Some DVD Spotlights with Wheelz!


Hey guys Wheelz here and just coming on to mention the new DVD Spotlight Reviews I post to youtube. Most of these new DVD Spotlights are on Kaiju-eiga, Tokusatsu and Anime. The most recent uploads I've done were on Ultraman and several Godzilla movies! I plan to atleast upload a new DVD spotlight per day until I run out of movies to review then take some possible requests. Down below I got some of my most recent DVD Spotlights along with their youtube description, I hope you all enjoy them!



The Toho Master Collection Set of Rodan and War of the Gargantuas. These two movies show off some of Eiji Tsuburaya's greatest special effects. These were also some of Eiji's favorite movies to work on and are some of my favorite non-Godzilla films too. In my opinion the special effects are the reason why I enjoy these movies. The 1956 "Rodan" debuts the kaiju Rodan, but there isn't just one there's two! Japan must try to outwit the flying kaiju the best they can before the Radons mate. Then in the 1966 "War of the Gargantuas", an in-direct sequel to "Frankenstien Conqurers the World", Japan is yet again terrorized by two kaiju. Gaila and Sanda, two bigfoot like creatures bent on killing one another. The special feature comes on the Rodan disc and it's a documentary; "Bringing Godzilla Down to Size." The documentary practically tells you the background in how Eiji Tsuburaya made these films.



As Godzilla's showa era came to a close, Godzilla had go against MechaGodzilla! MechaGodzilla was another Kaiju to come close to killing the King. After their 1st two battles Godzilla destroyed MechaG, but he soon returned that following year. A newer model Mechagodzilla returned to have its revenge this time to be joined by Titanosaurus. Godzilla was out-matched but defeated the two on his own! These last two enstallments in the Showa Era are two to be in a fan's top 10! With these leading to Godzilla's first hiatus, fans were pleased to see this end.
