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.

I watched the new Blu-Ray version of this from Kraken Releasing. It obviously looks better than ever. This is a really good Godzilla movie, in fact one of the very best in the series. It's very serious. There is no silliness to be found.

It is considered bad. But it’s so much more watchable than the Roland Emmerich movie.

These are some thoughts regarding the Japanese version of the film titled "The Return of Godzilla" or "Gojira (1984)" or something equally confusing.
