The original, uncut Godzilla, is being shown at various movie theaters around the country beginning on Friday. This is not the cheesy dubbed version that Americans are accustomed to. The American release was practically wiped clean of the central message of nuclear horrors that Japanese audiences needed little imagination to relate to. 40 minutes of the film were edited out, and scenes with Raymond Burr inserted. A love triangle subplot was almost entirely removed. Even special effects scenes were trimmed. But now the monster is back in all its original glory and without the distraction of that pesky dubbing.
