Godzilla Movie Poster Series one: Terror of MechaGodzilla

Terror of MechaGodzilla was not only the first Godzilla movie that I ever saw, it is also a great movie.  Most of those who have seen this movie have only seen the U.S. version which happens to be extremely edited.  I read that those who were releasing the film in the US back in the 70's wanted to reach as large an audience as possible so they cut everything out of it that might be offensive.  This included the most crucial moment near the end of the film.  After the aliens have hidden the controls to MechaGodzilla inside the mind of the beautiful Katsura, she realizes that the only way to end the terrible reign of the monster is to do the unthinkable, suicide.  This moment is not only powerful it also echoes back to the sacrifice Dr. Serizawa made in order to defeat the first Godzilla.  Not a perfect film by any means but it is a great one.
