good artwork though it's a Shame Classic Media didn't realese "Mothra".
Mothraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
What Toho needs to do is release Godzilla: The Final Box with English sub-titles. I don't care if the English versions or the International Dubs are not included. I want the box! Too bad the DVD rights are spread across Classic Media and Sony.
Among all the Kaijus though, I find Mothra really weak. I Admit I've only seen it in Godzilla movies, so maybe it's better in it's own release. But I just can't suspend my belief enough to think that a giant moth or a pair of giant larvae can be harmful, besides just getting freaked out by the size.
The ultimate Godzilla adversaries are King Gidorah and the really mind-trippy Biollante.

I don't know. I thought that they did a pretty good job with Godzilla 2000. I loved the commentary on that.

...yes, but they didn't even bother with the original Japanese version of the film.

I will say I'm not fan of Tristar's treatment of Tohos sci-fi films. Bundling these absolute classics in a set is retarded, release the damn things separately you cheap b*****ds!
On a side note, highly recommended for fans of old school sci-fi or Horror (H-Man is a little creepy, while Mothra and Battle in Outer Space are an absolute blast!).
Oh yeah one more thing, shouldn't it be 'Fathers'? Being Ishiro Honda, Akira Ifukube and Tomoyuki Tanaka? The director, producer and music conductor for pretty much every Toho sci-fi film....
