I knew that reconstructing the International version of Godzilla vs Biollante was going to be a big task. There are 70+ different burnt-in Japanese subtitles to remove to start with. The main issue with that is, as far as I am aware, the International edit has only been released

My day job gets hectic around this time each year, so I wanted a fairly simple reconstruction project to work on as stress relief. As projects go, Son of Godzilla seemed like an ideal choice; at least at first glance. The US version cuts out an opening sequence, but after that

Not much to say as these were pretty straight-forward recreations of the US releases. Reconstructing the opening and closing titles gave a few challenges, but I think they both turned out well. Here’s some samples from Dagora (Dogora).

Making an HD version of Rodan is a project I've revisited over the years. There are so many low quality stock footage segments that I just couldn't blend seamlessly with the HD Japanese footage. With the help of some new software last year I'm finally happy with the results.

The Japanese footage is all from the 4K restoration, US footage is upscaled using AI software and both combined to give a make a great viewing experience.

The Criterion version is actually the Japanese version (with Internation English). What I've done is an HD reconstruction of the US version which is significantly different, has new scenes not in the Japanese dub, and and several altered scenes as well.

For the US version, there are several sections of stock footage material. Until I can get access to better quality, I did the best I could to upscale and grade this footage, and blend it with the widescreen Japanese material.

The goal is to recreate the International version - which never had those burnt-in subtitles. Using the Japanese footage as it was wouldn't achieve the reconstruction effort.

Yeah, these original US dubs are disappearing and are likely never going to get an HD release. Toho has only been approving releases with their sub-par dubs. It's nice to have the Japanese versions, but even those are typically desaurated and/or graded on poorly color-graded.

The audio is from a recording I made with my phone. That pretty much necessitated replacing the visuals. Those were taken from the Toho bluray (and obviously massively corrected). Thanks!

As far as I know their project completed their scanning a couple of years ago. I haven't seen updates posted recently though. I was given access to raw scans myself, but I don't know where these were sourced from. Just decided I wanted an full HD version to watch for now. 😊

The other issue with Rodan is the special effects footage that is unique to the US edition only. Again, I finally feel like I was able to improve these well enough to blend uniformly with the HD material around it.
