## Description

In 1954, an enormous beast clawed its way out of the sea, destroying everything in its path—and changing movies forever. The arresting original Godzilla soon gave rise to an entire monster-movie genre (kaiju eiga), but the King of the Monsters continued to reign supreme: in fourteen fiercely entertaining sequels over the next two decades, Godzilla defended its throne against a host of other formidable creatures, transforming from a terrifying symbol of nuclear annihilation into a benevolent (if still belligerent) Earth protector. Collected here for the first time are all fifteen Godzilla films of Japan’s Showa era, in a landmark set showcasing the technical wizardry, fantastical storytelling, and indomitable international appeal that established the most iconic giant monster the cinema has ever seen.EIGHT-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION COLLECTOR’S SET FEATURESHigh-definition digital transfers of all fifteen Godzilla films made between 1954 and 1975, released together for the first time, with uncompressed monaural soundtracksHigh-definition digital transfers of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the 1956 U.S.-release version of Godzilla; and the 1962 Japanese-release version of King Kong vs. Godzilla, presented with its original 4.0 surround soundtrack.Audio commentaries from 2011 on Godzilla and Godzilla, King of the Monsters featuring film historian David KalatInternational English-language dub tracks for Invasion of Astro-Monster, Son of Godzilla, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla vs. Megalon, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, and Terror of MechagodzillaDirectors Guild of Japan interview with director Ishiro Honda, conducted by director Yoshimitsu Banno in 1990Featurette detailing Godzilla’s photographic effectsToho Unused Special Effects Complete Collection, a 1986 documentary featuring archival making-of footage; scenes deleted from films including Destroy All Monsters, King Kong vs. Godzilla, and Mothra vs. Godzilla; and interviews with Honda, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka, special-effects director Teruyoshi Nakano, and othersNew interview with filmmaker Alex Cox about his admiration for the Showa-era Godzilla filmsNew and archival interviews with cast and crew members, including actors Bin Furuya, Tsugutoshi Komada, Haruo Nakajima, and Akira Takarada; composer Akira Ifukube; and effects technicians Yoshio Irie and Eizo KaimaiInterview with critic Tadao Sato from 2011Illustrated audio essay from 2011 about the real-life tragedy that inspired GodzillaNew English subtitle translationsTrailersPLUS: A lavishly illustrated deluxe hardcover book featuring an essay by cinema historian Steve Ryfle, notes on the films by cinema historian Ed Godziszewski, and new illustrations by Arthur Adams, Sophie Campbell, Becky Cloonan, Jorge Coelho, Geof Darrow, Simon Gane, Robert Goodin, Benjamin Marra, Monarobot, Takashi Okazaki, Angela Rizza, Yuko Shimizu, Bill Sienkiewicz, Katsuya Terada, Ronald Wimberly, and Chris Wisnia

Review: Awesome Blu-ray Showa Era Collection! - This a great collection of the Showa Era Godzilla movies! It has good bonus features for Godzilla junkies to dive deeper into the franchise. All the movies have the original subbed and dubbed versions. So both fans of the original Japanese cuts. And the translated dubbed versions get what they want. The movies have good quality production value for a Blu-ray transfer. Along with even having the original version of King Kong vs Godzilla from 1962! Plus the artwork on the inside of the “book” containing the films. Are gorgeous to look at as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!
*by B***S on December 9, 2025*

Beautiful, full of quality extras and well put together! I knew Criterion made the book big but underestimated how large it would be! Between the size and the quality it can serve as an art piece more than just being another part of your movie catalogue.
