All Kaiju movies of all time

[Mr. Yellow]

I've heard that Godzilla is considered tokusatsu.

Still waiting for an ulimate mega Godzilla release with every single movie released in both subbed and dubbed formats, special features, and a nice boxed set...

Am I asking too much?

Tokusatsu's meaning is basically 'special photography' aka SFX so yes, Godzilla is 'tokusatsu'. For some reason most people (probably outside of Japan) seem to leave that word/term only for TV shows now. Maybe they think it has something to do only with a 'hero show' .

Asking for every single Godzilla film subbed/dubbed is probably asking a bit much. But per chance to dream eh?. Although I would only want subs/dubs for the films up to Terror of Mechagodzilla. After that sub only, but that's me. :buttrock: There's a bunch out now with both versions already :thumbs:

Yes. I've always considered things made outside of Japan to be considered tokusatsu, Power Rangers included.

Yes, I am a completist, so I kind of want both versions if they are available. I want the same if there are ever any Sentai/Kamen Rider dvd's made.

I'm not a big fan of Kaijun food.
