Originally Godzilla rereleased.....

[NoCalMike]

Ok, I have never seen the original Godzilla, bits and pieces of course, but never sat down, watched it, and analyzed it. So, can someone explain to me what exactly was cut out of it, in order for it to be shown over here? There has been talk that Godzilla was really a big commentary on the bad fallout of nuclear war/weapons, and it sort of had an anti-american sentiment, so when it was released over here, it was cut and edited just to make it a big monster movie. Is there any truth to that? Some say it was just the violence that was cut........anyone have any insight for me?

I think they just re-edited into a movie that would appeal more to the American Audience. They also added the stuff with Raymond Burr.

 

I don't think it was anything like we now associate with movies being cut.

Raymond Burr was edited into the movie to give an American audience someone to identify with.

It was also dubbed. I'm not sure what if any scenes were edited out, but if any were it was probably scenes with a more serious tone to them.

Godzilla uncensored? Geez, sounds like he/she/it does a graphic monster sex scene with Mothra or something.
