King Kong vs. Godzilla (Japanese)

This classic movie now comes to blu-ray is it worth an upgrade if you have the dvd well yes and no.If you have a projector and need a nice in focus picture due to your larger picture the answer is yes but if you are watching on tv i would say no.Now about the disc itself the sound is very good as is the picture the col is nice and rich the trouble with this disc is the movie is shown in the wrong format what you get here is a movie that was shot in full scope but on the disc we get a widescreen format which makes it just a little better than pan and scan.The second thing is there is no extras on this disc at all not even a trailer which is a great shame as i have it on 16mm and its a classic.As i have said many times we are not getting the best of blu-ray with these movie only discs but we seem to be getting more and more of them from the so called big companys like UNIVERSAL etc yet a small company like ARROW are showing the big boys how it should be done.One last thing UNIVERSAL have also brought out the follow up on blu-ray KING KONG ESCAPES which also is a movie only disc with good col and sound but also in the wrong format and no extras come on UNIVERSAL you can do better than this

King Kong vs Godzilla 1963Great fun if you don't take it seriously. The monsters are shockingly badly done, but that's part of the fun, and if you like THUNDERBIRDS you will love all the all the model cars, trains, army vehicles and tanks. Japanese language dubbed into English and there is plenty of amusing dialogue.So think back to when you were 5 years old and enjoy the fun. KAN
