'No laws against it'!
Saw it years ago, It's a better movie, than the American version since certain plot points got lost, but not really more fun to watch. the Raymond Burr scenes replaced equally boring scenes. More informative scenes, but equally boring. One I remember was a 5-10 minute discussion about why they didn't want to use the Oxygen Destroyer. Another was a scene where the scientist who made the Oxygen Destroyer talked about why it should never be used, for any reason, ever. They did move the plot along, but felt a bit... excessively long. Like a revolving argument where neither side wants to relent, but keeps talking anyways.It's only been in recent years that the original Japanese version started making the rounds on various US channels. It's very good but I actually like the version with Burr better. For me, his narration lent a bit a gravitas and continuity to the film.

That is an impressive work of art... in part because it looks to be 20 feet tall.Not Godzilla movie related, but very cool nonetheless.

"Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut-by-cut. I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes as if they were creating a new movie.
"What I was aiming for was a style that looked like it was taken by masters of monochrome photography," he continued. "We were able to unearth the texture of the skin and the details of the scenery that were hidden in the photographed data. Then, a frightening Godzilla, just like the one in the documentary, appeared. By eliminating colour, a new sense of reality emerges. Please live and resist further fear at the theater."

As often as he feels like it. It is not our place to argue...How many times can Godzilla destroy Japan ?
