That's right, they didn't stop making Gozilla films in the mid-'70s like you thought, but resurrected the rubberized reptile in the mid-'80s and have continued making crazy, clear-your-Saturday-afternoon-schedule offerings to this very day. And here in this double-feature disc are two of the craziest from the early '90s.

Godzilla vs. King Ghidora involves some western folks in a flying saucer from the future who come back to warn Japan of its imminent demise by Godzilla. But their real aim is to aid in that destruction, thus keeping Japan from becoming an economic powerhouse. Along the way, some cute little creatures they've brought with them are transformed into King Ghidora, the not-so-cute nemesis of Godzilla, and the two inevitably battle it out as unwitting champions of their times. The special effects are tops, the action is silly and pulpish, and the plot is lifted partially from Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1968). If you don't watch this film with a silly grin on your face, you just aren't a Godzilla fan.

Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth is a variation on one of the best of the old Godzilla films, Godzilla vs. The Thing (1964). When a meteorite hits the Earth, Godzilla is awakened, along with Mothra and his evil twin Battra, the Black Mothra! Mothra must save the Earth from these scourges, with the help of its minions, the Cosmos, those twin miniature girls who sing the eerily beautiful Mothra theme from the earlier film. And the special effects are even more impressive and hallucinatory than before, if that's possible.

The pleasure of seeing these rarities on DVD is only slightly hampered by their truncated aspect ratios; yes, Mothra's widescreen wings have been clipped down to paltry pan and scan, and thus denuded of its native Tohoscope. --Jim Gay

- One of the best
I was young when I first saw Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth, and to this day I still love it. This movie is basically a remake of the 1964 Godzilla vs Mothra, with a dramatically different plot. In this version, a divorced couple and a representitive from the sinister Marotomo company go to Infant Island to investigate a gigantic egg, which hatches into Mothra. In this film, you've got Mothra, who wants to save the earth and everyone in it. Then there's the new monster Battra, Mothra's evil twin, who wants to kill Mothra and rein destruction on the world. And then there's Godzilla who doesn't like anyone and is out to get both moths for no apparent reason. The result? Well, you'll have to watch to find out the details, but I will say that the sparks fly like their's no tomorrow.

The movie albiet is somewhat slow in the middle, and the effects are a bit cheesy, and some may think the ... Read More

- The Best Godzilla 90's Movie
I've never seen Godzilla vs. Mothra,so thats why i'm i'm buying this DVD.But I have seen Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is the very first film i've seen and its a pretty good movie.i haven't quite seen the whole thing,but i think the best part of the movie is when Mecha King Ghidorah appeared;and he lands in front of Godzilla and theres a lot of smoke in the background behind King Ghidorah which is a remarkable scene in the movie.I'm pretty sure people may think so to.

- 4 monsters for the price of 1
The movies are both a solid B but when you put them together on one DVD is a great buy. The scenes with the "android" guy are hilariously bad.
