A re-edited Italian-language dubbed version of the original Godzilla, using as a basis the U.S. version, "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" (1956), plus WWII newsreel footage and clips from other science fiction films. The re-edited film was then colorized via a process called "Spectrorama 70" consisting of applying various colored gels to the black and white footage. The film's opening and ending also features new music composed by musicians Fabio Frizzi, Franco Bixio, and Vince Tempera (under the pseudonym Magnetic System).
Directed by Luigi Cozzi and Ishirō Honda and Terry O. Morse

A psychedelic scuzzy version of a Godzilla King of the monsters; with some of the most insane coloring I've ever seen, unnecessary incorporation of WWII newsreels and an opening theme out a Fulci zombie movie that push it to almost experimental territory. Exactly what I would expect from Italian producers in the late 70s.

Super bizarre that they somehow made a bastardized version of a bastardization of an original movie actually somewhat unique and eerie.

Eurotrash, you never cease to surprise me!

An Italian redub of the American re-edit with psychedelic splotches of color and tries to reinsert the allegorical theme from the original Godzilla, but haphazardly removes all subtext. If this sort of novelty interests anyone, sort through the reviews by popularity; someone will have a link available.
