
Any and all information would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Douglas, if you are OK with German release, there are so many Godzilla ( and other Japanese monster & science fiction movies) released by Marketing Films and UFA.

Regarding Godzilla, try searching using that word in this forum as it has been discusssed in various threads.

Cheers

Hey Douglas-

Yeah, me also... I think I have every Kaiju film Ken Films put out. I recently scored a great print of DAM Sound/Color.

Other than the German prints,the only other I've stumbled upon was from Film Office. It was an old 8mm entitle something like: Godzilla, Monster From The Pacific. It was an old French 50 footer. After your post, I'm now wondering if it was just a trailer.

I know the original "Godzilla, King Of The Monsters" was available in S8S from Red Fox some years ago for only a very brief time. I do see prints up for sale on Ebay from time to time, but they usually go for a pretty hefty price by the time the auction ends (several hundreds of dollars). I know it's the american dubbed cut with the Raymond Burr inserts and contained the american title.
