Full Japanese Sora no Daikaiju Radon trailer

As the title states, this is the full length theatrical trailer for Toho's 1956 kaiju classic: "Sora no daikaiju Radon" translated as "Giant Monster of the Sky Radon". We know it simply as "Rodan."

I hope they release a DVD of this daikaiju someday, where we get both the original Japanese AND the U.S. version.

(The subtitled version is always cooler, and I won't buy a kaiju DVD any other way now!)

Well, I've heard Classic Media, the people behind the new Godzilla DVDs, are planning to release this along with War of the Gargantuas next year.

'Toho's Crowning Achievement' they call it--and boy,are they ever RIGHT!This is a fabulous monster flick & great movie in general!Rodan was always one of my most favorite kaiju since childhood,& the original version is the best way to enjoy it(but then,ANY kaiju fan can tell you THAT,right?).Just like Godzilla,long live Rodan!

Plus, good news from TOHO:

SONY will finally release MOTHRA, BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE, THE H-MAN and REBIRTH OF MOTHRA 3: KING GHIDORAH ATTACKS" on US DVD this summer!!!!! I've been waiting mainly for the first 3 on this list (especially BATTLE--it's all about Akira Ifukube's music)!!

Imagine if this movie had come out in Germany after the German distributors started putting Godzilla, Frankenstein, or King Kong in the title of every kaiju film:

"Frankenstein und die Dinosaurier Fledermäuse"

"King Kong geht in die Luft"

"Godzilla trinkt Red Bull"

so they used c02 for the atomic breath then, i like these kaijus and other tokusatsus, but it seemed it havent evolved much, with those ridiculous plot, science, sets and props, and the terrible sharp cheesy acting especially by the foreign extras

[Xenoace32]

If any Monster needs a 2012 remake its Rodan! I cannot believe someone has not done it yet. Come on Japan bring Rodan into the 21st century Please!

I bought this dvd yesterday and had to watch it immediately. The ending was one of the saddest I had seen in a while.

[Khultan]

I prefer to see it where the original language is spoken, I've had enough of those years as a kid hearing it  dubbed.

Well, we finally GOT "Mothra", "Battle In Outer Space" and "H-Man" (part of Columbia's Ishiro Honda Toho box set), but no "Rebirth Of Mothra 3", yet. Also, its easy to see Masaru Sato in "H-Man"...

he's the one going to war on that baritone sax during the nightclub scenes and leading the band (he also did it in "Gigantis The Fire Monster"). Plus, that "stripper theme" was slinky as hell!!

[wandawong]

Great movies! Actually, Masaru Sato scored H-Man. He was more of a jazz guy (loved Henry Mancini music) and got the chance to do some great nightclub scenes in H-Man (Bijo to ekitai ningen). Occasionally, Ifukube gets a little lazy (here's the next 32 bars - fresh from the copy machine). That's why Toho always drops Ifukube's music into trailers... it fits anywhere because he usually avoids composition that's directly interpretive of the screen action. But, I really admire his work, too.
