I just picked this film up yesterday and upon viewing it last night was very pleased. There's really not a lot of action, though there are some very cool destruction scenes, the miniture sets in this film are great. Also, the remastering of the picture and audio is fantastic. I like this original title even though Godzilla vs Monster Zero is a cool title as well. I put off watchin these films for so long for these very releases and I was so entertained upon viewing Invasion Of Astro Monster that I picked up Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster for tonight.

Now if they'd only step up with releasing Rodan, Yog Monster From Space, and Mothra, in this series of remasters I'd purchase them instantly. I'm pretty sure I'll be scoopin up, Godzilla vs Mothra, and Godzilla vs The Sea Monster, by months end maybe even Godzilla Raids Again. In fact I have to get Gojiro pretty soon as well.

Any fan of the Monster Zero is missing out if they haven't picked this up yet.

Yeah, MONSTER ZERO is my personal favorite Godzilla sequel. It's so crazy and wonderful. I love the Planet X uniforms and yeah, the destruction scenes are great. It's really probably Eiji Tsuburaya's finest FX job and Nick Adams is so wonderfully over the top in the film.

YOG is out on DVD in pretty nice quality, from Media Blasters, btw.

MONSTER ZERO is the original US title of the movie, and one of the coolest titles ever. it's a great movie.

RODAN is supposed to be released next year, and the YOG disc is good, though missing the superior AIP dub from Titra Studios it got over here in the States.
