Godzilla Vs Megalon DVD Review: Region All
Studio: Passion Productions
Year: 2002
Country: US
Format: NTSC
No. Of Chapter Stops: 7
Time: 78 Minutes

Video Quality: *
The video quality is terrible as the company Passion Productions used a poor VHS copy of the Goodtimes VHS print. It, like the Goodtimes VHS is missing the opening intro to the film. The picture has grain and specs all over the picture. The color of the picture is discoloured, as the top seems to be a bit brownish-red on it. It also made it seem like Godzilla was brown.

Audio Quality: * ½
There is occasional hissing and popping here and there but it’s ok. In some spots the audio muffles up and it leaves you with an undesirable viewing. It claims to be 5.1 Surround Sound when it is actually PCM audio and it displays the word “Other” instead of “English” on my player. It’s bad but its not too bad.
 
Special Features: 0
No special features on the disc.

Overall: *
With this being a terrible print, it is also an unauthorized dvd released by the company. It was on amazon for a while but was pulled off the website; I believe it was around $14.99 and I luckily picked my copy (still sealed) up by chance at a flea market in the US in 2003 for about $3.95. The company took all credit and gave Toho Co., Ltd. no credit for making the film. I believe you can still find on some sites but with quality and price I’d avoid unless you don’t own the VHS print.
