See every screen-shattering thrill!") starring Raymond Burr (in the American version), Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, and Haruo Nakajima (the man in the Godzilla monster suit!). Note that this movie was originally titled "Gojira" when released in Japan in 1954. Two years later, an Americanized re-edited version was released which listed Terry Morse and Ishiro Honda as directors. It had most of the commentary by the Japanese actors about nuclear war removed, and new scenes were shot with Raymond Burr, who plays a TV commentator announcing what Godzilla is doing, thus allowing him to be in the movie without actually appearing in any of the original scenes! Even though these new scenes with Raymond Burr were added, the new running time of the movie was still 8 minutes shorter than the original running time, because they removed quite a bit of the original footage. The U.S. version is 90 minutes, and the original Japanese version is 98 minutes. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
