Godzilla 1984 finally getting a Blu Ray and DVD release

Time to party likes it's 1984 

Godzilla Returns, the kaiju flick that kicked off the Big G's heisei (or eighties) era, is finally coming to Blu Ray and DVD.

For the longest time, this prime slice of monster mashing action has been a nightmare to get hold of due to various licensing and rights issues. Previously, the rights were held by New World Pictures who closed their doors in 1997, barring the release of the film on DVD and Blu Ray.

Thankfully, that deal has finally come to an end, leaving the door open for Kraken Releasing to snap up the rights and squeeze this much sought after film onto DVD and Blu Ray disc. For many - myself included - this will mean finally completing that collection of heisei-era Godzilla films.

There's still a ways to go - the release won't be until September 13th - but it's still heartening to know that this rare entry in Toho's kaiju series is, at long last, on the way.
