If you are a fan of Godzilla, this double feature disk is a must own! Showcasing the final two films of the Heisei era, both films play vital roles in the Godzilla saga.

1. Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla - Okay, this one is definately the weaker of the two films on this disk. Actually "SpaceGodzilla" may be the weakest entry in Heisei series. The basic storyline is that there are two factions in the government fighting over the Godzilla problem faced by Japan. Should he be killed or controlled? Using a psychic, one group launches Project T with hopes that Godzilla can be controlled and used to do the psychic's bidding. On the other hand the military has created Moguera, a poor man's version of MechaGodzilla in hopes of dealing with the rampaging lizard.While all this is going on, SpaceGodzilla shows up and kind of pees on everyones Wheaties by attacking Godzilla and capturing Little Godzilla.

SpaceGodzilla probably looked like a good idea on paper, but on film he just comes off as clunky and not very threatening. Saddled with this HUGE (and I mean HUGE) Crystal shell on his back, he looks as though he can barely move let alone fight. Once he sheds most of the shell he's still stuck with these two giant crytals jutting out of his shoulders and it looks as though it's a struggle simply to raise his arms. Mothra is listed as being in this, but she is only shown in a brief shot still flying into space, basically a cameo appearance. There are a couple mini-Mothra messengers but that is about it. Overall this is a pretty weak film, but it is somewhat important as it sets up a couple events seen in the next film. 2 Stars out of 5.

2. Godzilla vs. Destoroyah - In case you were wondering, it's pronounced "Destoryer". This is definately the best film of the Heisei series, and for me personally one of the best films of the entire Godzilla series! Godzilla is basically a walking nuclear reactor, and bad news for the world...he's going into meltdown mode! Hoping to destory Godzilla before he goes nuclear, the military look to the success Dr. Kyohei Yamane had with the Oxygen Destroyer 50 years previously and bring in his grandson to work on another Oxygen Destoryer device. Unfortunately, a strange new life form has sprouted up where the original Oxygen Destroyed was detonated. This new life form begin to grow rapidly into a bunch of viscous 10 foot tall creatures that begin destorying Tokyo.

This is a great movie, Godzilla looks phenomenal with his "lava rash", Destoroyah is awesome looking, and poses a genuine threat. There is one great scene with a reporter stuck in a car trying to evade a Destoroyah that is simply nail-biting fun! The film score is top notch with Toho and Godzilla veteran Akira Ifukube providing the music in what would be his last film score before his death. The special effects, the acting (both physical and the dubbing) are top notch, the storyline is a notch above most other entries in the series as well. Overall I give this entry 5 out of 5 stars!

My second heisei DVD and to a pretty low quality. Unlike "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II", the Japanese audio tracks aren't included in either film and still no Toho logo. Same old boring menus. No wonder its two films for the price of one, what crummy quality!! This DVD makes the GMK DVD look good.

Another well priced double feature. Anamorphic widescreen, multiple language options, subtitles. Good picture quality. good sound. And its the last two godzilla flicks of the 2oth century.

I bought this disc a while back, and I really liked it. It has two movies on one disc, one movie on each side. It's performance is excellent. The japanese language isn't available, but it's still great. I personally think Godzilla vs. Destroyah is the best out of the two. Godzilla looks awsome and the ending is very emotional thanks to Akira Ifukube who came out of retirement for Godzilla's final bow. On that note, the music throughout the film is very powerful. It begins and ends the story perfectly.

Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla is good too. It's a story in which Godzilla battles against another counterpart. But this time, his clone is evil. And of course, he has to put up with yet another man-made machine. It's the sequel to Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2, and yes, his son(who is very cute this time) is in the story. If you're looking for the ending of the Heisi series of Big G, this is it.

Spacegodzilla runs a bit long but Destoroyah, yes and H is a fun movie. The only negitive is that it doesn't really explain what happens at the end.

Fun for the whole family! The kids love it! Easy menus, english dubbing available as well as original Japanese version! Worth the money for a classic movie lover! this double feature rocks!

When I first watched these two movies, I liked them. Although Godzilla v.s Spacegodzilla is my least favorite movie from the Hesei series, if your'e a Godzilla fan, you get over some of the wierdness.

Godzilla v.s Spacegodzilla:

the movie begins a year after Godzilla v.s Mechagodzilla. Godzilla's resting in the pacific off an island called Bass Island. The JSDF is finished building their new Godzilla weapon, called Moguera. this project is called Project M, which is built to kill Godzilla. the other project is project Telepathy, or Project T. two people are trying to persuade Miki Seagusa, who doesn't want to help control Godzilla. But when a tiny Mothra comes to her showing the Comsos saying that a space monster is coming to kill Godzilla, she agrees. meanwhile, two JSDF soldiers, Koji Sinjo, and Kiyoshi Sato have been sent to Bass island to find a man called Akira Yuki. when trying to find him, they come across some crystal prisons that Spacegodzilla made. Yuki kills a tarantula that was on Sato's neck and they two soldiers follow Yuki and meet Little Godzilla, the baby Godzilla from Godzilla v.s Mechagodzilla who is now thirty meters tall. the Project T team comes to the island and Godzilla comes to the island as well. the mission fails and Spacegodzilla lands on the island after dealing with Moguera. it puts Little Godzilla into a crystal prison, defeats Godzilla, and flies off, leaving Godzilla to mourn the capture of his son. the Japanese mafia captures Miki and try to use her to get Godzilla to come to Japan. Spacegodzilla comes to Fukuoka. and the repaired Moguera is sent out to stop it. Godzilla also come and together the Moguera and Godzilla beat Spacegodzilla. but Moguera is destroyed by Spacegodzilla and Godzilla summons enough energy to wipe out Spacegodzilla.

Godzilla v.s Destroyah:

the movie starts two years after Godzilla v.s Spacegodzilla and Bass island has dissapeared. then all of a sudden, Godzilla attacks Hong Kong, some of his body glowing red and glowing dorsal fins. back on Japanese turf a strange incident at a tunnel going unde Tokyo bay, where the original Godzilla wa killed. later, an aquarium has a strange accident and some soil sample taken from the tunnel had some microscopic creatures in it's case. the Oxygen Destroyer hit this creature and it began to evolve. Godzilla is then reportedly going to explode, destroying the earth. the micro scopic creatures have gotten bigger and invade a warehouse and when some soldiers come most of the soldiers are killed. Godzilla goes to a nuclear power plant and is frozen by the Super-X 3. Godzilla's son who fed on the radiation that destroyed Bass island is forty meters tall and is going back to Adanoa island, in the bering sea. Godzilla's hearty is overloading and will melt down and the juvenile Destroyah creatures become one creature. Junior is used to lure godzilla to fight Destroyah, but junior defeats Destroyah and Godzilla's in Tokyo. Destoryah becomes it's ultimate form and kills Junior. Godzilla and Destroyah fight for a long while and Godzilla eventually kills Destroyah. the army comes into the battlefield and when Godzilla melts down, they try to freeze him to minimize the damage. and deep in the mist of what was once Godzilla, Junior is fully revived by his father's energy and takes the title of Godzilla, King of the Monsters.

First off, it's two movies which is pretty cool. But, Spacegodzilla is kinda disapointing, but is still good. The Destoyia one is really really amazing. One of the best Godzilla movies I've ever seen. Lots of action, monsters look great, and a good plot-line.

Lots of monster action and special effects that delight my grandkids the "crumb brothers". We babysit them one saturday a month and when they walk in the house, it is Godzilla Pa, lets watch Godzilla. Entertaining movies that I enjoy as much as them. The movies are basic action that is easy to follow the storyline for them.

Godzilla Vs. Spacegodzilla, being the sixth movie in the heisie series of Godzilla films, falls far below the series normally low standards, complete with unconvincing new monsters, Spacegodzilla and the MOGERA, no motive for Godzilla to be fighting Spacegodzilla other than revenge(on which the film is not very clear), no actual battles between Godzilla and the JSDF(all stock footage from Godzilla vs Mothra and Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II), crappy battles between MOGERA and Spacegodzilla in an oh so fake asteroid field, a poorly planned love story, the second showing of the Cosmos from Godzilla Vs. Mothra, as well as a new monster, the small Fairy Mothra( who later shows up in the unrelated Mothra Trilogy), and, of course, the reincarnation of Minilla from Destroy All Monters. All in all, the only good point is Takayuki Hatturi's awesome score for the film. Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, the sequel to this film, is far better and is far more worthy of wasting your money on, as this film falls flat in all aspects, one of the top three worst Godzilla films by far.

For Godzilla, the end is near. GvD capped off a series of Gojiro flicks of the `90's that had a very mixed success. The nutty villainous-westerners of the future plot of "King Ghidorah" masked a movie that wasn't really about anything. "Destroyah" is a different affair entirely, arguably taking the character full circle to his roots in 1954.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
"Destroyah" is a mutated crustacean, created by the oxygen-destroyer machine used to off Gojiro in his very first appearance. At first, a horde of vicious, man-sized Destroyah's run amok across Japan. When confronted by advanced Japanese weaponry (which includes special "ultra-low-temperature lasers), the creatures merge into a larger keiju-sized beast capable of flight and wreaking havoc on a much larger scale. The only hope is to draw Godzilla and his adolescent son (Godzilla, Jr., or just "Junior") into the fray. However, Big-G has his own problems - his nuclear-powered heart is threatening to meltdown, which may threaten life on Earth itself. Now both monsters are a threat, and each offers its own version of salvation. Meanwhile, the under-funded Godzilla task force struggles to deal with the impending double catastrophe.

I haven't been much of a fan of the Godzilla movies in some time, but I enjoyed this flick which channels the monster's iconic and tragic value as few other flicks have managed to. There are many slow parts, and often it's hard to figure out what's going on (Destroyah seems to be killed off repeatedly) but the finer points of the story manage to keep a grasp. The special effects are definitely a cut above the Godzilla movies I remember, with much more convincing wholesale devastation. Destroyah is a great monster - definitely a cut above other Keiju, with more menace and malice than your ordinary guy-in-a-rubber suit, and because he can change shape (or number) without warning, he's often several monsters in one. But above all, "Destroyah" rules as a monster flick that stays true to its roots and themes, and makes the viewer do the same.

Godzilla has been around since forever as long as i can remember. But seeing the 90s type Godzilla is truly awesome. This double feature is a very good and decent DVD to be honest. If you happen to get this Godzilla DVD, get it for "Godzilla vs Destoroyah", which, in my view is the best Godzilla film of the 90s...highly recommended !!

What can I say. Godzilla has captured the imagination of my grandson*. If it's anything to do with Godzilla then he's right there in a sec. This one seems to be his favorite at the moment. He's sure to wear it out from frequent watching. I don't really get it -- for me if you've seen 1 you've seen them all, but he can go on and on and on about this movie. Too cute!

*Musta got it from my daughter cause she had an affinity for Godzilla at his age too and will sit and watch this with him even today....

I didn't think G vs space G was that great, except that I watched it twice in one day, only a few hours apart

vs Destoroyah was, well, the end of the second series, while a cliffhanger that never really gets resolved because Toei realised that they had killed off too many of the better monsters, leaving them with very little for future movies.

I'll refrain from retelling the story, since this has already been done by previous reviewers. This is probably the most emotional of this particular set of Toho's series. Any father can feel Godzilla's heartbreak as he leans over his deceased son, although his red breath being released and absorbed by the dead baby is an important bit of foreshadowing that is easily missed.

Upon reaching the critical meltdown temperature, after he has defeated his enemy, you may find your eyes filling with tears as you watch the beloved monster begin to melt away in what seems to begin as an apocalyptic "Planet of the Apes" type of ending- especially through the simultaneous narration. However, just as you thought it was all over forever, the familiar silhouettee rises out of the ashes and projects the familiar roar, you are left with the thought that all is never lost, and there is still hope.

OK, I know that a lot of people here hate Space Godzilla, and that's their right. But I don't take my Godzilla too seriously, and I thought S. Godzilla had a lot of fun aspects to it:

1.) Miki's haircut
2.) The weird, otherworldly atmostphere the monster creates in the heart of Fukuoka
3.) Those crystal torpedos!
4.) Miki gets a boyfriend
5.) Yuki, the Japanese Clint Eastwood
6.) Godzilla's emerging from the sea. One of the best.
7.) That arc of electricity playing between S. Godzilla's --antlers, or whatever.
8.) One of the best-ever lines spoken in a Godzilla film, by the NASA representative:
"NASA was unable to come up with an explanation for this. We can only speculate that it must have been some sort of Huge Monster."

Destroyah is thrilling. The ending is spectacular and appropriately epic. But I wish Yuki had been in this one, too. (NOTE: Try playing Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" against the final battle scene. Pretty cool.)

I'd recommend both.

Ok im here to say GODZILLA VS SPACEGODZILLA is NOT I reapeat is NOT a BAD MOVIE! To be truthfull this movie is mainly about the monsters, and that isnt a bad thing because I like godzilla movies because of GODZILLA not the actors or story. Also the story is an ok story in this movie, nothing great but who cares. Also the special effect are the best in this movie out of any Godzilla movie to date. For this movie I give a 9.0!

Now GODZILLA VS DESTROYER, this movie has one ofthe best story lines out all the godzilla movies, but the effects in this one just didnt do anything for me. So I give this movie a 7.0.

best godzilla movie ever almost better than final wars.destroyah is his cruelite enemy.and godzilla jr puts up a good fight.also godzilla dies in this one and godzilla 2000 is realy godzilla jr who exsorbed all of godzilla energy to became a full grown adult monster.

This double-sided DVD packs together two very different movies in that it combines one Godzilla movie that is widely considered to be one of the best ever, with one that is widely considered to be one of the weakest entries in the series. Both of these films feature Godzilla in what I like to call the "reluctant hero" role. Godzilla doesn't care about humanity and would love to stomp flat all of our cities, but the emrgence of some unforeseen threat thrusts him into the role of the planet's guardian. My four star rating is an average: 5 for Destoroyah, 3 for SpaceGodzilla.

Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, from 1994, is the supposedly weak one. Godzilla faces off with a clone of himself, SpaceGodzilla, who supposedly arose when G-cells in space encountered a crystalline life-form and mutated - or something along those lines. Supposedly those cells came about from when Biollante was destroyed, although it has been pointed out that Biollante couldn't have existed in the same timeline as King Ghidora, given the time-travelling that took place in Godzilla vs. King Ghidora. The visual effects in this one are pretty good, except for the battle between SpaceGodzilla and Moguera in the asteroid belt, which looks utterly craptacualr. Moguera is a giant robot designed to fight Godzilla, but is deployed against SpaceGodzilla. Rumor has it that the Mechagodzilla from 1993's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II was supposed to be the human anti-Godzilla agent (rebuilt after getting fried in that movie), but Mechagodzilla and Godzilla would prove to be far too overpowering for SpaceGodzilla, thus making the final battle less suspenseful. Therefore, Moguera was introduced. I guess rebuilding MechaGodzilla would have put the defense force over budget. In the end, Godzilla and Moguera team up to kill SpaceGodzilla, and Moguera gets totalled in the process, leaving Godzilla to escape and rejoin his son. The human drama feels particularly obtrusive in this one: SpaceGodzilla attacks Godzilla and his son and imprisons Godzilla's son, so you know Godzilla has a serious bone to pick with his counterpart, but we have to wait for the human story to play out before we can get to the "money shot": guys in rubber suits duking it out and leveling buildings in the process. The final three-way battle is pretty good, it's just a long time coming and hard to wait for. There are those who have made the argument that SpaceGodzilla is actually as more powerful monster than Destroyer, but this film is not nearly as good as its sequel.

1995's Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (Destroyer) is quite different. I believe it's worth it to buy the DVD just for this one. Considered by many to be the best Godzilla film, it also is rumored to be the last one Toho ever intended to make, until the negative reaction from loyal fans over the 1998 American Godzilla prompted them to bring back the Japanese Godzilla. In Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, some sort of disaster has rendered Godzilla's island home a smoldering wasteland. Godzilla's nuclear energy is running dangerously out of control, causing him to appear in the glowing "meltdown form", arguably his most powerful incarnation. In this film, Godzilla's runaway nuclear power has made him a threat to the planet, building upon the original metaphor of Godzilla as the atomic bomb. Meanwhile, his son has vanished, but later appears as a nearly full-grown Godzilla, whom the characters call "Little One" but most of us refer to as "Godzilla Junior". Meanwhile, a new threat has emerged in a swarm of mutant micro-organisms that quickly mutate and grow, eventually combining to form a giant monster: Destroyer. The defense force reasons that if Godzilla can be lured into Tokyo, then perhaps Destroyer can dispatch him and end the threat Godzilla poses to the world. This sets up a climactic and emotionally charged series of fights. This film has a dark and somber mood, and though most Godzilla films are great for kids, some scenes in this one, particularly during Godzilla Junior's battle with Destroyer, may be too graphic for children. There's a lot less human drama in this one, and those scenes are tightly directed and flow nicely. A lot of drama is played out by the monsters, and that is done surprisingly well. When Godzilla cries over his fallen son, you really feel the emotional imapct. This film is quite well-paced and has plenty of action. Godzilla appears early and often, laying waste wherever he goes. Destroyer appears in several forms, all of them monstrous and the final one quite demonic, giving it a menacing presence and really adding to the dark atmosphere of the film. Even though Godzilla is "bad" in this one, when he uses his super-charged red "spiral fire ray" to splatter Destroyer, you see the awe in the eyes of the humans as they show their respect for this unstoppable force of nature, as one character utters "Not even the Destroyer is a match for Godzilla's power." I'm sure I'm not spoiling the ending by telling you that Godzilla dies. As his radioactivity finally reaches a critical point, the king of the monsters melts down. The meltdown scene is very graphic and very emotional, and, I think, would have been a perfect ending to the series had there never been another film after this one. However, after Godzilla is gone, suddenly a giant silohuette can be seen through the smoke: Godzilla Junior, charged by the energy emitted from his father's death, has grown into a full-sized Godzilla, and as the film ends, he bellows in that distinctive roar.

The legacy will never end...

These two movies completeing the Godzilla stories of the 90's are very powerful. Once again Godzilla is not just a reak havoc symbol of the 1950's "A" bomb, nor the campy fun in the sun Gozilla of the 60's and 70's. Godzilla is in effect the gardian and conscience of the Japanese people. In addition, baby Godzilla gets to grow up in "Godzilla vs Destoroyah". The way that movie ends, it will bring tears to your eyes, and set the stage for a whole new Godzilla saga. These are a must get!

Godzilla vs. Destroyah- A Fitting End

This was a great way to conclude the story of the mighty monster known as Godzilla. The story was fantastic and only made sense that the radiation would overcome him one day. Although the ending confused a lot of people. That is not supposed to be Godzilla's ghost; it is supposed to be Godzilla Jr. and indicating that he was brought back to life. I hope if they decided to kill Godzilla for a final time again, that they carry it out as well as they did on here. And we all know that this was supposed to be the last Godzilla movie, but it wasn't. It goes to show just because someone dies; it doesn't mean it is the end of their story.

Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla- Great Monster with OK Story

I enjoyed this movie more than I did Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (II). This had good action. Godzilla gets revenge on Space Godzilla for hurting his Step-son Godzilla Jr

Between the two, Destroyah is the superior for sure

This features 2 great movies.Godzilla vs spacegodzilla was a great movie.Godzilla vs Destroya was even better

If you're a Godzilla Fan, then these movies are for you. The first movie introduces a cosmic powered Godzilla from the furthest reaches of space, who uses baby Godzilla (a cute little bugger)as bait, to lure daddy into one titanic tussle. At the same time G-force uses the remains of Mecha-Godzilla, to create a new weapon to destroy Godzilla, and end up using it to try and destroy both monsters. Things get pretty interesting.
The Second movie, reintroduces the weapon that was used to destroy Godzilla in the very first movie from 1956, only it's evolved. Meanwhile, daddy Godzilla is literally going through a nuclear meltdown and is not only terrorizing all of Japan, yet again, but is battling this new and improved monster, dubbed Destroyah. Junior gets into the mix and the battle gets insane, and the ending is one not to be missed.
What's great about these two movies are the touching elements that make you get emotionally involved with these larger then life monsters.
I love Godzilla and thoroughly enjoyed these movies, and hope you will as well.

Now most people hate this two G films out of all the Godzilla made in the 90's. But what thefans don't know is this two flims had one thing that the other Godzilla 90's could never have......a real plot.
Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla is a great film. Sure some parts were pretty campy in here, but hey, it's godzilla. I just hate baby godzilla, he acts so cute, it's annoying. I like Space Godzilla because he's is Godzilla but more powerful and he's from space. Overall I like this one.
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah was really good but too sad. This is the only time I like baby godzilla because he's all grown up. The monster Destoryah was one of the best Godzilla Monsters ever, unlike the other bad monsters of Godzila 90's films, Destoroyah is actully evil. Why well he almost kill Godzilla's son, and no mmonster would ever dare to do that. I hated to see Godzilla die in here it's so sad. I wish Toho used the alternate ending instead because in there Godzilla went out in a Blaze of Glory (u can only see that ending on the internet). I really like this film.
