Godzilla King of the Monsters - New release

[Burton Sundquist]

Lee, great review and screenshots! What a sharp looking print. Is this a colour polyester film stock printed in B&W or a true B&W stock?
in other words, is it acetate?

[Lee Mannering]

Hey Dave. You didn't tell me I could expect trouble from Godzilla. He's only gone and pinched Raptors Hippodrome cinema tickets!




Had the first film collector visitor since lock up for a show and the first words watching this new film was 'That's a really good print'

600ft B&W Sound available from our very own Monster Man Dave Baker.

Godzilla King of the monsters was a 1956 film featuring a 400ft monster intent on destruction, although you grow to love it in a way.

The film is today respected featuring a man in a monster suit who was starved of oxygen and nearly drowned in the making of this loved movie. The nearest I got to having anything on film of Godzilla was a neat 50ft reel from you youth oft projected on the old Kodak projector.

Amazing then today to have a well edited condesation of the 105 minute ish feature on Super 8 running just a fraction under 30 minutes and they have done a great job with it make no mistake.

This is another beautifully detailed film print in black and white with barely a mark on the original 50s master used. The clarity on screen is quite breathtaking with some gorgeous detail and shadow detail as well.

The sound is mono as originally in English but if you have a stereo projector you have Godzilla in stereo at the very end which is a very nice touch also making my wife jump.
Magnetic striping is carried out in Italy and to a high standard. I cleaned/Flim Guarded the film before projection with zero oxid showing on the white cloth. A very good sign.

If you are buying the.many new releases this year put this on your lists for the monster pile.

Picture quality. Astound 10/10
Sound 9 Good for 1956 and love the Stereo ending.

Well done Dave Baker 'The REEL MONSTER MAN'
Fantastic job!


Godzilla and Raptor settle down to watch the film.
