Here's my Christmas gift to you all, the original Japanese versions of the original Showa era Godzilla films in glorious high-definition, in Japanese with English subtitles FOR FREE! I ripped these from the Toho Blu-rays, sans Godzilla '54 (ripped from the Criterion BD), Godzilla vs. Megalon (ripped from the Tokyo Shock BD), The Return of Godzilla (ripped from the Kraken BD), and Godzilla vs. Biollante (ripped from the Echo Bridge BD).
You'll notice I added The Return of Godzilla. While the film is the start of the Heisei series, it was still produced during the Showa period in Japan. So it's technically a Showa era film. Have a Showa Godzilla marathon before the release of Legendary's GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS (2019) and GODZILLA VS. KONG (2020).
You can directly stream or download the films from Internet Archive, here's the list:

Thank you very much for this. This is definitely a great way to watch all of the great Godzilla classics.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. You are the best kaiju nerd ever. Hope you will upload heisei movies
ReplyDeletethank you very much. I'm downloading them now.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I had them all, but not in this quality. Much appreciated upgrade.
ReplyDeleteYou did the Lord's work, thank you so so much
ReplyDeleteAny chance these are available as MKV files?
ReplyDeleteThey... They're gone... I watch all of them thanks to you. But today I checked back to continue with the 90's godzilla films, and all your posts have been removed. This is indeed the saddest day.
