Just found a few more great Super 8 Godzilla flicks!

Two different King Kong VS. Godzilla digests! Both 400footers Color/Sound! One is IFA (German) and the other is a Dutch release in English! YAY! [Big Grin]

Also found a NEW unopened 400 ft Color/Sound Godzilla VS. Megalon! I'll be keepin' that one!

In the next month I'll be listing another 2x400 B/W Sound Godzilla VS. Mecha Godzilla & possibly the German KK VS. G.

Now I'm off to sell my mini van to pay for all of these. [Wink]

Tim, the German UFA Kong vs Big G is available as a 3x400ft digest.

I've got a Dutch (with English sound) 3 x 400' of 'King Kong Vs Godzilla' Quality isn't great but it's watchable. I used to have the 400' which I think may have different content to the 3 x 400'. Is 'Godzilla Vs. Megalon' a German release?

Jean- I've seen the 3X400 German Digest. I found a 1X400 IFA German Digest)and the 1 X 400 Dutch Digest.

Yes Adrian, G VS. M is a German release!

So much fun finding these! [Wink]

Hey Timothy , Do they have a digest anywhere of the original black and white 1954 GODZILLA King of the Monsters ?

Laksmi,

The only digest I've seen of the original Godzilla (actually the 1956 Raymond Burr version) is a silent 600' standard 8mm cutdown from the French company Film Office. It is an excellent edit job with French subtitles. I'll post a review shortly.

Sweet Doug!

Is that (GKOTM) the 8mm print from the ebay auction last month?

I know you probably don't want to reveal your source, but I'll ask anyway. Where the heck are you finding these things?
I was lucky enough to get a few like the KKvsG 3 x 400 from Hans Van der Sloot here on the forum, but I'm really curious about these other finds.
G vs MechaG would be fun to own.
