The arresting original Godzilla soon gave rise to an entire monster movie genre (kaiju eiga), but the King of the Monsters continued to reign supreme: in fourteen fiercely entertaining sequels over the next two decades, Godzilla defended its throne against a host of other formidable creatures, transforming from a terrifying symbol of nuclear annihilation into a benevolent (if still belligerent) Earth protector. Collected here for the first time are all fifteen Godzilla films of Japan’s Showa era, in a landmark set showcasing the technical wizardry, fantastical storytelling, and indomitable international appeal that established the most iconic giant monster the cinema has ever seen.     Notes Here is a list of all the original classic GODZILLA films, it consists of three segments: / / / Segment 1: / / #1 GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS / / #2 GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN / / Segment 2: / / #3 KING KONG VS.
