Battle in Outer Space (1959), dir. Ishiro Honda ★★½
Screen: Computer
Version: English dub
Toho Studios had special effects down back in 1959. None of the hokey CGI in Hollywood we witness nowadays.
8 mm tokusatsu from Ken Films. These were digest versions, sometimes lacking color or sound, that predated VHS. Destroy All Monsters is the only one that’s been re-released on home video – it was an Easter egg on the original Media Blasters discs of the film. I’ve also been able to find Rodan, Battle in Outer Space, Varan the Unbelievable, Godzilla vs. The Thing, Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster, and Frankenstein Conquers the World online in various levels of quality.
