I'd like to thank you guys for the explaination about the "sea louse" at the beginning of G-85. I'd always wonderd about that. The way the American version is cut and dubbed, it almost makes the whole opening scene of the ship adrift seem like it was taken from some other, totally unrelated, movie.

Someday, I'll have to find the original version and see if the story hangs together better.

On the whole, I don't think it's the worst Godzilla film out there... in fact I think there are several in the series that are ahead of it for that honor... but it's not the best either. Still, I think it was good enough to have in my collection. I think I still drag it out every couple of years to watch it again.
