Here’s our Godzilla boxset, also featuring a bunch of non-Godzilla movies?
Can I say “da fuq” on this board?
It wouldn't be so strange, as they are all in a shared universe, to various degrees. Take Rodan for instance. We know Criterion have the rights to it, and the Godzilla film Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster assumes viewers have seen Rodan and are familiar with the character.

I made my way over there when the crowd subsided. I asked any info on the boxset that was rumored, including the target online info.
Their response: “Expect an announcement from Criterion this week.”
I think those first several numbers are on all their releases.Yaanu wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 9:47 pmI did a UPC lookup and it shows that the release's UPC shares the first several numbers with Criterion's other releases, dating back to the LaserDisc era.
That's what I'm getting at: The UPC number is in line with Criterion's other releases, meaning that it's 99% a Criterion release and not some random yet coincidental release by, like, Mill Creek Entertainment.Godzamera wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 12:16 amI think those first several numbers are on all their releases.Yaanu wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 9:47 pmI did a UPC lookup and it shows that the release's UPC shares the first several numbers with Criterion's other releases, dating back to the LaserDisc era.
Six laserdisc titles (Godzilla vs. Mothra, Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, Godzilla's Revenge, Terror of Mechagodzilla, and both the original and U.S. versions of the '54 film) got far enough to have UPCs and catalog numbers assigned, though not spine numbers. David Kalat referred to it as a "set" when he was interviewed about the Gojira/King of the Monsters DVD/Blu, but the Laserdisc Database has individual entries with $39.95 price tags, so they may have been meant as standalone releases. I've never seen an explanation for their cancellation, but Paramount released English-dubbed, pan-and-scanned versions of all of them except the original Gojira, so perhaps Criterion wasn't able to obtain the necessary materials to do OAR releases with Japanese audio, or they were planning to license them from Paramount (which only happened once in the LD era, with Robinson Crusoe on Mars) and that fell through.
