An Original 1959 Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Gojira no Gykushu (released in the U.S. in 1959 as "Gigantis, the Fire Monster", also known as "Godzilla Raids Again" and "Godzilla's Counter Attack"), the 1955 Motoyoshi Oda Japanese Toho kaiju battling rubbery monsters destroys Tokyo science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Nothing like it ever before! The fantastic war of the giant fire monsters!"; "Raging up from hell to destroy each other - but first they'll destroy the world!"; "Gigantis Raging out of the bowels of the earth... A hundred tons of hell and fire to ravage and destroy!"; "Angurus Screaming its challenge of mortal combat... Shooting 10,000 degree jets of flaming devastation!"; "They're both alive! Not one but Two of the most terrifying creatures ever loosed on man"; "The fantastic war of giant fire monsters!"; "Born to destroy each other... But first they'll destroy the world!"; "A cast of thousands!") starring Godzilla (billed as "Gigantis" for the U.S. release), Anguirus (billed as "Angurusa" for the U.S. release; gigantic spiked dinosaur, Angirasu), Hiroshi Koizumi, Setsuko Wakayama, Minoru Chiaki, "and A Cast of Thousands!". Not that this is the second Godzilla movie. Gigantis was actually Gojira/Godzilla, but the group that purchased the American rights to the film renamed him in an attempt to convince audiences that Gigantis was a brand new monster.q Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned a number of FX stills from Toho rubbery monster movies, but this is one of the first we can recall that combines live actors with the monsters! Note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from 1955, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good.
