Even after I learned about how he was added to the original, I always wondered whether maybe he was in the REMAKE from the start, which makes a kind of flimsy sense. I mean, the Toho people would've known about the American version with Raymond Burr, and might've even become sentimental about it along with THEIR version! So inviting him to be part of the ' 84 version from the START wouldn't have been strange. So I was kind of disappointed to learn that he was added on once again. (How well do Japanese audiences know the American "version," or is that too general a question to answer?)

The funny thing is, it got them confused when some Japanese dialog was left in, the Japanese subtitles of the U.S. dialog said something else.

borisandbelarule wrote Raymond Burr, in explaining to the knuckleheaded American general what Godzilla is all about, wraps up his history lesson by saying, "And, just for the record, 30 years ago they never found a corpse." Of course they didn't! He was vaporized, wasn't he?___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ borchabob wrote I know I'm chimming in a little late here, but I just recently recieved my Godzilla 1985 dvd. I also felt that line was odd.In the film Gojira, Takashi Shimura's character Dr. Yamane says " I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species...But if we keep on conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear...some where in the World again.This scene was unfortunatly cut from the American version, which might explain that line in the 1985 film.I am also one of those people who like the mean Godzilla. I've only collected Gojira and the Godzilla 1985 dvd's. The other films, even as a kid, always seemed silly to me. I never could get into them.
