- Synopsis
- Godzilla 1985 is a Japanese American science fiction kaiju film co-produced and released by New World Pictures. The film is a heavily re-edited version of the Japanese film, The Return of Godzilla, originally produced by Toho in 1984. In addition to the film being re-cut, re-titled, and dubbed in English, Godzilla 1985 included a small American production featuring new footage shot exclusively for the film's North American release. The Japanese version was directed by Koji Hashimoto, with special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano and starred Ken Tanaka, Yasuko Sawaguchi, and Yosuke Natsuki while the New World version's exclusive footage was directed by R. J. Kizer, written by Tony Randel and Lisa Tomei, featuring American actors Warren J. Kemmerling, James Hess, Travis Swords, and Raymond Burr reprising his role as Steve Martin who has been summoned by the United States military to aide them in a counterattack against Godzilla after he resurfaces 30 years after his initial attack.
