Godzilla 1985
Prepare yourself: the greatest star of all has returned.
1985 · 87 min · ★ 6.8 · Action, Science Fiction, Thriller
Originally released in Japan as "The Return of Godzilla" in 1984, this is the heavily re-edited, re-titled "Godzilla 1985". Adding in new footage of Raymond Burr, this 16th Godzilla film ignores all previous sequels and serves as a direct follow-up to the 1956 "Godzilla King of the Monsters", which also featured scenes with Burr edited into 1954's "Godzilla". This film restores the darker tone of the original, as we witness the nuclear destruction of giant lizard terrorizing Japan.
Directed by R.J. Kizer · Written by Tomoyuki Tanaka
